Excerpt from the plaque:
Sonic Rescue Ropes by Haegue Yang
Consisting of gleaming cords of bells, Haegue Yang’s Sonic Rescue Ropes stretch from ceilings of different heights all the way down to the floor. Their shiny visual effect and sublime, resonating sounds conjure shamanistic and pagan associations. Yang took inspiration from the traditional Korean folk tale Sister Sun and Brother Moon, which describes how two siblings became celestial bodies by climbing ropes from the heavens to escape danger on the ground. Yang’s multisensory abstract sculptures transform the soaring architecture of the museum into a mystical yet common civilizational space of aural storytelling and cosmic orientation.
🎧< Aural Inspiration *Vlad Holiday- So Damn Into You 🎧
It started with a bang
Don't know how you got me so messed up
But baby, I won't ever get enough, oh
'Cause I'm so damn into you...
I want to see you lay
Naked like my thoughts when you dive in
You're thunder filled with sexual tragedy
The weatherman says, almost certain
... Grab a raincoat...
We're trying something new.
Live music has been around in Second Life since the early 2000s, but since then overall the live music experience hasn't changed much - someone works hard to secure land and builds a venue, hires a musician, schedules an event - and for an hour they both hope they can capture the time and attention of listeners.
Our virtual world affords us a chance to get to know each other via chat during the live session, but beyond that it's usually time and connections metered by the hour.
We'd like to give friends, fans, and our fellow musicians just a little more time and space to connect both personally and musically. That's why we're opening auralism.
Every other Sunday, auralism will host a featured artist. Together we'll have a live, hosted conversation to learn a little more about the artist: their music, muses and motivations. A special live session will follow, and then for two weeks, that artist will be featured at the auralism venue in world, and on our site.
Our hope is that through this small change musicians and fans will get to know each other a little more, and deepen their shared appreciation of each other, the music, and this special community we share.
We hope you will join us for our opening event with featured artist Skye Galaxy on Sunday, March 17th at 11am.
In music,
Grace McDunnough and Rara Destiny

Also called Ochre-rumped Bunting. Decidedly scarce in South Korea in Winter, we were indebted to Nial's extraordinary aural abilities for finding this subtly smart Bunting....
Join us as we relax, unwind, and vibe to the sensual sounds of Aural Fixation: DJ Zarabella Ming's weekly Sunday set. Come play as you are - we'll save you a spot on the dance floor.
The other area where we are recording sounds is Sanaullah Compound, closer to Mahim railway station, where many kinds of recycling units are stacked against each other. Here, the shredding of plastic, the burning of aluminium furnaces and the sacks of scrap being thrown down from trucks are frequently heard. The screeching sounds from rusty shredding machines make one wonder how the labourers can work without the use of earplugs. For these labourers, most of whom are migrants, Sanaullah is work and home. A little shack of a restaurant, paan kiosks, barbers, an ironing man, chai stalls and various other essentials of daily living function side by side. Against this background, the aural predominance is of men talking business (or gossiping) over phones or with each other. Understandably, they don’t want their conversations recorded.
Walking around trying to be inconspicuous with a recorder in our hands, we realised that some sounds are bound to perish with time and modern lifestyles, such as the sounds of game machines in a very 90s video parlour or the bell of a kulfi seller. Collecting these sounds could be a way of creating an aural museum and complementing visual archives of Dharavi.
Join us at the stone court where the Queen of the Roses reigns supreme - playing sounds that will seduce you and your senses DJ Zarabella Ming is live for Aural Fixation from 4 to 6 at The Ishtar.

I like that Stellantis even has a Dodge sedan/coupé-like vehicle available on the market. I also like its appearance. And it’s a 2-door design.
It’s rather impressive that the current Dodge Charger can be had in a version with 670 hp that can attain 60 mph within 3.3 seconds and has a standing start quarter mile ET of 11-1/2 seconds.
Reading about the features though, I find it somewhat comical that the electric vehicles are supplemented by “Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust” that creates an aural sensation similar to that of an internal combustion engine and “Force Generators” that artificially create a tactile ‘rumble’ felt through the steering wheel and seats. Really? Why?
It’s similar in appeal to this:
ZackHerrmann's shows are always a remarkable surround experience of visual and aural vibrance. His newest exhibit, entitled 'Linda Cluster: Entomology,' opened today at The Hannington Arts Foundation.
Zack's art pieces range from surreal, abstract, and representational insect projects to a 60 meter high wall simply dripping with stunning paintings, vivacious colours and ever expanding particles. Zack wove a mesmerizing blend of music and sound effects at the opening: Bulgarian choral music fused with drummy beats, orthodox chants with atonal orchestrations, and he even slid in one of his custom Bjork remixes.
Please visit this month to experience Entomology. Upon arrival at the Hannington Arts Foundation landing zone you'll have the ability to teleport to any of the six locations which feature new exhibits from individual artists.

