PFPGJGHJRFT 800 million years after losing contact with the Gorlamites, a relay satellite gets a datapacket of Gorlam origin that consists of just this image

more seriously, Cybertron lost relations and then all contact with alien species long before functionism was invented, so it’s unlikely they’re ghosting the functionist government. however, there have been other terrible governments in place and horrific wars to dodge, like the Triumvirate, the Council of Ancients, the Devil War, and so on. very possible their alien friends took one look at Cybertron going insane and ducked right on out of there, and then when Cybertronians finally sorted out their own issues they’d been left alone. really it’s the sheer time factor that makes extinction likely for organics

Are there any aliens that have a non hostile view towards cybertronians?

i literally winced when i read this hahaaaaaaa um. none? not because Cybertron is particularly hated, but because there aren't any aliens around who they know/have relations with. to quote this post:

Cybertron is isolationist, which is a good thing because their society is wildly xenophobic and organiphobic. No other petty species could possibly compare to them and their grand function divinely ordained! It’s been many megavorns since Cybertron has had confirmed contact with alien life, and even longer since it’s had diplomatic relations. They don’t know of any other species around their space currently, and they don’t care to know. Anything taught about xenospecies or organics is always done with a heavily condescending bent.

so the list of friends and enemies on alien planets is just nonexistent, at least that they know of

however

they did have contact with other species in their history! that much is plain in their records. the functionist dream might be to claim Cybertron never had dirty organics come to visit (apart from the rare deposits of fossil fuels or myths about demons and Dire Wraiths), but that's just not true. according to longstanding records put down prior to the invention of functionism (which was ~4.347.865 vorns prior to the beginning of SNAP, which is 360.872.795 Earth years), Cybertron had positive diplomatic relations with Nebulans, Gorlamites and Voin; had encountered the Vok, Akalouthans, Elonians, and Eurythmans; and at least knew of Quintessons and Prysmosians. these were all at varying times, hundreds of millions or even billions of years ago, and contact across solar systems is harder than you might think, so it's perfectly likely all these species have just... gone extinct. they don't know, and with Cybertron's current cultural climate, few people care to know. spacers out in the black keep an optic out, though, but no one has seen anything from an alien species in a very long time

regardless, the records of aliens are well documented. in fact, Exhaust teaches an optional class on historical xenorelations. Skyfire teaches xenobiology, which is less about people groups and more about science, as there are nonsapient organic species native to and flourishing on Eukaris alongside the cyberflora and fauna, and a few scattered organic ecologies on Carcer and Caminus. there are some exotic menageries in big cities elsewhere that keep organic species. Iacon has an organic-only zoo with transplanted biomes from the colonies, along with some preserved Nebulan and Voinish species. (the zoos only keep plants and animals, not people, don't worry). as you might imagine, the domestication and hobby breeding projects when working with organic species over millions of years get quite convoluted and fascinating

Animated Enchantment.

A recent restoration of Son of the White Mare sends our animation correspondent Kambole Campbell on a quest for a few words with legendary Hungarian filmmaker Marcell Jankovics, about the external cosmos, inner spiritual worlds, and the latest season of Vikings.

“The true arts are receiving less and less space in every genre.” —Marcell Jankovics

Much adored and highly rated by Letterboxd animation fans, Marcell Jankovics’ 1981 masterpiece Son of the White Mare is, frankly, some of the wildest imagery ever put on the big screen. A swirl of psychedelic depictions of folkloric beings are flattened out into a gorgeous 2D tableau. The titanic figures of the characters twist into impossible and often abstract shapes, all realized with eye-popping and heavily contrasting color.

Arbelos Films recently restored Son of the White Mare to 4K, and it was due for release in cinemas this year. Instead, the film is now available for US animation fans on Vimeo OnDemand, and it’s unmissable. “The restoration made everything pop so much, that at a point I think my brain melted,” writes Bretton, on Letterboxd. “The kind of film that makes me happy to be human,” raves Will. “Appropriately immense imagery for a creation myth,” agrees Lindy.

Hungarian filmmaker Marcell Jankovics.

Based on Hungarian folk tales and poetry, Son of the White Mare begins at the gates of the Underworld, at the base of a massive, cosmic oak tree that holds seventy-seven dragons in its roots. To combat these monsters, a dazzling white mare goddess gives birth to three heroes—the protagonist, Fanyüvő (‘Treeshaker’), and his brothers—who embark on a journey to save the universe. In the telling, Jankovics is clearly only interested in the kind of imagery that, well, only animation can provide.

