Later that week, after working on some other songs, Noel returned to his 'Champagne Supernova' guitar overdubs.
"There are two e-bows that run throughout the song, giving it a sort of violin effect, and he did all of those parts pretty quick,” says Morris. "Then he also did all of his picking parts pretty quick. This went on for about two hours. Noel would just sit in the studio next to his amps and play. He wouldn't come into the control room to listen to what he'd done until everything was finished. So his guitar overdubs were all done fairly quickly.
"After that, there was a session when Liam felt inspired to do all of the Beatle-y 'aaahs' that would go over the guitar solo, to which I also added some Beatle-y Mellotron parts. Then, during another session, he had a go at singing 'Champagne Supernova'. We did half a dozen takes, but what happened was that the high note of the song — at the end of the line 'The world's still spinning around, we don't know why' — was kind of burning his voice out. So he was getting croakier on each take, and by the time he got to the end he was sounding very Rod Stewart-y.
"I did a comp of the vocal and, bizarrely enough, Noel and Liam both liked it. But I didn't. So at the very end of the six-week session at Rockfield, when just Liam and I were in the studio, I got him to re-sing it and we did it piece by piece. We did the first verse half a dozen times and we did the ending half a dozen times. Then, once he'd completed all of the soft bits, Liam did the first chorus half a dozen times, followed by the same number of takes for the second verse and the other choruses, until he tackled the high part last.”
The only major element still missing from 'Champagne Supernova' was the lead guitar that Noel Gallagher wanted his mate Paul Weller to play. Accordingly, after Oasis appeared at the Glastonbury Festival in late-June and the mix of (What's The Story) Morning Glory? commenced on a Neve console in the mix room at South London's Orinoco Studios, Weller showed up one day with his roadie, a white Gibson SG and an old Vox AC30 amplifier.
"He didn't have any pedals with him,” Morris recalled. "He had the volume on '3'. It was a really nice Vox and a really nice SG, and so I just put a 57 on it and recorded it as was. Paul probably did four solos, and then he and Noel let me pick what I wanted. He also contributed a little whistle to 'Champagne Supernova' — a few bars after the big guitar solo finishes — and 'Ooh' backing vocals at the end, as well as some harmonica and guitar to 'The Swamp Song'. All in all, it was another very quick session. He and Noel probably turned up at three in the afternoon and left at seven that evening.”
—Owen Morris on recording Champagne Supernova in Sound On Sound (November 2012)

FREE/MAN’s ‘Watchtower’: An Acoustic Anthem of Healing and Hope" London-based singer-songwriter Charlie Freeman, known artistically as FREE/MAN, invites listeners into a reflective and deeply personal experience with his latest release, “Watchtower.” A highlight from his debut album Truth—soon to be reissued—this track bridges the artist’s past and future as he prepares for his upcoming 2025 album, Gift in the Shadows. At its heart, “Watchtower” is a meditation on self-awareness, spirituality, and resilience. Freeman’s soulful voice serves as the emotional anchor, carrying a quiet intensity that draws the listener in. There’s a raw honesty in his delivery, as he navigates themes of truth, connection, and overcoming adversity. The instrumentation perfectly complements Freeman’s emotive vocals. Stripped-back acoustic guitars provide a timeless foundation, while the poignant harmonica lines add an aching beauty to the arrangement. Together, these elements create a soundscape that feels intimate yet expansive, accessible yet profound. Lyrically, Freeman delves deep into universal struggles, transforming pain into strength. His words resonate with an authenticity born of lived experience, particularly his journey of using music as a means of coping during his father’s illness. This sense of catharsis is palpable throughout “Watchtower,” making it not just a song, but a shared emotional journey. [caption id="attachment_58347" align="alignnone" width="2000"] His words resonate with an authenticity born of lived experience, particularly his journey of using music as a means of coping during his father’s illness.[/caption] The production maintains a delicate balance between clarity and texture. The track avoids over-engineering, instead embracing a warm, organic quality that echoes the roots of Americana and folk rock. The harmonies, acoustic guitar solo, and subtle percussion interweave seamlessly, creating a dynamic yet cohesive sound. “Watchtower” also teases Freeman’s broader vision as an artist. His dual approach—melding meditative introspection with anthemic energy—is on full display, offering a glimpse into the connective and transformative experiences he aims to cultivate in his live performances. Beyond the music, Freeman’s influence extends into his work as a community leader and studio owner, where he fosters new talent through initiatives like the Freedom Music Prize. This dedication to nurturing others is woven into the DNA of his music, amplifying its impact and reach. In “Watchtower,” FREE/MAN captures the profound dualities of life: suffering and solace, vulnerability and strength, introspection and connection. It’s a track that transcends genres, speaking to the human experience with a depth and sincerity that lingers long after the music fades. As Freeman gears up for his global tour and the release of Gift in the Shadows, “Watchtower” stands as a powerful testament to his artistry—a must-listen for anyone seeking music that speaks to the soul.

