STOA was founded in 1991. Olaf Parusel (comp./arr.) looked at this time for a new way to connect his musical and philosophical thoughts.
they are one of my fave bands ever, i love them very much.

interview:
ART, TECHNOLOGY, PHILOSOPHY:
STOA - pl. Stoae, in Greek architecture, a freestanding colonnade or covered walkway; also, a long open building, its roof supported by one or more rows of columns parallel to the rear wall. The Stoa of Attalus at Athens is a prime example. (Enc. Britannica)
STOICISM - Stoicism was one of the new philosophical movements of the Hellenistic period. The name derives from the porch (stoa poikilê) in the Agora at Athens decorated with mural paintings, where the members of the school congregated, and their lectures were held. (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Stoic Marcus Aurelius begins 'Meditations' with a reference to people who influenced him with their character. Who would be people that you learned a lot from?
Naturally, I could mention big names now: Karl Jaspers, Erich Maria Remarque, John Stuart Mill … but mostly, however, there are inconspicuous people who shape the person. One learns from moments in which is felt ‘that something’ they have incited within oneself. Smile, if one does not expect it, a gesture, which gives trust; a sentence, which lets us think for a long time about it.
Some scholars say that his time bears a lot of similarities to world of today. Do you agree?
Wasn't always like that? Everything could be compared to some predecessor.
sToa is also 'anachronistic'. How do you combine classic and contemporary in your music and thought?
By taking the essence. And now as ever, we are humans with our feelings, hopes, fears. So, nothing elementary has changed in history of mankind.
I read that J.S. Bach's music is one of your favourites. "Brandenburg Concertos" are on board of Voyager for aliens to discover. Was that a good choice?
I doubt that music can accomplish anything in our contact with extraterrestrial life. A small shift in the perception of the frequency spectrum and music will circum-oscillate to simplicity. The human thought is very much ego-fixated. We still do not understand the whales or bats…
Technology of music making changed greatly. What are your views on use of digital equipment?
Actually, the technological development stands only at the beginning. The use of digital technique can bring large easements. In addition, it ‘democratizes’ music-making. It was never this simple to make a CD and present it to the world. In a long run, we would need only i-book and suitable software… however, the most important thing is thereby often missing - the inspiration. It is humans that use the technology and thus are the weakest point in its development.
Do advances in technology bring us progress?
It is interesting to clarify the German translation of the word "progress". It means "progressed" – in which one "progresses" together in time; and it could be interpreted as "walk away from something" as well.
The future lies in development of machines and tools. What is the current trend in interface design?
Generally it is to be observed that all technology places the technology itself and the feasible into the focus first. The practical use comes only later. Take a look, for instance, how brachial the first cars looked! Today they are comfortable, lavishly designed, much more safe and also much faster. The technology is humanized - with the computers for example, we are still very far from developed level.
Do you think that artificial intelligence can replace humans, namely would it be possible that a robot take Antje's place? <smile>
Die_antwort_ist - 42 <smile>
And, since by stoic belief, Divine is in every thing, where can we find it in robots?
Creation of a being is probably the most divine of all which one can be introduced to - and we witness it from the human viewpoint which is an illusion of size. This is however only the view of the monotheistic God. My world view is pantheistic - in which ALL is God. And in it, robots are included within nature, just as humans, air, the dust..
Your music is decorated by classical poems. Is there any science fiction book that might inspire you to write music?
Oh, certainly several, at least. “Neuromancer” perhaps, or works of H.G Wells.
Is there any contemporary artist (painter, sculptor) who's work might be orchestrated by sToas music?
Artwork of my spouse <www.froebnet.de>. But I had to say that, otherwise she would be angry. <smile>
Olaf's wish (and I heartily agreed) was to discuss questions of life in this interview. Not plans for the next album or concerts, but overall look through his thoughts. It' s supposed to shed a new light on his entire opus. We hope it did.
Might be you expected a conversation about sToa's music. Here is my description: His compositions seem as simple, neo-romantic classical pieces. People who listen to them carefully and faithfully know their depth. Timeless orchestrations, modern enhances the classical. There are some who set his works among the best albums ever produced. Their arguments are strong.

Thank you for recommending this band. After listening to them, they fall too much on the "new age" side (like Yanni, even if it is more symphonic ). I really like them though and will most likely purchase at least one of their albums for my personal collection.
Again, thanks for giving such complete postings. It makes things much easier for me AND I am learning about some great new bands.
