BBC headline: “Ukraine war: hungry Africans are victims of the conflict, Macky tells Putin” Contains this sentence: “Kyiv and its allies blame Moscow for blockading the ports, which Ukraine has mined to prevent a Russian amphibious assault” Perhaps we should be giving out awards to journalists for the most nonsensical sentences that they produce to agree with the narrative that their employers expect.  Keep up the good work from @micknolangalway

Whatever ends up collapsing the US empire is far less likely to come from Russia or China than from the US empire itself.

The video footage coming out of Sri Lanka right now has been the recurring nightmare of every ruler throughout history.

Thousands of protesters outraged by the deteriorating material conditions of the nation's economic meltdown have stormed the presidential palace of Sri Lanka's President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, and I guarantee you the aerial footage as they poured into the building en masse has made every government leader and plutocrat a little uncomfortable today.

It actually isn't an exaggeration to compare the mainstream worldview to the virtual world depicted in The Matrix. The only difference is that instead of AI keeping us imprisoned, it's psychopathic oligarchs and secretive government agencies, and instead of code, it's narrative.

i very much enjoyed the lush and gentle tones of https://soundcloud.com/equinox-deschanel (Joe McMahon)'s https://soundcloud.com/equinox-deschanel/lonely-pelican-no-more-disquiet0593 (which contains elements of https://soundcloud.com/mikey_a/the-pelican-finds-a-friend-disquiet0592 and https://soundcloud.com/rabmusiclab/the-loneliest-pelican) and thought instantly about how it would sound stretched out, more shoegazey.
i used paulstretch to create a extended noise bed, imported it into ableton, a short edit to trim the beginning and then stretched the original track to match the timing of the noise part.
then i used the warping section to fix the pitch of the stretched track to original pitch
applied lots of fx - reverb for the noise parts and echo to the original, then on the master channel some granular fx by puremagnetic to add a bit of motion and chaos
panned the noise channel hard left and the original wav hard right
tape emulation applied at the end for added texture

The deal is done, and Marc Marquez has finally spoken about why he chose to move from the factory Repsol Honda team to the family atmosphere of the Gresini Ducati squad. Neil, Adam and David analyse what Marc told the media, how the other riders responded, and more. And they discuss Pol Espargaro's mood in having to make way for Pedro Acosta.

The idea of stream recalled in the title and central in the piece has been inspired by Anselm Kiefer’s painting Alchemie consists of two canvases showing a dry desert-like landscape connected by a balance. A rainfall of salt and sunflower seeds falling down from the balance’s dishes. 
That’s a strong symbol of a possible new life re-growing from the desert landscape which is directly connected with the art of alchemy transforming lead into gold.


On the other hand streams of grains (especially salt) are traditionally associated with purification rituals of mind and spirit.
Driven by the strong symbolic meaning of this canvas and the message of hope that it conveys to me, I imagined a sound-world made of grains and streams which arise from silence and saturate space and time until leading the perception to an in-between dimension where temporal references are loosen.
