#with icelandic and korean on the horizon

[neutrinotempest]

Learning new languages, even if i never get to fluency, makes me feel the beauty of the world. The way we paint the world with sound or adorn the air with handshapes, communication is so damn beautiful.

[rotzaprachim]

2022 language goals: pass koine Greek, Hebrew c1 (I think at a b1/b2 at the moment? needs work), French B1, Norwegian A2. I should return to Italian so I don’t let it deteriorate more, but atm I am just not feeling it. may dabble on horizon with Icelandic, Korean, Russian, or Irish but haven’t made any hard decisions

Kefir Market Size, 2020 Industry Share and Global Demand | 2027 Forecast by Fortune Business Insights™

Kefir Market size is projected to reach USD 1.84 billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period. Excellent benefits of fermented dairy products on heart health will prove to be a major game-changer for this market in the coming years.

Fortune Business Insights™ in its report, titled “Kefir Market Size, Share & COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Product Type (Dairy-based & Non-dairy), By Nature (Organic & Conventional), Category (Flavored & Non-flavored), Distribution Channel (Supermarkets/Hypermarkets, Convenience Stores, Specialty Stores, & Online Retail), and Regional Forecast, 2020-2027”. Findings from a 2018 study conducted by researchers from the University of Eastern Finland revealed that men who consume large amount of fermented dairy items such as kefir and yoghurt have a significantly lower risk of developing coronary heart disease. Another study, conducted in Brazil and published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry in 2019, showed that kefir-infused fermented milk improved blood pressure and prevented cardiac hypertrophy. With increasing prevalence of cardiovascular disorders, which are the number one cause of death worldwide according to the WHO, the demand for probiotics-laden ingredients such as kefir is likely to spike, as people become more aware of their potential health benefits. 

The report states that the global market value stood at USD 1.23 billion in 2019 and provides the following:

A thorough study of all the factors driving and restraining the     market;

Detailed analysis of the various market segments;

A comprehensive examination of the regional prospects for the     market; and

In-depth research of the competitive landscape of the market.

 Market Opportunity

Increasing Focus on Gut Health to Fight the Coronavirus to Create Opportunities

The COVID-19 pandemic has renewed the debate on maintaining gut health, with several health experts emphasizing and highlighting the critical link between the immune system and the gut. For example, epidemiologists at the King’s College London established through research that gut bacteria release many important chemicals, including Vitamin A, which help regulate and strengthen the immune system.

With a vaccine for the coronavirus seeming unlikely in the immediate future, bolstering the gut micro-biome, and the immune system by extension, has become crucial. This is possible, according to the researchers, by consuming healthy amounts of natural probiotics found in drinks such as kefir and fermented foods such as Korean kimchi. The current health crisis, therefore, may generate conditions favorable to the kefir market growth. However, disruptions in supply chains and downturn in economic activities will dampen the growth prospects of the market in 2020.

 Regional Insights

High Nutritional Awareness to Power Market Growth in Europe

Europe, where the market size stood at USD 654.78 million in 2019, is expected to dominate the kefir market share during the forecast period. The central growth driver for this region is the widespread awareness about the nutritional requirements to maintain gut health. Emerging trend of healthy snacking is also expected to boost the demand for fermented milk in the region.

Increasing investment in research to investigate the benefits of probiotic food & drinks by companies in North America will fuel the regional market growth. In Asia Pacific, the market will be mainly driven by the growing interest of consumers in novel, flavored probiotic products, especially dairy-based kefir, which held a share of 71.91% in 2019 in the region.

 List of the Leading Companies Profiled in the Global Kefir Market are:

The Icelandic Milk and Skyr Corp (New York, U.S.)

Maple Hill Creamery, LLC (New York, U.S.)

As this image demonstrates, white supremacy, and the radical right wing paramilitary movements that champion it, were a threat to liberty and justice in the 1960s, nearly 100 years after the abolition of slavery in the U.S. Sadly, the movement to uphold and reassert white supremacy remains a threat to the dream of racial justice today. — in Arlington, Virginia.

LOONA theory - What was Haseul’s fate?

Okay, so I felt kinda bad about this, but when I was discussing my analysis on the # teasers leading up to “So What”, I briefly mentioned that there was something in “Rain 51db” that originally, I planned to bring up in the “So What” analysis, but forgot to. 😂

However, I decided to discuss it here, because Haseul’s character and story in the LOONAverse is one full of mystery. And I believe that she has a tragic fate that the other members are trying to save her from.

