Sadakichi Hartmann was an art and literary critic who wrote plays, short stories and several volumes of poetry. Hauntingly beautiful, these seven early short stories dance with themes of beauty and death, love and the soul, and existence itself. As found in the book's biographical note: sometimes a great author tears the mask from life, so we may look at the truth of beauty. ( Nemo)
Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard
IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).
Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!
The reader will record the following at the beginning and end of each file:
No more than 0.5 to 1 second of silence at the beginning of the recording! START of recording (Intro):
"Chapter [number] of Schopenhauer in the Air. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit: librivox DOT org"
If you wish, say:
"Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
Say: "Schopenhauer in the Air, by Sadakichi Hartmann. [Chapter]"
For the second and all subsequent sections, you may optionally use the shortened form of this intro disclaimer:
"Chapter [number] of Schopenhauer in the Air by Sadakichi Hartmann. This LibriVox recording is in the Public Domain."
If you wish, say:
"Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
Only if applicable, say: "[Chapter title]"
END of recording:
At the end of the section, say: "End of [Chapter]"
If you wish, say: "Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
At the end of the book, say (in addition): "End of Schopenhauer in the Air, by Sadakichi Hartmann. "
There should be 5 seconds silence at the end of the recording.
Example filename schopenhauer_##_hartmann_128kb.mp3 (all lower-case) where ## is the section number (e.g. schopenhauer_01_hartmann_128kb.mp3)
Transfer of files (completed recordings) Please always post in this forum thread when you've sent a file. Also, post the length of the recording (file duration: mm:ss) together with the link.

Ava, yes!
He was born in Japan to a German father and Japanese mother. His mother died in childbirth and his father sent Sadakichi and his older brother, Taru, to Germany to be raised by his uncle and grandmother.
He had a very interesting life to say the least!
These stories are quite beautiful and are woven with that mystical Japanese flavor. I hope you enjoy them!

I wanted to do this biographical note 1st, as it was way cool!
Thanks,

Hi Nemo,
This is PL OK! This is my first time listening to any of your recordings (I think, been a long time LV listener). I love the tempo of the reading, I'll definitely adopt that best practice moving forward.
Thanks,
