Espen Sommer Eide

Let’s very briefly recap before continuing on our journey. We are trapped on a planet, orbiting a star that itself is orbiting a disc-like stellar system we call the galaxy, our Milky Way, filled with stars and gas and dust, and – at its heart – a huge black hole.

The new Norwegian Einmal Immer trio - electronics player Espen Sommer Eide, guitarist Stephan Meidell & drummer Øyvind Hegg-Lunde - opts for intuition and magic over reason and intellect, and creates sexy, hallucinogenic music. My review for Salt Peanuts: salt-peanuts.eu/record/einma...

Yes position estimate but also "zooming" in and isolating that particular sound at that spot from background noise etc...

I have also been testing to try to accomplish beamforming, do you have anything like that planned?

Amazing stuff. A challenge is the precision needed in placement in the field to make it work. How to accomplish that in cases where one does not have a football field for measurement. Any ideas?

‘If I die, I want a loud death’: Gaza photojournalist killed by Israeli airstrike Fatima Hassouna, who had been documenting war in Gaza for 18 months and was subject of new documentary, killed along with 10 members of her family

“If I die, I want a loud death. I don’t want to be just breaking news, or a number in a group, I want a death that the world will hear.”
She was about to get married; a film about her life in Gaza had just been finished.
10 of her family were killed with her.

Visited @archive.org today - what a lovely organization. I became an even bigger fan.

"Thank you, Rick James. This is Frippertronics."

One of the greatest moments on television. The Midnight Special should be taught in schools across America.

Retten gir grønt lys til statens masseovervåkning Oslo tingrett har i dag gitt Staten fullt medhold i saken om Etterretningstjenestens masseovervåkning.

Vi må aldri slutte å spørre om hvor langt staten kan gå i overvåkingen av vår digitale kommunikasjon. Dommen i Oslo tingrett åpner for en massiv overvåkningspraksis uten klare begrensninger. #nedkjølingseffekt. Takk til Stiftelsen Tinius. @jonwesselaas.bsky.social

Supposedly #Americans are mad about Trump but the only thing I'm seeing is a few dozen people at a Tesla dealership or a few hundred or maybe a couple thousand protesting cuts. Until the streets are flooded with 10s of thousands (like Budapest), my opinion is you're too damn lazy to save democracy.

A digital graphic with a blue background displaying Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The text reads: “No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.” Key words such as “No one,” “torture,” “cruel, inhuman,” and “degrading treatment or punishment” are highlighted in bold. The Human Rights Index logo, featuring a raised fist, is placed at the bottom of the image.

Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. ⚖️🌍

➡️ No one should be subjected to torture or degrading treatment. These practices have no place in a just world.

Just a quick reminder that Europe's population is twice that of USA. There is potential

Russia does not want to end the war, and the Trump administration has shown no ability to induce Russia to end the war. And so, predictably, the Trump administration blames the victim, blames Ukraine.

If you need a magical humanist break from your feed I recommend watching the films of Alice Rohrwacher. Just watched Happy as Lazzaro. Excellent as always.

Antydninger og skyggespil Verdensteatret vil ikke pege og fortælle I forestillingen Flat Sun efterlades publikum mystificerede.

På bagskærmen ser vi fødder gå rundt i det som tilsyneladende er en stenørken, men underlaget gynger, og vand trænger op nedefra. En underlig, hvid genstand, måske med magiske kræfter, begynder at spille en rolle. Ny tekst @vagant1988.bsky.social www.vagant.no/verdensteatr...