So let’s dive a little bit deeper into Haseul’s story arc and see what’s happening.

Rain 51db

Okay, so at the start of the music video for “Rain 51db”, we are shown small clips of the 1/3 members’ music videos: 

Hyunjin’s “Around You”, where she’s showing the letters to the cat...

1/3′s “Love & Live”, with Heejin starting to sprint...

Haseul’s “Let Me In”, where we see bird Haseul, as well as the crashed plane...

ViVi’s “Everyday I Love You”, with her at the counter of the skating rink she works at...

And finally Heejin’s “ViViD”, where we see Heejin in the yellow suit (I believe this to be Heejin’s shadow/dream counterpart)...

But did you notice that on top of the fact that we see bird Haseul instead of Haseul herself, that “Let Me In” wasn’t actually playing in the clip?

All the other clips did, but not Haseul’s. We just heard the sound of wind blowing.

But why are we seeing this and why don’t we hear “Let Me In”?

Well, let’s remember what we’ve been associating the VHS static overlay as: when we see something with a static overlay, it’s a memory from one of the members, whether from a waking experience or a memory from a dream.

In the case of the clip for Hyunjin with the letters, Heejin sprinting on the track, and ViVi in the skating rink, they are memories from their waking life. But Heejin’s “ViViD” is, for the majority of the video, a dream in Heejin’s mind. She was imagining herself in a more luxurious life and world full of vibrant colors.

So, what does this mean for Haseul’s clip and “Let Me In”?

Well, I believe that what we see occur in “Let Me In” is actually all a dream in Haseul’s mind, much like “ViViD” was for Heejin. And the fact that what we see in the clip is Haseul’s shadow self, along with the broken down plane, and don’t hear the actual song, must mean that she’s haunted by this dream. For Haseul, what she saw in her dreams was akin to a nightmare.

Now that we’ve re-established this connection, let’s re-examine what we see happen in “Let Me In” in the context of it being a dream.

Let Me In

So, we already established that after “The Carol”, Yeojin went missing and Haseul went in search of her. But maybe when we see her arrive at the black sand beach in Iceland, she wasn’t actually there; she was only dreaming.

Let’s say that Haseul’s mind traveled to the dream world on the opposite side of the Moebius, since her thoughts were focused solely on finding Yeojin, and we see her shadow/dream counterpart appear.

The first time we see Haseul, she is sitting in the passenger's seat of the truck. She’s being taken into the dream world.

When she opens her eyes, the truck is driving itself and brings Haseul to the trail of diamonds. Most likely, these were left by shadow Haseul for the real Haseul to guide her to their location.

As she follows the diamond trail, she goes from a green meadow to a frozen terrain covered in ice. 

Then, she arrives at the sight of the plane crash, where she sees bird Haseul. 

As she follows after them, she sees paper airplanes on the ground, as well as white bird feathers.

When she finally reaches bird Haseul, she takes one of the diamonds and shoots them down. 

But when she gets closer, she sees she actually killed a white bird. It’s raining when this happens, so the snow and ice have melted.

So, in this dream, Haseul was confronted by her dream self, her shadow; the part of herself that exists deep within her heart. But because she was focused on trying to find Yeojin, she made the hasty decision of rejecting that part of herself, which she regretted doing once she realized it wasn’t real.

I decided to do a bit of research on dream interpretation to see if there were any hidden meanings from what we see in the music video.

Keep in mind: These interpretations are just one way of analyzing these symbols; there’s a chance they could all mean something completely different in Korean culture/Asian culture.

Birds – Generally birds are a positive symbol that show us peace, freedom, harmony, balance, ideas, joy and love. Keep in mind the meaning of the dream can alter depending on the type, color, condition, number and your location of the dream. Dreaming of birds inspires us to expand our consciousness to reach new heights. These lovely messengers emerge in our dreams to encourage us to broaden our horizons, live more freely and release our fears.

Dove – A dove is a very important dream symbol because it represents strength and tranquility. Doves tend to serve a very important symbol in your dream because it might be sending you a message from another realm. If you see a dove soaring high in the air flying, you will break free from any burdens you are experiencing in your life.

(Although Haseul’s representative white bird has no specified species, it, as well as bird Haseul here, is often interpreted as being a dove, so I went ahead and put the notes here.)

