YADLEEN (DREAM MUSIC) AND A LIMB (LIVE ELECTRO) AT STUDIO M -

WEDNESDAY JANUARY 10

Concert in Second Life - Clara’s ArtGarden.

TP to the concert: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Gangkhar/20/15/3898
You should land on ground level. There is a large Obelisk with a TP Pad

12:00pm SLT: YADLEEN
Yadleen ( @Clara Mayef ) is a composer of electronic dream music and the result is uniquely special. Her compositions can vary tremendously creating an ambience which is purely Yadleen. She also has an emphasis on India which is an extraordinary twisted work for electronic music.

1:00pm SLT: A LIMB
A Limb is a kind of artistic Frankenstein, exhuming all sorts of music corpses from their graves, stitching an ambient body with funk legs, punk feet, experimental arms, jazz hands, a drone head, inserting a big ethnic music heart and krautrock lungs… then bathing the whole “body” into a dub effects bath, until an electro thunderbolt strikes it and… omg… it’s… alive! Hmm… sometimes science goes too far, but it’s too late to back-pedal…

A Tale of Unwanted Disruption: My Week Without #Amazon

Source: https://medium.com/@bjax_/a-tale-of-unwanted-disruption-my-week-without-amazon-df1074e3818b

I have a smart home, and my primary means of interfacing with all the devices and automations is through Amazon #Echo devices via Alexa. This incident left me with a house full of unresponsive devices, a silent #Alexa, and a lot of questions.

I picked up one of these a few days ago and am quite impressed (other than Amazon is collecting data on me pttttt!)

It replaces my bedside clock-radio and white noise machine and much more....I'm still figuring out what all it will do and learning how to do it....plays radio, sounds, news, can be used as a 'intercom' of sorts (between Alexa devices) and can listen in (view with other Echo devices like the Echo show kindof a security camera and with the Echo Apps for pc's. I'm quite impressed and highly recommend this li'l dotty thing.

P.S. I've had a FireTV Cube with Alexa for years but have never really used it for much except checking the weather now and then. With this I'm actually incoprorating it into my life (i.e. I'm being assimilated!) ... noise machine for sleeping, radio, news, podcasts, etc.

More info from Yadleen about her new venue:

Dear friends, fans and Artists.

Since end of January Cat's Circus is history. I lost my musical home and a some others too. I created my own place for Music Events on my Parcel Clara's ArtGarden. The name is " Studio M ".
I will play there on different days and different times. Lets see how that works.
I know it's difficult to start something new. But I hope many of you will visit.
Additionally I'd like to invite musicians to play at my place too. If you are interested please send IM / Notecard. Restriction is " only Original and / or Live Music ". I would like to continue this tradition of Cat's Circus.

Bring your friends and tell about ...

Happy to see you there.

#Anatomy of an #AI #System

source: https://anatomyof.ai
Chinese source: https://anatomyof.ai/index-cn.html

This is an #interaction with #Amazon’s #Echo device. A brief command and a response is the most common form of engagement with this #consumer voice-enabled AI device. But in this fleeting moment of interaction, a vast #matrix of capacities is invoked: interlaced chains of #resource extraction, human labor and algorithmic processing across networks of mining, logistics, distribution, prediction and optimization. The scale of this system is almost beyond #human imagining. How can we begin to see it, to grasp its immensity and #complexity as a connected form?
