What should a guide to aromachemicals include? Some ideas: Affective dimensions: *valence, arousal, and dominance parameters *UniGEOS dimensions Properties and effects: *localization in odor space *ADSR/scent envelope *scent entropy *entropy within conventional perfume category *subcategory-level entropy *volatility *intensity *non-linear quality effects *non-linear quantity effects *psychoactive effects *phamacological properties *thermal effects *category-neutral qualities Combinational effects: *emergent effects with other scents (exotic qualia) *valence inversion effects with other scents *synergy and masking interactions *immiscibility/"powderiness" potential Contexualizing information: *source (whether natural or synthetic) *context in perfumery *sonification method I expect to flesh out this list as I accumulate knowledge of olfactory state-space.

Sonification of Electricity usage
I have a smart meter with a display in the hall. Trouble is, I hardly ever look at it and the data shows cumulative values rather than the energy being used right now. I had the idea of sonifying the data being recorded by my ESP8826-based electricity monitor. Currently it reports every minute to my sensor dashboard.
I initially thought of running this on an ESP32 or Pi Pico W since both have onboard Wifi which could be used to retrieve the current data from the dashboard. I looked at a few ways to do this, such as using Midi and even ordered a sound module.
However it occured to me that rather than build a device to play the sounds, it could be done as a web page using JavaScript to play the files. At the very least, this would be very useful for testing sonification schemes .
The key HTML feature is the <audio> tag to define the audio resources and the Javascript API to play the audio track. Playing around with this feature, I realised that audio tracks can be looped and can run in parallel and the volume of each track can be changed as the tracks are played.
An update rate of once a minute is too slow to show devices being turned on and off so the ESP8266 monitor was changed to report to another channel every 6 seconds to the dashboard. Only the latest record is recorded on this channel since a full history would be too large. This reading is fetched from the dashboard at the same rate. I'm exploring the idea of multiple sound tracks whose volume is adjusted in response to the level of usage. Currently I'm using six bird songs. Tracks are allocated to bands and as the level of energy usage, measured in watts, increases, tracks are brought into the soundscape with increasing volume.
This approach looks promising because it can be run on a phone and carried around the house, and can be listened to when away from the house. This is the current version. Data fetching and sounds can be turned on and off and the thresholds changed.
The problem now is to design the soundscape and thresholds to best represent the changing energy level.
Other sonification ideas
I'd like to look at getting the national Grid data - obtainable via an API described in https://bscdocs.elexon.co.uk/guidance-notes/bmrs-api-and-data-push-user-guide
This and data from the tree moisture sensor are multi-channel and will need a different approach to generating the soundscape

Stellar Serenade: Music from the Night Sky's Orchestra
Imagine a symphony composed by the cosmos, a celestial orchestra that plays melodies beyond our earthly comprehension. Enter the ethereal realm of "Stellar Serenade," where the night sky becomes a grand stage, and the stars themselves form an ensemble of cosmic musicians.
Unveiling the Cosmic Composition
At the heart of this celestial masterpiece is the cosmic composition that unfolds with the rhythm of the universe. Stellar bodies, from distant galaxies to our own solar system, contribute to the harmony of this otherworldly symphony. Each celestial entity, with its unique attributes, adds depth and richness to the music of the night sky.
Planetary Pianos and Solar Strings
Picture the planets as pianos, their gravitational interactions creating intricate chords and harmonies. The dance of asteroids and comets adds a touch of staccato, punctuating the cosmic melody. Meanwhile, the sun takes on the role of a grand string instrument, its solar flares and magnetic fields producing resonant vibrations that reverberate throughout the cosmos.
Celestial Winds and Nebular Notes
Beyond the planets and stars, the interstellar medium becomes the conductor's baton, guiding the flow of the composition. Nebulas, those vast clouds of gas and dust, act as celestial wind instruments, shaping the music with their ever-shifting forms and colors. The birth and death of stars contribute to the dynamic crescendos and diminuendos of this interstellar symphony.
Cosmic Harmony in the Night Sky
As we gaze at the night sky, we are treated to a mesmerizing display of cosmic harmony. The twinkling stars become musical notes, and constellations form patterns akin to a sheet of celestial sheet music. The planets, aligned in their celestial dance, create melodic phrases that captivate the imagination.
Capturing the Stellar Serenade
In recent years, astronomers and artists alike have endeavored to capture the essence of the Stellar Serenade. Through sonification, the conversion of astronomical data into sound, scientists have translated the electromagnetic waves emitted by celestial objects into audible frequencies. These sonifications allow us to perceive the cosmic symphony in a way that transcends the limitations of our human senses.
Contemplating the Infinite
Stellar Serenade invites us to contemplate the infinite beauty and complexity of the cosmos. It prompts us to marvel at the interconnectedness of celestial phenomena and the profound orchestration of the universe. The night sky, once seen merely as a canvas of stars, now reveals itself as a vast concert hall where the music of the cosmos plays on, transcending time and space.
Conclusion
Stellar Serenade is a testament to the boundless creativity of the universe, where stars and planets compose a symphony that resonates through the fabric of space. As we continue to explore and understand the cosmos, the night sky's orchestra remains an awe-inspiring source of inspiration, inviting us to listen with open hearts to the celestial music that echoes through the cosmos.

