This is a good one. Intriguing and engaging combination of environmental, narrative sound and pitched 'musical' sounds. Very precise focus of material in 5 very different pieces. The last and longest 'walking tune' is an homage to and uses material from Australian maverick composer Percy Grainger to fine effect - featuring also much documentary sound en route. A beautifully conceived and balanced piece of work. (Interesting to hear alongside Jon Rose's (ReR) 'Perks' by the by). Highly Recommended.
For an electric orchestra of 42 sound producing modules... violin scrape and pizzicato type sounds mostly, piling up like the sounds of amplified rain on a resonant roof. Then another piece, similar but with tunnel reverb, motorcycles and other sounds added. A second version of this with different, longer sounds added and for only one string player with gated reverb. A seventies classic by one of the unfileable composers who changed the rules. With notes and diagrams by the author written in 1999.
A sonic snapshot of Havana, consisting mostly of excellent field recordings (markets, police, Mardi Gras, street cleaning, Castro and bad dubbing on TV, streets at night, water pumps, bars, parks, museums, flamenco - with music everywhere... as well as one electroacoustic work (which Cuba has been producing for many years, though it is seldom heard outside). Eccentric metallic booklet. Altogether a fascinating release in the still narrow field of soundscape.
64pp A5 flatbound booklet with CD. The book consists of interviews made in small villages in Burkino Faso. Bosetti plays noise/music (Derek Bailey, Hugh Davis, Berio, Parch, Messaien, Yoshihide, Lucier, Chion, Parmegiani &c.) individually (via headphones) to people of all ages - who have never heard anything remotely like this before - and asks them first what they hear - eliciting the most extraordinary, elaborate, graphic and mystifying responses - and then what they make of it: whether it's music and what music is, &c. This is deep matter and the answers are sometimes luminous and always fascinating. It's rare to escape so completely from our own cultural frames of reference, and instructive how possible it is, notwithstanding, to approach and share experiences and concepts on the apparently fragile ground of language (even when that ground is compromised through interpretation). What is common as well as what is alien is made manifest and, above all, a kind of mental hospitality that seems hardwired is revealed. Bosetti is very sharp and accurate in his accompanying footnotes and doesn't mythologize or idealise. He is perfectly aware of his inescapable role as outsider and of the quasi parasitical relationship between white strangers like himself - neither tourists nor administrators -and indigents who know and will supply - for complex sets of motives - what they think is wanted of them. Many levels of information and of misunderstanding are at play here and they shift and elide as you read. Each short interview is accompanied by photographs of the people or the locality and a list of the specific music played. The CD is gripping - it's worth buying the book for alone. Made of the voices and vocal sounds of the questionees, imitations and musical sounds (Western and local) and the proximate soundscape - variously raw and processed - and brilliantly organised into a form that is like nothing I have heard before. I can't recommend it too strongly. But that's me. PLUS POSTAGE.
Small edition recordings of the earth's interior, taken from digital seismographs located around the planet. Since the true frequencies are extremely low, they have to be sped up considerably to bring them into the range of human audibility. There are 3 tracks, the first, at 2450x acceleration, captures an unbroken month, the second, at 10,000 x , about 4.5 months and the last, at 245x, three days around the December 2004 tsunami. You mostly hear earthquakes - and there are a lot of them at varying amplitudes - as pops, cracks and roars set in a constant sussurus that is the ocean's waters moving. It's stereophonic because the earth is round and the seismographs are far apart. The booklet notes are excellent, full and highly informative, and include the 'scores', showing the extraordinary frequency of events. Triple gatefold digi-pack. For total immersion or ambiance. An essential soundscape document.
This essential piece of history at last reissued, redesigned and repackaged. Keystone works from the various streams of musique concrete, electronic music, soundscape, electroacoustics and plunderphonics - including two masterworks from Eastern Europe, a territory traditionally overlooked in collections of this medium. It comprises: John Oswald's 'Parade', a complex work drawn and extended from Satie's celebrated ballet composition of 1917; Georg Katzer's monumental 'Aide Memoire' ('7 nightmares from the 1000 year night'), a terrifying document of collage, electronic manipulation, original composition and sound documents from 1933-45; Lutz Glandien's exquisitely economical, sonically powerful and surprising 'Es Lebe' for Tape and Tuba; Steve Moore's groundbreaking 'A Quiet Gathering' (chamber music for environmental sounds) - a multi-layered 22 minute work made only from captured non-musical materials; Jaroslav Kr_ek's miniature electronic gem based on nightingale songs and the proto-plunder legend 'Ommagio a Jerry Lee Lewis' by Richard Trythall. An indispensable collection in my view.
Originally made for the legendary but short-lived Resonance FM, this is a collection of the sounds that Londoners chose when asked for their favourite London Sound. It's a soundscape of the City that has the benefit of hundreds of ears. One should be made for every Capital. Personally I would say this is a document not to miss, bringing out so much not only about London, but also about the way that memory works and how sound can mean. Beautifully compiled and intelligently presented. This is a template for further work. With notes and pictures.
In 2004 Peter took a field trip out to lake Baikal to record the ice breaking up (it's a dramatic annual event) and to make an aural document of the environs (port, jettys, generators, the trans-siberian express, settlements &c.). These are beautifully recorded sound-in-time snapshots, with excellent visual co-documentation. Such works belong nowhere and begin to constitute a new genre; this is one of the pioneering works in that genre.
Welcome release from this subtle but complex composer-performer-instrument designer. More than musical, these are dramatic constructions with environmental sound, birdsong, conversation, narrative... the guitar shop section of "two small boys go shopping" is a masterpiece.. A record hard to describe since it deftly side-steps all the usual categories.
An experiment in listening. These compositions are an offshoot of the daily soundscape programme I ran for Resonance FM radio between July 2001-2002, which consisted of commissioned real-time recordings made all around the world between 23.30 and midnight GMT (the time of the broadcast). This CD begins with material from these broadcasts confecting, as it were, two composites of the Earth and a few of its inhabitants, somewhat analogous to what an impossible satellite ear with pinpoint acuity might hear in transit - plus one ear-cleaning stretch between them, taken from a single hear-point. I have tried to make these pieces both open and to work on parallel levels: not only do they have their own narrative and aesthetic qualities, but I hope they also offer a meditation on listening and not listening, interpretation and structure, chance and microphonics. The list of ears around the world who supplied basic material is too long to print here, but it includes many names familiar from these catalogues, and many from the still young soundscape and phonograpic community. Full details of people and places are given in the booklet, along with artwork and thorough notes. You have to trust me on this, it's a really engaging record. Sometimes unbelieveable. I don't think you'll regret giving it a chance.
A companion to 'Twice around the Earth, 'There and Back Again' uses 44 environmental recordings to explore - amongst other things - the way memory works, and how the experience of passing time is constructed. Mainly it's just meant to be good to listen to: surprising, serendipitous, mundane - but alien, the commonplace transfigured - an agglomeration of inadvertent sounds made haphazardly by the world and some of its inhabitants that were never meant to survive, and certainly not to be listened to repeatedly. And yet - they seem to add up. I listened to this many times and it keeps changing, though it can't. I don't understand it, but I like it. As a whole it's very different from 'Twice', though both share some locations (taken at different points) making reading across the two CDs another dimension of listening.
Someone had to do it. Subtitled recordings of architectural acoustics, this is a series of earth hum, pulse, soft roaring sounds, white noise, subsonics, low frequency whistlings &c. which - probably - capture spaces. Unfortunately there is no documentation at all, so the result is rather like early Berhard Gunther: intriguing sound but nothing beyond the sound. A pity because the idea is interesting - and the sound too: although monotonous, it is so complex that it envelopes the ear and somehow endlessly recreates itself. Documentation, documentation, gentlemen. The current habit of not telling the poor listener anything may seem like art but I find it mildly insulting. We may be consumers, but you could still treat us as human beings. And that means communication. Maybe in this case I am too harsh, here, I suspect the idea was to leave the enigma, the mystery, to do the work. And maybe that's OK. But I still think this was an opportunity missed - or a subtitle misapplied. The main title takes on an interesting meaning in the light of the 'nothing' that is happening sonically. To me, this is a very interesting CD (and only a CD could deliver these sounds); shame about the missing information.
Paradigm continues to uncover important fragments of the historic record. Bob Downes was everywhere on the musical fringes of the '60s, and his own 'Open Music' with Barry Guy and Denis Smith was part of the furniture of the time. Here, he and Wendy Benka with an orchestra of flutes, hammer dulcimer, marimba, gongs, percussion, jew's harp, saxophone, electronics, feedback, public telephones, water pump, zither, wind gong, cello, crystal glass vase, snail shells and tablas, produce an airy semi-electronic music - originally commissioned for dance, and released on Downes' own Openian label in 1974. What makes it especially interesting is the ground it explores between acoustic and electronic musics: all the sounds are processed, using the limited equipment available at the time, but with a great deal of inventiveness - and imagination will trump outboard computing power every time. Re-mastered from the original tapes, adding 7 extra tracks made between 1972 -2005 (one using only New York Public telephones, au naturel).
An unfolding of soundscapes made around Dartmoor. Beautifully done and great listening. Limited supply it's not a regular shop CD, though it is properly pressed and dressed, with good track data (and horrible grant-speak blurb that you can ignore; you have to talk this way to get money from ignorant and philistine funding bodies today). A fine and exemplary piece of soundwork.
Soundscapes from 3 cities, painstakingly collected and assembled by a pro. How unreal can real be?. Gems in a narrow and still conflicted field; these are models of the form. (Frankfurt binaural). Excellent.
The author of the groundbreaking Chaos and the Emergent Life of the Pond (an '80s soundscape classic) and inventor of many highly specialised microphones, here reveals another unexpected and complex sonic universe, that of the navigable layers between the outer bark and the inner xylem of a single species of American pine. It's a world that bustles with an amazing variety of noisy life as it goes about its (mostly destructive) business. The main players are pinyon engraver beetles (size: about one rice grain), though there are walk-on parts for other species. What is extraordinary - and this is the aesthetic point of the recording - is how varied, intense and mysterious this soundworld is. Superficially similar to some of the more radical 'small sound' sampling experiments released in the last years, this CD offers both a more interesting and a more meaningful experience; it's subtle, but you can hear the purposiveness and the life of these sounds, a dimension wholly lacking in the narrow world of samples, glitches and algorithms. And these are sounds inaudible to the human ear, however close you approach their source. A fascinating work, it comes with a serious and excellent essay by Dunn on the ecology and possible significance of the sounds, and the technical details of their capture and collage.
The CD is an early pure collection of unmediated and beautifully recorded world soundscapes, natural rather than urban. The subtitle says it all: 'A guide to listening in nature'. Released by Acoustic Ecology themselves, this is a statement of a base position. The book, a 98pp paperback A5 is a mixture of practical notes, description and acoustic ecology manifesto. It's important for that. But things have got more complicated since. Still this is the groundwork. And beautifully done.
78pp A5 flat-bound magazine with excellent articles about auscultation (medical listening) and touch; night listening, EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena - 'spirit voices' found on recordings) as well as essays on sound mapping cities, Dartmoor's bells, sonic shock and the unconscious (1890-1990) and other topics. The first 10 pieces on the accompanying CD accompany the essay on Dartmoor's Bells, the remaining 17 feature 'disappearing soundmarks'. A soundmark is the sonic analogue of a landmark; a sound of significance and importance to a given community in a given locality. Not available commercially.
Fourth in this excellent series of bell soundcapes. Recordings from Sardinia (including some traditional song and many sheep), Venice (St Marco on a wet Sunday), Copenhagen (the carillon through rain and traffic), Lapland (all manner of bells from bellmaker Alvi Ruonala mixed with Arctic soundscapes) and Japan (temple bells). There is also a track for Oud and modified bell recordings, and the tolling of the Peace Bell in Hiroshima on the 60th anniversary of the American devastation of that city in 1945. With a silent crowd of 60,000, and a textile factory of busy cicadas.
A composition made from soundscape recordings of a 'water zither' - an artefact made of ceramic and bamboo, found in Japanese gardens which amplifies and accentuates the tone and pitches of water as it drips from a stone basin. This continuous 60-minute recording, which goes nowhere and sounds perfectly natural, recreates a hyper-real version of a Japanese garden, with ostinato crickets and modulating resonant dripping. Sun and water.
See text about Volume 2 for general notes. This CD opens in a village in Tuscany with a flock of sheep coming down from the hills, lingers in Finland in and out of a small church, continues on to a mountain village in Greece in the middle of a noisy festival and then moves to France where we hear the Angelus in three very different locations, close, far, urban, rural, mountainous, coastal - filled with atmosphere and detail; you can smell it and see it.
What is says on the label. These are beautifully recorded bells set in open soundscapes. Not only bells, though they are always at the centre. One of the most ubiquitous soundmarks, dominating the European landscape for over 1000 years, bells regulated rural life. Nothing else of human making was so powerful, symbolic and universal. And somehow they still retain something of their extraordinary authority. The have true voices and more resemble the natural sounds of thunder, rain, the sea, animals and birds than today's more dominating traffic, machinery, helicopters, sirens and leaking tinned tones. On this CD we hear church and cathedral bells - from Olso and Turku, a Mayday carillon, street bells from a carnival in rural Italy, and the massed bells worn by participants in the goat dance in Skyros, Greece (where each member of a large procession carries 60 pounds of them). Along with the bells come, variously, birds, some traffic, church choirs, handbells, pedestrians, hot air balloons, the Mayday street parade with bands, protestors and celebrants and strolling musicians. With all the richness and engulfing quality that the best location recording can capture. Pretty glorious. Nice packaging.
The third in the series moves into the more musical use of bells, specifically in Accra, Ghana, in the por por music invented by timber truck drivers and played still by members of the Accra minibus drivers union -hence the frequent appearance of (bulb) car horns. Many of the pieces here also include mbira, zither, one-string lute, saxophone, double reed instruments and all manner of other percussion. This is more of an ethno-musicological than a soundscape collection, but we include it since it is part of a series.
Ferrari is a past master, and was one of the very first to make whole works with environmental sounds. The compositions here are all built from field recordings (inc. Spanish museum, Bullring, Theatre and Concert rehearsals, grape harvest, rural village, container port, cement factory and so on), unused electronic materials from Ferrari's library and fragments of interviews with young women (also from his archive). It works.
Nicely assembled CD of storms, environments, bassoon in a forest of noises, telephone exchanges, weather, mysterious presences, machinery, foregrounded backgrounds and strange mini-dramas. Original, organic and Intelligent.
Luckily you can now buy the CDs that accompany the wildly expensive MIT Leonardo journal separately. This CD came with Vol 16, it's a soundscape compilation by Peter Cusack's that sweeps across the field, taking in an empty concert hall in Chenobyl, a super-close-up recording of fire ants walking, data sonification, real-time street recordings (Delaurenti's impressive and brilliant republican convention documentation), the electromagnetic environment (Kubisch, Stankieviech), some sonic postcards, underwater recordings and other field work. An excellent and useful release, with some real gems - and a useful a snapshot-overview of the field as it stood in 2006.
Fourth in this unusual series of place recordings capturing sounds from the region of Savoie, this one centred on the bell foundry at Paccard. Machines, the forge, the tuning room organised both in raw soundscapes and in transformed listening pieces. Interesting and fresh.
The real Elevator Music.16 exemplary tracks of (mostly Parisian) lifts in La Defense, Radio France, La Villette and the Metro, plus a pedestrian tunnel in Anvers and the Unilodge building in Melbourne. A great example of where less is definitely more. A classic.
A further chapter in the series that explores ubiquitous and ignored aspects of the (mostly public) architectural soundscape; this time it's ventilation units in France. Eric has recorded some 30 different units, in hospitals, at Radio France, the Pasteur Institute, the Centre Pompidou, in a library, a restaurant, an apartment and at the Cite de la Musique. These sites span 50 years of construction and very different acoustics. Each extract is two minutes long and runs directly into the next (though they are separately track-marked). At the beginning and end, calibration tracks collapse all 30 recordings into one minute. Eric has consciously sequenced the 30 recordings with aesthetic intent, but he also says that 'this CD is intended to be an object without distinctive function'. It is certainly a recording that fulfils many different functions, documentary, architectural and aesthetic. It also changes radically according to what level it is played at, and what aural - or philosophical - work it is asked to do.
The first CD presents a re-mastered version of the original Folkways release Travelon Gamelon - music for amplified bicycles. The street and concert hall versions (1979-82) presented there are augmented here with a previously unissued concert version from New Zealand, recorded in 1986. This collection is interesting as much for the juxtaposition of street (environmental) and concert hall recordings as for its documentation of an idea that may well otherwise have been lost. Though many people used bicycles as musical instruments - playing the spokes, mostly - not least Frank Zappa, no one else to my knowledge took the idea so far. The second CD presents a number of other works from a prolific but low profile career, all of them built around electronically modified performances, and includes a very early proto-plunderphonic piece (1963/4: the source sounds are records by Stan Kenton and Mahler, respectively). There is also a modified soundscape work (1980) that uses live feeds from the street processed in real time through a double tape-machine 8 track loop. Other works use processes or homebuilt contraptions to evolve musical form. The accompanying booklet is substantial, useful and well annotated - and includes a small gallery of pictures (colour and b/w) with descriptions of various other installations and performance structures by Lerman not represented on the CDs. A useful release, because it documents an already forgotten artist and adds to the picture of the inspirations and DIY lo-tech approaches to sound - and the organic approach to structure - that was important, especially in America, in the 1960s.
Here are five pieces centred around environmental recordings by five authors: Hans Ulrich Werner, Carlos Alberto Augusto, Christoph Korn, Michael Rusenberg and Carlos Zingaro. Werner's piece, with sound by Michael Rusenberg, is a video montage of street scenes, art shots and urban sounds, Augusto's an audio work (in stereo and 5.1 surround) with some additional guitar, Korn adds violin (by Carlos Zingaro) to an ambient working around a street musician, with visuals in the form of carefully crafted, related, text, Rusenberg's is a long, excellent, soundwork taken at a river jetty by a giant bridge (with added percussion orchestra, choir and occasional narration), Zingaro works with abstract facades and distressed walls, aurally and visually represented. 80+ minutes, half in a choice of 4.00, 5.00 and 5.1 audio.
A 2 hour, 47 minute aural journey along the length of the Donau, Europe's second longest river that runs from Germany through Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania, finally winding out into the Black Sea, collaged from recordings made during 5 trips in 3 years by Annea Lockwood, one of the early sound pioneers (soon to be 70). It's a work that has the pace and wisdom one would like to hope age will confer. As water seen day by day, water heard too constantly mutates, bound into the sounds around it: fields, settlements, insects, birds, boats and bells; it takes its own time, navigating endless bends and the occasional lock or weir. These are intimate recordings made from the banks, sometimes dipping beneath the surface of the water. Thirteen short interviews appear en route (translated in the accompanying documentation), but mostly the river just rolls on, endlessly changing. It's a joy. These are sounds graven into our genes and speak to ancient human instincts; they collapse a fleeting sense of linear time into an ageless, endless present. Men may come and men may go, but I go on forever, as we all learned in school (at least we did when poetry was thought of as something of value). There's also a foldout map, and useful notes. It's not art, but then art isn't everything. Or perhaps, if art is the transfiguration of time, this is art; just a new kind of art. PS. What this work is not is a sound map of The Danube - a river that runs through several capital cities and many large and small conurbations. So far as possible Lockwood avoids anything indicating urban life or anything that would let you know it was not still the C18. What is human is mostly represented in the ubiquitous sound of near or distant bells. This CD is deeper and more primal than a mere collation of documentary sounds.
What it says on the package. This is a sustained, apparently untreated and unmixed recording (the notes are ambiguous) of the ever-present wind that agitates the vast emptinesses of Patagonia in winter. Gusts, flurries, squalls, zephyrs, darts and screamers ebb and flow, like a sea under changing weather; indeed the ear cannot always tell to which element it is listening. Wind is the bane of recordists, they try as a rule to avoid it at all costs, so a whole CD of wind is itself a polyvalent signifier - oh dear, yes, here comes a contradiction: for a man who has made a career of 'blind' listening there is a surprisingly exhaustive superstructure of supporting theory and guidance here in the paratextual appurtenances (sorry the language is catching); in a dense little essay we are told how to listen and how intellectually to interpret not only the sounds captured - but the overarching work itself, as an art enterprise. Even the sublime rears its hoary head. I have nothing against information, even - in some contexts - interpretation, but here it seems to detract from the elemental fact of the sound itself. Piling up the heady language that hangs like a cloud around contemporary art - functioning, it appears, as a kind of legitimation-by-contagion - does seem rather to undermine the project, since it renders hollow Lopez's own protestations about 'pure... listening... freed... of procedural, contextual or intentional levels of reference'. I don't complain about the essay or its opinions, only about the seeming bad faith of its inclusion, given Lopez's oft repeated desire to strip away all but the act of hearing. And Lopez's own notes - in the context of this whole package - seem incomprehensibly perverse if you really try to take them seriously. However. Enough. We talk about the CD and the sound it embodies is what it is and creates its own space in its own recognisance. It's an important document - and its completely blank label is its best explicator.
CDR release. Here eight people around the world record for 30 minutes at the same world time, in the UK, USA, India, Japan, New Zealand and Brasil. The time runs continuously, and never more than 2 of the recordings are heard together. Birds, buses, crowds, interiors, water, Indian television and the human body. An interesting project with an engaging, rather hectic, but mysterious result. Lets the sounds be.
Very nice work consisting of environmental/musical recordings. Some will remember his work from our Quarterlies. Here he records in a cave in the Pyrenees, a flooded and frozen field in Somerset, a stone vault at Cluny Abbey and features his own slate and bass slate marimbas, fired earth percussion, leather soles, ersatozophone and clapping inside large pots. Very nice work indeed. CDR edition.
Four nicely recorded and very substantial soundscapes: forest dripping, oceanic, night birds and frogs but that of course omits the grain and essence of these engrossing and finely chosen selections. In a paper cover and tiny edition, it comes with no useful notes (a modern vice that is supposed to mean something, but which I find rather pointless, especially since it's worth saying something about these excellently judged pieces. Limited Supply.
It may be simply packed in a folding cardboard cover, but this is a remarkable piece of work using a massive amount of exquisitely recorded environmental sound (more or less exclusively taken in the Chabrieres forest) to construct 10 very different pieces, based variously on minerals, plants, animals, gestures, the sky, fire, twilight, night and water. Slipping from unprocessed to processed natural sound, this is as much a sound composition as a document - actually much more: there is musical intelligence constantly at work. And some of the sounds of the world are beyond anything electronic (the low rumble of an underground explosion, for example). This moves me for one. An exemplary piece of work.
Now in his mid forties Petr Vasa, formerly of banned group Z Kopce, and later Osklid (both formerly on our Points East distribution lists) has, since 1990, been elaborating his idea of Physical poetry - its roots in Futurism, Dada and, more precisely, the recording/vocal experiments of the '60s French New Realism - in a way both original and persuasive. These are situational, abstract performances or events using vocal sounds made in unpredictable environments - a busy street, a lift, an aquarium, a sewer, a railway crossing, pub, aviary, train station; by the sea, accompanying a chair and linoleum, with coffee pot and telephone, &c. Plus a handful of unaccompanied pieces. Altogether an important - and unusually recent - addition to the catalogue of extended concrete/poetry experiments that takes in noise, music and soundscape and manages to sound both stranger and more engaging than a great deal of more complex, electronically mediated work. An exemplary record; highly recommended. The CD also contains 3 strange movie documentations of Petr at work with traffic, helicopters, doors and some heavy road building equipment.

