Civil Defense Siren - Federal Signal Model 2

Nothing is funnier than the fact that if you say the ‘air raid siren’ to anyone who knows anything about metal, they’ll instantly know you mean Bruce Dickinson.

Waiting for the sirens

I have 60 seconds to get to the bomb shelter. Sometimes, it's 60 seconds after being woken from a heavy sleep. It's always 60 seconds while making sure my kids are with me and we have the flashlights because the bomb shelter doesn't have electricity or working lights. I weigh my options about going to the supermarket. Will they have stocked shelves? Where is their bomb shelter? Where is a likely place for me to duck and cover while walking to and from the supermarket? I look at the shower and check the time. Well, yesterday we had air raid sirens at 8PM. The day before it was at 6PM. The day before that was at 5PM. The day before that one was 4:30PM. Sunday was quiet all day here. But Saturday morning. That horrific, vile first morning.... when do I take my chance to take a shower?

I have a strange file on my PDA phone, it is yugoloop.ogg

It was the culmination of experimenting with SoX under Linux, an air raid siren in it's attack phase, echoing throughout some area in Yugoslavia. The added effect is a semi wet reverb that makes it sound like the siren's going off all over and echoing throughout. Got a little creative with calling some reverses here and there and it become a pingpong style loop, overlapping the forward playing version with a softer reversed version.

An accomplishment using only the terminal.

So why is it strange?

I made it so I could sleep.

Pretty sure @gtds-ronin's neighbors didn't sleep that night. I sure did.

"Sur le toit de l'Hôtel de Ville," Le Soleil. October 21, 1942. Page 7. ---- Pour la première fois cette semaine, à l'occasion de l'exercice d'obscurcissement et du "raid" aérien simulé, une quinzaine des quarante sirènes dont dispose le C. P. C. serviront à avertir la population. Hier sur le toit de l'Hôtel de Ville, on a fait l'inauguration de l'une de ces sirénes dont la pesanteur est de 500 livres environ. Dans la vignette, on aperçoit le chef Rosaire Beaulieu, de la brigade des incendies: le chef J.-J. Gagnon, président du Comité de protection civile; M. Edouard Martel (à genou) ingénieur civil et chef des services essentiels : le caporal Roger Lemire, chef de la garde civile. Ils sont accompagnés d'un garde civil et d'un pompier auxiliaire en uniforme. (Photo du Solell)

If we were in a movie, the fact that Ternopil, the hometown of TVORCHI, was bombed by russia minutes before the band's performance in the Eurovision finale would be deemed bad writing. It's over the top, it's trying too hard with the drama, and why make the villian into a cartoonish character? But the reality is such that russia is the cartoon villian. No tragic backstories, no understandable motivations. Just the desire to erase Ukrainians as culture and people. I know that for a lot of those living in other countries, the war seems like something distant, a scary story they want nothing to do with (hello, Switzerland with your 'I don't wanna a soldier', it's not like we haven't noticed, neutrality and all). But here's another reminder that for Ukrainians, fighting russia is fighting for our right to simply live.
