Was at work again this morning, just did my normal 6hrs, didn't stay late, so I have a bit of time this evening to get some things done! Got the heating turned right up because it has been snowing all day, and now I'm curious about what weather everyone else has right now?

lol thank you

I also wanna highlight @ramshackle-ramblings tags considering they went into more detail on Paganini, the legend.

#no but paganini#the man refused last rights because there was no point#he'd already sold his soul to the devil#or so the story goes#he could play 12 notes per second#it wasn't until david garrett in 2008 that another violinist was recorded as playing that fast#he could span 3 octaves across all 4 strings#his use of harmonics changed violin technique & composition forever#speaking of composition#his 24 Caprices are some of the most difficult violin compositions ever#he used to walk out on stage and cut three strings and play the entire concert on a single string#paganini is associated with 11 Stradivarius violins and I think 1 viola#11!!!!!#his playing was so amazing and so resonant and the sound he could get out of any instrument was so beautiful#legend says he murdered beautiful women and trapped their souls in his violins so that they would sing when he played#when he was a teenager - 15 sticks in my head but i could be wrong#he needed a violin to play a concert but his was lost or broken or something#so he was loaned a Guarneri#(guarneri was a contemporary of Stradivarius and his violins are arguably better)#at the end of the concert the man that loaned the violin refused to take it back#because no one could ever make it sound as beautiful as paganini had#anyway all this is to say that holmes was right#and if youre going to talk about paganini you should talk about him for hours at a time

You truly learn something knew about him every time you hear about him. For example I didn't know the exact numbers of violins associated with him and was only really familiar with his most famous violin, 'il cannone" or ️‍🔥️‍🔥️‍🔥️‍🔥THE CANNON️‍🔥️‍🔥️‍🔥️‍🔥️‍🔥 which is so metal it makes me lose it every time i think about it

“We had a pleasant little meal together, during which Holmes would talk about nothing but violins, narrating with great exultation how he had purchased his own Stradivarius….this led him to Paganini, and we sat for an hour over a bottle of claret while he told me anecdote after anecdote of that extraordinary man”

SOOOOO many things to unpack here. Most obviously: AUTISM BABY. Holmes’ most prominent special interest (besides ash, of course) is music, particularly violins. He talks about this stuff for an hour straight (also he’s probably a little tipsy, I love the idea of drunk Holmes just infodumping about his special interests)

I also LOVE thinking about how SHERLOCK HOLMES IS OBSESSED WITH PAGANINI IN THE SAME WAY THAT WE ARE OBSESSED WITH SHERLOCK HOLMES.

And the fact that Watson LISTENS to all this. Not only that, but he ENJOYS it. He finds spending time with Holmes pleasant, not a chore to get to the cool deductions. He’ll listen to Holmes talk about violins for hours BECAUSE HE WANTS TO. And that warms my heart.

Scientists create the thinnest lens on Earth, enabled by excitons

Lenses are used to bend and focus light. Normal lenses rely on their curved shape to achieve this effect, but physicists from the University of Amsterdam and Stanford University have made a flat lens of only three atoms thick that relies on quantum effects. This type of lens could be used in future augmented reality glasses. Curved-glass lenses work because light is refracted (bent) when it enters the glass, and again when it exits, making things appear larger or closer than they actually are. People have used curved lenses for more than two millennia to study the movements of distant planets and stars, to reveal tiny microorganisms, and to improve vision. Ludovico Guarneri, Thomas Bauer, and Jorik van de Groep of the University of Amsterdam, together with colleagues from Stanford University in California, took a different approach. Using a single layer of a unique material called tungsten disulfide (WS2 for short), they constructed a flat lens that is half a millimeter wide, but just 0.0000006 millimeters, or 0.6 nanometers, thick. This makes it the thinnest lens on Earth.

Dico la verita'.. sul momento mi ero incavolato parecchio ma poi, pensando che questi miei soldi aiuteranno tutti quei commercianti, artigiani e professionisti sottoposti al "pizzo di Stato" che si apprestano a trascorrere le loro vacanze in quelle zone "anguste" della costa smeralda o in quei mari "inquinati" dei paesi caraibici, mi ha tranquillizzato non poco. Come credo si senta tranquilla la maggioranza dei cittadini, visti i grandi applausi a chi si sta spendendo per togliere a certe categorie il "pizzo di Stato".

Here's a couple more that I made

Nicolò Amati (Cremona 1596-1684 Cremona) | Violin | Italian (Cremona) | The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The violins of Nicolò Amati (1596-1684), the preeminent violin maker of the Amati family of instrument builders, were known for their elegant design, responsiveness, and sweet sound, although they lacked the strength of violins by Stradivari and Guarneri "del Gesù”

went to a classical concert last night and i saw this guy who’s the section leader for the cellos. he had his hair up in a bun and i was like “geto playing the cello fits so well actually” or rather the features of the cello fits him so perfectly and it does !!!! the lower timbre of the cello is such a testament to his raspy and calm voice, but when triggered by external forces (elgar cello concerto im looking @ u — the piece makes such a beautiful use of the instrument), the outburst is so intense and hard-hitting, something i’d expect from a collected man like geto who, when he gets angry and furious, really burns everything in his way with his spite lol.

the lower register of the cello is often a grounding instrument for the piece when it’s not played in a concerto, sort of like a bass guitar in songs, and i think at geto’s core that’s what he was for gojo — someone not as strong as gojo in terms of a flawless technique but always being the voice of reason, that laidback, chill friend who sometimes surprises you with an insane idea that usually differs from the voice of reason (when the cello is put on centre stage for a concerto, that is).

and also the fact that in ep 23’s juju sanpo there’s the (joking) implication of gojo being a violin teacher despite it all being a ploy for megumi’s supposed situation of getting hit on, it also DOES fit gojo so much because the violin in general is a really attention-seeking instrument (don’t kill me!! i play violin and i mean... i sorta agree). there’s not one but two sections of the violins in the orchestra and it’s shrill, high-pitched, a little bit of the buzz in the ear when played not so well, but when manipulated well i think it’s truly one of the most beautiful instruments constructed. and that exactly feels like what gojo is — not to reduce his character to an instrument, but rather just pointing out similar features of the violin’s sound to parts of gojo’s character — a little insufferable and annoying at first but he has a lot of depth with every year that he ages, maybe not at first when he was younger but there is that fact that older violins harmonise and sound better from the constant use and practice of the player.

the gojo now is like an aged violin like an old stradivarius or guarneri, technique honed perfectly from years and years of practice after the whole debacle of riko. the luthier process is also important — the act of satoru’s parents essentially making love and producing gojo who shifted the trajectory of the jujutsu world — where it shows that luthiers who construct the instrument from scratch will not know if their instrument will sound well years later, but it differs in his case. it just so happens that his parents were lucky luthiers who already knew the value of their instrument from the beginning.
