New #review today: "#Spinifex is an #AvantJazz group based in Amsterdam, though its members come from various countries. Led by artistic director and chief composer #TobiasKlein on alto sax, the membership has changed somewhat over the years. Undrilling the Hole features seven energetic tracks of unpredictable music that ranges between tightly coordinated arrangements and free-blowing chaos." #ExposeOnline #FreeJazz #PunkJazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/spinifex-undrilling-the-hole-maxximus-2.html

Moers Festival 2025 met stilte als rode draad (1) | Written in Music

E se davvero le termiti fossero il motore dietro i cerchi delle fate australiani?

Creature invisibili ed onnipresenti, nascoste sotto il suolo impenetrabile della brughiera. Proprietarie del segreto labirinto dove, per un attimo di distrazione o il canto psicologico delle sirene…

Il misterioso parrocchetto che si aggira camminando tra i roveti delle notti australiane

Un pensiero che riemerge, la potente sensazione, come un senso che precorre o in qualche modo anticipa gli eventi. Quel sospetto evocativo, dal profondo, che un qualcosa di altamente improbabile si…

#Grass-roots ‘building block’ produces #sustainable #materials

"The grass produces a #resin which can form a very strong bond when used as glue and which, once melted and solidified again, forms a #polymer that resembles #Bakelite, Rowan says.
Under a microscope, strands of #spinifex reveal stretchy #cellulose #fibres just a few nanometres thick but thousands of nanometres long, and with a tensile strength eight times greater than #steel."

The jump up on the drive into Lark Quarry Dinosaur Trackways.
This is part of the Queensland Dinosaur trail.
The long drives between sites is worth it, for the dinosaur fossils as well as the the outback plants and animals.
This is true outback Australia with the red soil and spinifex grass.