77 and a half minutes in and around Modena with Tiziano - in the streets, restaurants, hospital, school, market, railway station, cemetery, cinema, park, supermarket, swimming pool and many of the piazzas that dot the city. Those who have the other 7 of Tiziano's regional phonograph albums will want this - and those who don't could start here. Nice cover too.
Aaron Zim, Chris Watson, Costa Grohn, Dallas Simpson, Daniel Knef, Derek Holzer, Gabi Schaffner, Jen Morris, Lassse-Marc Riek, Maksim Shentelev, Markus Obst, Marek Brandt, Robert Curgenven, Roland Etzin, Yannic Dauby present a collection of field recordings, urban and industrial.
Highly limited edition from Norsk Kulturad of exactly what the label says: field recordings on the mountains - with a lot of weather - of environments with Vibraphone near, far, inaudible - colouring the air. Highly unusual, and very successful.
Did you sing this for a Grieg? subtitled 'a landscape portrait of the artist 86 years on'. A highly interesting environ/plunder project contrasting minute 'empty' listening (to snow, mountain walks, ancient voices) with simultanious 'tidal' auditions of Grieg's lyric, orchestra, vocal and piano musics. One of a kind.
A fine collection of early Japanese electronic and concrete works made between 1965-1979, mostly at the Utrecht Institute of Sonology and the legendary Princeton Music Centre. The (excellent) earliest piece, like Stockhausen's first studies, is made entirely from sine waves, while the rest feature the increasing inclusion of environmental recordings. The last composition, City Visit, made in 1979 - which occupies 40 minutes of the whole CD - consists entirely of New York urban soundscape recordings without additional treatments or processing - a fascinating portrait of the city, and an important contribution to the history of soundscape phonography. A valuable release.
84pp A5 flatbound book of documentation, photographs and reflective texts accompanies a CD of environmental recordings made over a long period in one place and edited together. Very thorough documentation of sounds, which put what sounds often like nothing very remarkable into a different perspective when read. There are dramatic moments too and the recording quality is high.
Produced by the touring exhibition of sound environments, this presents one CD of environmental recordings of sounds typical to the island (favourite sounds of Harris and Lewes), a CD of further, more idiosyncratic event recordings and a lot of poetry read by children (an acquired taste but essential to get the funding I'm sure) and a CD that consists of a guided walk across Ness and Northon machair and includes (as the booklet proudly proclaims) the call of the Corncrake. The full colour book gives plenty of useful background as well as documenting the landscape, the sites and the local flora and birdlife.
Pieces based on a 'procedural score' for composition with environmental sounds. The title track, made in 1967 is a very early environmental composition and is fascinating, as well as being of historical significance. All the other works are later orchestrations evolved out of different readings or electronic analyses of this one recording, three electronic and one for acoustic instruments, all of them mostly drone-centred. For me, the acoustic piece is far and away the best. In fact this 1980 work and the original 1967 recording, are reason enough to buy this CD.
15 new slices of the world from the unique and independent phonography.org - a dedicated meeting-point and showcase for field recordings - sound photography, as it were. From various places in the world come sounds of sports crowds, traffic, radiators, Chinese trains, ferries, tourism, security systems, malfunctioning domestic appliances, &c. 'They laughed at Christopher Columbus when he said the earth was round, they laughed when Edison recorded sound'.(Ira Gershwin) - and now look. This is serious work, but then I'm a fan.
Another 19 sound photographs of places, weather, animals, insects, urban and exotic locations. These are not snapshots but high grain, perfectly lit, carefully framed art pieces; their effect is seldom literal, often abstract, but they nonetheless carry the authority of the real which they embody. Seventh in this luminous enterprise.
Sound artist Lauren Weinger documents and reworks one of her large scale installation events in giant grain silos in America. The massive sounds of gargantuan hoppers pouring grain, documentary moments of dialogue, local, archive and composed musics, mysterious traces of a country, a culture, an event - where 2 Americas meet. Beautiful packing. Plus extra Video track (& software, if required, to play it). A unique document and powerful listening. For a very limited time (last orders September 25-2002) both are available in advance and will come with a small folio of extra subscription only materials. ReR Record club will receive this edition automatically.For a very limited time (last orders September 25, 2002) both are available in advance and will come with a small folio of extra subscription only materials.