Exploring Stephan's Quintet with multiple senses Experts created two new visual and auditory experiences to explore the complexity and beauty of a compact galaxy group known as Stephan's Quintet. The guided three-dimensional visualization surveys the galaxies—their structures, characteristics, and interactions—captured in multiple wavelengths of light by some of NASA's great observatories. The sonifications scan two-dimensional images of the quintet, translating the data into sound to reveal the depth and richness this intricate environment holds. Using data gathered by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, Spitzer Space Telescope, Chandra X-ray Observatory, and James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers and visualization specialists from across several institutions came together to create two new unique sensory experiences of a compact group of galaxies known as Stephan's Quintet: a video guiding viewers through a three-dimensional visualization of the galaxies, and audio tracks based on two-dimensional observation images. These add to the previously-developed multi-wavelength images, large tactile/audio display table, and small tactile images, bolstering the overall sensory experience of Stephan's Quintet. These resources are the latest among a larger suite of products that enable users to explore the universe through diverse methods. Previous examples include a visualization of Eta Carinae and sonifications of Webb's first full-color images and spectra. By providing numerous approaches to understanding the data and astronomers' findings, access to the universe can be widened to members of the public with different learning needs and styles. "Having this cross-institutional collaboration called NASA's Universe of Learning enables us to explore these multi-wavelength, multi-format, and multi-sensory experiences for presenting astronomy to the public," said communications and education lead Gordon Squires of IPAC at Caltech in Pasadena, California. "Being able to see, hear, and touch a distant part of our universe is a rare and wonderful experience." Stephan's Quintet was selected to undergo these interpretation efforts for a multitude of reasons, including the range of existing observations from space-based telescopes (including Webb), and the strong, layered scientific story that can be dissected from this particular galaxy group. Viewers of the visualization can embark on a guided exploratory tour, and learn how observing different types of light from these galaxies—across the electromagnetic spectrum from infrared to X-rays—can reveal distinctive features of the quintet. The five-minute video delves into each of the five galaxies, the various galaxy types within the group, and the gravitational interactions and relationships between them. "The visualization team started with the scientific observations from the various telescopes, and then applied some of the same software that Hollywood uses in their feature films to the data," said visualization scientist Frank Summers of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, and AstroViz Project Lead for the NASA's Universe of Learning program. Summers led the team that developed the video. "This combination creates a cinematic learning experience, merging the intellectual and the emotional into one presentation so it has a stronger impact on the audience." Viewing Stephan's Quintet in 3D reveals information not accessible from a 2D point of view, such as the distance between the galaxies and the interactions among them. For example, one galaxy (NGC 7320) is actually much closer to Earth than the others, and another galaxy (NGC 7318B) is undergoing a high-speed collision. "Shifting from a 2D image to a 3D medium can help viewers really understand the structure of Stephan's Quintet," said Summers. "Each observatory that has spent time looking at these five galaxies has enabled us to gather diverse insights and form richer stories about this complex, compact group." While exploring Stephan's Quintet through a 3D visualization can unlock a new visual perspective for viewers, the pixels of the multi-wavelength 2D image have served as a scientific map, paving the way to an audio experience. This process of transferring and representing the data through sound is known as sonification. "Astronomy has always been very visual, but there's no reason why we have to represent the data through that manner alone," said Kimberly Arcand, a visualization scientist at the Chandra X-ray Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, who leads the development of sonifications for NASA's Universe of Learning. "This type of depiction is taking the scientific story of Stephan's Quintet—the deep, dense, and beautiful dataset—and translating it into an auditory experience." Each track is paired with the corresponding 2D image of the galaxy group, and users can follow along as the visual is scanned from top to bottom, "releasing" the points of data through sound. With so many layers, the user has agency in how they listen to the information. The participant can choose to listen to solos of the individual wavelengths gathered by each respective observatory, or hear the full, harmonizing multi-wavelength version. The abundance of instruments in the multi-wavelength sonification track creates a symphony-like experience. Specific instruments are associated with particular objects: The synthetic glass marimba represents the background galaxies and foreground stars captured by Webb, while the stars with diffraction spikes are represented through crash cymbals. The five main galaxies were assigned smoothly-changing synthetic tones, whereas the X-rays observed by Chandra have a more synthetic string-type of sound. "When data is translated for another sense, in this case into sound, it creates an opportunity to process that information in a different way," explained Arcand. "The sonification provides a moment in time to think about where this object is situated in the greater space environment, and can also highlight certain aspects of the data that may not have been noticeable at first glance. Through sound, the listener can get a sense of a super fun dance party: four close interacting galaxies and one sort of introverted galaxy a little further away." For Christine Malec, a member of the blind and low vision community who supports this project, the sonifications offer an approachable and visceral way to engage with astronomy. "Sonifications offer a sensory way for me to experience the scale and potency of astronomical phenomena," said Malec. "They are an invitation to blind and partially-sighted people to listen, enjoy, and then go deeper by reading to understand what exactly is being heard." Although two differing modalities, the visualization video and sonifications of Stephan's Quintet work in complementary ways that ultimately support a deeper understanding and greater appreciation for this wonder in the universe.