When Physics and Music Hook Up: The Wild World of Harmonics and Resonance
Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves for the ultimate collision of nerd-dom and rock stardom! Grab your earbuds and lab goggles because we’re diving into the steamy love affair between physics and music. Buckle up, because this is going to be wilder than a cat meme marathon and juicier than the latest Kardashian drama.
Imagine this: You’re chilling at a concert, the bass drops, and suddenly the entire crowd is vibing harder than TikTokers to a trending dance challenge. That, my dear Watson, is physics doing the cha-cha with music, and we’re here to spill the tea on harmonics and resonance.
First, let's talk about harmonics. Not to be confused with harmonicas (because let’s be real, who even uses those anymore?), harmonics are the secret sauce that gives music its rich, layered sound. Picture a harmonic series as a musical family reunion. You’ve got the fundamental frequency—the cool cousin everyone loves—and then you have the overtones, those weird uncles and aunts that add flavor to the mix. They’re like the secret ingredients in your grandma’s cookies, making each note sound more complex and delicious.
Now, if you've ever plucked a guitar string or seen a violinist go wild, you’ve witnessed harmonics in action. Those strings vibrate in patterns that create multiple frequencies at once. It’s like if Ariana Grande could sing every note of her range at the same time—pure magic. In physics terms, this means the string is wiggling at various parts, creating nodes and antinodes. Antinodes, by the way, are not the villain in a sci-fi flick but the points where the vibration is most intense.
Speaking of vibrations, let’s sashay over to resonance. Resonance is like that one friend who always knows how to make a party lit. When an object (say, a guitar string) vibrates at just the right frequency, it makes everything around it start to groove along. Remember the iconic scene in “Jurassic Park” where the water glass shakes before the T-Rex shows up? That’s resonance making a dramatic entrance.
In the world of music, resonance can make or break an instrument’s sound. Take a look at a piano. When you strike a key, the strings inside resonate at their natural frequencies, amplifying the sound. It’s like when your voice echoes in a bathroom, only less awkward and more melodious. Wind instruments, like trumpets and flutes, work on the same principle. Blow into them, and the air column inside starts vibing like a Snapchat streak on fire.
Now, let’s talk math. But don’t worry, we’re not diving into calculus here. Think of sound waves like waves at a beach party. Each wave has its own wavelength and frequency, kind of like how each party guest has their own dance moves. When waves interfere, they can either amplify each other (constructive interference) or cancel each other out (destructive interference). It’s the difference between a killer dance-off and two people awkwardly bumping into each other.
Enter Fourier analysis, the Beyoncé of mathematical tools in music and physics. Fourier takes complex sound waves and breaks them down into their constituent sine waves. Imagine Fourier as a DJ, remixing a track into its basic beats and melodies. This is crucial for everything from tuning musical instruments to creating those earworm pop hits that get stuck in your head.
Fast forward to today’s music production. Physics isn’t just hanging out in the background; it’s right there in the spotlight. Modern synthesizers and digital audio workstations use principles of physics to create and manipulate sounds. Ever wondered how your favorite EDM drop sounds so electrifying? Thank the physics behind sound wave manipulation and synthesis.
But it’s not all about making sick beats. Artists have taken the fusion of music and physics to a whole new level. Think of installations where sound waves are visualized through sand patterns or water vibrations. It’s like when your high school science project meets an art exhibit, and suddenly everyone’s minds are blown.
So, why should we care about this unholy alliance of physics and music? Because, my dear readers, it’s the key to unlocking a new dimension of creativity in education. Imagine a classroom where physics isn’t just about dry equations, but about understanding the rhythms of the universe through music. It’s like School of Rock, but with more brain cells involved.
In conclusion, the next time you’re headbanging at a concert or just tapping your foot to a catchy beat, remember you’re witnessing the beautiful dance (oops, banned word alert) of physics and music. This fusion isn’t just about sound waves and equations; it’s a reminder that art and science are not rivals but partners in crime, making the world a more fascinating place. Physics education with art isn’t just a buzzword; it’s the future of learning, where every student gets to rock out while unlocking the secrets of the universe.
And that, my friends, is how you turn harmonics and resonance from textbook snooze-fests into the ultimate rockstars of physics. Now, go forth and spread the word: science can be as lit as your favorite playlist. Keep it real, stay curious, and never stop jamming!

