Dat de markt van elektrisch rijden continu in ontwikkeling is, kun je nogal een understatement noemen. Zo wil Hyundai dit jaar -in samenwerking met haar Chinese partner Haomo- een AI-gedreven EV uitbrengen die speciaal toegewijd is voor de Chinese markt. Qua ambities legt de autofabrikant de lat sowieso hoog, want het is ook bezig met de ontwikkeling van een eigen solid-state batterij. Manager public relations Anne Lobbes vertelde aan presentator Robert van den Ham wat de laatste EV-ontwikkelingen zijn voor het Zuid-Koreaanse automerk, onder andere met een showcase van de Kona Electric Business Edition. 

Het Chinese NIO is wereldwijd al een belangrijke speler op het gebied van elektrische mobiliteit en zet met het model Firefly een gedurfde volgende stap. Qua uiterlijk doet de auto denken aan de kekke Honda E, maar desondanks is deze nieuwe 'urban' EV volstrekt van zichzelf. Te gast is Tristan Hamelink, general manager van NIO Nederland.

Co-host deze week was Willemijne de Wit, marketing- en salesdirector bij Athlon.

Firefly

Little torch-bearer, alone with me in the night,
You cannot light the sea, nor I illumine life.
They are too vast for us, they are too deep for us.
We glow with all our strength, but back the shadows sweep:
And after a while will come—unshadowed Sleep.
Here on the rocks that take the turning tide;
Here by the wide lone waves and lonelier wastes of sky,

Firefly,

Firefly

Firefly Firefly Firefly

Firefly

We keep our poet-watch, as patient poets should,
Questioning earth's commingled ill and good to us.
Yet little of them, or naught, have truly understood.
Bright are the stars, and constellated thick.
To you, so quick to flit along your flickering course,
They seem perhaps as glowing mates in other fields.

And all the knowledge I have gathered yields to me
Scarce more of the great mystery their wonder wields.
For the moon we are waiting—and behold
Her ardent gold drifts up, her sail has caught the breeze
That blows all being thro the Universe always.
So now, little light-keeper, you no more need nurse
Your gleam, for lo! she mounts, and sullen clouds disperse.

[chorus]
Firefly,

Firefly

Firefly Firefly Firefly

Firefly

[bridge]

And I with aching thought may cease to burn,
And humbly turn to rest—knowing no glow of mine
Can ever be so beauteous as have been to me
Your soft beams here beside the sea's elusive din:
For grief too oft has kindled me, and pain, and the world's sin

Firefly,

Firefly

My friend recorded me sining the first couple seconds to a firefly and the song caught on to us so I decided to make an extended version that is a duet between me and the firefly- listen closely!

Totems of Pangea- Nightshade @ Firefly 2025 (DNB Mix)

Songs based on chronicled poems of Ankit Choudhury, author of A Ballad of Chaos. These are songs based on stages of life, self-introspection, and the eternal dance between love and loss, duty and desire, hope and despair. Each verse is a reflection of moments lived, battles fought within, and the rebirth that follows every fall.

FIREFLY/STARLING Project Proposal: One of the species of music I do is algorithmic composition.

The intention is to side-step traditional metric notation altogether, and generate electronic sounds directly from their mathematical description.

TWO projects I’m working on involve the movement of sounds in objective or real space. Inspired by the Varèse, Xenakis, and Le Corbusier 1958 World's Fair Philips Pavilion—we did a reconstruction of this with the ASKO SCHOENBERG Ensemble years ago—I am hoping to implement a grid of a 40-voice sound source distributed over 400 light/speakers.

The simplest and most flexible way to do this would be an APP that audience members could download in situ that flashes colored lights on and off, while at the same time playing pitched percussive sound. This means that there are three versions of a piece: light only, lights + sound, and sound only. All versions could be performed in- or out-of-doors.

The first two pieces I’d like to realize both use simple swarm algorithms abstracted from Nature: (1) FIREFLY (2) STARLING.

FIREFLY: The primary parameter is how the 40 relatively autonomous voices—simple percussive, say, woodblock sounds—move in and out of synchronicity using complex, non-periodic rhythms. Secondary parameters are random spatial and random pitch distribution (a simple 4 octave C2 to C6 1/4-tone field). Other variables are total duration and max/min temporal density limits. 

STARLING: Here, there are two equal primary parameters, with an one octave ‘swarm’ of 1/4-tone pitches at high to low density over a six octave field—always maintaining coherence with the same simple percussive woodblock sound with clear spatial transients—that ‘flies’ around in pitch space. 

WORK PLAN: Start simple with laptop models: scale down to 4 voices in monophonic rendering; then, stepwise, scale up to 40 voices. Once optimal temporal and pitch densities are worked out, scale to spatial distribution adding a dynamic / amplitude 7-step scale ppp=far away // fff=very near, as well as stereo headphones output; from there, scale up to the next level with simple single-purpose smartphone wi-fi/cellular APP.

That’s it. Each piece would last about 10 minutes. They wouldn’t be written down, but generated anew each time.

If you’d like take part the FIREFLY/STARLING Project (pro bono) in any way—whether as coder, mathematician, AI specialist, or APP designer— or offer support in any way, you can email me at cliff@picture-poems.com

FIREFLY / STARLING Project Proposal:—Algorithmic  ‘SWARM’ spatial composition played LIVE!

A standout cut from the Ballroom Records catalogue, Firefly by Kostas Maskalides is now featured in TEN: The Archive Series, Pt. 5 — a chapter celebrating the more melodic and house-driven side of our sound.

Defined by warm grooves and emotive atmospheres, the track highlights the refined, melo side of Ballroom’s Melodic House & Techno identity.

Enjoy listening!!!

Nightshade emerged from the questionable liquids of the pre-social media NYC dance scene. Since then, she’s played everything from grimy warehouse basements to renegade forest raves to massive festivals, like Warped Tour, Burning Man, Love Parade, Firefly, Candyball, Whistle, Elements, Therapy, and Transformus, among other gloriously unhinged dancefloors.

Her guest mixes have been featured on DNB Radio, Kind Radio, Bass Movement, State of the Art, Newy Bass Crew Series (AUS), and Radio Ninja. Some of them even on purpose.

Unapologetically eclectic, her sets are a magnetic blend of sounds: deep drum & bass meets melodic instrumentals, woven together with heavy basslines, captivating vocals, and liquid grooves. 

Nightshade doesn’t color outside the lines, she just finds weirder crayons. Expect reckless dancefloor DNB or a plot twist with a sly grin. She's dropped opera at outlaws, reworked showtunes at raves, shamelessly blended metal remixes with pop, and continues to operate under the delusion that techstep and tribal trap could be friends. From anthemic rollers to deep cut oddities, her selections always land exactly where they should.

Officially Boston-based, unofficially wherever the sub-woofer calls. Still underground. Still unpredictable. Still ruining shoes in the best way possible.

A migrant, activist, curator, selector and deejay who navigates life, death, joy, and sorrow through writing, singing, performing, producing, and mixing sound and rhythm.

They believe in the h(e)aven and power of music as a transformative, borderless, cross- and inter-genre force. 

With all respect, they approach to mixing is guided by harmony, intention, intuition, and most importantly desire.

‘…after all rhythm and sound together are constructive, connective, instinctive, and of course unpredictable as myself-being’

Well known for their genre-fluid DJ sets which, in their words, “welcome everyone to dance together.” In 2023, they were invited to London to perform in the Barbican’s Pit Theatre for Transpose BURN: Pit Party. Since October 2024, they are based in London and trying to stand still.