Lous and The Yakuza’s “Solo” Is the Personification of Silk
Tumblr media
The smoothness of velvet, silk, or satin is something we usually link to material trappings like clothes or curtains. Well, in gracing us with her new single, “Solo,” Lous and The Yakuza transcends the sleekness of velvet, silk, and satin, materializing a sonic plushness that is hard to resist.
Lous and The Yakuza was born Marie-Pierra Kakoma in Congo. She grew up between Rwanda and Congo before ultimately moving to Belgium to pursue music. The R&B/pop/trap soulstress came up with her artist name in two parts. First, Lous is “Soul” backwards and, as Kakoma describes it, her music is “the language of [her] soul.” Second, Yakuza stands for the producers, musicians, managers, and everyone involved in helping transfer her music from notebook idea to actualized reality. Yakuza also means gangster or mafia in Japanese (a culture Kakoma is fascinated by).
Kakoma’s majestic single is guided by her smooth vocals, delicate strings that sound like the blend of a ukulele and a harp, and skipping percussion, which hints at a trap beat that never fully drops, keeping you invested throughout every second of the song. Kakoma sings in the chorus about how no matter what we do, “on restera solo,” which translates to “we will stay solo.” 
The song’s minimal production aligns beautifully with its French lyrics, as if making the instruments, too, sound lonely. “Solo” even ends with isolated vocals, as Kakoma sings the last few lines solo, without any accompaniment. 
Lous and The Yakuza is certainly one to watch. Whether or not you speak French, the sonification of silk achieved in the precious melodies weaved in throughout “Solo” will surely have you hooked.

Benefits of Hand Mixer Blender:
Hand mixer blender, as you might suppose, is a hand mixer with attachments. They can do much of what traditional hand mixer with attachments and food processors do, but have additional benefits:
Tumblr media
Lightweight:
Most hand mixer blender weighs 2 to 5 pounds, so concrete hand mixer blender making you more likely to pull them out than a heavy-duty food processor.
Easy to use:
Hand mixer blender is a portable device so just plug it on, and done.
Compact:
Hand mixer blenders are the minor blending appliance and store easily in a drawer or you can hang it on the wall with the help of rings. They are ideal for small kitchens with already-confined storage space.
Appropriate:
Bring your hand mixer blender to the food, not the other way around! No more dragging hot liquid across the kitchen and pouring it into your countertop hand mixer uses. Simply submerge the hand mixer for concrete into whatever you want to blend and you are done—without dirtying an extra vessel.
Versatility:
Hand mixer blender help you easily make lots of different things, from soup or gravy to mayonnaise and hand mixer with whisk attachment for whipped cream.
Baker:
If you often cook at home and bake cakes, biscuits, and other baked goods, you may want to add or replace your old bread pan with a new one choosing from the 5 pans we’ve selected for you.
Dough maker:
To make a perfect batter or dough, it’s better to opt for a mixer with the power not less than 150 watts. Otherwise, beating and kneading will take much more time and effort. A concrete hand mixer is an excellent option for making the dough. For cake or crepe batters, you can take the classic beaters, while for dense Chapatti or Thepla dough, you will need dough hooks. Notably, to get rid of lumps, it is necessary to knead at maximum high speed. The high speed also works great for sticky choux paste for Bhature.

Considerations Before Buying a Concrete Hand Blender:
Tumblr media
The use of the machine
It is an important factor you need to watch how often will you use it? If you are already salivating at the thought of all the delicious things you can make with your fascination What Features to Compare before buying a hand mixer blender.
Power
The power of the mixer control its performance. The higher it is, the quicker the mixer will mix food. It’s better to decide right away what tasks you will need your concrete hand mixer for. If you don’t think you will need to mix the batter and tough vegetables or fruit a lot, 100-150 W mixers will suit you. However, if you plan to use it quite determinedly and for a great variety of ingredients, it’s better to opt for 200-250 W mixers or more powerful. 
Attachments
It’s important to check out what attachments are included in the package since the more there are the more cooking tasks you’ll be able to perform. All attachments are made of stainless steel to be durable and heavy-duty. Like if you are looking for a tool for baking u need a hand mixer with whisk attachment.
Mixing Speeds
The mass of hand mixer with retractable cord work at 3-5 speeds. Nevertheless, you can find models that can operate at 7-12 speeds. The more speeds the more ingredients and with less effort, you will be able to mix. What we’d also recommend you to pay awareness to is whether the chosen appliance has a “Pulse button”.
With it, it’s possible to moderately change the speed and achieve much better compatibility of different mixtures. The slow-start function proves useful especially when mixing liquids. If you want to keep your kitchen countertop clean, make sure to check this out.
Tumblr media
Design
Most Hand mixer with retractable cord is made of plastic and fitted with some metal elements or inserts. Concrete hand mixer blender also comes in different sizes, authorizes you to pick the best suitable one for your kitchen. Even though, most of them don’t require a lot of space anyway. Some models may also offer you convenient storage of a pivoting cord right inside the unit.

