New album out today:
From a book of silent stories
7 tracks

Axiomata: 1. Silence is never absolute. 2. Silence is not silent in the literal sense. Silence is symbolic of an active psycho-perceptual space. 3. There exist stories not told in words.

From far away, a signal arrives. We study its every detail. It pulses with life and at length we hear it speak, voices leaking in from beyond the unseen curtain.

I’ve been thinking a lot about rejective sensitive dysphoria and meltdowns of late - my history of them when I had no understanding of what was going on. Started writing this piece this evening - we’ll see where it goes (clear version in ALT) #adhd #autism #poetry #neurodiversity

TIL about the “Free Speech Flag”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Speech_Flag

It’s an encoding of a secret key – 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 – that was used to copy protect HD DVDs and Blue Ray discs in the mid-2000s. This key was considered a so called “illegal number” since publishing it was tantamount to breaking a legally protected encryption scheme.

The flag consists of five colours whose RGB hex values are the first 15 bytes of the secret key and the C0 is printed in the lower right.

Wired - Mysterious Fari language numbers shortwave transmissions traced to Panzer Kaserne, a US military installation in Böblingen, Germany. https://www.wired.com/story/a-mysterious-numbers-station-is-broadcasting-through-the-iran-war/

A Mysterious Numbers Station Is Broadcasting Through the Iran War

First heard as US and Israeli strikes on Iran began, the shortwave broadcast has since been traced to a US military base in Germany—but its purpose and its operator remain unclear.
