Oggi è la #FestaDellAlbero, e quale modo migliore di festeggiare che non caricarsi in modo improbabile un pioppo nero da piantare in giro per la città? 🌳🏢
Questa volta si pianta nell'ambito di un'iniziativa di #Legambiente di #Pisa, che, al Bosco del Sanguigno, sta cercando di fare informazione e protesta istituzionale per la tutela del #Tritone Punteggiato, specie autoctona minacciata dai progetti edilizi, ironicamente, della nuova facoltà di #Biologia.
I thought I’d share this lovely little clip of the late great jazz guitarist Joe Pass. It’s from a show that classical guitarist John Williams presented along with three other exponents of the guitar from different genres. At this point they had been talking about the similarities between Jazz and Baroque music, especially with regards to the improvisation, so Williams invited Pass to improvise on a Chaconne by Johan Sebastian Bach. The result is absolutely fascinating, not least because of the musical jokes in the form of blue notes that Pass includes during his spontaneous elaboration. The first elicits a big smile from John Williams because the tritone Pass plays was regarded as the diabolus in musica in Bach’s time, but for a jazz musician blue notes like this are par for the course.

P.S. it’s amazing how little Joe Pass’s right hand seems to move…

Just listened to a fascinating #podcast episode about #sound #design. Recommended listening if you dig audio deep-dives!
"...the #Apple design team pulls back the curtain on their #SoundDesign philosophy and process—from the evolution of the classic “#Tritone” alert, to the surprising origins of the #AppleWatch sounds, to the inspiration behind the latest notification tones."
Over the last few decades, Apple has produced some of the most recognizable sounds ever made. In this episode, the Apple design team pulls back the curtain on their sound design philosophy and process, from the evolution of the classic “Tritone” alert, to the surprising origins of the Apple Watch so
cognitive psychologist #DianaDeutsch found the #tritone is ambiguously perceived by humans. Her "tritone paradox" is perceived as rising tones by half her subjects, and falling tones by the other half!