17 January 2020
2020 vision
(Yes, of course I was going to do that eventually. Yes, 2020 hindsight will inevitably be a headline at some point.)
Whitehall Monitor 2020, our flagship report on the size, shape and performance of government, with lots of lovely #dataviz, will be out over the weekend/early next week. More in next week's edition, but we may be able to squeeze you into Tuesday lunchtime's launch event, where - after I outline some of the key conclusions - a brilliant panel will discuss what's in store for government in 2020. Come! Or watch the livestream.
Trending
Yesterday, I took part in a (really enjoyable) launch event for NatCen's new report looking at 50 years of social trends. We touched on optimism (think Our World in Data or the Roslings showing how things have improved globally) versus pessimism (dig beyond the headlines and there are some surprising facts - and, you know, climate change, geopolitics, etc etc etc), long-term policy making and the difficulties of working across government, the need to go beyond aggregated and headline data, and the need for government to just get better at data in the widest sense.
Nice question from former national statistician, Jil Matheson, in response to a mention I made of decision-ready information - how do we get information-ready policy-makers? I'm not sure this recent Ipsos MORI report is hugely encouraging on our prospects... but I think talking about 'data' in a way that makes sense to 'non data people' and conveys its importance, and increasing the political costs of not using information well, are parts of the solution. And I don't think any of us quite knows, yet, how to navigate a transformed information ecosystem around politics and political information.
A second Cummings
Just to add briefly to last week... I don't think it's an earth-shatteringly original prediction to say there'll be a lot of stories about the use and abuse of personal data this year (the New Year Honours 'leak' was a fitting start to 2020 in that respect). But I'm not sure the last few paragraphs of this article, which discuss targeting content at the public (content that 'really engages people') and a unit modelled on the Tory election campaign, are getting quite the attention they deserve. For all the excitement about what could come out of Downing Street on data, we don't have much detail yet. And you may remember the hoohah about data from GOV.UK being used 'to allow targeted and personalised information to be gathered, analysed and fed back actively to support key decision making'.
I wonder (genuine question) if people would feel differently about such data being used to improve the delivery of digital public services versus government using it to target information at people. Many governments are working out the place of government comms in a disintermediated world (decline of gatekeepers like newspapers, governments/corporations/charities etc can communicate directly with the public), but where is the line? As per the joint civil society letter last year, government needs to have conversations about how it uses personal data in public and with the public, otherwise we might squander the opportunity to use such data ethically and intelligently for the public good. </ramble>
Some other points in brief:
Invitations to the first Data Bites of the year will hopefully be going out very soon - for 6pm on Thursday 6 February. (We'll be back to the first Wednesday of the month after that.) Catch up with previous events here.
It's the Masters snooker at Ally Pally this week. I'd almost forgotten I'd played around with some snooker dataviz from last year's world championships. (And if you're wondering why I'm not even attempting any snooker puns, it's because they're all in the post. You have been warned.)
Very sorry not to be at UKGovCamp this weekend, but I hope everyone has a fantastic (and productive) time. I'll be following along here.
And keep an eye out and ears open (and any other body parts in the appropriate position, for that matter) for the latest IfG Inside Briefing podcast later. There will be music. Previous sonifications here.
Have a great weekend

vimeo
This is a track and video from the Emergence AV project. The story as a whole visualises natural laws and their emergent properties of the observable universe and it’s timeline through planets, life, humans and society. This particular chapter of the story is an abstracted visualisation and sonification of the importance of cycles in this system. We are surrounded by cycles, in our days, seasons, behaviours, growth and decay, birth and death, cell cycles, maddening cyclic thought processes and obsessive repetition, the cycles in neural networks which form the basis of our awareness, the repetition of almost all things, and their impermanence. This idea is captured musically with a simple arpeggiating riff and looped musical structure that only builds without deviating from it’s repetition. And a visualisation of the complexity that can arise from nested cycles of different forms, each interacting with all others. Craig (Numbercult) specialises in building generative visual systems which are programmed to react to the different elements of the track, as well as being controlled live. I asked him if he could create a system full of different cycles, each mapped to the different audio elements, many of which are layered in the piece of music, and in parallel, in the video. The result is this final live rendition of Cyclic, with all of it’s complex interlinking geometries representing the complex web of interacting cycles in the real world. I love how it sometimes seems to create 3-dimensional objects and recognisable forms, in amongst the chaos! Some words from Craig about his process of creating the video - "The original concept was to build an animation around the track ‘Cyclic’. The track has powerful layers of complex percussion which producing a building mechanistic intensity. This is counterbalanced with melodic weightiness and a sense of scale, which evolves in waves across the piece. Max pushed the design to include a shift from 2d to 3d, and I conceived of a mechanistic structure that becomes part a sort of (futurist inspired) clockwork solar system (based on the orrery). Rather have a conventional linear narrative or ‘journey’ I liked the idea of the Schrodingers multiverse. Working on that principle, multiple unique versions of the original system were developed by first duplicating the original solar system multiple times. Each solar system then developed independently; they  contain their own behaviours, geometries and relationships, yet all occupy  the same space and share a common aesthetic. The music guides the narrative as we journey between all the overlapping solar systems, the journey is between dimensions rather than across space which I thought fitted nicely with the ideas expressed in the music:  deepening but retaining a common hypnotic template. Each of the solar systems is generative; the whole project is recorded in real-time with no post production. Each recording is entirely unique guided only by the rules that govern each component system and its response via FFT analysis and directly from midi triggers and clock"

