New Zealand survived a fightback from South Africa to win their Rugby Championship match 35-20 in Auckland.

The All Blacks made a strong start, with tries from Aaron Smith and Shannon Frizell helping them into a 17-0 lead.

A Faf de Klerk penalty got the Springboks off the mark and tries from Malcolm Marx and Cheslin Kolbe reduced the deficit to 23-15.

New Zealand responded with Will Jordan and Richie Mo'unga scores before a late try from South Africa's Kwagga Smith.

"It's always physical and an awesome Test match - ones you look forward to," said All Blacks captain Sam Cane, whose side beat Argentina in their opening Rugby Championship game.

"They are the reigning World Cup champions so we knew it would be a good test to see where we were at as a team.

"We're pleased to see improvement from last week. We know we've still got a way to go to get to where we want to but it was a good Test match."

Cane did not return after half-time because of injury, while De Klerk had to be replaced because of injury during the second half.

The All Blacks' blistering start was aided by a poor performance from the world champions in the opening stages, in which they made too many unforced errors, according to Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber.

"The start was not idea for us, the first 20 minutes we struggled to get into the game because of poor discipline. I think we gave away four consecutive penalties," Nienaber said.

"We made a lot of mistakes and those errors put us under pressure. The quality side that New Zealand are, they were able to capitalise and we had to play catch-up rugby for the rest of the game."

The two teams will next face each other at Twickenham on 25 August in a friendly prior to the Rugby World Cup in France.

Argentina make history against Wallabies
Juan Martin Gonzalez's last-minute try in Sydney saw Argentina snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in a thrilling 34-31 win against Australia in the later Rugby Championship game.

It meant a second consecutive win for the Pumas against the Wallabies for the first time ever.

Australia led 10-0 after Len Ikitau's opening try and Quade Cooper's penalty before Argentina scored the next 17 points.

Jeronimo de la Fuente finished off a try which followed a nine-phase build-up, and Julian Montoya smashed his way to the line as the Pumas took control.

In an end-to-end Test match, Nic White darted over to draw the Wallabies level but Mateo Carreras edged the visitors in front once more.

Samu Kerevi then hit back for Australia to set up a tense finale before the hosts thought they had clinched victory when Mark Nawaqanitawase intercepted a loose Argentinean pass to cross with five minutes remaining.

But Argentina were not finished and Gonzalez grounded the ball from a rolling maul for the bonus-point win to put more pressure on Wallabies coach Eddie Jones.

Jones has now lost both games of his second spell in charge of Australia following a thumping defeat by South Africa on his return last weekend.

The 63-year-old, who was sacked by England last year, said his side can challenge the All Blacks in their next game despite "not quite gelling" against the Pumas.

"In 10 days we can be a completely different team, and that's the aim," he said.

"We tried to play a bit freer which involved a bit more decision making, but at the moment it's not quite gelling.

"But we've got to accept there is going to be a little bit of pain.

"If you look at our squad at the moment, there are a number of guys coming back from long-term injuries, so we're not where we should be.

"But that's no excuse for today's performance.

"It's more about how can the team just be better decision makers around the ball and our ability to get off the line a bit harder.

"Again, we didn't put enough pressure on them with our defence."

A self-generating patch on semi-modular and modular and sent through a spring reverb before being recorded into Ableton. There, the 'melody' was converted to MIDI using Ableton's built-in converter. Both them melody and MIDI were then played at half-speed. The melody was forced into the Lydian mode, and played with Reason Studios' Objekt. At the same time, Objekt was being resonated by the original recording (pitch processed into Lydian), via its sidechain channel. The resultant combination was then processed with the Remants granular delay, a Valhalla Supermassive delay, and the Wavesfactory Echo Cat tape delay simulation.

My Resistance Is Not My Personality (disquiet0612)

Disquiet Junto Project 0612: Drum Vector
The Assignment: Walk the listener through variations on the same percussive instrument.

Dragged my wooden tongue drum out of the closet for this one. Recorded too many variations and had to cut a few. Basically just used different reverbs and delays to give each variation it's own space.  Also played with panning on the cross fades to make it seem like you're walking from one area to the next.  Then for a noise bed I routed everything to a new track with more reverb, resonator, effects and so on.  Automated the stereo width on that one rather randomly.

One aspect of the track I contributed last week was using multiple sounds to create varying rhythmic patterns. This week's track produces changing rhythms using a single sound with inbuilt threefold delay.

Bitter Suite In The Ozone [disquiet0616]

Given all that is going on in the world at the moment, I thought "anxiety" would be a good word to choose for the first half of the track. Of the many words conveying the same thing, I chose "botheration," mainly because I liked the sound of it, but also because it also captures the annoying aspects of our current time. So, "botheration" takes over at about the half way mark. As for process, I began with a nervous and somewhat chaotic drum sequence and then augmented that with a  few mournful strums from the Terra and then fired up my Landscape Stereofield for a bit of noise. Halfway through the drum beats give way to some darkness, again thanks to the Terra and ends with a flourish of pure noise.

Here's the text from the newspaper article - the photo is in the centre of the track image:

ANNE'S WEDDING CAKE ON DISPLAY
A SIX FEET high, three-tier cake weighing around 500lb, extra rich in fruit and rum, is on show at Wilfred House Uttoxeter, this weekend prior to being transported to London for the wedding of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips.

It has been made at the bakery of Elkes Biscuits Ltd. Uttoxeter and baker Mr G. Moore (pictured) was brought out of retirement to prepare and bake it.

Mr Moore, who also baked wedding cakes for the Queen and Princess Margaret, was with the company for more than 40 years.

HEAD OF HORSE
In keeping with the couple's mutual interest in horses, designer Mrs J. Morgan has incorporated the head of a fine horse, in low relief, as the main decoration on each side of the lower tier.

The initials A and M are also displayed in an oval frame on the second tier. Traditional symbols of good luck, including silver horseshoes, white heather, and orange blossom, are also depicted in white icing and silver motifs.

The crest of Princess Anne, and the Phillips family, together with Captain Phillips's regimental badge, add a dash of colour to the cake.

SUGAR DECORATION
The fine sugar decoration was completed by Mr S West head of the Division of Baking Technology at Ealing Technical College, assisted by Mrs P. Arnold (pictured with Mr Moore) in charge of the company's test bakery, who was also responsible for co-ordinating of the programme for the cake from manufacture to display.

After leaving Wilfred House, and prior to its transportation to the Palace, the cake will be displayed in a West End hotel.

Disquiet Junto Project 0621: The Leftovers
The Assignment: Use recently discarded material to make something new.

I startet with a folder that is in fact named "Resterampe" (German for something between "residual ramp", "junkyard" and "dollar store"; or so…) and in which I put interesting stems that I want to reuse some day.

I hammered together a Lyra 8 recording, a modular synth rhythm, some wooden and metal noise recordings. I added some freshly recorded melody and accompanying noises of a plastic bag of paper handkerchiefs.

Originally it was very minimal, but somehow it became overfreighted. I didn't change that, because it somehow fits the title.
