can anybody of you tell me anything about this town, mainly musical/clubbing wise? i got an offer to study there for a year starting from february, looked up google but looks rather dull and uninteresting... if not aarhus - is there any town nearby where something is going on? |

What are you going to study? Is it the electro acoustic music thing? I'm no expert on Ã…rhus, but i can tell you a bit. It's the biggest city in the area, and the second biggest city in Denmark after the capitol of Copenhagen (Where i live). Anyway, the impression i get from people i know there, is that there is actually a lot of stuff going on for someone interested in culture. I am not sure about this, but a couple of years of go Ã…rhus was the place to be electronic music wise, having an even bigger scene for that compared to Copenhagen. People in Denmark might appear very cold at first, but if you get to know someone well, they are a true friend (That is what foreigners have told me at least). + LOTS of cute girls! Anyway, if you actually get to Denmark, you are very welcome to have a beer with me in Copenhagen :) |

Every week a ship from Reykjavik ships a shit load of containers. You can engage in containerspotting. |

no no the studies don't have absolute anything to do with music but with wastewater :) last week there was someone at our uni presenting the arhuus engineering college. so me and my friend aplied altough we were quite sure we won't have a chance because we don't really have good marks and i always thought that only good students actually get that far. the problem is that me and my friend are actually the only ones that aplied at all so we have quite good chances right now - it's a bit sudden in fact. the problem is that now i'm not really sure about it just looking at aarhus. i mean in fact it looks quite interesting - i mean 300 000 inhabitants + 50 000 students. i guess you're able to meet people from all over the world there. the thing is just that my musical expectations are quite high an i'm not really into partying with 70s and 80s music. i mean i don't expect to find some stricte idm club there but in fact even in aberdeen which i thought of as the end of the world had it's a nice club where even guests from warp appeared. i mean this won't probably count when i will decide if to go but still i wouldn't want to spend a year drinking in my student room. |

I hear ya - And 90% of the clubs will be 80'ies and even 90'ies music! BUT - I know there is a club there that has had artists like Bogdan Raczynski and Venitian Snares play, and lots of other interesting electronic music. There is an electronic scene in Denmark that i believe is worth checking out. You should consider it, i'm positive youre going to have fun! |

Yes check for the Prototybe event. I did a gig there in -04 and i think bogdan, venetian snares and ceephax have been on there too. Its a great venue and is lots of fun fun fun. And yes, very nice people. |

I agree with QRDL. You might look back on this years from now and find that going to study there was one of the best things you ever had the opportunity to do. |

thanks guys for the kind words. i guess you're right in fact - a lot of people tell me similar things. the problem is just that 2 years ago i moved from my home town to the city where i live right now for studying. is was forced too - i didn't pass the first year at my local uni and the tossed me out (not that i was lazy or bad learning, it's a long story and series of misunderstanding). it was quite shocking and i couldn't really find myself here. now after two years i have just mad myself comfortable, have a lot of friends, know where to go to party and there is actually quite alot going on here musical wise. i have a girlfriend since 3 weeks and the rest of poland is open for me too. i'm actually still quite axhausted after leaving mu home town, and now when i have really lived myslef into this place - again some change. the worst part is that denmark would be only a year, after that i would have to come back here for one semester, write finishing work, and then back to my hometown... jeez. the other thing is that - i wouldn't call myself a sociopath but i'm not really into student parties, drinking and sexing each other. i rather want to listen to some good music while siping a pint alone in a gloomy club :> |

the other thing that let's me think about this is the fact that um.... i'm in fact studying civil engineering - with the speciality of waste water engineering. i actually found myself after trying several times to uni's with audio engineering and in the end not finding anything in this theme at all. so i'm actually quite by mistake here. i in fact wanted just to finish my studies which don't really consume a lot of my time and in the back finish albums send demos etc. trying to start my musical career. i wanted to be signed in two years and if not - still have my degree so i could make some normal job too if i wouldn't get along with making music. this aarhus now is dead-serious. you know after this you are actually an expert in this stuff and you can go all over the world find some job with it. but a very time consuming job which definately wouldn't allow me to make music further. |

copenhagen would be a better choice, to be honest. however, aarhus has a small community of dedicated people, that are throwing amazing events.. mail me if you need specific information, i used to live there. |

a you know there are a lot of towns that would be a better choice :) the thing is that the uni in aarhus is the only choice i have right now being suited for the specialisation i do. this whole exchange is done between our uni's and i get grants and money for living. i could of course go to another town but i would have to do it on my own then. thanks for the info - i'll definately mail you once i'm there. i will want to see copenhagen too of course. |
