                      yes i agree, but at every stage of the money game everyone is being dragged into the gutter at every juncture. its interesting though that this is the first time i’ve seen a politician speak about the fundamental flaw which is the way money is created and the central bank monopoly . normally politicians will be looking to causalities rather than source of problem. it was almost like this guy hadn’t read the script, albeit he was saying it on a fringe non-manistream channel.

                          i found the site cos i was going bonkers and was searching to find info on a new drug. instead i found friends awwww :love: lol… and i also got the info and the drug… and then had some er interesting conversations whilst really high. the site was a gateway to many things and my life has had such a knock on effect that i’d probably have been a much different person by now had i not found it 2 years ago, and surely wouldn’t have met my fiancee :weee:

                          merry xmas :p

                            my right hand and i have been going strong for most of my life now and was my first love. we’ve never fallen out. its almost like we were made for each other. sometimes i cheat and go with my left, but right never gets jealous; understands that variety is the spice of life. we may as well be inseparable 🙂

                              in it weird how in school, kids songs we’re surprisingly liberal with the word ‘gay,’ and at that time you might have thought it was a word like any other; just a more fun way of saying ‘happy.’ what about that gay robin that went ‘bob bob bobbing.’ is that really the sort of subject matter a 5 year old should have to deal with ?

                                As for crickets, they generate their noises mechanically (very similar to how tone generators on the old automatic telephone exchanges once did). This creates a signal rich in harmonics, so it would not be unusual for natural scientists to record them and slow them down to work out what the higher frequencies are.

                                for anyone that gives a fuck, not that either outcome will affect my departure through my bedroom window shortly (jk), but partials and harmonics are the same thing, just one from a musical, the other from a technical perspective, hence ‘harmonic series.’

                                so to conclude this chapter in the quest for truth, i’ve set up a mic and some recording gear. what i’ll do is hit record and hopefully (as this isn’t the kind of experiment you can do twice) when i hit the ground, some partials will be recorded, and when slowed down hopefully some beautiful sounds will be heard, although someone will need to come round and collect the data

                                  well tbf, i probably wouldn’t bother to read all that. fortunately i already know what it says since my memory chip was updated, feel like i have a past again… which i know there’s no past and yesterday i was actually a czech guy on the outskirts of prague. I know this cos they arrived late and i was semi conscious during the switchover. they’re so lackadaisical. i think they still think i don’t notice. a bit like the government

