Going Nowhere - Antimatter - just what's on now from me asking google music to give me "things like Anathema"
So it looks like February set a new record for the coldest month in recorded history here
In the meantime we're in our second drought in three summers. It's really odd having these hot dry summer months, it's not supposed to be the case here.
- "‘Neuroplanets’ is an audio project which explores the aesthetics of information on sound. Initially, I worked in commissioned tracks from other artists, by transmitting on them sound analysis results from extremely rare sonic phenomena in other planets. After that, I manipulated these tracks by applying on them numerical/quantitative data and statistical elements from Neurosciences research in serious diseases. My aim was to ‘visualize’ on sound the diseases characteristics and impact on human nature.
The analysis of sounds includes methods enabling the permanent extraction or automatic structuring of diverse sorts of information given off by the signal, such as the fundamental frequency or the spectral evolution determining the pitch and timbre of a perceived sound. The methods used are based on signal processing, statistical analysis, information theory, machine learning and recognition techniques, but also on knowledge of auditory perception and acoustic system sound production.
Contemporary Neurosciences suggest the existence of fundamental algorithms by which all sensory transduction is translated into an intrinsic, brain-specific code. One of ‘Neuroplanets’ main goals was to directly simulate these codes within the human audible range. . ." http://novi-sad.net/projects/neuroplanets/
"Novi_sad is the guise for Thanasis Kaproulias (b. 1980) who holds a degree from the Economic University of Piraues. He lives and works in Athens, Greece. . ."
"TU's Franco-German libretto is based both on the spoken scenes of Mozart's famous opera Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) and on verses from French poet Ro(bert Desnostaken from his Corps et Biens). This dense text is sometimes declaimed, at other times roared or murmured by 15 interpreters, including Ghedalia Tazartès and Karine Sacco.
Musically, this is Michel Chion's most involved and virtuoso piece of work. The sound is assertive, abrupt, cold - one could even describe it as industrial - precise and rigid, until the profound and moving finale, similar in emotional content to the most intense moments of the artist's Requiem.
TU is definitely a unique work of art, bringing together literature, poetry, opera and French musique concrète."
More Blues! I love the title track, possibly because Paris is one of my favourite places anywhere in the World, and on a day like today, blue sky with slight wind, is the best for walking around Paris.

I think this was a google play freebie; I'm enjoying it.

I rarely look at Google Play - I must do more often.
Blues this morning!