An interesting electroacoustic collection by soundscape specialist HW, using excellent field recordings, realtime performance and electronic manipulations. Especially successful are 'A walk through the city', Fantasie for Horns (exquisite) and 'Beneath the Forest Floor'. Unusual and tightly focused works.
Three full length pieces by one of the early researchers for Murray Schaffer's 1970s World Soundscape project. She went on to become a founder member of the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology, and editor of its magazine Soundscape. This is only her second full CD. Assembled from field recordings made on numerous trips to India, it is filled with sounds both sacred and profane: street-vendors, insects, stone-cutters, film music, traffic, street musicians, snake-charmers, railways, individual instruments, chanting, temple bells, water, and voices.
Another landmark release from paradigm. Assembled between 1969-1971 this visionary work uses multiple recorded power station, factory and machine sounds (as well as air raids, radio noise, the Apollo landing, a Saturn rocket launch, the sea, body-sounds, exotic musics, a Palestrina mass and voices) to construct a dense, grounded, complex, organic and powerful unfolding of the clash - or infatuation - between humanity and technology as it was manifested in the white heat of technology/nuclear terror/Frankenstein years of the late '60s ands '70s. Aesthetically informed by the dreams of futurism and early modernism, and by the revolutions of electronic and musique concrete, this makes the industrial musics of the mid '70s through the laptop era seem rather one-dimensional. Get there early