The government has become the enemy of the people. No one can deny that they are colluding with social media to censor everyone on the internet. Both parties are calling for unconstitutional gun control measures from bump stocks to silencers to Red Flag Laws. How long are we going to pretend that our government serves the people? Or that the people really have any say? I for one will not abide tyrants and have every intention in engaging in open rebellion against Jews, pedos and traitors.  They are clamping down hard on free speech, gun rights, going after "hate crimes" and pushing the idea that whites are domestic terrorists. Day of the Rope draws nigh.  http://bit.ly/2JWUqOh You can call for violence and revolution as much as you want with ZERO legal culpability in the US. http://bit.ly/1B8OCb1 What this means: Unless your speech directly inspires some one to commit a violent crime in your immediate vicinity immediately after expressing your speech AND this was your intent, you are 100% protected. Here, let's try it out: You can even directly threaten some one online: Don't be afraid of being put on a 'list'. We are all on the list already. See: mass surveillance. They are just trying to intimidate you. Look at the legal precedents and firmly exercise your rights. Who are our symbols or important figures? I've made a small list but we should add more. We need to develop a year-round schedule of events and people to remind the public of what we are fighting for. Ted Kaczynski Brenton Tarrant Seth Rich Aaron Swartz Reddit founder Marvin Heemeyer The Killdozer Julian Assange Gary Webb We must win the infowar before we can fight the race war. A fuckton of people have woken up the the Jewish agenda but we still need more to reach that oh-so-essential critical mass. We also need to start getting organized IRL in "friend groups" that meet and train and discuss tactics. Don't openly call yourselves militias or white nationalists but work towards those ends regardless. Symbols: Tricorn hat Revolutionary Figures New Figures: Ted Kaczynski Brenton Tarrant Seth Rich Aaron Swartz Reddit founder Marvin Heemeyer The Killdozer Juliana Assange Gary Webb Terry A. Davis Symbolic events Waco Ruby Ridge POSSIBLE ALLIES: Amish Japanese Hindu Indians Mormons Ethnic Europeans THE ENEMY: Jews Pedos Traitors Muslims Jews Chinese Socialists Should Terry A Davis be considered? I believe he holds a special place in this Pantheon. He is the most Chaotic of the bunch.
the revolution you speak of is already underway - there is no putting it back into the box - there are tens of millions of people that have “nothing left to lose” they’re fukin pissed and ready to kill - they’re not rednecks but 18 - 35 yr old’s who have lost hope - they work at wal mart and ready lubes and starbucks who spend 1/2 their income to degenerate hypocrite boomer landlords who will feel the full wrath of their anger - sonif yer legit pray for a carrington event - it will make it much easier with the comm system down...
I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided; and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years, to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves, and the House? Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with these war-like preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled, that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask, gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us; they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done, to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne. In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free2 if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending2if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained, we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us! They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? hall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitableand let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come. It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!  I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! The truth and violence, but it MUST be in that order.  Most importantly though, whites need to start viewing each other as blood-brothers and allies. (((Individualism))) has poisoned out society and eroded community bonds. This damage must be healed but I'm not exactly sure how other than pointing at a common enemy. We need to start organizing into small, unofficial militia groups with similar agendas.  Jews are so powerful today because they ENJOY working together to cause mayhem and to further their own wealth and power. Jews almost never betray each other and seem to have evolved to mob together to get what they want collectively. It's literally instinct for them. We must emulate this to an extent but with waging an actual war rather than the soft-power games that kikes excel at.  Also, JOIN THE MILITARY. We need lot's of allies embedded within the armed forces, because without their help we will never win.
I think you doth glow too much. But just in case you don't, you need to be realistic. The few hundred people here and the 'tards with their own militias are way too small to accomplish anything before getting mowed down by the national guard. You can't do it like this. You have to start with a militia, start in small towns where people see this kiked bullshit and grow yourself a movement. How did the revolution succeed? With wide support, like over 60%. You have like 0.6% and want to take down a heavily funded and well oiled machine. You can't. Build an "SJW" like movement and then we can talk.
We are going to take this seriously and go step by step. Create a list of grievances, a list of enemies, and discuss ways to move forward in ending Tyranny in the United States. We need a calendar of events to draw peoples attention and give us reason to make noise constantly. Ebba Aukerlund Waco Ruby Ridge Seth Rich Otoya Yamaguchi
We need the minds before the power goes out. That's why we need to start propaganda now. Detail who the problem is, what crimes they have committed, start a public discussion and demand change. We need another name for this besides Open Insurrection... so we can talk about it on other forums Organize and train in your local community. But don't just prepare for the day of the rope. If you bunker up with MRE's and guns you will be called a cult and the swat team will descend upon you. The proper course of action is to nominally engage with society as it is, while changing the communities you occupy. This doesn't mean riots or protests, it means starting projects to improve neighborhoods, and following through on them. The ONLY way to avoid being false flagged is to present yourselves consistently as above reproach. But the only way to cause bigger reverbrations is to be seen as better men. This means you and your lads must relentlessly pursue intellectual and physical supremacy. To be /fit/ and /lit/, one and all. By happy coincidence, lifting together and deb8ing each other will foster comeraderie, trust, and solidarity.  THE WAY TO TAKE BACK OUR LAND IS INCH BY FUCKING INCH. This is my whitepill, and I hope it's yours as well, anons\\ word from the editor  the only way to do this is to red pill as many as we can.. once people know what is going on no one will stand for it and they will all stand up... we have the right to take our country back remember that we can do this with out fighting or anyone getting hurt.. why destroy all we built  https://thedevilman666.blogspot.com/https://www.facebook.com/groups/qanonreports https://twitter.com/CIACLOWN1 https://www.bitchute.com/channel/ciaclown16661/