Feather – If you dream of a feather, it means you need to ease up a bit. Stop being so harsh with things and enjoy life for a bit. If you dream of bird or chicken feathers it indicates you want to get away from a situation which is causing you to be agitated.

(We already know this scene represents Haseul rejecting her shadow, so I decided not to include any analysis on dreams about shooting or being shot.)

Shooting Birds – You might be shooting down things in your life that are needed.

Dead Bird –  Noticing a dead bird in your dream suggests issues taking off in your life.

Car dreams – Cars are very common yet highly symbolic dream symbols that connect you to personal transformation and current life movements. Essentially the road you drive on is metaphoric to your current path or what's ahead of you in the future. The image of the car is a manifestation of your mental and physical self that has been built up as you move along your life’s journey. 

(…) 

More than often people who dream of cars will notice the road they drive on. A possible manifestation of what is currently ahead of you is predicted in your dream, classifying as a precognitive dream foretelling events to come. The condition of the road provides you with clues that can either predict troubles or smooth sailing ahead. 

(...) 

Dreaming of being a passenger or riding in the back seat suggests not being in control of your path, or connecting you with the drives of others.

Truck – Trucks, like cars, are a means of transportation signifying from one place to another. It suggests you might be carrying a bigger load along your path in life.

Diamond – Like in your waking life, diamonds are symbolic of commitment and wealth and sometimes pride. If you receive a diamond ring or piece of jewelry it means you are ready for commitment but if the diamonds are loose it means you are not ready or you are going to be facing some difficulties in your relationship or even finances. If you are pretending you have diamonds in your dream when in fact they are false it means you are not being yourself in reality.

Ice – Ice is frozen water and so dreaming of ice symbolizes frozen emotions, your emotions have not changed towards something or someone. Dreaming of walking on ice signifies you are in control of your emotions, but you feel that any moment you are going to fall in. It could also mean that you are emotionally stable at the moment. You need to be cautious and not wear your emotions on your sleeve.

Snow – Dreaming of snow can be very symbolic, however the meaning of the dream alters depending on the contexts of the dream. 

(...) 

Traditionally, snow represents winter and the end of the growing season. During this season the top layers of the soil are completely frozen, no new growth can penetrate the surface. 

(...) 

Snow brings our awareness to the ending or death of the growing time in your life. As spring stems new growth and summer is vibrate with life, winter brings endings and hardships. 

(...) 

The saying goes “when the snow melts, we will find out what's beneath”. Snow might emerge to make you explore what you could be covering up or concealing in your life. The snow masks what is really underneath or shown to others; this is emotionally blocked by you.

Rain – The meaning of rain can alter depending on the context and mood of the dream. It could signify possible renewal, devotion, love, rebirth, renewal compassion. However the flip side could be connected with depression, sadness and emotions that are built up. In a biblical sense it might come as a metaphor for ‘washing away your sins’ or the saying ‘April showers bring May flowers’. Pouring rain might be a build up of unconscious emotions that signify a release that has taken place.

Broken airplane – If you had a dream about remains of a plane crash, then this dream represents a warning sign that you should try working on your own for a change instead of seeking help from others. Maybe you are getting too reliant on others and this won’t be good for you.

Paper airplane – To dream of a paper airplane means emotions about yourself diverting creative ability (...) Dreaming with a paper plane means your negligible interests. You are squandering time with thoughts that go no place.

...

Now let’s use what we can gather from this research and apply it to what we see in “Let Me In”.

Firstly, Haseul is sitting in the passenger’s seat as the truck drives itself to her destination, meaning she is being brought to this place not by her own conviction, and that she is carrying a lot of heavy feelings with her.

The diamonds she gathers from the trail left by bird Haseul could possibly represent a false ideal that she is cultivating by gathering them. 

When she gets ready to shoot one of the diamonds at bird Haseul, she drops some of the diamonds, which could mean she may face hardships in her relationships or friendships with others (maybe the other members?)

The green meadow she is in still has snow covering the surface, which could symbolize her true feelings that Haseul is masking through a cold demeanor. The ice furthers this notice, as well as the fact that despite her trying to keep a cool composure, her heart is still fragile and she feels she could become vulnerable if she lets her emotions get the better of her.

