Ok the bad news is that I had to recreate my plex server from scratch, since I didn't do a back up before my laptop got fucked up...

But maybe it's for the best since the soundprints are finally analyzing (I was having trouble with it on my old laptop). Now all the waveforms are visible on my songs. And media analysis is going by extremely quickly...plex is processing 100 albums in two hours (it would take days on my other laptop....seriously thought i'd be waiting til Christmas for it to finally finish).

What makes a restaurant noisy?

I added a bit of ✨spice✨ to this news report on noisy restaurants around the world.

A survey by SoundPrint found that San Francisco had the noisiest restaurants, followed by London.

But what makes a restaurant noisy? And what defines ‘too loud’ ?

Minute of islands narrator

#MINUTE OF ISLANDS NARRATOR SERIES#

It’s a place where the old and the new live side by side. A place where cities rise phoenix-like from the ashes of fire and where the ghosts of the dead haunt the landscape. EP.4 Aerial Greece: The Northīounded by the rugged fastness of the Pindus Mountains and the blue expanse of the Aegean, this is a land of mystery. This third episode of “Aerial Greece” explores the distinct culture and unique stories of these islands. These places seem remote today, but once they stood at the centre of human innovation. Crete, Samos, Chios, Rhodes and the Dodecanese, many of the values of Greek and western civilization were first born and nurtured here. EP.3 Aerial Greece: Crete & The Eastern IslandsĪt the southern and eastern fringes of the Aegean Sea lie some of Greece’s largest islands. This second episode of “Aerial Greece” explores the birthplace of the Western World as we know it today. This is a land of Spartan warriors, mythical legends and great gods, where the ancient and modern are interwoven like nowhere else. Southern Greece, the home of an ancient civilisation that influenced everything from the languages of Europe to philosophy, politics, art, architecture and even sport. This first episode of “Aerial Greece” explores the stories of nine of these magnificent and enthralling islands. Each island has its own unique story, from the tourist hotspots of Mykonos and Santoríni, to the hidden grandeur of Náxos and Amorgós. The Cyclades Islands of Greece known as the Great Archipelago, are a ring of over 200 islands filled with extraordinary history and ancient myth.

The Soundprint documentary series features the best work of top radio producers. Research on Savant Syndrome is producing new insights on how the human brain works, and how personal intelligence can outwit the IQ test. How can a 20-year-old man who is blind, autistic and still believes in Santa Claus play the most sophisticated improvisational jazz piano? How can a child who appears withdrawn and mentally disabled gaze at a building for only a minute then draw an exact reproduction on paper? Producer Stephen Smith explores the mysterious powers of savants - people with profound mental disabilities who develop an island of genius in music, mathematics or art.

When Vancouver Soundscape was published in 1978, R. Murray Schafer & Co noted the quasi-musical aspect of telephone ringback tones, which then consisted of a 20 Hz fundamental with varying harmonics added over top, resulting in a unique pitch for each telephone exchange in the Lower Mainland. For instance, numbers corresponding to the Grandview telephone exchange with the 255- prefix would ring back at 698 Hz (on a piano, this is the F natural above centre-A), while the Richmond exchange (prefix 277-) rang an octave below at 349 Hz.

Since then, the city has become much louder, but also less musical. Which brings me to my first earwitness complaint and corresponding solution. The World Soundscape crew identified Muzak and seaplanes as the greatest menace to Vancouverites’ ears forty years ago, but they would surely have registered many decibels of disgust over the cacophony of dissonant chirps at any SkyTrain fare-gate. A solution: why not re-engineer the acoustic design in such a way that each station had a unique soundprint? A signature key (Granville would naturally be G-major), such that when a Compass card was scanned, the beep of assent as the gate allowed the rider to pass through would be either the tonic (G) or another note at a harmonious interval (ie: B and D). A balm for the ears! (A more radical but less melodic solution would obviously be no fare-gates at all). Translink, are you listening?

My secondary earwitness complaint is people who wander off noisy streets into quiet bookshops, declare them to be “a sanctuary”, then take advantage of said sanctuary to place a loud call on their cellphone and my corresponding solution is that they cease this philistinic behaviour immediately. (I attempt to communicate this problem and solution with a signature glare in the key of NO).

I need to have a distinct soundprint. i like things that make a lot of noise either when i interact with it, or when I carry it. I like being able to hear audial ambient noice or whatever

i also love bright colors and warm yellow tones and unique looking cars and crunchy sounding music and the optigan instrument and also video games and art and poetry and looking at the details of an eye the gentle scent of a good shampoo and the inescapable beauty of the clouds and the feeling of camaraderie from a movie theater and the sounds that some operating systems have and also OLD OLD OLD media recording systems

“I’m into That” Ep 5 + 6 highlights

"Badass Mickey Boy” and “National Geographic Bird Man” 

Shane crowdsourced twitter to find Ryan’s cameo in an NCIS episode (...I wanna see it) 

Let’s be real, Shane is pretty much Ryan’s biggest fan at this point

Ryan is an avid theme park lover and has engaged in forum debates 

The continuation of them trying to suss out his identity

They both enjoy taking soundprints of ambient noise

Ryan suggesting that they should compare their soundprint library 

Shane loves thunderstorms 

“Can you imagine Tom Cruise as Bane?” 

#Tommytalk

They went to shake the hands of the people they almost murdered! 

Shane adding cannon balls into his list of fears 

Ryan knows the fuckin system man. He knows

Shane and Ryan being masterminds that pulled the same shit for more popcorn refills. They literally had the same idea, pulled the same tricks, to get the same end goal, without even having met/known each other just yet

Boy, Ryan sure does love gaming the system and getting away with shit. -looks into the distance- (early ricky vibes there)

#soft germs

“You know, as long as I’ve known you Shane, there are certain moments like this where I discover things that I find very weird that I discover that you also enjoy as well and it worries me almost.” 

“How’d you guys ever find each other?” “That’s gonna remain unsolved.”

Shane follows the other ryan bergara