Aker Solutions Awarded Umbilicals Contract for Uaru Project Offshore Guyana
The deal covers the supply of more than 50 km of dynamic and static subsea umbilicals.
Aker Solutions will provide subsea umbilicals for the ExxonMobil-operated Uaru project in the Stabroek Block offshore Guyana.
The Norwegian engineering company will deliver three dynamic and seven static umbilicals totaling more than 52 km in length. Project execution, engineering, and manufacturing will begin immediately at its facility in Mobile, Alabama, with delivery planned for the first quarter of 2026.
“We are excited by the award of the Uaru umbilical system, and to continue our relationship with ExxonMobil in Guyana, following the previous awards of the Payara and Yellowtail umbilical," said Maria Peralta, executive vice president and head of Aker Solutions' subsea business.
The company described the contract as sizeable, with a value ranging between NOK 0.5 billion and 1.5 billion.
The ExxonMobil-led consortium that includes Hess and CNOOC International sanctioned the $12.7 billion Uaru development in April. The project will have a production capacity of 250,000 BOPD at its peak and is the consortium’s largest and most expensive project in the region.
TechnipFMC recently landed the contract to supply the project’s subsea production systems. MODEC and Saipem also landed contracts for the Uaru project’s floating production, storage, and offloading vessel and subsea installation, respectively.
Aker Solutions also was recently awarded a sizeable contract by TotalEnergies to provide its deepwater standard subsea production systems for three additional infill wells tied back to the Moho Nord field offshore the Republic of Congo. Final deliveries of the systems are scheduled for the first quarter of 2025.

