This morning's been a fantastic fusion of punk rock and orchestra . It's as if my late-teen years had found a way to coalesce with my adulthood.
Playing with filters. I've developed an affinity for the phasor effect. Very 311.
Desolation Sound is a deep water sound at the northern end of the Salish Sea and of the Sunshine Coast in British Columbia, Canada.
Haunted nights for halycon days
Cant sleep to the scraping of his voice
Natures way struck grief in me
And I became a ghost in sickness
Winter is practicing for her piano recital that starts in just a few hours. She is very nervous.

I bought this wrapping paper a few years ago intending to use it for a diorama. Finally got around to using it.

Met these badmen in the Pavilion Gardens one evening, pretty decent sound system on wheels powered by a caravan battery.
Emerald Isle, NC
Several days of westerlies have driven all the water from the west end of the sound, up to Morehead City.
A great man and musician passed away. His sound and vision will keep on being eternal.
One of the great pop icons, I listened to since I was about 11 years old and I have so many memories that are connected to his music. And what a great event it was to see him live performing in Rotterdam in 1983 (serious moonlight tour). His always changing appearance as a way of re-inventing himself constantly was a big inspration, as well as his creativity and his out of the box thinking.

View down Puget Sound from Richmond Beach, with some of the Olympic Mountains sneaking into the scene.
A delicate feather that lay to rest,
With the hearts of lions beating in her chest,
Sounds of silence, deafening, yet clear,
Her soul at play, waiting for someone, to come near.

An acoustic mirror is a passive device used to reflect and focus (concentrate) sound waves. Parabolic acoustic mirrors are widely used in parabolic microphones to pick up sound from great distances, employed in surveillance and reporting of outdoor sporting events. Pairs of large parabolic acoustic mirrors which function as "whisper galleries" are displayed in science museums to demonstrate sound focusing.
Between the World Wars, before the invention of radar, parabolic sound mirrors were used experimentally as early-warning devices by military air defence forces to detect incoming enemy aircraft by listening for the sound of their engines.
During World War II on the coast of southern England, a network of large concrete acoustic mirrors was in the process of being built when the project was cancelled owing to the development of the Chain Home radar system. Some of these mirrors are still standing today.
There are three acoustic mirrors in the complex, each consisting of a single concrete hemispherical reflector.
The 200 foot mirror is a near vertical, curved wall, 200 feet (60m) long. It is one of only two similar acoustic mirrors in the world, the other being in Magħtab, Malta.
200 ft Acoustic mirror at Denge
The 30 foot mirror is a circular dish, similar to a deeply curved satellite dish, 9 m (30 ft) across, supported on concrete buttresses. This mirror still retains the metal microphone pole at its centre.
The 20 foot mirror is similar to the 30 foot mirror, with a smaller, shallower dish 6 m (20 ft) across. The design is close to that of an acoustic mirror in Kilnsea, East Riding of Yorkshire.
Acoustic mirrors did work and could effectively be used to detect slow moving enemy aircraft before they came into sight. They worked by concentrating sound waves towards a central point, where a microphone would have been located. However, their use was limited as aircraft became faster. Operators also found it difficult to distinguish between aircraft and seagoing vessels. In any case, they quickly became obsolete due to the invention of radar in 1932. The experiment was abandoned, and the mirrors left to decay. The gravel extraction works caused some undermining of at least one of the structures.