The paper airplanes were a bit hard to decipher at first, but I believe they could represent all of Haseul’s other thoughts that she is letting go of while on her search; she’s trying to find Yeojin, as well as the person who set out the diamond trail for her, and is focused solely on finding answers to that.

The crashed airplane remains have two meanings here; one is that it represents Haseul’s heart, and two is that it’s a subconscious warning of her own codependence on Yeojin. 

She’s always been with Yeojin; she was the one who made her feel the happiest. But now that she’s missing, she feels lost and doesn’t feel like she can turn to Heejin and Hyunjin for help, which is why she took this journey by herself.

As she follows bird Haseul, it starts to rain. I think in this context, it’s representing her sadness and all her suppressed emotions starting to spill out. The ice in her heart is melting away and making her become more vulnerable. The feathers are proof of this as well, both as a sign that she is agitated and that she needs to stop suppressing her emotions.

Finally, when she finds bird Haseul, she shoots it with one of the diamonds. The fact that her shadow/dream counterpart is represented as a bird shows that Haseul’s hasty decision to reject this part of herself will have negative consequences. The dead bird she finds after shooting her shadow is a sign that she will face more difficulties following this.

I’d say this dream definitely left an impact on Haseul’s mental and emotional state, especially since she did quite literally shoot down another version of herself.

This is also reflected in the lyrics, as they show that she is starting to go through an identity crisis.

The moon rises I eventually become you We, so different us two My heart Get colored with you ...

When I wake up from this dream in the long night Will I be you? Or will you be me? ...

Looking more like you Becoming more used to you ...

Her shadow was an ideal of who she wanted to be; someone who was emotionally calm and composed, who could handle any hardships with a stoic expression, and someone who was at peace with herself. 

But it was too perfect and idealized; Haseul herself is not perfect. 

Maybe she was angry at herself for not being able to match this ideal in her head, which is why she shot down the bird version of herself. She wanted to become this false image that wasn’t true to who she was.

This is why she sings, “Will I be you? Or will you be me?” She’s lost herself in wanting to embody this idealized self.

Haseul’s fate

So why did Haseul have this dream in the first place? Why did her shadow/mirror side counterpart call her to the dream world? I think she was trying to send Haseul a warning regarding her fate in the Moebius loop, but failed to because Haseul rejected them.

We know that the Moebius loop has trapped the girls in an endless cycle of inner turmoil, making them constantly relive painful experiences over and over. So what if what Haseul saw in the dream world was foretelling of Haseul’s fate that the time loop bound her to?

What if in every timeline, Haseul’s destination was always a path towards ruin? That an inevitable catastrophe would fall upon her, and she was forced to go through it again and again in the Moebius. And that when she rejected her shadow in the dream world, that was what seals her fate?

This was what Gowon went back in time to do in the [X X] timeline, and most likely what Olivia did in “So What” was for the same purpose; to save Haseul from ruin. 

Gowon went to the dream world and mended Haseul’s connection to her shadow, while Olivia destroyed the Moebius loop before it could be completed and solidify Haseul’s fate.

And now that she’s been saved, the only thing left for the girls to do is find her.

I can’t wait to see how Haseul’s character arc will progress when she returns. And I hope you guys enjoyed this latest theory of mine!

I actually really enjoyed going through and researching dream analysis and dream interpretation for this theory, so let me know if you guys are interested in seeing more for some of the other MVs. I actually think there are more instances of LOONA’s lore where dream analysis can be applied and it could lead to interesting discussion!

Until then, see you guys later! #WeLoveHaseul #AlwaysWithHaseul 💚🕊

Pass the happy! 🌻🌈 When you receive this list 5 things that make you happy and send this to 10 of the last people in your notifications! No pressure! 💖

Oooof, the last half year or so since my big move have been b a d so this is like an exercise in what still compels me 😂

1. First and foremost is my cat Moxie, better known as Moo. I've had her for 6 years, since the day she was born, and we are Very Attached. She is my babyyyyy 💕

2. Animal Crossing! I'm eagerly awaiting New Horizons but in the meantime there's something v comforting about New Leaf.

3. Travel! Last year I went to Japan three times!!!!! In one year! And it was amazing. I took my first solo trip and proved to myself that I'm far more capable than I tend to think. I regret not doing it sooner, not seeing more countries before leaving Korea. I want to take a trip to Canada with my friend next year and I want to plan BIGGER for a trip to Iceland - and a return to Korea and Japan trip. 💕

