The 2nd Day of Christmas

The Corelli Christmas Concerto

Marvin perched on the piano bench, dead eye spiraling, live eye tracking every motion in Corelli’s Christmas Concerto. 🎻

Bows danced, notes swelling and contracting — each tiny delay or subtle vibrato acting like a node shifting phase in a living network of sound and attention.

The audience listened to the harmonies, each micro‑perturbation rippling outward. Heartbeats subtly aligned with tempo — entrainment weaving musicians and listeners into one living rhythm.

Corelli and the conductor guided the ensemble, following the score and giving precise cues, nudging each musician toward perfect synchronization.

Marvin purred along — content, in the moment, stability in motion, harmony in real time. Even a cat could feel it, a lesson in attentiveness to what is too small to quantify yet impossible to ignore. 🐾🎄

Entraining Bubbles

Every time I fill a glass at my refrigerator, I watch how the falling jet creates a cloud of bubbles. The bubbles form when the impacting water jet pulls air in with it, though, as this video shows, the exact origins can vary. Here, researchers take a closer, slowed-down look at the situation; they connect disturbances in the jet and waves at its base to the entrained bubbles that form. (Video and image credit: S. Relph and K. Kiger)

Hot Droplets Bounce

In the Leidenfrost effect, room-temperature droplets bounce and skitter off a surface much hotter than the drop’s boiling point. With those droplets, a layer of vapor cushions them and insulates them from the hot surface. In today’s study, researchers instead used hot or burning drops (above) and observed how they impact a room-temperature surface. While room-temperature droplets hit and stuck (below), hot and burning droplets bounced (above).

In this case, the cushioning air layer doesn’t come from vaporization. Instead, the bottom of the falling drop cools faster than the rest of it, increasing the local surface tension. That increase in surface tension creates a Marangoni flow that pulls fluid down along the edges of the drop. That flow drags nearby air with it, creating the cushioning layer that lets the drop bounce. In this case, the authors called the phenomenon “self-lubricating bouncing.” (Image and research credit: Y. Liu et al.; via Ars Technica)

i've been working on new #fieldrecordings using different sets of frequency centers.
quite excited to load them into @ableton to see how this all fits. expect beats

This happened at the Japanese Arts Festival in Santa Rosa's Juilliard Park on Sunday. The drummer invited kids and adults to jam with him. After watching for a while, I realized that his responsive, precise, realtime feedback could entrain anyone, regardless of ability. Every interaction converged on a happy, listenable, toe-tappable outcome. What a beautiful example of effective teaching and learning!

Effect of #frequency and #rhythmicity on #flicker light-induced #hallucinatory phenomena https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0284271 "flicker rhythmicity critically contributes to the effects of FLS beyond the effects of frequency alone, indicating that #neural #entrainment may drive the induced phenomenal experience."

Fortunately this means that I need not change my #rhythmic #Ganzflicker online demo https://www.seeingwithsound.com/ganzflicker.html?f=10.0