The striking forms of the sound mirrors have attracted artists and photographers. British artist Tacita Dean created a film inspired by the complex. The band Turin Brakes featured the mirrors on some of their album covers. The object appeared in the music video for Blank & Jones' "A Forest".The mirrors have also been featured in the music videos for Invaders Must Die by The Prodigy & Young Kato - Something Real.
British Railways 'Deltic' Class 55 Co-Co no.55 019 ‘Royal Highland Fusilier’ roars away from Quorn & Woodhouse Station with the first train in memory of the Deltic Scotsman Farewell Railtour. The 11:15 up Loughborough-Leicester North-Loughborough train is complete with the headboards and the wreath, as per the original tour.
I well remember these magnificent machines, with their twin Napier Deltic engines sounding fantastic as they roared through Doncaster middle road in the mid sixties.
My buddy Joseph said that the thunderous noise the pair of Austrian Typhoons made was music to his ears! Great display from the Austrian Air Force.
Glorious weather for the boat trip from Portree to spot Sea Eagles and a seal colony - the scenery was stunning. {But mainly when the weather is nice!!}
The trumpet sounds for the closing of the gates of heaven at the conclusion of the Day of Atonement. I hope we have all been sealed in the Book Of Life for a great year!
I am exhausted, but so very exhilarated and keyed up that I doubt I will get much sleep tonight...
Sound - Macro Mondays
Several years ago, I lost hearing in my right ear. The hearing loss was gradual, but finally became so profound that a conventional hearing aid was useless.
My doctor and audiologist suggested that a Bone Anchored Hearing Aid system (BAHA) would be helpful in my case. This system consists of a titanium post which is implanted into the skull just above and behind the deaf ear, and a sound processor device which snaps on to the post.
The BAHA processor transmits sound via bone condition through my skull to my good ear, allowing me to hear sounds from my deaf side. The brain quickly adapts to this new way of hearing and the transmitted sound seems natural and clear!
This is a photo of my Oticon Ponto 3SP sound processor. It’s about 1.25” (32mm) long.
This one's from a visit to the Crypt in Winchester Cathedral. The sculpture (Sound ll) is by Antony Gormley, the crypt floods regularly hence the reflections. I've wanted to see this for a long time, what a fantastic place!
Thanks for your time

Sound II, a statue by Antony Gormley situated in the underground crypt of Winchester Cathedral. The statue always looks at it's best when reflected in the floodwater that seeps into the crypt during the wetter winter months.
The Vaulted crypt dates from 11th Century.

U Theatre, Taiwan’s Taoist masters tell the story of “the water of life, which nourishes our souls,” This original work by U Theatre combines extraordinary drumming, martial arts, meditation, modern theatrical training and ancient Chinese opera. Gongs, drums and temple bells trace the journey of a drop of water as it falls from the sky and joins other drops in a fast running stream that flows into the vast ocean.

听海之心
台湾优人神鼓出演
温哥华大剧院
2010.03.12
“优人“溯心，”鼓“动生命，听海之心
这是一个关于“水“的作品。
听海之心――探讨的是心中的随，生命的泉源，从小水滴汇成河流，流向大海，流进海心，再流想超越海心的“未知“。而优人神鼓的编舞者和演员们，便是尝试在未知中寻找生命的了悟。
优人神鼓（U-Theatre）创办人刘若禹1988年在台北近郊的山上成立“优剧场“，她从纽约带着波兰剧场大师果托夫斯基（Jerzy Grotowski）的理念，回到出生的土地，在最原始的自然山林中开发自我，寻找文化的源头。10年之后，优人神鼓以《听海之心》，成功站上了表演艺术的巅峰，当年在法国亚维农艺术节演出时，法国《世界报》独尊该作品为年度最好的节目。从此《听海之心》不仅成了优人神鼓的经典剧作，至今在海内外已经演出超过120场，成为台湾文化和时间哦艺术村接轨的一股不可忽视的力量。
作品共分为五个片段：《崩》、《流水》、《听海之心》、《冲岩|、《海潮音》。其中，《流水》、《听海之心》是作品的主轴，《崩》和《冲岩》是穿插于其中的对比。
整部作品的灵感来自听庙宇的“撞钟“。一波又一波的钟声像海水一样侵袭过来，整个人像洗涤一样被冲刷干净。尾声《海潮音》是整个作品的精神，利用大鼓的翻腾，大抄锣的狂啸、钵锣的沉稳，代表生生不息和死之沉寂。
