Like a comet tracing her way thru space «rinôçérôse» has a galactic halo. Once you’ve experienced the music you can’t forget it, as it’s now part of you, part of a unique cognitive experience.
At the beginning, the French duet formed in 1996 by and Patrice « Patou » Carrié (bass guitar) and Jean-Philippe Freu (guitar) used to play instrumental music: a kind of magical harmony between House and Pop with indubitable energy coming from their Rock background. Partly branded “French Touch”, the Montpellier based band had – and still has- a successful trajectory abroad. Mixing high-tech visual effects and powerful songs, they manage to convey a new kind of sensation to the audience. As if “seeing and feeling sounds” was natural, the access to «rinôçérôse»’s music seems innate.
The other particularity of the band is to always host and feature different singers on their albums. The vocalists performances are enhanced by the duet’s talent to compose music. That’s the reason why prestigious names always appear on the their records. On their new one “Futurinô” , you can hear Bnann from the rock band Infadels on the title “head like a volcano”, Mark Gardener (from Ride) on “Where you from ? » and « week-end of sin », Ninja (the super energetic and sexy leader of the GO team!) endorsing the heavy duty of posing her voice on the hit single «Time Machine», Luke Paterson (Deaf Stereo) singing “panic attack » and « the heroic sculpture of «rinôçérôse» and also two french singers : Anna Muchin (from indie rock band cobSOn) and Jessie Chaton, known for its work with Justice on « D.A.N.C.E » and for being the crazy front singer of the glam rock band Fancy.
Some might say “Music makes History” then let’s suppose that Music is not only a moment but the summary of several. That’s the way «rinôçérôse» likes to compose Music – as a fusion of many Arts and especially paintings (Art Brut), dancing (choreography), programming (computer samples), producing (studio work), digital and visual contemporary arts (Eletronic Shadow) …
They could be Andy Warhol’s sons in an arty world as they manage to create a new form of expression. “Half way between Pop Art and Pop Artists” could be the unconscious moto of the musical tandem named after an Art Brut painting from Gaston Duf.
Counting prestigious fans such as Moby, New Order, Massive Attack, LCD, The roots or Iggy Pop and the Stooges , «rinôçérôse» has played all around the world from Japan to Norway and Europe to America since the beginning of its career in 1996.
Today, the band is exploring a new conception of gigs by working with a contemporary art formation: “Electronic Shadow”. Never the last and always the first, Carrié & Freu keeps on pushing themselves and their artistic investigations further, that’s the reason why the best way to understand who really hide behind «rinôçérôse» is to see them playing live!

I've been playing with a raspberry pi. So far, set up with standard os, shh, wifi, vnc, webserver, webcam server.
Notes, external usb hub stops everything working. Luckily the webcam seems to run off the pis own usb port as does mini wifi dongle. I am running it headless and editing via ssh from the terminal and using Microsoft Remote Desktop Client for mac.
Pi Aquilae is a pretty double star about a degree northeast of the star Tarazed (Gamma Aquilae) in the constellation of the Eagle. To cleanly split this tight double it requires a stable atmosphere, high power and at least a three-inch aperture telescope. In my 2.4-inch refractor I can make out an elongation in Pi Aquilae but cannot split it. With my 6.1-inch refractor at 312x magnification (used in the drawing), the separation of 1.4 arcseconds was not difficult. I see both stars as white.

About.
The bi is a form of circular jade artefact from ancient China. The earliest bi were produced in the Neolithic period, particularly by the LiangZhu Culture (3400-2250BC).Later examples date mainly from the Shang, Zhou and Han dynasties.
A bi is a flat jade disc with a circular hole in the centre. Neolithic bi are undecorated, while those of later periods of China, like the Zhou dynasty, bear increasingly ornate surface carving (particularly in a hexagonal pattern) whose motifs represented deities associated with the sky (four directions) as well as standing for qualities and powers the wearer wanted to invoke or embody.
As laboriously crafted objects, they testify to the concentration of power and resources in the hands of a small elite.
Later traditions associate the bi with heaven, and the Cong with the earth. Bi disks are consistently found with heaven and earth-like imagery, suggesting that the disk's circular shape also bears symbolic significance as this description explains:
It is found that these objects testify to early stages of development of cosmological concepts that remained important in Chinese culture during the Warring States and Han periods: the notion of a covering sky (gaitian) that revolves around a central axis, the cycle of the Ten Suns, and the use of an early form of the carpenter's square. These objects were handled by shamans who were the religious leaders of Liangzhu society and the transmitters of cosmological knowledge
The original function and significance of the bi are unknown, as the Neolithic cultures have left no written history. From these earliest times they were buried with the dead, as a sky symbol, accompanying the dead into the after world or "sky", with the cong which connected the body with the earth.They were placed ceremonially on the body in the grave of persons of high social status. Bi are sometimes found near the stomach and chest in neolithic burials.
Jade, like bi disks, has been used throughout Chinese history to indicate an individual of moral quality, and has also served as an important symbol of rank.They were used in worship and ceremony – as ceremonial items they symbolised the ranks of emperor, king, duke, marquis, viscount, and baron with four different kweis and two different bi disks.
Happy new year! Lao New Year is a popular English name for a traditional celebration known in Laos as "Pi Mai" (in Lao language). Lao New Year is the most widely celebrated festival in Laos. Water is used for washing homes, Buddha images, monks, and soaking friends and passers-by.

Palindrome #3!
A little slice of pi. Mmmmm...
Here's an FYI: I haven't taken a single math class throughout my entire college career (thanks to the AP exam and quite possibly my major...) and I loved it. Screw you, Asian stereotypes!
And unrelated, but here's a great song I just remembered i had:

A closer view of the little breadboard. I have a push switch and an LED for simple user control in my own programs. A 5V to 9V DC-DC Converter powering the fan. The ribbon cable from the Pi is connected to the ABelectronics ADC-DAC board. The link is below.