For the first time, the family of Frank Young is speaking out about the five-year-old’s disappearance.
Going on day 28 of the search, Frank is still not found. He was last seen in his home community of Red Earth Cree Nation on April 19.
“Frank used to love playing outside with neighbourhood children,” said Frank’s grandmother Teresa Whitecap. “He was creative. He was fun-loving.… Frank took pride in making things for his caregiver, Barb. He was so proud of the things he made for her.”
She says the family is overwhelmed with worry and grief but is grateful for the support they have received and continue to receive to help bring home little Frank.
“The day that Frank went missing, everybody acted right away,” said Whitecap. “Ever since day one when Frank went missing, we (became) a family. My family are very strong … we come together as one.”
A candlelight vigil occurred on the evening of May 15 in Prince Albert where many have shown support for the family and community.
The Red Earth Cree Nation and its neighbouring community Shoal Lake Cree Nation are banding together to support the family in finding Frank.

“At the moment, we are currently waiting for a response from the rangers for additional support for search and rescue,” said Red Earth Cree Nation Chief Fabian Head. “Despite this being day 28, we still view this as a rescue mission.… We will not stop until we find Frank.”
Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) Chief Bobby Cameron is calling for the Saskatchewan premier and the prime minister to assist with resources in this ongoing search.
“We want to do a call-out, request and expectation to Prime Minister (Justin) Trudeau and Premier Scott Moe to support us and send your resources, to send the army (and) the rangers,” said Cameron. “There’s a lot of fatigue that has transpired the last month from the searchers.”
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe addressed reporters following Monday’s Question Period and said the province will do what they can to help with resources to assist in the ongoing search.
“There has been additional resources provided thus requested by the RCMP as well as the involvement of the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency,” said Premier Moe. “If these additional requests are required, ultimately, we will endeavor to do what we can do to provide those.”
A spokesperson for the Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) provided an email response stating that Red Earth Cree Nation has requested mental health supports from Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) and additional therapists are providing support to the community. ISC stated they will remain committed to assisting Red Earth Cree Nation during this trying time.
“Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) continues to work alongside the community to ensure that appropriate levels of mental wellness supports are readily available as the residents of Red Earth and surrounding communities require,” stated Nicolas Moquin. “Resources are available through the Emergency Management Assistance Program and relevant information on how to access interim community supports has been shared with the First Nation and Prince Albert Grand Council. This will help to ensure the community receives the supports and assistance they need during this very trying time.”
Red Earth Cree Nation is located more than 200 kilometres east of Prince Albert, Sask.