                                      well just to try and revitalise some hysteria without actually making the effort to import the clip etc, but using some musical knowledge…; there is something called ‘the harmonic series’ that are a set of maths ratios. when there is a vibration, say for example a string vibrates; at first the whole string will vibrate, then it will split in the middle and both sides will vibrate, then into 3, into 4, into 5 into infinity or until vibration ceases. represented as ratios these are 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 1/5 etc. if the vibration is audible, you hear a incredibly fast sequence of sounds. they happen so fast that it is impossible to hear them as separate in real time. it begins with the initial vibration which in music is called a ‘fundamental.’ so as we’re in music land, think of an instrument where the vibration is visible such as a stringed instrument. when it is plucked or bowed (or toothed; or whatever; fuck you [s.p]) the fundamental can be heard; more commonly known as a ‘note.’ as the note decays, each ratio can be heard. in music land they are called ‘partials.’ each partial has a pitch. the first is an octave above the fundamental (e.g. C2-C3), the following partial is exactly half an octave above the previous partial (C3-G3), then a fifth again (G3-D3), and so on into infinity or cease in vibration. each partial is weaker than the last so commonly the human ear will only hear the first few. the amount of partials heard and their relative amplitude (volume) make up whats called an instrument’s (or non-instrument) ‘resonance.’ bowed orchestral instruments are considered to be highly resonant as many partials can be heard with each fundamental. anyway wtf am i babbling about at 6.40am ?… oh yeh fucking crickets wtf… (apologies, a censored edition can be made available if requested when im not coming off a series of drugs… anyhow crickets, yes… no hang on; cello first yes (sorry im suddenly losing the will to live)… so all musical instruments conform to the principles of the harmonic series as it is physics, and as most things with regard to physics they tend to conform. and actually just to be a smart arse, the whole of history of western music can be understood as a gradual discourse through the harmonic series and can be understood as the development of ‘harmony;’ beginning with hildegard von bingen (gregorian chant) whose harmonies were in octaves only (cos she was a bit scared to use a 5th as a harmony note in case it invoked the wrath of god, who might punish instrumentalists by exploding one of their self combusting instruments) and then through large passages of time more notes from the harmonic series were introduced as what we call ‘consonances’ and this went on slowly expanding the series to whenever we stopped giving a fuck about classical music, (roughly around the time the germans started trying to kill everyone, and everyone went ‘you know what, fuck the germans and their discourse up through the harmonic series unto the gods’ i’m gona do something different, such as atonal, series counterpoint etc, which didn’t really work because the harmonic series is based on physics and so any departure from that was always gona be audibly less stable and regarded as artsy fartsy noise up until boulez who arguably put classical music in its grave by making it inaccessible to everyone except from a very small minority who enjoyed listening to dissonant chaos (the latter end of the harmonic series with some twists), and then came elvis and well game over. so err yeh crickets: every organic sound has what in music land is called a complex tone, meaning the harmonic series is formed. every single sound you make, the harmonic series is occuring; its just that western musical intruments isolate specific fundamentals and are designed to be highly resonant where as me button bashing at 6.50 is not, so i cant hear them, but they are there, just like the mega beetles that circulate the earth so high no one has found them yet… anyhow im not saying the slowed down track are crickets, but if you consider that every every organic sound (as in, not synthesised) will will produce a complex tone (a series of sound partials). im no going to say why cos i cant find my benzos and i’ve got no idea why im writing all this really, but what in the track you can hear are ‘major triads’ that could be formed by the lower partials of the harmonic series, and if slowed down enough one strike, pluck, scrape, if its a relatively clean tone, you would hear the harmonic series… which brings me thankfully, conclusively back to the cello. if anyone knows the tuning of a cello, each string is an interval of a 5th when played in open position (the whole string [and so is also the harmonic series]). can you imagine (youtube) the sound of a cello being tuned? sound similar to the fawkin crickets does it (in terms of the pitching) ? now where the fuck are my benzos, i’ve got a massive headache after that. i could have just imported the sound, sped it up and plastered it here, would have been quicker :rolleyes:

                                        hi andrey, welcome :wave:

                                        i dont know it, if i did i wouldn’t remember it cos to me it just sounds like yet another mediocre trance/hard trance track. also the sound is very dated, sounds like 1999-2002 trance era, which there’s nothing wrong with, but its not exactly cutting edge… anyhow here’s a hard trance track that in my opinion is worth remembering from that era… beat drops at 1.40

                                        hope you enjoy your stay (if it is more than one post >.> )

                                                wow i really enjoyed that, thanks. this is much more the music i personally listen to than you’re other tracks i’ve heard. (neither video worked for me but i found the 1st one on your page). for me, it sounds like a more sophisticated sound, but maybe this is just a matter of taste. this one seems to flow more naturally also. i like how no sound tries to dominate, more its a gentle balance. also i like gentle interesting melodic sounds over harsher beats. it quite reminds me of jon hopkins sound on ‘insides.’ maybe from a dance perspective it it reminds be a bit of craig richards, but not in the melodic sounds.

                                                if it was made with my taste (not necessarily a good thing), i’d move it slightly away from the minimal electro vibe and more breakbeat/idm. for me, the beat going for 3 minutes with no break and only small variations (im not saying thats a bad thing) makes it sound like minimal dance music, but i think it could be have a wider scope and be a bit more artistic if there were more breaks and fills and moments where the beat breaks and the melodic parts do something in the space.

                                                i’d be interested to know how you came about combining your soft sounds and beat ? … especially as they are in different phase/time signature; something else that excited me when listening.

                                                listening again now, its a really good overall sound. what kinda techniques or samples do you use to make your beats ? the beat reminds me a little of aphex twin, maybe on ’26 remixes for cash.’

                                                here’s a track yours made me think of; more for the layering… its a track that if anyone asks for a track, this is the first i’ll share… and a lot of the time i’ll just force it on ppl anyway, like now lol

                                                so yeh, i’d say stick with this direction 🙂