4. Art makes me pretty happy, I'll say. I went from subpar skills, thinking myself "untalented" and, admittedly I did things kind of backward, starting with watercolors before realizing I didn't possess the drawing skills to create what I wanted 😂 I bought myself some sketchbooks and learned how to do gestures and have tried to make a habit of drawing frequently (but I didn't all last week). I have a long way to go but I'm ENJOYING it again and don't feel so frustrated about my inabilities anymore. (Funny enough, art is not the first time I decided to teach myself something overwhelming and difficult; I've been self learning Korean too 😂) I follow a TON of art Instagram and twitter accounts and it just makes me happy to see people produce these lovely pieces of work and I hope one day I will, too!

5. Finally, I wanna say my trash shrine makes me happy. 😂😂😂 I first started listening to kpop in 2011 and my first love forever love was B1A4 lmao and I remember buying my first album in 2012. At that time my money was tight and I couldn't always afford to buy things as they released. The things I bought were precious and I saved for them. But then came a time I could more easily afford them and THEN I spent 2 years in Korea and idk it's v materialistic but also something about the accumulation if things you want and love is NICE. I'm staying with my inlaws at the time and all my belongings are in storage, but I managed to set up a tiny trash shrine with the things I acquired since and no lie, it had 200% improved my miserable spirits. 😂

Anyway, sorry for the rambling but it's early and Moo woke me wasaay too early and I'm just waiting til coffee is ready and hella rambling cos I am nothing if not loquacious and happy to talk about joyous things! Thanks for asking me! 💕

Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Hebrew, Arabic (ideally, all dialects, but Egyptian or Levantine if I had to pick)

If you could instantly be granted fluency in 5 languages—not taking away your existing language proficiency in any way, solely a gain—what 5 would you choose?

Moonshot Week 11: OMG!! OmiseGO is the Moonshot!

Moonshot Week 11: OMG!! OmiseGO is the Moonshot!

Read the tenth part of our Moonshot series, which focuses on Bread, here.

Each week BTCManager and the JaketheCryptoKing are going to explore a new moonshot opportunity. We are in week eleven of this moonshot experiment! Markets just suffered a major correction providing the perfect opportunity for some moonshot shopping at discounted prices. The moonshot for the week beginning April 8, 2018, is; OMG.

What is a Moonshot?

A moonshot is an altcoin that can yield returns multiple times greater than the leading cryptocurrencies if their roadmap deadlines are met. With over 1,400 cryptocurrencies and many ambitious goals, it is obvious there will be some true “moon” opportunities.  Moonshots can include both smaller and medium cap cryptos. These particular coins exist in the cryptocurrency marketplaces; they solely need to be found. Moonshots are very different than most cryptos as they are meant to be purchased and held. Moonshot principles are vastly different than those implemented by day traders and short-term holders. They are cryptocurrencies that you see their long-term value and expect returns of hundreds if not thousands of percent.  

The Moonshot for the week beginning April 9 is OMG. OmiseGO has a major quarter two planned with events that will both add utility to the OMG platform and also spread publicity while increasing market adoption. The biggest problem OMG is currently facing is not one caused by OMG, but the overall market correction.

OmiseGO: OMG (SDK Wallet, Plasma Speed, Proof of Stake)

OmiseGO (OMG) is the largest cap cryptocurrency that has been highlighted as a moonshot. OMG is valued at $9.50 per coin with a market cap of $970 million. OMG actually corrected less than most other altcoins in the space having fallen from a high of $24 to its current price of just under $10. What makes OMG a great opportunity is not the reality it has corrected more than 60 percent since its all-time high, but the roadmap deadlines coming up in quarter two of 2018.

The second quarter of 2018 is packed for OMG. They are planning on releasing their SDK wallet, “plasma speed,” and their Proof of Stake algorithm. OMG is based on the Ethereum platform as an ERC-20 token. Currently, there is a circulating supply of 102 million with 140 million total supply. OMG is an exchange, decentralized bank, and blockchain gateway. Quarter two of 2018 is when OMG either solidifies their relevancy or fades into oblivion.

As a moonshot, the perfect time is to get on board prior to the results of quarter two becoming clear. Before getting into why OMG will have a huge quarter two it is important to analyze who represents the OMG team. The OmiseGo team has already been recognized by Forbes in Fintech Rockstars. If the team was not impressive enough the advisors are even more impressive. The OmiseGo advisory board boasts the co-founders of Ethereum, Golem, and even Lightning Network advisors. If there was a culmination of crypto superstars in one location, it would be OMG. With a team as stacked as this, it seems evident that quarter two should be very exciting.