Unscheduled swap.
The Harman Kardon is in the rack. The ARC is on the floor upside down with its bottom cover off.
We were just grooving to some 1970s music when it went quiet. Lights on the front of the big amp went dark. The line fuse failed? Huh???
No weirder than that. The fuse holder gave out. It may have been fiddled with before as there was solder inside where none should be. So I got the old HK Citation 12 from its place of rest. I wrestled out the ARC. Fk it is heavy, and put the tiny HK in its place.
They are both rated at 60 Watts per side. 1960s versus 1990s.
At first oh shit what is that sound? Harsh, tinny. Cold transistors? By the time I got my soldering gun (yes gun, tiny irons are for girls) and pulled the old bakelite (??) fuse thing out the HK had got WAY better.
The upturned tuber looks like a monster spilled its guts. Gobs of wires and fancy yellow capacitors. Poor thing. Of course I will find a new panel mount fuse holder. Hey two the other one is old too. The wires in there are tight bundles. I should have her back together tomorrow. There is an AUTOPARTS store that has the part nearby.
So the HK is settling down. Just finished side 2 of pawnshop. The big difference is the lovely golden textures have been replaced by white light. Not harsh, just not as pretty. Right now I am playing Herb Alpert's Rise as I played it last night. Same thing.
Also the Bass is how transistors are supposed to work. More solid and all that. Strangely not as deep?? The speakers may like the tuber. The funky textures are missed. Oh and some details are back. In pawnshop the crowd was more distinct and yes ice in the glasses.
The HK is not as good as the Franken amp I think. I may have to play Cowboy Junkies. Tiny details have not revealed themselves yet.
But you know the little beast was designed in 1960 something. It is dual mono. One power cord, but inside there are two completely separate amplifiers. They were reaching even back then. Okay Mr Alpert is playing a flugelhorn now. I dint notice that before.
Hey 1960s were not that bad. This is a fair fight.
Junkies. Track one. The stupid noise is there. Track two the Bass is more recessed. The vocal is clear. Oh very clear. Margo does not sound so lispy. Mr Harman has nothing to apologize for.
Yes it is different. I can see exactly why people yearn for the golden sound of the tubes. It aint right or better, just prettier. Photographers like to shoot in the golden hours. Just after sunrise, and just before sunset. The light has less blue and makes skin look richer. All those swimsuit shoots do that. It aint as honest as midday light.
OK Acid Test. Side 4 Cowboy Junkies LP. Sweet Jane. Bass bang on. I think my brain is adjusting to the sound a bit. Clean clear. The guitar is far left clear, clean. Shit the high hats dead centre perfect metallic.
Postcard blues. DEEP bass from the foot tap. Not as organic as the ARC. Margo is right there! I can hear her lips part. Oh yes the harmonica, damn. This is an amazing album. GET IT Droogs! Margo just took a breath like a real human. This is good.
I will put the ARC back in for a couple days once I fix it. Then the Franken-Amp gets his turn.

Thursday morning . . .
Not a cloud in the sky . . .
So, this is no cry for help.
Just a kind of special song . . .
And as in the great rock 'n roll tradition . . .
Who the fork is playing the harmonica . . . ??!!
And the amplifiers are way in the background in that dusty garage in Malibu . . .??
And the guitar leads . . . ??
Why, they're hot wired into the universe don't 'cha know . . .
Forgeddaboutit . . . !!
Nevertheless . . .
Enjoy . . . !!

Marion Walter Jacobs (May 1, 1930 – February 15, 1968), known as Little Walter, was a blues musician, singer, and songwriter, whose revolutionary approach to the harmonica and impact on succeeding generations has earned him comparisons to such seminal artists as Django Reinhardt, Charlie Parker, and Jimi Hendrix. His virtuosity and musical innovations fundamentally altered many listeners’ expectations of what was possible on blues harmonica. He was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the first artist and to date, the only one to be inducted specifically as a harmonica player.
