With #FieldsMountainsValleys as today's #TuneTuesday theme my mind goes immediately to #Tolkien's #MiddleEarth and all of their songs. Out of all of his songs going for the Misty Mountain Cold

Far over the Misty Mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away, ere break of day
To seek our pale enchanted gold

The dwarves of yore made mighty spells
While hammers fell like ringing bells
In places deep, where dark things sleep
In hollow halls beneath the fells

Good morning and time for another #MondayRandom10 where the robot DJ emerges from their Easter candy sugar coma just long enough to choose ten tracks at random from the music library.

Looking for a pattern in the noise, the robo DJ seems focused on awakening and change as the snowmelt reveals what the end of last summer left behind. Rupa blames it on the moon, but there was too much to dream last night about war and peace (the dove).

We're still a few weeks away from the first hummingbird here, but may your coffee be strong and hot this morning!

Another mission to the Uranian planetary system?

Fascinating... o_O

Uranus Mission Concept CASMIUS to Probe Ice Giant Secrets

The ice giant Uranus is one of the most fascinating objects in the solar system, with its sideways rotation, intricate ring system, and unique family of moons. However, it is also one of the least explored objects in the solar system, owing to its extreme distance from the Sun. With NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft remaining as the only spacecraft to visit Uranus, scientists continue to design and envision mission concepts for returning to explore Uranus and its icy secrets.

Uranus's Largest Moon: Titania
Image Credit: NASA, Voyager 2; Processing & License: zelario12

Explanation: Titania's tortured terrain is a mix of canyons, cliffs, and craters. NASA's interplanetary robot spacecraft Voyager 2 passed the largest moon of Uranus in 1986 and took the feature picture. That the trenches of Titania resemble those on another moon of Uranus, Ariel, indicate that Titania underwent some violent surface event possibly related to water freezing and expanding in its distant past. Although Titania is Uranus's largest moon, it is only about half the radius of Triton - the largest moon of Uranus's sister planet Neptune, which itself is slightly smaller than Earth's Moon. Titania, discovered by William Herschel in 1787, is essentially a large dirty iceball that is composed of about half water-ice and half rock. There is recent speculation that radioactive heating melts some underground ice into oceans.

With #UnderOverThrough being this week's #TuneTuesday's theme, RHCP's 'Under The Bridge' was the first song that came to my mind. However, this song has of course already been posted, so...

After some looking around I came up with Tool's 'Undertow', but I don't think it counts, does it?

My #UnexpectedDelight is #FatenKanaan's Cascando, which I discovered on an Adult Swim's Digitalis compilation among tracks, which all had beats where Cascando had none whatsoever.

This was not the only unexpected part of this #TuneTuesday tune since the first 84 seconds of this track seem to be just random noises. Then suddenly out of this chaos the music takes shape! Sequentially layer on layer are added, changing the form of the music shape absolutely delightfully.

New video! This one is on Escher’s “Print Gallery”. This was one of the most visually intensive projects I’ve done, take a look next time you’re looking to sit down with 45 minutes of math and art.