One of the earlier shots from my first night time outing with the D800. I have tweaked it a bit here and there, the source of that colour is sodium street lighting. I have increased the sharpness, contrast and maybe the colour.
Since I had the D800, it seems that the photographs are more sensitive to any increases in contrast during processing, certainly compared with shots taken with the D300. I wondered if anyone else has had any similar experience?

Excerpt from wellingtoncityheritage.org.nz:
Albatross has high artistic value. The sculpture is bold in form and materials; its organic shapes echo the hills of Wellington and its use of water blurs the line between the city and the harbour.
Albatross’s maker, Tanya Ashken, is an acclaimed and accomplished New Zealand sculptor. It was Ashken’s’ strong desire to provide Wellington with a public sculpture that. Albatross also has a strong association with the Wellington Sculpture Trust, which was formed from the prolonged process from which Albatross was born. Albatross was a rallying cry for public sculpture advocates and it was a catalyst for the relatively prolific public sculpture scene in Wellington.
Albatross has considerable cultural value to Wellington. It is a significant piece of public art, artistically and socially. It also remains a highly valued sculpture for the Wellington Sculpture Trust.
Albatross is comprised of three large, white, abstract ferro-cement shapes arranged in a raised circular fountain. Water cascades from all three shapes, giving the sculpture significant kinetic and aural qualities.
In Albatross, Wellington curator Aaron Lister sees an artistic connection between the sculpture and the Wellington Sculpture Trust, writing that ‘its abstracted forms, which harness natural rhythms and energies, embody the Trust’s early ideals and objectives’ in a statement of ‘cultural and spiritual values in the face of the city’s redevelopment’. Lister also believes Albatross tries and succeeds at interacting with Wellington’s natural landscape :
Its gleaming white surfaces reflect the light and colours of its harbour-side setting, while its organic shapes echo the hill forms of this evocative natural environment. Ashken’s use of water as both a malleable sculptural form and a symbolic force serves to bring the power of the harbour closer to the heart of the city.
At Friday 12 PM SLT, I will be reading questionable literature on voice at Sanctum.
Of course this needs testing, and a rather comfy chair to sit on.

Number 3 and the final of a series of Guitar Midi ad manipulations done in 2000 on an original "bubble" iMac in Photoshop 6.
I took these images ( 3 of them used for this composition ) and further manipulated some and collaged them into this present form. Blowing old files up to current size grains them out but I love the look of that.
The repeated modulations of the same images across the frame is a kind of visual "synaesthesia" of musical notes spanning either the aural picture of a piece of music or acting as visual stand-ins for notation. Playing with the visual in the service of music.

Music Link 1. ) "Four Sticks" - Led Zeppelin, from their fourth album, sometimes known as "Zoso" or "Zofo". While "Four Sticks" is one of Zeppelin's more obscure, lesser known pieces it is nevertheless one of their very best. A phenomenal arrangement of multiple layers of electric and acoustic 6 and 12-string guitars with a killer riff that defines guitarist Jimmy Page's extraordinary, almost visionary approach to the instrument. Idolized and worshipped as a player, what really make Page a phenomenon was his impeccable musicality. He could write powerful, unforgettable music with brilliantly new ideas and a strength and power that was wild but beautifullly crafted and tastefully arranged.
Page had an enormous, prodigious talent for creating guitar lines that have pretty much defined what rock guitar phrasing is all about. His ability to write a 'hook' that held you fast and really took you somewhere both darkly Dionysian and brilliantly Apollonian was what made the band the legend that it was. Robert Plant's vocals here are so obscure and muddied that the lyrics he's singing are purely incidental. What he's really doing is turning the vocal line into another instrument to solo over top of Page's chugging, meaty guitar parts. It works brilliantly. "Four Sticks" ...

Music Link 2.) "Third Stone from the Sun" - Jimi Hendrix, originally from his album, "Are You Experienced ?" ( 1967 ). What can one say about Jimi Hendrix that hasn't been said ad infinitum ? He played a Fender Stratocaster ( depicted in my image ) and made it's distinctive sound almost synonymous with himself. "Third Stone" was never one of Hendrix's more famous songs like "Purple Haze", "Foxy Lady" or "Voodoo Child". It's almost entirely instrumental with only spoken voice parts to add to its monumental psychedelic sound. Pay attention, as well, to Mitch Mitchell's incredibly deft and very musical drumming !! After "Wind Cries Mary", it's my favourite Hendrix piece.
Unfortunately the Hendrix family estate is extraordinarily strict on allowing YouTube releases of his work. Instead I got this link to the original piece through its posting as an item on the soundtrack of a movie of questionable value. Who cares though ? I got it !!! "Third Stone from the Sun" in all it's original glory ...

