Into the Night

Into the Night (One Synth Challenge: ModulAir)

The Evening Sun Op 3 No. 2 (staffpad)

A lovely song about the end of the human race in a Victorian alternate history, with lots of lovely subtext about the destruction of the planet and human hubris.

Enjoy!

Anarchists on Mars

It's hard to be a rebel in this enclosed place.
Oxygen is rationed by the government and we can't live without it.
Security takes precedence over our individual rights.
There are no politicians here, not even the gods.

The trouble of Anarchists on Mars.
There's no state here to begin with.

What kind of protest is possible at the end of the universe?
The corridors on this base are too narrow for the demonstrators.
We have nowhere to run away and nowhere to hide.
The only way I can leave this place is if I'm dead.

All we have on this planet are underground resources and dust.
We're not living in good old the Wild West.

Artificial water and synthetic foods. There's nothing natural here.
We live a scientific life and sleep industrially.
Minimum human rights are guaranteed here. I'm never being persecuted.
But I don't trust the system. Cuz perfect justice is nowhere.

The trouble of Anarchists on Mars.
There's no state here to begin with.

This recording needs some explanation: 
It is made to compare two systems 1/ a stereo binaural system with two omnis, like SASS or likewise and 2/ a system with two cardioids sitting as close as possible to one another, facing 90 degrees left and right, so called ”X-Y” stereo.
The track is continous, that is 5s taken from the binaural track, then the following 5s from the XY track, then the following 5s from the binaural track and so forth.  The two recorings were made simultaniously.
One can hear that the omnis don´t have exactly the same ”tone” as the cardioids, but it´s more interesting to hear the difference because of the distance between the omnis compared to the distance between the cardiois. As the omnis are about 150mm apart from one another they will pick up a phase stereo, while the cardioids will not, as they are too close too ane another. 
Thereby, the cardioids will ”place” the  traffic noise in the middle of the stereo picture where it becomes more (psyco acoustically) audible. 
I certainly find the sound from the omni rig much more pleasant than from the XY. In the same time I am aware of that ”all” professional people would classify the XY as more ”correct”. 
This, I think, goes back to a very old dogm. Fifty years ago, the broadcasting companies, BBC in particular, had problems with the coming stereo television sets: How can we (BBC) produce a stereo  sound that sounds good also in the mono set up´s? The best answer was M/S stereo, where the M (mid) came out nicely also in the mono TV loudspeakers. The next best was XY stereo, with the cardioid capsules so close to one another that the phase differences could be neglected. That was fifty years ago, but ”you can´t use binaural systems professionally” still lives on.
A fact is that XY stereo produces a better amplitude stereo when loudspeakers are used, which everyone with nearfield monitors will hear. It is also clearly visible if you open the track with Audacity for example. But it is a ”better sound” compared to the omnis?

Joseph's Song - Michael Card ( How could it be) Piano cover by Pradeep Fernando

Fr. Bryan gave this homily on the feast of St. Joseph at St. Thomas Chaldean Catholic Church in West Bloomfield, Michigan.  He preached about St. Joseph's title, "Mirror of Patience" and how he can help us be patient in our lives.