Would electric machinery make public works quieter?A pilot project is being carried out this summer to compare pollutant emissions and noise levels generated by electric machinery with those generated by the usual diesel units. The project will last for five weeks, during work to replace drainage pipes for pavements in C/ Balmes and Av. Esplugues.
Specifically, the project will determine levels of pollutant emissions, improvements in noise levels and the energy consumption of two types of machinery. The results will allow for an assessment of the technological feasibility of working with electric machines and approving a regulation, whereby specific clauses in tendering works include the gradual introduction of less pollutant machinery as an important factor in awarding contracts.
The pilot project is the result of collaboration with companies involved in these works: Aigües de Barcelona (works promotor), Sorigué (execution of work), Germans Homs (machinery provider) and Wacker Neuson (machinery manufacturer).
The project is also part of the strategy to improve air quality and reduce noise in the city, in line with the goals in the Programme of Measures against Noise Pollution, the Programme of Measures against Air Pollution and the Climate Emergency declaration.
The idea is for construction machinery in the city to become increasingly quieter, more respectful towards people’s surroundings and more environmentally sustainable.


Lajzer survived Bataan Death March
Updated 7:42 pm, Monday, March 18, 2013
Joseph D. Lajzer, who survived the Bataan Death March, died Saturday at 94.
The Toledo, Ohio, native was described by family members as a patriotic man who always thought of others before himself.
With the encouragement of his wife, the late Adelina Lopez Lajzer, he wrote a book about his experiences as a prisoner of war called “3.6 Years of Hell.”
His war experiences changed his life, said his son Sidney J. Lajzer, and left him with nightmares until late in life. But he became more comfortable in his later years talking about the hardships he faced as a prisoner.
In his book, he recounted about several episodes as a prisoner, including a meal of “hotcake and hash” served on Christmas in 1941.
“I didn't like the hash, but it tasted good that Christmas Day,” Lajzer wrote.
Family members said he chose to sell the book by word of mouth rather than through bookstores. They said he re-ordered the publications three times, selling thousands of copies.

At book signings, he autographed every book “be proud, be free,” family said.
Lajzer was rescued from captivity in 1945, weighing only 84 pounds. He also had a knee wound that required medical treatment.
After serving in the U.S. Army, he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force. He continued to live in San Antonio after his discharge from the Air Force, working as a mechanic supervisor on jet engines at Kelly AFB.
Better known as “Joe” to his family and friends, Lajzer took up many hobbies after retirement, including gardening, bingo, polka dancing and his favorite pastime, fishing.
In 1998, after trying for more than two decades to win official government recognition of his war experiences, Lajzer received the Purple Heart and POW medals during National POW/MIA Recognition Day.
He told reporters, “It's been a long time coming. This is a great day for me.”
Joseph D. Lajzer
An Air Force spokesman explained that the Purple Heart couldn't be awarded to soldiers wounded during captivity or while being taken captive in World War II or the Korean War until the National Defense Authorization Act passed in 1996.
Lajzer's war experiences also are chronicled at the National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg, based on an interview the museum had with him.

Why Those Who Cause TBIs Must Be Held Accountable for Their Actions
A recently published study by Canadian researchers in the scientific journal PLOS ONE made headlines by theorizing that there is a link between traumatic brain injuries and risky behavior by teens.
Specifically, the study found that the odds of both teen boys and girls engaging in decidedly risky behavior — smoking, drinking, using drugs and underperforming academically, etc. — increased significantly if they had suffered some sort of traumatic brain injury that left them unconscious for over five minutes or resulted in a hospital stay of at least one day.
While certainly thought provoking, the study is not without its detractors who argue that it only established an association between risky behavior and TBIs, not a real cause-and-effect relationship.
Regardless of how you may feel about the study, it nevertheless serves to underscore just how much scientists have to learn about TBIs and, perhaps more to the point, just how debilitating they can prove to be.
Indeed, people who suffer serious brain injuries can end up enduring such unfortunate side effects as memory loss, depression, amnesia, and mood swings, as well as physical maladies like crippling headaches.
While immediate medical care coupled with comprehensive rehabilitation can often mitigate some of the long-term damage for those diagnosed with TBIs, others aren’t so fortunate and will see life as they once knew it vanish.
What makes all of this so much more unfortunate is that many TBI victims can attribute their condition to the negligence of another. For instance, a person may have decided it was more important to answer their cellphone than watch the road or get behind the wheel after having just a few beers rather than calling a cab.
In these tragic scenarios, it’s vital for people to have a strong advocate by their side willing to fight to secure the compensation needed to cover not just immediate medical costs, but a lifetime of care as well as the pain and suffering of being unable to enjoy the life they once knew.

1015 N Country Rd
Stony Brook, NY 11790
A cute little frozen yogurt place right across from the street from Stony Brook Long Island Railroad station. It recently opened around the area, so Pinky and I decided to give it a try. It use to be a Dunkin Donut’s, but they did a great job renovating it into the colorful little store it is now. They sell some merchandise and they also have these stamp cards for rewards after a certain amount of cups
Not particularly great tasting but the place is really cute. No competition against Red Mango though. For this place, it doesn’t have fresh fruits or anything so if you have an extreme sweet tooth this is the place for you. They have many flavors that resemble the actual food item it’s for. My favorite was coffee because I am a huge coffee drinker and it is only one of the few that aren’t as extremely sweet. It was the first time where I actually wanted fruit instead of all the candy toppings! Probably won’t see me here again but the staff were extremely sweet and nice to us! 🙂 They let us sample all the flavors! 🙂
Victor says: 2.75/5
Sweet Frog is just… okay. It’s just another frozen yogurt place, but it’s nothing to go crazy about either. They have a wider variety of yogurt flavors than Red Mango, but they weren’t necessarily better. We were able to test all the flavors, but none really stood out to me. The toppings were okay, but they didn’t have any fresh sliced fruit! I was really surprised by this! Those are the most important topping for a healthy junkie! The texture of the yogurt is not as smooth as Red Mango’s and can be bit more watery. This place is good for a quick fix if you’re in need of a frozen yogurt, but I probably would still go to Red Mango.

Stafford Loans qualify for PSLF, but not automatically. They must be consolidated into a Direct Loan before being eligible for forgiveness.
During the pandemic, the federal government temporarily simplified the tricky eligibility criteria that blocked many public servants from getting their loans forgiven after a decade of working full-time for the government or a nonprofit organization. The changes have allowed tens of thousands of active duty military service members, teachers, police officers, and others to qualify for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program — even those who borrowed Stafford Loans.
Related: How the PSLF Temporary Waiver Works
Stafford Loans are a type of federal student loan that the Education Department used to offer undergraduate student loans. The loans were made under the now-defunct Federal Family Education Loan Program.
There are two types of Stafford Loans: Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans. Both types of Stafford Loans qualify for PSLF, but you’ll need to consolidate them into a Direct Consolidation Loan before they can be forgiven.
When you consolidate, you’re usually not allowed to count the monthly payments you made before you consolidated as a qualifying payment for PSLF. But for a limited time, the Biden administration is doing away with that penalty.
If you submit a consolidation on studentaid.gov before midnight on Oct. 31, 2022, you’ll not only get retroactive PSLF credit for those payments, but you’ll also receive credit for some of the time your loans were in forbearance and deferment.

