Came off the ski slopes at Falls Creek for morning coffee and they were playing “She’s Not There” by The Zombies. Sun, snow and The Zombies - can’t get any better than that!
It's good to be back! Our house was hit by lightning in April, lots of damage but just about still habitable over the summer. The insurance company take their time, so we moved out a couple of weeks ago to a temporary home for a few months. The problem is that it takes around seven working days to move broadband in the UK. Without it you realise how much you rely on it. We know that when we move back it will happen again. It takes about thirty seconds to switch it, but one company has a monopoly of the routing in most of the UK, so if you do not use them as your internet service provider you get punished by an automatic delay!
Lowlife - I've bought the sondtrack CD but have still to see the film. I 'm sure it is worth seeing, though! You can tell I am a Springsteen completist as there is one track I haven't got and a couple of live versiosn I still aven't got either!!
All sounds are composed from a NASA Atlas V recording.
The
Atlas V family, which includes the flight-proven Atlas V 400 and 500
series, are the latest evolutionary versions of the Atlas launch system.
Atlas V uses a standard common core booster™ (CCB), up to five strap-on
solid rocket boosters (SRB), an upper-stage Centaur in either the
Single-Engine Centaur (SEC) or the Dual-Engine Centaur (DEC)
configuration, and one of several payload fairings (PLF). A three-digit
(XYZ) naming convention is used for the Atlas V 400 and 500 series.
This recording is to celebrate one year NASA’s mission OSIRIS-REx.
The
OSIRIS-REx was launched on 8 September 2016. It has been traveling for
more than a billion kilometers though space to grab a sample of dust
from the asteroid 101955 Bennu. On board a chip containing art from
Earth. NASA is hoping to find the origins of this universe in these
molecules. The OSIRIS-REx will take the sample and send it to Earth in
2021. The chip containing art will stay on the probe. On this chip works
of sound art and sound research of the composer-sonologist Roland Kuit.
The OSIRIS-REx will stay in space as a time & art capsule. This
work is a journey and an ode to the rocket Atlas V.

This was one of the last things I bought from eMusic - still available. There is a Vol 2 at Amazon, same label, but eMusic did not carry it! This was released in January, with Vol 2 out inMarch. I'm enjoying it so far. Good live jazz with an African/Latin element to it.
The Danish Golden Age Pieces are commissioned by the National Gallery
of Denmark for the exhibition: Danish Golden Age – World-class art
between disasters, 24 August - 8 December 2019.
World premiere
live recording from National Gallery of Denmark, August 23, 2019,
performed by Josefine Opsahl, cello and Ejnar Kanding, piano.
It
consists of three core pieces written with inspiration from three chosen
paintings and two intermezzi inspired by a single painting.
It is about the sensual, delicate and bodily intimate. . . .
This album, along with many others, reminds me how good eMusic was in developing my musical tastes. I'd have never purchased this as a CD, or probably even downloaded it from Amazon or iTunes. Yet eMuisc helped me develop my listening habits by making such music accessible at a price I was happy to pay. I'm not sure that services such as Spotify will encourage me in the same way.