Son of the White Mare (Fehérlófia) is one of four feature-length films by the animator—his others are Johnny Corncob (János Vitéz, 1973), which was Hungary’s first feature-length animated film, Song of the Miraculous Hind (2002) and the drama The Tragedy of Man (2011), which took Jankovics almost three decades to complete. These features have found continuing acclaim in the animation industry and amongst cult enthusiasts. Jankovics’ shorts are just as celebrated: Sisyphus (1974) was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short at the 48th Academy Awards, and The Struggle (1977) received a Palme d’Or for short film at the 1977 Cannes Film Festival.

Born in Budapest in 1941, Jankovics began his career almost casually; after realizing his family’s status meant no higher education would be available to him, he passed a test to work at Pannónia Filmstúdió. He has said that the animated Russian film The Humpbacked Horse (1947) directed by Ivan Ivanov-Vano was the first cartoon he remembers watching, but that art books inspired him more than films. His career has traversed post-war Hungary, including the end of the Communist regime in 1989, and Soviet military regime in 1991. These events led to greater storytelling freedom, a shift that can be spied in his art, which has included television documentaries, commercials, books, teaching, and a Disney paycheck (for work that was never seen in The Emperor’s New Groove).

In our interview, Jankovics remains steadfast in his commitment to his “chosen path”, celebrating—but not being distracted by—others in his field, and revealing glimpses of his renowned sense of humor.

This restoration and re-release marks the first time that your film has been distributed in America in decades. Have your views on Son of the White Mare shifted in the time since? Marcell Jankovics: They have not changed.

A lot of Son of the White Mare unfolds on a flat, often circular plane. What inspired you to frame things this way? I never considered 3D. I don’t use it even today. The circularity is a part of what I have to say. A fairy tale (all fairy tales) traverses a particular arc, the year, of the eternal cycle.

Could you run me through the development of the style of Son of the White Mare? Use of the color wheel accompanied the above-mentioned circularity; this was partly adapted to the circle of time and partly to the characters. I wanted to get rid of contours. I could manage this because my characters are illuminated, this is why I could take advantage of light contours.

I notice that a number of your short films have focused on Greek mythology, while your features have mostly drawn from Hungarian folklore or influenced by Judeo-Christian religion. Did your interests shift? Absolutely not! All are projections of a similar spirit of the same world. I’m currently writing a book about Biblical symbolism, and in it I make numerous references to (Hungarian) folk tales.

What fascinates you about these myths and legends? They remain eternally true. They are harmonizations of the external cosmos and man’s inner, spiritual, unconscious world.

Looking at some of the sequences of Fehérlófia, I was reminded of the sequence where Susano’o battles the Fire God in The Little Prince and the Eight-Headed Dragon (1963), directed by Yūgo Serikawa and Toei Dog. Is that a film you’re familiar with? No. And I don’t need to [be]. Tales and myths are universal, the differences are stylistic. Of course, I’d love to see it. When I designed the Fehérlófia figures, I drew countless Japanese woodcuts. I also used Japanese theatrical masks for my heroes’ facial expressions. It’s not common knowledge but the Hungarians and the Japanese consider themselves to be related.

I’ve read in an old interview that you don’t watch much new animation. Is that still true? Yes. I don’t want to be distracted from my chosen path.

What films, live-action or animated, would you say have made the greatest impression on you? I’d rather give you directors: Eisenstein, Kurosawa, Fellini, A. Wajda, Ken Russell. In animation: Frédéric Back, Richard Williams, John Hubley. I don’t know if they influenced me but I have the greatest respect for them and I always enjoy watching their films.

What’s the first film you would suggest to someone looking to discover more animation? My own Sisyphus. It might be particularly shocking for anyone who has never seen animation before.

What was the film that made you fall in love with animation? It was a little different for me, I was rather forced into it as a career. It’s a long story and I’ve told it many times. As a young kid I only watched Soviet cartoons, but still I was enchanted because animation impressed with its own kind of genre surrealism. When I started working in the profession and I had the chance to see others as well, I realized that everything was possible in this world, even what I wanted to do.

Do you have a favorite myth, or one that you’ve been wanting to adapt? Not any more. At the age of 79, I yearn for less laborious work.

Are there any upcoming films you’re excited to see yourself? I haven’t been to the cinema for a very long time. The sort of films that I would be interested in are broadcast on TV late at night. I usually look forward to the latest season of the Vikings series.