Still the most dramatic event we have been lucky to see and photograph. The wildebeest migration crossing the swollen Mara River in Maasai Mara.
For the human spectator, it's a breathtaking and utterly unforgettable experience. It is visually three-dimensional, aurally magnificent, infused with an infectious aura of chaos and confusion, and tangibly charged with adrenalin.
I wish I was a believer
I'd spend less time maybe
In being sad
So many laws against disbelieving
I don't know who's good or who's bad

Walt Disney Concert Hall
The Walt Disney Concert Hall is located on the south end of the Music Center Campus. The Concert Hall is bordered by Hope Street (West), Grand Avenue (West), First Street (North) and Second Street (South).
Designed by architect Frank Gehry, the Walt Disney Concert Hall is designed to be one of the most acoustically sophisticated concert halls in the world, providing both visual and aural intimacy for an unparalleled musical experience. The auditorium, designed to look and feel like a ship's hull, features 2,265 audience seats which surround the orchestra, as well as natural lighting. The Walt Disney Concert Hall is wheelchair accessible and provides Phonic Ear sound system headsets for the hard of hearing.
The Walt Disney Concert Hall encompasses two outdoor amphitheaters, including the William M. Keck Children's Amphitheatre (seating 300) and a second performing space (120), as well as BP Hall, a space for pre-concert events. Part of the Walt Disney Hall complex, the Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater (REDCAT), is a 250-seat multi-use theater and a 3,000-square-foot art gallery operated and programmed by California Institute of the Arts.
From the stainless steel curves of its striking exterior to the state-of-the-art acoustics of the hardwood-paneled main auditorium, the 3.6-acre complex embodies the unique energy and creative spirit of the city of Los Angeles and the Resident Companies that call the Concert Hall home.

(Explore in/out, 5/5/2013) (all square remix - fiddling in CS6) Impressions of Kyoto's bamboo forest - Fat Burns+Lucy collaboration.
The Sagano Bamboo Forest is one of Japan’s national treasures. It is about a half-hour out of the ancient capital of Kyoto and covers a total area of about 15 square kilometres. It is spectacularly beautiful – not just visually, but aurally as well. The sound of culms knocking together and the wind sighing through the upper branches is an extraordinary sensory experience, as is the filtered, moving light and shade.
Bamboo is still used extensively in Japan in art, building, furniture, paper making and textiles. Historically, there would have been many similar forests as, in common with most Asian countries, the Japanese have a reverence for bamboo and all it provides to the community. Unfortunately, population and farming pressures throughout Asia have resulted in a significant decline in bamboo forests in the past 30 years.
The genera here is Phyllostachys edulis, better known as Moso. It is a running variety that originated in China. The shoots are highly prized as a food and the long straight culms are up to 25 metres in length, making them excellent for building.
While Moso is not suitable for most gardens, there are many totally non-invasive clumping bamboos that well bring exceptional beauty to your home. There are even temperate varieties capable of withstanding temperatures as low as -20F. (Source: www.theownerbuildernetwork.com.au believe it or not)

the first morning at Cave Creek Canyon near Portal, AZ - waking to the sounds of multiple birds and the creek. pure aural delight.
It is Friday. It is a gorgeous day. Let's play some music and have a great weekend! :)

I have lived in the area seven years and I'm ashamed to say I have never hiked the West Fork of Oak Creek near Sedona because the (overpriced) parking lot was always full. First in the lot at the trailhead today, I paced the sunlight up the canyon with only 7 other hikers in the first two hours. It's an overwhelming visual and aural experience - if you beat the crowds.
On the way back, I caught this young man - alone on this overhang, alone in his thoughts - like I often find myself.