Get to Know Camera Obscura Studio Resident Alex Wand
Alex Wand is in residence at the Camera Obscura Art Lab from April 24 through July 17, 2019. A Grammy Award-winning musician and composer based in Los Angeles, he performs as a solo artist and with the groups Desert Magic and The Partch Ensemble. He often collaborates with filmmakers, dancers, and coders, to create music scores that involve his interests in just intonation, sonification, folk music, and sound art.  For his residency project, he is exploring the sonification – that is, the translation into sound of non-sound information – of movement from ocean waves and the visual data observed from the Camera Obscura mechanism. Both activities are part of his continuing study of the range of sounds that can be drawn from the environment. During his public events, he leads music-making and ear-training events open to all.
Question: Tell us more about “sonification.” Is this an act of translation?  Sonification maps data to sound. I like experimenting with how sonification can illuminate or bring a new perspective to natural phenomena. During a collaboration with choreographer Jay Carlon, my curiosity with motion-activated sounds led me to explore how the waves in the ocean can activate sounds on my synthesizer via accelerometer data. Another piece that uses non-musical data as source material is Dance of the Planets, an interactive solar system sonification app I created in collaboration with my music collective, Desert Magic. In this piece, we mapped eight musical patterns to tempos based on each planet in our solar system and their distinct orbital speeds. Listeners then activate, deactivate, and randomize the planet patterns to create their own soundscape of cosmic polyrhythms. 
From Desert Magic, danceoftheplanets.com At my residency at Camera Obscura, I’m interested in using the Obscura itself as the source material and inspiration for the sound. This will include an auditory realization or sonification of the street and ocean views as seen through the camera mechanism. I’m interested in exploring different ways one can perceive land. So often we think of land in terms of maps and political boundaries. Inside the obscura is a different perspective of land where one can be immersed in the surrounding streetscape and the ocean. During my residency, I want to create music and sound that also makes one feel immersed in these surroundings. Q: Speaking of boundaries, your most recent project, Camino de las Monarcas, involved following migratory patterns of butterflies and planting native seeds; what inspired the project?  In the fall of 2018 I completed a 2,000-mile bicycle trip that followed migratory paths of the monarch butterfly from Los Angeles to Michoacan, Mexico. Throughout the trip, I posted annotated videos each day on my blog, Camino de las Monarcas. The videos contain stories of ecological discovery, bike adventure tales, field recordings, original music, and investigate non-anthropocentric outlooks on ecology. My landing point was the Guapamacátaro Residency in Michoacan, where I was artist-in-residence during January of 2019.  This cycling trip was my version of Donna’s Haraway’s science fiction tale, Camille Stories. In the story, the protagonist Camille, lived a life that was entwined with the monarch butterfly by planting milkweed and working with people on the monarch’s path to protect this threatened critter. I was inspired by Camille and wanted to live out my own real-life version of this fictional story. 
Alex Wand during his Camino de las Monarcas project, 2018 Q: During the project it looks as if you went by a Spanish version of your name – do you consider the project a performance?  My alias for the monarch cycling project was Alejandro Botijo. I guess I do consider the project a performance but I also consider Alejandro Botijo to be an actual part of me. My mother is Argentinean so I liked the idea of having a name that reflects the hispanic side of my family. I create aliases for myself that highlight certain qualities of my person. I think of them like archetypal, mythological people that help me realize existing aspects of myself. For example, Alejandro Botijo is helped me bypass the physical limitations of my body, feelings of loneliness, fear of being hit by a truck, along with many other vulnerabilities that come with cycling over 2,000 miles alone. 
Q: What is music? Music is joyfulness and beauty and not beauty and heartbreak and the wind all in one thing and not.  Q: Who should participate in your public events? What do you hope to see and hear?   I hope both musicians and non-musicians attend my public events. They are designed with inclusivity in mind. Come prepared to learn folk melodies and experience the joy of group singing. I will probably bring some muffins or cookies. too.  
Originally from Detroit, Alex Wand studied music composition at the University of Michigan and at CalArts with composers Bright Sheng, Michael Fink, Ulrich Krieger, and Wolfgang von Schweinitz. He is a guitarist and singer who has performed at venues and festivals from California to Tibet such as REDCAT, MicroFest, the Bootleg Theater, and the Xinghai International Poetry Festival. He often writes music for film and dance with recent projects including the documentary The Harvest Run, the drama Porcupine, and Sometimes I Fall, an evening-length dance piece by Carlon + Lollie Dance Company. In 2014, he founded Song A Day, a challenge to musicians to write and upload a song every day for a month. With sessions every January and July, the collective has written over 7,000 songs. Most recently he biked 2,000 miles from Los Angeles to Michoacan, Mexico for his project Camino de las Monarcas, and composed the score for choreographer Jay Carlon’s FLEX at L.A. Dance Project.  alexwand.com   About the Camera Obscura Studio Residency program     Santa Monica Cultural Affairs presents participatory art and culture programs for adults at the Camera Obscura Art Lab. Inspired by the camera mechanism, which has been beloved attraction in Santa Monica since 1898, activities in this community art practice space celebrate the power of art to change perspective. Residency programs invite local artists to spend time on the far western edge of the continent to create and explore ideas and practices in concert with the community. The resulting projects highlight the intersection of fine art and handcraft and offer access to a variety of artistic practice and instruction.

  Theme:
The conference intends to present the research and the latest development of musical interfaces and robots for musical instruments. The musical interfaces refer to the development of interactive systems for sound and music, which are based upon sensors and others in order to capture gesture and movement in real time. These also relate with Programming, such as Mapping Interfaces and Gesture Followers, as well as some applications of Media Arts. The robots for musical instruments mean automated instruments, which are performed by motors and controlled by a computer. This conference much tends to present in non-academic style and to discuss about the latest issue and the future perspective.
  Descriptions:
 Frédéric Bevilacqua
“Designing Sound Movement Interaction: Models, Mapping and Interfaces”
 I will present the research performed by the Sound Music Movement Interaction team at IRCAM in Paris. Our research and applications concern the development of interactive systems for sound and music, and more specifically systems allowing for gesture and movement interaction. Various tangible interfaces, such as the Modular Musical Objects have been developed, along with methods to map movement to sound. In particular, we make use of interactive machine learning techniques for continuous motion recognition and mapping such as Gesture Follower, or more recently the XMM library (by Jules Françoise). Recently, we have also experimented with systems enabling collective interaction using smartphones (CoSiMa and Rapid-Mix projects). Many applications will be presented, mainly related to music and performing arts.

