“Architecture in Music”

Inside musical instruments gapes an emptiness that, to the eye of photographer Charles Brooks, resembles the vast architecture of music halls and cathedrals. In his series “Architecture in Music,” Brooks takes us into these empty spaces, revealing where the resonance at the heart of the instrument’s sound lies. In a stringed instrument like a violin, the vibration of the strings makes a relatively quiet sound on its own; it’s only in making the violin’s entire hollow body vibrate that resonance amplifies the strings. Similarly, wind instruments rely on air resonating within them to produce their sound. (Image credit: C. Brooks; via Colossal)

Did ‘induced atmospheric vibration’ cause blackouts in #Europe? An #electrical engineer explains the phenomenon

#Portugal’s grid operator #REN was quoted as blaming the event on a rare phenomenon known as “induced #atmospheric #vibration”. REN has since reportedly refuted this.

But what is this vibration? And how can #energy systems be improved to mitigate the risk of widespread blackouts?

It’s all about vibration… #vibrationists #vibration #sound #music #musician #multimedia #MastoMusic #FediMusic #MastoArt #FediArt substack.com/@simonjcampbell/n

SubstackSimon Campbell on SubstackApart from remantling—surely this is the opposite of dismantling and if not, it should be—The Supertone Sonic Laboratory, our music focus is on our new side project Vibrationists with @Suzy Starlite , @Dave Boyd and myself. ___________________________ Sound vibrations are the movement of air molecules caused by vibrating objects. These vibrations travel through solids, liquids, and gases as sound waves. When the sound waves reach our ears, our brains interpret them as sound. ___________________________ One of the first steps when creating a new project is describing what we are doing for our supporters and media. We have always struggled defining our music as it varied and covers many genres. Suzy and I are songwriters and if the tracks need a solo piano or acoustic guitar, that’s what they get. Frantic arpeggiated sequences—no problem. Things that go ‘boing’ or ‘clang’—a natural addition to the soundscape. At first, Vibrationists is a live performance multimedia project where we are reimagining a selection of songs from our five studio albums in the format of a three piece with Bodhrán, percussion, drum machine, Wurlitzer electric piano, synthesizers, guitars, bass and harmony vocals. Fortunately, I only have to play guitar and occasionally synthesizer plus sing leaving all the heavy musical lifting to my very talented band mates who are able to rub their tummies and pat their heads in multiple directions and time signatures whilst whistling a tune by Soft Machine at their most abstract. We are thinking of how describe what we are up to. ////// One gig is equivalent to 20 rehearsals and on June 1st we have our debut at Prohibition, in Óbidos—the first step in readying ourselves to tour.