Great gray owls are high on every wildlife photographer's list of subjects. I've seen and photographed them a couple of times in Yellowstone and the Tetons, but they're not easy to find, in spite of their large size. Fortunately for owl-lovers, great grays are crepuscular hunters, meaning they seek prey not only at night, but also in the morning and the evening.
On this evening in Yellowstone we were making our way back to our cabin and came across a small crowd along the roadside at the turnoff to Fishing Bridge/East Entrance road. I was anticipating a bear, since both black and grizzly bears love that area. Even better - because it's rarer - it turned out to be this lovely great gray owl. They often perch relatively low and sit quietly even in the presence of paparazzi (although in this instance the onlookers were very respectful of its physical and aural space). When they do that, the owls are in fact listening intently to the sound their prey - usually small rodents - make as they move through the grass below.
Harold boarded with us fairly often while his owners traveled around the world. I took this picture of him almost two years ago and emailed to his parents. His dad told me yesterday that they had been sitting in a cafe in Cambodia, missing Harold, when they received his picture along with an update.
There was something a little "off" about Harold and he was extremely cranky. I was about his only fan, but we got along very well. I think that was because I always let him have his way so he never tried to bite me . When I opened his cage door to clean it and give him fresh food, I let him jump out to walk around the boarding room. He would wrap himself around my legs and arch his back to be patted. When it was time to get him back in his cage, I'd put a treat on his towel and he'd jump right in. He got lots of outings and I never got attacked.
Harold was euthanized yesterday but his family loved him and knew when it was the right time to say goodbye. I will miss him - he was one of a kind - but I have lots of pictures and memories of my funny friend.
So news. I opened an exhibit called "Aural" as a collaboration with Morlita Quan a sound artist for Feint and Bone art sim. Essentially Morlita created a layered sound which was broken down into parts that added up to that final sound. I was then given these sounds and would contemplate how they made me feel in order to express them. The idea being to create a space where the sound element was not overpowered by the visual one. I wanted to create it so that the sounds of Morlita were more the focal point that the visual aspect that I created and hopefully it worked. Below you can see the machinima and decide for yourself if I did justice to the wonderful sounds of Morlita.

This machinima for Aural is also now part of a group exhibit called Parallel Worlds being shown in Portugal. Opening on the 24th, at 4 pm, at Casa Municipal da Cultura de Estarreja, Portugal. As part of the 2021 Avanca International Film Festival. Aural is open in the virtual space of Second Life until August 1st. It is a group exhibit showing some of the talented artists who work in virtual spaces.

Psst what is machinima?
It is the use of real-time computer graphics engines to create a cinematic production. Most often, video games are used to generate the computer animation. So for example in the machinima I make for my youtube channel I will create all the models in Zbrush, write the story and compose the environment then film the desktop, later editing the recordings in software. While it does not allow for the same freedom of the virtual space which I create, it does compliment it and allow for an ephemeral space to be remembered.
Heading back to the main road after my first day at Cumbre Pass and this sneaks up on me. A quiet unloaded copper train that has evaded my aural radar with the sea fog rolling in at the end of another day.

"Thou Moon! Sun of the Night,
Sister mystic of the Day;
Look down, pause in thy flight!
Calm me with thy aural ray,
Enchanting souls to silver sleep.
Look down from out thy airy keep,
My fevered senses hypnotize;
Shut out the World, whereto Mind flies--
Ambitious Mind, with travail sore;
Its fibre rest, its calm restore."

This is a collaberation with the lovely Kiara Rose!! I was so happy to create based off a theme which is so close to my heart and with a photographer who is beautiful and holds so much talent!
Check out Kiara's amazing image of the moon. It is seriously one of my favorite pieces I have seen lately. YOU ARE AMAZING KIARA!!
I took the moon and sky images on the same day I took this! So it made it even more real. :)
It is dangerous to be aurally disconnected from your surroundings. It endangers people in the same way as using mobile devices while driving.
Causeway Bay, Hong Kong (Saturday 3 Nov 2018)
Feels like awhile since I last uploaded a picture of a supercar, so here we go. Stunning in black-on-black configuration.
I honestly think that the 430 Scuderia is more visually pleasing than the 458 Italia. Heck; sounds better, too.
An April sunset at Kilve, Somerset. I was hoping the ash from the Icelandic volcanic eruption would produce a really spectacular sunset. Unfortunately it was not up to what I wanted and I got my tide/sunset times slightly wrong for the shot I really wanted. Great location and I really do love this place. It was a warm evening and not a breath of wind. The peace was magical and with the very gentle lapping of a flat calm sea and the sound of the 'fizz' of the Bladder-rack' seaweed filling with water as the tide advanced the only aural distractions. I spent a whole hour enjoying the peace/sunset/warm evening, before I even thought about getting the camera out. Once the sun had disappeared below the horizon though, the temperature plummeted. When I left at 21.20hrs, mist was forming and the ash or moisture in the air (not sure which) was falling like snow in the beam of my head torch. Very weird but very tranquil and beautiful.

Everything is fine. He said I don’t have to meet with him anymore unless I want to. He said I should just see my cardiologist as before.