Suguru Goto
“My robot works for music and my sensor-based performance “
 A public: « why are you making a robot for music? »
Me: « I want to go beyond the limit that an human player can do. »
A public: « Yeah, sure. The robot can eternally play any music without any complains and without any fees, hum? (Sniff) »
Me: « Having gone beyond the limit of human, I would like to be able to listen to music that I have never listened. »
A public: « Well, you know. A robot does not have any emotion and any feeling. »
Me: « The emotion and the feeling belong to music itself. A robot may possess intelligence to perform music with expression. Human thinks that they are too important to accept these, thus they do not share the emotion of music, when it is performed by non-human ».
A public: « You seem to have watched too many Scientific Fiction movies. »
Me: « HAL is not the story in future. It has been already realized. »
A public: « I’d prefer to go to a concert of warm and tasty music by human. »
Me: « What is the warm and tasty music? As I think more about music, I do not know even what is really the definition of music. »
A public: « Well, I do not know neither. But don’t you want to listen to good music? »
Me: « Certainly. But it is not a matter who plays and composes it. »
A public: « So that a robot is no longer a servant for human? That sounds great. (Sniff) »
Me: « In fact, as I work more robots, I appreciate more the complexities of human. However, I have never thought that a robot is a replacement of human. Human is too much used to the customs and traditions. I rather expect that a robot can do something different from human. That is to say a new art form."
 Suguru Goto is a media artist, an inventor and a performer and he is considered one of the most innovative and the mouthpiece of a new generation of Japanese artists.

Bio-Sensing and Bio-Feedback Interfaces
 The brief summery of presentation
 I will report (with short demonstration performance) about new instruments applied by biological information sensing, biofeedback and multi-channel tactile sensors. Recently I developed three projects - (1) a new EMG sensor "Myo" customized to be used as double sensors, (2) a new brain sensor "Muse" customized to be used by OSC, and (3) an originally developed "MRTI (Multi Rubbing Tactile Instrument)" with 10 tactile sensors. The key concept is BioFeedback which has been receiving attention about the relation with emotion and interception in neuroscience recently.
The commercialized sensors "Myo" and "Muse" are useful for regular consumers. However, we cannot use them as new interfaces for musical expression because they have a number of problems and limitations. I have analyzed them, and developed them for interactive music. The "DoubleMyo" is developed with an original tool in order to use two "Myo" at the same time, in order to inhibit the "sleep mode" for live performance on stage, and in order to communicate via OSC. The "MuseOSC" is developed with an original tool in order to receive four channels of the brain-wave, and 3-D vectors of the head.
Even though not dealing the direct bio-signals, the tactile sensor is very interesting / important for human sensing. The "RT corporation" in Japan released the "PAW sensor" which is a small PCB (size 21.5mm * 25.0mm, weight 1.5g) with a large cylinder of urethane foam on it. The output information of this sensor is four channel voltages which is time-shared conversion, which means the nuances of rubbing / touching the urethane foam by fingers. Then, I developed a system to use 10 "PAW sensors" with egg-shaped plastic container for ten fingers. The performer can control ten fingers by rubbing tactile action, and a total of 16 parameters from the PAW sensors are realtime mapped - to generate four voices by formant synthesis algorithm and - to generate realtime Open-GL graphics by fractal algorithm.
 Biography
 Yoichi Nagashima, composer/researcher/PE, was born in 1958 in Japan. He learned and played some instruments: violin, recorder, guitar, keyboards, electric bass, drums, and vocal/choral music. He was the conductor of Kyoto University Choir and composed over 100 choral music, and studied nuclear physics there. As the engineer of Kawai Musical Instruments, he developed some sound generator LSIs, and designed some electronic musical instruments, and produced musical softwares. From 1991, He has been the director of "Art & Science Laboratory" in Japan Hamamatsu, produces many interactive tools of real-time music performance with sensor/MIDI, cooperates some researchers and composers, and composes experimentally pieces. He is also a key-member of Japanese computer music community. From 2000, he has been also the associate professor at SUAC(Shizuoka University of Art and Culture), Faculty of Design, Department of Art and Science, and teaches multi-media, computer music and media-art. As a composer of computer music, he collaborates many musicians in his composition: Piano, Organ, Percussion, Vocal, Flute, Sho, Koto, Shakuhachi, Dance, etc. In 2004, he organized and was the General Chair of NIME04, and he became the associate professor of master course of SUAC. He became the professor on April 2007. He supported over 120 works and projects of interactive/multimedia installations from 2000, composed/performed many works of computer music, and organized/performed many lectures/workshops in many places all over the world.