He found work as a guitarist but garnered more attention for his already highly developed harmonica playing. According to Chicago bluesman Floyd Jones, his first recording was an unreleased demo recorded soon after he arrived in Chicago, on which he played guitar backing Jones. He, reportedly frustrated with having his harmonica drowned out by electric guitars, adopted a simple but previously little-used method: He cupped a small microphone in his hands along with his harmonica and plugged the microphone into a public address system or guitar amplifier. He could compete with any guitarist’s volume. Unlike other contemporary blues harp players, such as Sonny Boy Williamson I and Snooky Pryor, who like many other harmonica players had also begun using the newly available amplifier technology around the same time solely for added volume, he purposely pushed his amplifiers beyond their intended technical limitations, using the amplification to explore and develop radical new timbres and sonic effects previously unheard from a harmonica or any other instrument. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Defining the 4 genres of blues music
urban blues
urban blues will have been performed in cities with significant african american populations, like memphis, detroit, chicago from the 1930s
more codified and elaborate as the performer had to adapt to a broader audience aesthetic
vaudeville blues singers were popular in the 1920s
unusual keys would be used to reach people at the back of a room, and create surprise
common themes: migration/dailylife/ social consciousness/ travel/ war/ segregation/ relationships/ activism and politics
3 major urban blues categories: sophisticated version of country blues / amplified country/ amplified jazz-inflected blues
1930s sophisticated country blues
many jazz-inflected bands toured and performed in clubs and concert venues throughout California south and south-west
1950s and 60s, urban blues would tour europe and uk, which influenced formation of blues rock groups like led zeppelin and eric clapton and the paul butterfield blues band and dire straits
almost all urban blues songs were vocals with instrumentals accompniment
followed a 3-line verse form, where the first line was repeated in the second then the thought was repeated in the rhyming third line
most verses began with a quatrain taking up the same amount of time as the first line of the standard 3line verse
the sophistiocated country blues would be backed by a guitar or piano
denser yexture and rural blues due to a complex harmony and the vocals would be ligher instead of raspy
amplified post war2 blues would see singers taking more liberties with cries, moans, hollers and melodic elaborations than chicago singers
one guitar would emphasise the rhythm, another would play melodic riffs and figures and included a harmonica too
jazz-inflected blues would have a singer, guitarist with a small jazz band (piano, bass, drums and horns), the vocals would be shouters
urban blues commented on the ups and downs of daily life, protesting mistreatment by lovers and discrimination and economic hardship
country blues
relies on the expressive power of the voice with sparse instrumental accompaniment (guitar or harmonica) which is more improvisatory and freedom than urban blues
the music of day to day life
delta blues
also known as mississippi blues
solo performances accompanied by guitar and relied on techniques like sliding of a bottle neck to blend the notes
melodic phrases on the guitar to respond to the voice in an improvised call and response pattern
song topics: failed romance, sexual escapades and tales of life on the road
high contrast to the classic blues, because this tended to be males singer- guitarists
recording of blues music was curtailed during the great depression
during ww2 traditional blues fell out of popularity
rhythm and blues (rnb)
post war african-american music
leads to white rock music which has been derived from it
a development of the sopisticated urban music which had been developing from the 1930s
large group and small group rhythm and blues
small groups would consist of 5-7 pieces and each would take their turn in the limelight
this influenced the development of rock and roll and there are no hard rules defining them from eachother so much of the music could fit both categories
by the mid 50s, much of the guitar-led electric blues music from chicago and mamphis was rhythm and blues as it appealed to older buyers
by 1960s rhythm and blues had aged with its audience
rhythm and blues has attained a new meaning due to british bands which followed, like the 'beatles' and 'rolling stones' which tended to be mod rock bands calling their work r&b to attract an audience
thoughts:
I now have a better understanding of the categories of blues music and i intend to now research different Belgian beers and beer favours so that i can find a flavour pairing for one of the each genres of beer to be based off of. i hope it will also help with the design of the packaging, looking at which are more sophisticated, what each category sings about in themes and how the music in the background might sound. this will allow me to create a visual correlation with the sound of the music for a unique take on beer packaging and to represent Blegium&Blues bar well.

There's a neat toy and hobby shop near the main bus station in town, of the old kind — several aisles of toys and then a big section of kits and supplies for RC cars and airplanes, plastic models, and model railroads. When I was in there last, I saw a big selection they had of tiny painted figures — little people sized appropriately for HO scale railroad dioramas to add some life to the landscape.
Now, back when I made my "Within the Scope" oscilloscope module, I got the initial panel design wrong, so I have extras just kicking around, each with that nice square window at the top.
So once I have a new rack that isn't completely full of modules, I'd like to set one of the unused panels up as a little diorama piece, by insetting a stage in the window to hold little guys like these:
Unfortunately, the busker and the harmonica player are from two different "hobo" sets, and I couldn't immediately find what I really wanted, a 1950s-ish garage band. Ah, well.
(So it's not a pure art piece, I think the plan would be to have the holes for jacks below that hold buttons and jacks for a little MP3/sample player, and mount a SD card slot or USB jack to one side of the "stage". With a little amplifier included to bring the output up to Eurorack levels, it'd add the ability to play arbitrary clips into whatever — create a drum track elsewhere, perhaps, or layer in some spoken word stuff.)
