For this challenge, Type Set, I used the sound of a keyboard typing the first two stanza's of Edgar Allan Poe's, 'The Raven' .  The typing was performed and recorded by my close collaborator, JC Petkovich, who used a JD40 which he built and dropped into a CNC'ed aluminum case. JC also added foam between the PCB and case to dampen the noise, the switches are Aqua Zilent switches which are also very quiet. The keyboard recording was then processed using Supercollider to "tune" the key sounds using a band pass filter. In addition,  recordings of raindrops as well ravens were also similarly processed and used in the final piece. The work was assembled and mixed in Ableton Live 10 and some software instruments were added.

A rock hyrax calling from the edge of a gorge in the Masai Mara. More sounds at https://www.youtube.com/georgevlad

Rock Hyrax calling at Gorge

My body succumbs in physiological response to soundwaves’ 
Bounce through auditory canals. A vibrational sustenance
Available to all of us and possess talent to treat ailments, like spiritual drugs
Interlace connectivity, free from psychological distortions and full of love’s
Intentional transparency: from thought to idea, to much needed relief.
The flipside of perfection’s brocade is imperfections gift of the struggle necessary for resistance in an otherwise life absent of struggle would not be nearly as entertaining. Like frigid days without soundwaves bumping from house party speakers while dancing in fire hydrant relief.  Luckily our creativity’s capabilities are limitless when conjuring sustenance, and our open-hearted passions and collaborative minds love to mingle with one another

How To Be Miserable*

No One Knows
Lyrics and song by Niklas Holmgren
--------------------

Is it burning up
Is it burning down
Are you writing up or
Are you writing down

Is the glass half full
Is the glass half empty
Are you pouring up or
Are you pouring down

No one no one knows
Knows
No no no one knows
Knows

Is this funk or not
Is it funky or what
Are you turning volume up or
Are you turning volume down

No one no one knows
Knows
No no no one knows
Knows

You Got Me

2020 has been tough on many businesses, so doing marketing right has never been more important. When business owners apply marketing tactics without a strategy or goal, more times than not, they spend money and rely on luck to get results.

When your marketing tactics are underpinned by a strategy, you stop spending money and start investing in things that will give you a return of investment.

Celeste is a marketing strategist with more than 20 years of experience in marketing and communications in Australia and overseas.

She is the owner and founder of Lustosa Marketing, an agency that provides marketing strategy and implementation. 

With experience in storytelling, social media, advertising, web, branding and public relations, Celeste believes marketing done right is what sets many businesses apart.  She also believes that you don't need a big budget - you need a strategy.

Snatches of 2020 (disquiet0470)

Written by Chris de Burgh in 1975, "A Spaceman Came Travelling" topped the Irish charts a year after it was released. But it wasn't until 1986 with De Burgh's success of "The Lady in Red" that the UK took notice and it reached the top charts there, too.

The idea for the song came to de Burgh when he had just signed his first recording contract, and he read Chariots of the Gods? by Erich von Däniken. The book made him think "what if the star of Bethlehem was a space craft and what if there is a benevolent being or entity in the universe keeping an eye on the world and our foolish things that we do to each other?" The song also draws inspiration from William Butler Yeats' poem "The Second Coming," and tells a story of the birth of Christ being a recurring 2000-year event heralded by an intergalactic visitor.

  That saved a wretch; like me!
  C                                F
I once was lost, but now am

2. ’Twas grace that taught my 
F              C                Am           D
heart to fear,  And grace my fears
     G                    C
 relieved;  How precious did that 
F          C           Am             F
grace appear  The hour I first 
G  C
believed!

Through many dangers

Toils and snares
  Am       D         G
I have already come

sing God’s praise 
          Am            F     G  C
Than when we first begun.