SIGCIS 2017 - Philly, Oct 29 2017
“Dear Applicant,
The Organizing Committee for SIGCIS 2017, Measure, Model, Mix: Computer as Instrument, is pleased to accept your proposal!”
Here is the abstract and title I submitted:
Title: Instruments as computer: a dialogue with handmade algorithmic sound
Abstract: This proposal considers the machines that make our music electronic from the perspective of algorithmic signal processing. By presenting analog and digital processes as two side of the same data-transforming coin, we can contextualize the practices of varied innovators such as Louis and Bebe Barron and David Tudor from a uniquely productive point of view which helps us elucidate how high level abstract concepts like musical structure and poetic experiences come to be embedded in and influenced by those devices that made them possible.
Doing so also enables us in acknowledging that socio-cultural factors such as race, gender and class affect both the high level artistic goals and the implementation details of the low-level technical mechanisms. It is this three-way dialogue, between the artist, the technology (and its makers) and their cultural environment, which is particularly challenging to fairly assess.
This presentation offers a methodological sketch as it relates electronic music devices to signal processing and computing concepts, inspired by the media archeology of Wolfgang Ernst and Jussi Parikka. With their respective approaches, each suggests that objects and their abstractions can be read archaeologically, further nuanced by Wershler adding that  "there is no way to abstract the study of signal processing from its cultural articulations that doesn’t irreparably compromise research" (Parikka, 2011; Wershler, w2016). I develop their concepts into a draft  for an extended archeology of electronic music systems which takes advantage of electrical engineering and computer science concepts to characterize the music itself and acknowledge the uncredited influences that characterize most modern technological endeavours. I suggest that although we should, paraphrasing Foucault and Kittler, read electronic music artifacts as archives, we should be doing so by analysing and contextualising them as computers (as in Teboul, 2015, 2017). What are the black boxes, how does the concept of transfer function apply to artistic concepts, and are these functions reducible to independent building blocks or in a constant stage of shifting co-definition?
To illustrate this, I'll begin by offering a brief component-level history of electronic music from the late 19th century to today, showing how analysing circuits for their cultural significance can be productive. Then I'll relate completed case-studies to ongoing analyses of Charles Dodge's "Earth's Magnetic Field" and David Tudor's neural synthesizer device, which rely on both analog and digital devices. Charles Dodge talks of the "dialogue with the machine" which occurred to compose his piece, one of the first instances of scientific data sonification in music: I'll identify specific elements of his code and notes which illustrate how the piece is a compromise between Dodge's ideas, the electronic system itself, and the environment within which they interacted. I'll then extend this to Tudor's neural synthesis system, developed with Forrest Warthman and a team of IBM employees: this system is unique in that the structure of the computer, which explicitly incorporates Tudor as a decision-making device in its algorithmic process.

Max Cooper - Cyclic - Official Video by Numbercult from Max Cooper on Vimeo.
This is a track and video from the Emergence AV project. The story as a whole visualises natural laws and their emergent properties of the observable universe and it’s timeline through planets, life, humans and society. This particular chapter of the story is an abstracted visualisation and sonification of the importance of cycles in this system.
We are surrounded by cycles, in our days, seasons, behaviours, growth and decay, birth and death, cell cycles, maddening cyclic thought processes and obsessive repetition, the cycles in neural networks which form the basis of our awareness, the repetition of almost all things, and their impermanence.
This idea is captured musically with a simple arpeggiating riff and looped musical structure that only builds without deviating from it’s repetition. And a visualisation of the complexity that can arise from nested cycles of different forms, each interacting with all others.
Craig (Numbercult) specialises in building generative visual systems which are programmed to react to the different elements of the track, as well as being controlled live. I asked him if he could create a system full of different cycles, each mapped to the different audio elements, many of which are layered in the piece of music, and in parallel, in the video. The result is this final live rendition of Cyclic, with all of it’s complex interlinking geometries representing the complex web of interacting cycles in the real world. I love how it sometimes seems to create 3-dimensional objects and recognisable forms, in amongst the chaos!
Some words from Craig about his process of creating the video -
"The original concept was to build an animation around the track ‘Cyclic’. The track has powerful layers of complex percussion which producing a building mechanistic intensity. This is counterbalanced with melodic weightiness and a sense of scale, which evolves in waves across the piece. Max pushed the design to include a shift from 2d to 3d, and I conceived of a mechanistic structure that becomes part a sort of (futurist inspired) clockwork solar system (based on the orrery).
Rather have a conventional linear narrative or ‘journey’ I liked the idea of the Schrodingers multiverse. Working on that principle, multiple unique versions of the original system were developed by first duplicating the original solar system multiple times. Each solar system then developed independently; they  contain their own behaviours, geometries and relationships, yet all occupy  the same space and share a common aesthetic.
The music guides the narrative as we journey between all the overlapping solar systems, the journey is between dimensions rather than across space which I thought fitted nicely with the ideas expressed in the music:  deepening but retaining a common hypnotic template. Each of the solar systems is generative; the whole project is recorded in real-time with no post production. Each recording is entirely unique guided only by the rules that govern each component system and its response via FFT analysis and directly from midi triggers and clock"

Max pushed the design to include a shift from 2d to 3d, and I conceived of a mechanistic structure that becomes part a sort of (futurist inspired) clockwork solar system (based on the orrery).
Rather have a conventional linear narrative or ‘journey’ I liked the idea of the Schrodingers multiverse. Working on that principle, multiple unique versions of the original system were developed by first duplicating the original solar system multiple times. Each solar system then developed independently; they  contain their own behaviours, geometries and relationships, yet all occupy  the same space and share a common aesthetic.
The music guides the narrative as we journey between all the overlapping solar systems, the journey is between dimensions rather than across space which I thought fitted nicely with the ideas expressed in the music:  deepening but retaining a common hypnotic template. Each of the solar systems is generative; the whole project is recorded in real-time with no post production. Each recording is entirely unique guided only by the rules that govern each component system and its response via FFT analysis and directly from midi triggers and clock"