How do you feel about the future of animation? The true arts are receiving less and less space in every genre. It is sufficient for me merely to mention the latest restrictive aspects of the Oscars. I hope that the marginalization of the arts and this kind of restriction prove to be only temporary.

Which were the best years for pop music?

The world has always known music, it has been a part of human’s lives since the beginning of times and since then it has had a social role. Before writing was invented music, along with storytelling, was the best way to pass on knowledge, it is a big part of many religious rituals around the world and of course, a big part of the everyday life of a lot of people.

Since most people enjoy music and music genres and styles are so vast, it comes as no surprise that everyone has a personal preference when it comes to what music they listen to and oftentimes that music is labeled as “the best” (by that person). This is why is so common to see a friendly (or sometimes not so friendly) discussion around one controversial question: Which were the best years for music? (popular western music as different from art music and folk music)

This is a question that has ignite debate for a long time and doesn’t seem to have found an answer, until now.

You’ll see, there is a widely held belief that the answer to this matter is only subjective and depends solely on personal taste, but the reality is that the bestness of music can be defined by a series of different factors, in other words, the question that concerns us can be answered with the help of science and data from different points of view or according to different elements.

In 2013 an article that called my attention was published in the newspaper Tendencias of La tercera with the title “Sí, la música de los 60’s es la mejor de la historia” (Yes, the 60’s music is the best in history) framed by a colourful jukebox. The article is based on the investigation of the psychologist Carol Lynne Krumhansl from Cornell University in EEUU.  The article also mentions other investigations that support the statemen: one made by the psychologist Matthew Schulkind from the University of Massachusetts in 1999, and the other by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in 2012. So, I decided to make my research.

In her investigation (https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/bef6/301408b7196e06c867666ab497befeaaf00e.pdf) Krumhansl exposed young adults born in the 90’s to the top 2 songs on the Billboard between 1955 and 2009 to study how music transmitted from generation to generation shapes autobiographical memories, preferences and emotional responses, a phenomenon they call cascading reminiscence bump. The participants respond the way she expected, associating more memories to the music from years of their early adulthood and the early adulthood of their parents. The surprise came when the data showed a bump around 1965, which can be explained by 3 factors: the influence of grandparents, which according to Krumhansl is not very likely; technology, understood as the new ways of broadcasting music; and the quality of the songs from that period. This last one, is the most probable according to other researches. The one made by Schulkind in 1999, shows similar results regarding songs from the year 1965 to 1974, explaining, as well as Krumhansl, that the reason for this is simply the greater quality of these songs and adds that this allowed them to spend longer time in the popular repertoire.

To backup such conclusions I’d like to briefly explain the work published in 2012 by The CSIC (https://www.nature.com/articles/srep00521) in which they measured songs from the Million Song Dataset (a collection of audio of a million contemporary popular music tracks - https://labrosa.ee.columbia.edu/millionsong/) for timber, pitch, and loudness. The first one refers to the texture, colour and quality of the sounds, i.e. the song richness and depth of sound associated with instruments and recording techniques; the second one, roughly, corresponds to the harmonic content, including chords, melody and tonal arrangements; the third one accounts for the intrinsic volume of a recording. What the study found is that pitch sequences have being restricted (with metrics showing less variety in pitch progressions), the timbral palette has being homogenized (with frequent timbres becoming more frequent) with the variety of the timbre dropping steadily since its pick in the 60’s, and that the average loudness levels of songs have being increasing over the past years.

This means that as time goes by, we listen more of the same; as the songs become more similar to each other, more repetitive and have less quality. Why do I say this? Because the increasing loudness of music directly affects the overall quality of the sound. How? Well, have you heard about compression (dynamic range compression)? It is an “effect” you can apply to the track in editing which match the different parts of the song, so it is all at the same level of loudness or quietness (this different from the compression process of converting from one file extension to another). What the industry does these days is to boost the quietest parts to match the loudest ones, this drowns the timbral variety and mess up with the richness of the sound, thus losing the nuances that make the song interesting, or special, or beautiful.

Of course, when it comes to pop music the Industry plays a big roll, it manages the image of the artist and has great control over the style and sound of the songs, at least in the early career of the performer, this due to the risk factor. Nowadays record labels invest huge amounts of money to produce an artist, thus having to make very sure that their “product” “makes it”, so they can gain back their investment and earn some more. To do this they often stick to formulas, either for the structure of the song, its sound, the image of the artist or the aesthetics of the videoclip. But this is not enough, they also make sure the tune gets as much exposure as possible, because this creates the unconscious (sometimes fake) perception that we like something, in other words, we get used to it.

