Metallic Spheres feat. 3D60 sound tunes

Guiesepe Eisonhawk — 2010-09-07T08:21:02 -05.00

October Orb Album 'Metallic Spheres' Features David David's 2009 jam session with ambient collective The Orb has grown into an album, Metallic Spheres, to be released via Columbia/Sony Records in October. David's contribution to the charity song Chicago, in aid of Gary McKinnon, sparked the interest of producer Youth (Martin Glover), who remixed the track and invited David to his studio for a recording session. With additional contributions from Orb co-founder Alex Paterson, the album took shape from 2009 into 2010, eventually becoming Metallic Spheres, to be released by The Orb featuring David Gilmour. Metallic Spheres is designed to be heard in two parts - 'Metallic Side' (24'48"), and 'Spheres Side' (25'09") - each 'side' containing five movements. The album features David's guitar and lap steel guitar, plus some of his vocals from Chicago; Alex Paterson contributes sound manipulation, keyboards and turntables, while Youth adds bass and keyboards and handles the production. The album will be available in various formats: CD; digital download; and 180-gram vinyl LP. There will also be a 2-CD version, including an extra disc, featuring an alternative mix of the album in the new 3D60tm process, which creates a 360-degree sound experience when heard on headphones, using stereo tracks without the need for any special audio equipment. For a demo of the 3D60tm process, please go to www.3D60.co.uk. Longtime Orb collaborator Simon Ghahary has created the artwork, continuing in The Orb's spatial style, and, as with the Chicago single, all artist royalties will go to helping Gary McKinnon fight his extradition. We will bring you more details of the album, plus some of Simon's graphics, as we get closer to release date. * Standard CD * Double CD: The second disc is a 3D60 mix - www.3d60.co.uk - of the album which allows the listener to experience the album in three-dimensional sound * Standard album Download * Double album Download * Double LP Artwork, continuing and expanding on The Orb's spatial art style, has been created by longtime Orb visuals designer Simon Ghahary. Additionally, special laser light shows created specifically for the release of Metallic Spheres will be shown to the public in early October in New York and Los Angeles. More details to follow. http://www.jambase.com/Article...m/product/88625 ...or you could buy some more of that rap music y'all like so much LOL

South Island, New Zealand earthquake

ww — 2010-09-03T14:53:09 -05.00

It's near Canterbury, the big outdoor tourism spot. So far, few injuries are reported. No word on possible collapsed buildings. Loads and loads of serious damage, including the local river flooding.

Oddly, I'm expecting a couple of items from a Portlander-moved-to-Christchurch around Monday. I hope he and his family are OK.

USGS has a 'shake map' and other info. Magnitude 7.0

Update: looks like there was only one serious injury, maybe because the quake happened when everyone was at home in the early morning. There was a lot to damage to old brick buildings. Stores with verandas covering the sidewalks also fared badly.

2nd update: The bird prints arrived. The artist and his family are fine, complete with running water and sewage. Damage is spotty. Christchurch should be ready, as expected, for next year's world Rugby championships.

Big Blue Whale watching in California

LA Times. Almost seems worth a trip to see such big whales.

Would you? Multiple House investments next to FIT.

The Political Thinker — 2010-09-01T10:23:10 -05.00

My Dad is doing this right now with a house he owns next to FIT (Westside part of University) hes had the same renters for almost 6 years till this year (freshman from Pakistan) I was also thinking of doing this, picking up 1 or 2 houses right next to FIT and renting them to FIT student via the School Forum or Paper Ads on school boards. FIT is only expanding, I kinda want these houses to be payment free (on my end). Is this too risky? a sound plan?

Wawa (not WaWa) is coming to Orlando

St Pete Times. The story makes it sound like a mini Publix. Or maybe something even fancier. Wawa is based in Wawa, Pa.

Voyager, a history

ww — 2010-08-30T21:18:20 -05.00

Very positive review in the New York Times of the Grand Tour of the planets.

The author's first book was "Fire in America: a cultural history of wildland and rural fire", a groundbreaker from 1982. He's written at least ten more.