The “crypto winter”, or months-long meltdown of digital currencies, is part of the natural cycle of a new type of asset as the coins experience their first “extremely aggressive” macroenvironment, according to analyst experts.
The Wealth Today Summit was held in Dubai the day after Bitcoin fell 10 percent in 24 hours, below $20,000 for the first time since November 2020, after months of sustained losses. However, experts have said this is part of the natural cycle of a decade-old digital asset industry and a correction that needed to happen as the market matures.
Karim AbdelMawla, a research associate at 21 Shares, cited the “debacle” of Luna, terra’s stablecoin, which lost almost 99 percent of its value, which he described as “very unfortunate.”
“There really needed to be a lot of experimentation with algorithmic stable coins,” he said. “Algorithmic stable coins are a true innovation in the crypto space. At the end of the day, you need a really decentralised monetary system that is not reliant on single points of failure. The conclusion, or the lesson we have learned, [is that] no matter how algorithmic the stable coin design might be, it needs to be backed up with collateral.”
Asked how long the “crypto winter” might last, AbdelMawla said, “It could last anywhere from a year to two years, maybe even less than that. Crypto has not experienced an extremely aggressive macro environment like we are experiencing right now. Grappling with the fear of recession and regional warfare simply did not happen since crypto’s inception.
Crypto is now highly correlated with the stock market, he said, adding: “A lot of things have to be sorted outside of crypto to have a fleeter vision of how long this might last.”
“It [the meltdown] really needed to happen; the market was over-leveraged [and] filled with over hyped products. Ultimately speaking, in a bear market [is] when truly innovative products come into existence,” he concluded.
Stefan Kimmel, Kraken’s chief commercial and operating officer, highlighted the interest in virtual assets from family offices in the region, and said crypto is now in its fourth cycle and that a continued upward trend would be obvious in 10 years. Kraken recently became the first virtual assets exchange to receive a full Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) licence and has announced that it will hire 500 staff members globally by the end of 2022.
“As long as crypto was [the] Wild West and decentralised finance (DeFi), it’s very hard for somebody who is responsible to preserve money to put your allocation in there. That has changed,” he said
The UAE is one of the few jurisdictions in the world where there are clear rules and guidance on what is allowed and not allowed with the trade of digital assets, he said. “We’re seeing small allocations: 0.1 percent, half a percent. Some are braver.”

I was blessed today by a beautiful role-model. She stated her needs as she saw them, fully and completely. I wasn’t taking notes, so I am not completely sure how she expressed them. It was hard to hear. She said she needed “single-sex spaces” because of male violence against women. I don’t know if she used the term “trans women”, but I don’t think so. I am pretty sure she spoke about “male-bodied people” meaning trans women. I know she meant trans exclusion. She claimed that the Equality Act allowed “single-sex spaces” which is misleading: the Equality Act allows women’s spaces, which include trans women (anyone who has decided to transition male to female). Trans women can be excluded too, but that is a separate step requiring separate justification.
I found it harder to hear the trans woman speaking. I remember she said she had “male privilege”. Trans women are set against each other, and rub each other up the wrong way- with internalised transphobia, no-one pushes my buttons more comprehensively than another trans woman.
That mention of privilege hurt all the more, because I too have said I have male privilege, before a large Quaker audience. It is not true. Any privilege I have is negated by the weight of my trauma, and the desperate measures I have undertaken to maintain a fragile equanimity in the face of it.
Rather than stating my needs, I am strongly tempted to speak out of my comfort zone. There, I appear wise and loving, and say sensible things about valuing everyone. I am intelligent and articulate, and sound like a Quaker. This might seem like male privilege. It is as if I cannot conceive of people like the gender-critical speaker not taking my needs into account. I just assume my needs will be considered, and discuss what crumbs to throw to the gender-critical.
But it is not male privilege. I need to get that clear in my own mind.
I said I had male privilege. I tried to be the Wise Quaker, and did great damage, but allowed Quakers to pretend to be the wise, judicious Quakers who know best, and can reconcile and find truth, while stating [cis] women need trans women excluded. I am desolate about the damage I did.
Debbie Hayton is a self-hating trans woman. She regularly writes for The Spectator, about how women need single-sex spaces and extreme trans activists are demanding too much. She may think she is advocating a sane, balanced accommodation of trans women, and that she is valued for her skill at writing. (I am jealous of such a prominent platform, but not jealous of the deformities she needs to embrace to get it.) In reality she is a dupe of the hard Right, making the lives of a vulnerable minority, including herself, harder.
She seems to want to propitiate the sins of trans women. She has said she traumatised her wife by her transition.
She is not listening to me, but I would say to her, if you have wronged your wife you know all you have to do is to revert. Go back to presenting male. Then attempt to heal your relationship. That she does not do that shows that she cannot, so she should not blame herself for following her own needs by transitioning. If her wife is traumatised it is not her fault.
So there is one need. I need to express myself as a woman.
It’s not male privilege or sense of entitlement, it’s terror. Finding stating my needs so difficult, I am disassociated. I fear death, because of my repeated trauma. (More on this tomorrow.)
Now I remind myself of my happy place. It’s a twice-weekly Zoom meeting, and I have a 63 page document of extracts from the chat: I save the bits which say things like “You are absolutely marvellous, Abigail”. “Haha, Genius”. “You are wonderful.” “You look so beautiful.”
Oops, that one might irritate the gender-critters. Objectifying Women!! Bad!! So, there’s a desire: escaping the seriousness of the situation with a little humour, and- irritating the gender-critters. I know it may not do good in the long run, but-
it’s something like I need to hit back. And I need to do it covertly, because I can’t do it directly. It is better to know and acknowledge need, or I might get a bit chaotic.
“Thank you wonderful Abigail ❤ xxx.”
Oh! Here’s a good one! “beautiful Sister Abigail who shared her journey into the heart of God with such passion and determination.” How could I resist sharing that?
Calling me “male-bodied” (I can’t hear it as abstract, it is personal because if won it would affect my rights and my safety) is profoundly threatening for me. And I am so used to it that I dissociate. Maybe I should just have walked out- but then I would be unable to influence the situation, and I want to be able to influence it.
All the acceptance is never enough. I have internalised transphobia, and cannot accept myself. Now, that is often used very cruelly: people say directly or hint subtly, well, you know you’re a man, stop pretending. I need to accept myself.
Until then I need some support to be acceptable. Humans are a social species, none of us is completely self-reliant.
Did I make a fool of myself by losing it and shouting “NO! NO!” before getting muted? Definitely. It is not what Quakers do. And, privilege is the ability to sound wise and articulate like a Quaker rather than being only able to scream.
I screamed, “NO! NO!” and you should sense where the words come from and what has nourished my life. Very little, actually, I am clinging on by my fingernails. I admit I have obligations to consider the needs of others. We lose something, if we shut out the screams of pain.
God, I want to be the wise Quaker. A trans friend got into a lot of trouble by “pissing about,” as she put it, making jokes and bamboozling other Quakers.
I am rambling a bit. Needs, yes, that was what I wanted to type. This is threatening. I will state what I need, and I will be told I can’t have it, and I will have to put myself together as best I can. Again.
I need to express myself as Abigail, and not as a man, because Abigail is who I am.
I need to be accepted as Abigail, a woman, even when someone thinks I look and behave like a man.
I need supported when I face anti-trans hatred or that ghastly lack of sympathy or interest we find in the gender-criticals.
I need community. These are bare survival needs: Yeah, yeah, self-actualisation, maybe in another life.
Articulating needs is difficult! It brings up all sorts of fears in me. It brings out dissociative reactions.
I don’t think the anti-trans campaigners need women’s space from which trans women are rigorously excluded quite as much as they claim to. I think they need an acknowledgment of the repeated trauma of sexual violence and the weight of patriarchy even among Quakers, and concrete action to deal with these things. Excluding trans women who are just as vulnerable only makes you feel better if you cannot get anything better than that. In the cases where there is a real need for space without trans women, let us negotiate it, don’t just make an absolute demand no trans women not never not nohow. Or a demand for “single-sex spaces” where everyone knows you mean no trans women but no-one ever says it.
Well, Friends. Here are two groups of traumatised women- trans women, and trans-excluders. We are set against each other, to the detriment of all. You can play at being the Wise Quakers, by making a minute to make yourselves feel good- either “We recognise trans women are women, and Liz Truss is a horrid Tory” (that would make me feel good too) or “we recognise that adolescent children may be being allowed to make permanent life-changing decisions and that there has been a closing down of discussion” to please the gender-crits, and drive me away. Or, you can do the serious work we have before us.
Over to you.
And- any Quakers reading, remember, this is my blog where I can say what I like and write at length to find what I think. 2 Corinthians 11:1: “I wish you would bear with me in a little foolishness. Do bear with me!” I will try to say something like Ministry if I am ever tolerated in Quaker space again.