The model for OMG is unique as the OMG wallet application will also hold OMG tokens. OMG tokens are critical to the OMG ecosystem as the wallet users will be confirming blocks as valid and adding them to the blockchain. By holding a specified number of OMG, wallet users will earn the right to confirm blocks. The transaction fees will be distributed among the wallets that helped confirm the transaction. The greater the number of OMG held, the greater the percentage of fees a user will receive. OMG already has a predetermined utility once their wallet is being used by the populous.

The SDK wallet is on the horizon for OMG. A software developer kit (SDK) is a collection of programming functions that allow developers to code faster and more efficiently. OMG is releasing a free open-source, white label “eWallet” SDK model that allows developers to create and design their own app integrations easily. The end result will be wallets that can handle cross-platform transactions, payments, transfers and eventually reward points. Developers will now be able to develop and design their own wallets with application integrations of their choice. This will greatly increase the rate at which wallets develop for the OMG platform.

The founder of OMG tweeted that OMG’s plasma speed will “change the entire landscape” of the crypto ecosystem. Rumors are swirling that the speed with be in excess of one million transfers per second (TPS). These rumors may be a bit exaggerated, but if OMG increases speed’s beyond the majority of other cryptos, it should provide a significant catalyst for mass adoption. Plasma Speed is likely to have received its name for good reason. Sometime in quarter two, the crypto community will have a better understanding regarding how fast plasma speed actually is.

With advanced proof of stake algorithms, an SDK wallet, plasma speed, a top-tier team, and partnerships with the Thai government and McDonalds OMG seems poised to moon in 2018. Very few other cryptocurrencies have as many important events in such a short period. The market has provided an entry point significantly lower than where OMG was trading months’ prior. Quarter two should provide the numerous catalysts needed to reverse the bear market trends and allow OMG to begin its bull market rally. A market rebound some point in 2018 should only amplify the positive news of OMG in quarter two.

Samsung Galaxy S9's Reworked Default Ringtone Revealed in New Video Teaser

Visit Now - http://zeroviral.com/samsung-galaxy-s9s-reworked-default-ringtone-revealed-in-new-video-teaser/

Samsung Galaxy S9's Reworked Default Ringtone Revealed in New Video Teaser

Samsung has partnered with Icelandic composer and producer Petur Jonsson to offer an all-new Over the Horizon ringtone on the Galaxy S9 family, which is launching at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 later this month. The trend of providing the Over the Horizon default ringtone on Galaxy devices was created back in 2011, and each generation carries its own flavour of the six-note groove. But for this year, the South Korean giant has chosen Jonsson as the composer for its iconic melody.

The new default ringtone of the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ greets you with the soft tones of a single piano playing the refrain, though other instruments gradually emerge to raise the sound levels. “Delicately layering instruments, Jonsson’s minimalist arrangement takes you away on an atmospheric journey of discovery. The piece begins with the soft tones of a single piano playing the refrain. As additional instruments are gradually introduced, the sound rises to a crescendo before melting away,” the company wrote in a press note, describing the new development.

Samsung has released a video trailer to give a glimpse of what it has prepared for its next-generation Galaxy series models. The nearly four-minute-long video plays the new Over the Horizon ringtone in the background and shows several mesmerising graphics, including scenes of nature in Norway, such as misty mountains, jagged cliffs, steaming geysers, and snow-blanketed hills.

  Since the new default ringtone has some premium sound effects, we can presume that the Galaxy S9 family will sport top-end, stereo speakers. It is already rumoured that the company is providing AKG-tuned speakers on the latest Galaxy flagships to take on the competition.

That being said, we need to wait until the pre-MWC conference by Samsung that is happening on February 25 to see what all will support the new sound experience. In the meantime, you can enjoy the view by watching the video released by the company and speculate some new features of the upcoming offering.

Last year, Samsung partnered with singer Jacob Collier to introduce its revamped version of the default ringtone that was designed for the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. The ringtone was produced through a combination of multiple instruments and touched various genres.

Anyone have any decent Lo-Fi production resources?

I'm starting giving little kids music lessons. What do I do?

Is Soundcloud still the best platform for independent artists to release new music?
