The Right tries to turn virtue and empathy into weak, negative traits.

Hope the EU countries can put aside their differences and stand with Canada and the rest of the sane world against the Trump administration.

Many people will be happy that Maduro is gone, but a criminal kidnapping and putting another criminal on trial is a dangerous game. If Trump gets away with it, he will not stop there. The world is being carved up by ruthless psychopaths.

Interesting way to reimagine emergent phenomenon, providing new avenues to explore in relation to my NetWorks algorithm.

Invocation XV, by Shawn Bell from the album NetWorks XII: Inventions & Invocations

“Invocation XV,” is the 33rd piece from “NetWorks XII: Inventions & Invocations.”

Refinements to the NetWorks algorithm, including a preliminary exploration of top-down constraints on the nodes are providing excellent results. Headphones are recommended. Ambisonic techniques were used in the mix.

Invention XVII, by Shawn Bell from the album NetWorks XII: Inventions & Invocations

Refinements to the NetWorks algorithm, including a preliminary exploration of top-down constraints on the nodes are providing excellent results. Musical information is now channeled and transformed recursively as it flows through the network both across nodes but now also up and down between levels.

NetWorks is a non-AI, generative algorithm that seeks to tap into the creativity of complex, self-organizing systems.

“Invocation XIII” consists of eight interacting voices. The covarying relationships between musical attributes result in organically evolving performances.