Hi there and Happy Thanksgiving! I am happy to rejoin the world of blogging. Honestly, I just needed a break for a little while and now I am feeling refreshed and ready to share ideas again!
This idea isn't original and may not be well received, but I am going with it because I am passionate about it. What the he## is up with all of these people "redoing" Green Bean Casserole? Sorry, I don't get it. I understand that canned soup isn't the best thing for you nutritionally, ok fine, but seriously people are talking about the "dreaded cream of mushroom soup" as if it is battery acid. My Momma Sylvia makes Green Bean Casserole with cream of mushroom soup and soy sauce just the way the back of the Campbell's can tells us to. It is my favorite thing on the Thanksgiving Table. I love it and I start and finish my meal with a big helping of it. Sorry I just don't get why a re-do is necessary, but I saw 4 different shows on food network this weekend with a "new take on green bean casserole" If you want to re-do something, re-do something that needs it, like candied yams. Seriously you don't want a can of mushroom soup on your Thanksgiving table, but you are ok with a side dish with the word "candied" in the title? To me this makes no sense. I understand that homemade is important, and I treasure homemade things like cornbread dressing and gravy and creamed corn and a ton of other things. But the Green Bean Casserole, I think it is best just the way it is. Please leave me and my canned cream of mushroom soup alone; we will be just fine, very happy actually...
How was that for a soap box? What do you think of Green Bean Casserole? What are you most looking forward to on Thursday?
Happy to be back and Sincerely Loving Food,

Spring is just around the corner, which means it’s time for gardening, outdoor living–and the return of allergies. Winter may be thawing, but if you suffer from seasonal allergies, it’s time to gear up for another long haul: ragweed season.
Over the past 15 years, communities in Canada and the northern United States have extended the length of the ragweed pollen season, adding anywhere from 13 extra days in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, to 27 days in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, onto the ragweed pollen season. The longer pollen seasons are tied to winters with fewer freezing days and a later first frost–findings that are consistent with climate change research.
Longer pollen seasons could mean more bouts of asthma and serious health complications for allergy suffers. Get relief from seasonal allergies with these natural remedies for treating allergies.

This species is endemic to the Ethiopian Highlands (Evans et al. 2011). It is known from two sites in the mountains east of the Rift Valley: between Dodola and Asela (the type locality) at 2,651 m asl, and in the Arsi Mountains at 2,467 m asl. Further searches have also found this species in areas northwest of the Rift Valley including two localities at 2,390 and 2,377 m asl north of Mount Choke but south of Lake Tana, and a third locality at 2,709 m asl north of Lake Tana but south of the Simien Mountains (Evans et al. 2011). Taking range as a proxy for extent of occurrence (EOO), this is estimated to be 3,681 km2. This frog is believed to be restricted to the known range.
Habitat and Ecology
It is an aquatic species. At the type locality it was found in pools, streams and marshes surrounded by grassy clearings derived from montane forest. At one other site it was found in a stream flowing through cultivated land. It is perhaps formerly a montane forest species, with only remnant small subpopulations surviving due to habitat loss, but this has not been confirmed and its degree of tolerance to habitat disturbance is still unknown (B. Evans pers. comm. March 2012). It lives and breeds in water, like other species of Xenopus (B. Evans pers. comm. March 2012).
Nineteen individuals were collected northwest of the Rift and six from the southeast, including the type locality (Evans et al. 2011). This species is considered to be rare within its range and its population is considered to be severely fragmented given that its habitat is patchy and fragmented, its dispersal capacity is believed to be low, and over half of the known population is found in small isolated habitat patches (B. Evans pers. comm. March 2012, A. Mengistu and S. Loader pers. comm. June 2012).
The most likely threats to this species are forest loss, environmental degradation and aquatic pollution (from pesticide runoff into water bodies) resulting from human activities such as small-holder and large-scale agriculture and residential development (A. Mengistu and S. Loader pers. comm. June 2012).
It is not known to occur in any protected areas nor be near one (B. Evans pers. comm. March 2012). Resource and habitat protection are urgently needed given that it is not in a formally protected area. More information is needed on this species' ecology and tolerance to threats. Chytrid has been recorded from this genus but has yet to be screened for in this species (Gower et al. 2012, A. Mengistu and S. Loader pers. comm. June 2012).
Red List Status
Listed as Endangered because its extent of occurrence (EOO) is estimated to be 3,681 km2 , its population is considered to be severely fragmented, and there is a continuing decline in the extent and quality of its habitat in the Ethiopian Highlands.

Don't forget just because the eggs might come from birds from Foley doesn't mean they are Foley lines once someone else gets them. Everyone breeds for different things. Foleys breeders will be top notch and improve all the time. I've got birds from them only now but can't say they are Foley lines. They came from him but are not near the quality of birds he keeps for breeding since he hatches so many and culls to the best few.
You are completely right. I have been looking at everyones pictures and some are better than others. And I have also asked to see how long they have had them and if they came directly from Foley.
