Wa No Wa - s/t LP

A cult work that has been talked about by some music lovers in Japan for many years is now officially available for the first time.

Shocking, ethereal and mysterious sounds

A performance of single-note percussion instruments, “Choir Chime" by twelve users of the Yamato Kogen Taiyo-no-ie, a support facility for the disabled in Yamazoe Village, Nara Prefecture. The fresh and clear tones played randomly, note by note, eventually transformed into beautiful music as they were strung together. I wonder if there is any other music that is so pure and innocent. This work is the ultimate improvised ambient that penetrates deep into the listener's subconscious.

Erinnerung aus der #Vergangenheit:

Vor der Zeit des #Internet gab es das System mit #Mailbox die dann teilweise in Netzen wie #MausNet oder #FidoNet untereinander kommuniziert hatten. Als #Point hatte man im Regelfall ein #Pointprogramm (bei mir war das #CrossPoint | ich habe es geliebt) und holte mit einem #Modem (erst 2400er dann 9600 Baud, die ganz flotten hatten etwas mit 16k) meist einmal am Tag seine Nachrichten ab (Flatrate etc. gab es nicht)

Es gab damals schon Gruppen so das man sich ungestört zu Themenbereichen unterhalten konnte.

Es gab aber auch damals schon das Problem, das so manch #Kommunikation dann aus den Ruder lief. Irgendwann gab es dann die geniale Einrichtung einer Gruppe in der man sich frei von der Leber weg beschimpfen und beleidigen konnte. Alle Beiträge die an diese Gruppe gesendet wurden, wurden automatisch vom System anonymisiert, so das niemand wusste wer steckt denn nun wirklich hinter welcher Schimpftriade. Es gab nur eine Regel: Es gibt keine Regel.

Manchmal frage ich mich, warum gibt es das nicht im #Fediverse. Eine Gruppe in der die Leute ihre Wut abbauen können ...

5 Real Life Lessons from Crosspoint the Movie

Crosspoint a film written and directed by Japan-based Filipino artist Donie Ordiales which…

Transcript:

Hi everyone, this is Bisan from Gaza. I am still alive, and it's been a while since the last time I posted.

I was just trying to realize the new reality. You know, there's no bombing, but a lot of restrictions in the movement. No supplies, no Internet, no electricity, massive destruction we need to deal with...yeah, and a lot of things.

But I have a lot of updates, [of course] besides the, you know, the bullshit about the German guy (Donald Trump) meeting the Polish occupier (Benjamin Netanyahu) discussing on a stolen land, the Turtle Island, that Gazans must flee their land so other random rich people can sit in.

Besides all of this, the updates are:

First, the Israeli army withdrew from Netzarim checkpoint. So, actually for 15 months they have been telling the world that this is a strategic step, and they will not withdraw from Netzarim crosspoint, and that they will allow the settlers, the Israeli settlers, to enter to the settlements in Gaza Strip using this road. But Subhanallah, Subhanallah, they withdrew and the landowners got back to their lands in the north and around Netzarim checkpoint. That's the first thing.

The second thing is that, OK, OK… [Like], the world happily celebrated the ceasefire, the moments of joy while Palestinians are returning, are claiming their homes, while we're crying, happiness tears, but now it's time to point again to to the main problem.

Actually, we are still in… We're still facing the same dangerous displacement and, let me say, forcibly immigration, actually. It's not a voluntary immigration because there is no rebuilding. There's not even tents for people to survive this winter, to survive the new getting back to their…to the north, to their areas, but… in other words, displacement, because no homes to get back to.

So we're still living this. It's really hard to survive this.

So now it's time, first, to put Israel, the Israeli regime, the Israeli occupation, accountable for all of this, to put the Polish guy (Benjamin Netanyahu) discussing the fleeing, the emptying of Gaza Strip, in jail because this is his place, because he's a war criminal. This is time to rebuild Gaza. This is time to enter Gaza by foreign workers, by [foreign] journalists, by the people of Gaza who evacuated during the genocide, and now until this moment, they cannot get back to Gaza again.

So this is, yeah, this is time. [Enough]. Enough cheering, enough happiness, because what happened and what's still happening is a genocide, OK? It's not a turn off-turn on mode. No, no, no. It's a genocide. And everyone must be accountable for what they have done.

The occupation, the international organizations, the occupation, the [genocide] supporters... Even the companies that supported the genocide, supported the weapons, supported the the Israeli regime economically. So it's time.

If it's not time now, then it will not be the time to put all of these people, to hold all of them responsible. And another thing, if we didn't do it now, then everything we have done as Palestinians, and you have done as people supporting the Palestinian people, is in vain. Everything is for nothing.

We don't want to just forget what what they have done, what the Israeli army has done, what the Israeli regime, ministers, supporters, what the U.S., what everyone [who] funded the genocide has done, okay?

It's time to hold them responsible to make sure that this will not happen again, and that Gaza and Palestine will just be free and will be rebuilt.

[Let's go], let's continue.

So, some of y'all may have seen my Knox RS16x16 composite video router before in photos. It's the backbone of my home AV plant.

It has two methods of controlling it by default: the front panel keypad with LED crosspoint to view the status, and cereal serial console.

I noticed this empty socket of an uncommon size, and an extra BNC connection marked "remote video readout", but I couldn't find any specifics about it. The manual from 25+ years ago makes a vague reference to it, and how it syncs off of whatever is feeding input #1 to generate video. It was an available option in the earliest days of the product, and then it wasn't mentioned again.

Recently I took a guess about it being a Fujitsu MB88303 television display controller, intended to provide on-screen display information for a TV (for like, function menus n' stuff). It had the same size, and looked to be self-contained, so maybe that was the part... so I bought one. I checked continuity on a few pins compared to the datasheet, and installed it.

I provided a video source to sync on input 1, and... voila! It provides a status display of how the crosspoints are routed! Victory!

And that's how I upgraded my main composite video router 25+ years after the company expected anyone to bother.

Scrolling through my photos and found this diabolically pretty sketch of Pinpointer’s face…