(Here you have a little sneak pick to this process: How to Create a Pop Star-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irk3_p15RJY.

What goes into making a pop song scientifically: The Formula Behind Every Perfect Pop Song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vswg-xXMAys

My most recommended, how music has changed and got worst over the years: The TRUTH Why Modern Music Is Awful – https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=5&v=oVME_l4IwII)

But this hasn’t always been the case. Around the 60’s (1955 – 1975) record companies worked in a different way: the process of becoming a famous singer was mostly based on the music itself. The artist needed to be a good singer to begin with, there was no autotune, the editing was made by hand and the singer had to get the song perfectly right and in sync with the band in a few hours; they were basically performing live while being recorded and that was what the company would release. The role of the producer was different from modern day too, they were there to help built the vision of the artist and act as a consultant rather than produce the entire record to fit certain formulas. The rise of new technology into the musical scene let musicians have fun experimenting with new sounds (until the 80’s with the synth and the drum machine when things started going downhill quality wise) as well as the introduction of music from other cultures (like India).

The creative freedom and cultural changes lead this period to have some of the best songs and artists in the history of popular music:

-          This period has the most representation in the chart with 4 of the 10 first positions in the “Hot 100 artists of all time”

-          In the “500 greatest artist of all time” by Rolling Stone, 10 out of the 10 first positions go to artist with big careers in the period

-          In the “500 greatest albums of all time” by Rolling Stone, 10 out of the 10 first positions go to albums realised in the period

-          1960’s has the most songs (40,8%) in the “500 greatest songs of all time” by Rolling Stone magazine, followed by the 70’s (28,2) and the 50’s (14,4).

A lot was happening in the 60’s, it was a time of cultural revolution. People were embracing change and seeking the new. Youth had consolidated as a social group with economic power ready to spend on the latest and ready to have fun. Whatever was interesting, new, extravagant or fun will resonate with them, and this is exactly how the musical creativity of that time went down. Music was influenced by people and people was influenced by music, to create a highly creative atmosphere for all forms of art. Unlike music industry today where all the formulas and exposure, give us a feeling of familiarity and comfort that numb our unconscious mind and are designed to make big sales and quick money. You can most certainly say that pop reflects the society that produces it.

Undoubtedly, the songs and artist from around the 60’s had a great impact in our culture to the point that their music and names are still in the collective unconscious of the world, as the study of Carol Lynne Krumhansl showed. That is why we hear them in many movies, commercials and trailers (There is now a trend to use arranged classical rock songs). So to finish it off here are some examples of these songs still going in our distant time.

Among our consumers we see extremely couple of XP computers left. Those that are left fall primarily into the category of machine controllers or thin customers. Thin customers can continue to be used because they are locked down from modify and never directly access the Net themselves. This tends to make them more resilient to modifications more than time and we can just preserve those in location. For machine controllers we need to have to lock them down so that they have no Net activity at all on them. This implies no e-mail, no net and only the quite restricted function that they have to do in order to run the machine that they are connected to. Any other functions have to be moved off to an additional much more modern operating technique.

Unlike the Surface Studio, the Dell Canvas does not even come with a pc attached – it is merely a show with a quad-HD (2,560 x 1,440) resolution that lays horizontally on your desk. It is got some huge bezels, but Dell says that’s intentional. They received feedback from artists who mentioned they preferred large bezels to rest their palms on whilst drawing. The Canvas also comes with a digital pen as well as the “totem,” a circular dial meant to be placed on the screen that was clearly inspired by Microsoft’s personal Surface Dial.

Performance enthusiasts can take benefit of the Dell XPS and Alienware lines. These Pc desktops mix higher functionality components with robust design and style.

The larger towers in the XPS line give lots of area for cooling so you can run your laptop at complete energy. Though the suggestions described in this plan can benefit anybody who uses a personal computer, they are mostly intended for departments with men and women making use of desktop computers. Most of the guidelines will not apply to laptop computers, which are developed only for brief-term use and can’t be sufficiently adjusted.

As you can picture, that modest frame tends to make it a wonderfully transportable pc. Thanks to its skinny bezels, it can match into bags meant for 11-inch laptops. But, as usual, there’s a price to getting so thin. The XPS 13 2-in-1 does not have room for full-size USB connections. Instead, it packs in two USB-C ports on each side, which can manage charging and external displays. One socket is also Thunderbolt three. compatible, which tends to make it about eight instances as quickly as USB three. for information transfer. Fortunately, Dell involves a dongle in the box to get your older devices connected to USB-C.
