Artist	Track	Album	Label	Year	Format	Comments	Images	New	Approx. start time
Komischer Läufer	Fur Seelenbinder   → "Fur Seelenbinder" by "Komischer Läufer"	The Secret Cosmic Music of the East German Olympic Program 1972-83, Vol. 3	Unknown Capability Recordings	2015		song dedicated to Olympic wrestler, Werner Seelendbonder / AKA Martin Zeichnete & (perhaps) Drew McFadyen / From the artist: Zeichnete worked as a sound editor for DEFA, (Deutsche Film-Aktiengesellschaft), the state-owned film studio. As a young East German of the time, he became infatuated with the Kosmische Musik or ‘Krautrock'. Martin, a keen runner, hit upon the idea of using the repetitive, motorik beats of this new music as a training aid for athletes. He thought it could benefit the mind as well as the body with the pulsing, hypnotic music bringing focus. A ‘borrowed’ prototype of Andreas Pavel’s Stereobelt showed Martin the technology to provide music on the move already existed and could easily be adapted for runners. After sharing his concept with colleagues Martin was taken from his studio to East Berlin, quizzed by the authorities about his ideas and...was surprised to find himself put to work by the Nationales Olympisches Komitee immediately. Installed in a cold Berlin studio with the few electronic instruments the state could supply (Martin asked for a Moog but was refused), he began one of the strangest journeys in music. Known to the government as State Plan 14.84L, Martin and his fellow musicians informally called it ‘Projekt Kosmischer Läufer’ (Cosmic Runner).			0:00:00 (Pop-up)
