The Necrophile Hummingbird Netlabel presents Electronic Control [LP] by Invisible Illusion and Electronic Control [ep] by ardleg.
“Kairological Music for Conditioned People”.
I’m very happy that the second Invisible Illusion is a split with ardleg. Because ardleg is a companion of sound explorations since many years, in the collective KWAY https://archive.org/details/NomenclatureGenerale or next in La 6ème République https://archive.org/details/ROSA_LUX_La_6Eme_REpublique also for Zone fusION https://zonefusion.bandcamp.com/album/now-matter despite it’s still not published on the netlabel.
We are no more living in the same town but we try to keep collaborating thru time & space. Like I did with Humanfobia for the first invisible illusion TOHU WA BOHU https://archive.org/details/Invisible_Illusion_Tohu_Wa_Bohu_Disc_1
I sent the raw improvisation session to ardleg and he created these upgraded tracks listenable on the EP.
And next I reworked a little the raw tracks adding several layers to two of them, reading poetry on another one and that’s the LP.
I prefer called them EP and LP to avoid any order. That one would be before or after is irrelevant. You can listen first one or the other or both at the same time it’s up to you, like for the world : alternatives are better.
Seems that one important point with Invisible Illusion project is to show the result of different development process apply to one source…
About the surface of this album :
I found a plastic turntable cover with the inscription “electronic control”, it was transparent so I thought I would be able to made an interesting artwork cover by taking a shot thru this.
Then I decided to create an accurate music for it. After the quite dark Tohu Wa Bohu I wanted to slowly glide to the light.
That’s why despite it could have been far more on the electronic side actually it sounds very industrial music with a touch of “jazz”, not real jazz more the sort of dark jazz Mecano did on Autoportrait album.
Also the silence within silence has been record for the excellent compilation silence by Camembert Electrique. It’s a slightly different version https://camembertelectrique.bandcamp.com/track/silence-within-silence than the both versions listenable on the LP.
About the depths of this album :
Do you remember ?
The first time you disobeyed to an order, not to something maybe acceptable from a skilled authority but from the kind of authoritarian people without skill, needing hierarchy power to show they are above the other, despite it could be just small team chief
with very little power, the smaller they are the more they need to prove it by being nasty. Do you remember how the struggle for this freedom make you aware of who you are ?
Disobedience is one thing but it’s meaningful only if it leads to autonomy. What a pity if slaves break their iron chains to swap with golden chains.
I will try to talk the less possible about control, because it makes me sick, but it’s the plot of this album.
There is only one song with real lyrics and Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche quotations, most of the music is echoing the feelings grown inside me in the last few years.
So since the covid excuse to build up the electronic control society, situation is awful, it was already the case several years ago : there was the increasing level of state violence, state terrorism and media censorship.
It can still get worst making us our own cops, all that black mirror shit already more than half happens.
If it needs to resume : shock strategy worked perfectly and now as some said there will be no way back without fighting for our rights.
Well this sounds naïve, if you remember the subprime crisis or the looting of Greece, you know that the dices are loaded : states, banks, multinationals create rules that they never really follow.
Corruption is the replication process of capitalism virus. (Hand in hand with mafias). So what ? Solidarity is the antidote.
Perhaps keep a space to think by yourself, act by yourself at your local level, your own way,
keep your dreams alive and don’t feed the nightmare with your hopes. And at some point we may wake up.
All things begun with a little riddim joke came from a french broadcast http://jetfm.fr/site/-The-Russian-Fortune,165-.html, talking of a kind of CON conspiracy : control, comfort, consumerism… when you dig words in C working in that same objective of freedom annihilation it’s amazing because seems you can always find a new one.
And that’s the way all things end.
Good listen & thanks a lot for the support.

Are there Fediverse platforms dedicated to movies and music records/albums?
Hi everyone. As you know, BookWyrm is a Fediverse platform dedicated to social reading and reviewing.
Please, do you know if the Fediverse already have similar projects dedicated to sharing our experiences with movies and music (records/albums)? Thanks in advance.

Album in Free Download here https://archive.org/details/pirate_tapes_a_live_au_sanctuaire The Necrophile Hummingbird presents "A Live Au Sanctuaire" by PIRATE Tapes. Last of 2 concerts recorded before and after the first lockdown. A way to show how the spontaneous music that we call "improvisation" is slightly closer of Karlheinz Stockhausen's intuitive music than of the jazz improvisation. Indeed it's mostly a live session as we use to do when we record one of our album before split it in several parts and title them as tracks... but with public.
Merely nothing prepared, we plug and play that's all : total improvisation.
We performed this live front of an audience of people with disabilities not use to experimental music, so we glide from very chill ambient to our unusual postpunkraut..

Information Symmetries: Distribution vs. Assembly
I'm thinking again about communication, content, information, audiences, space, time, aggregation, and the like. This is all probably obvious, but writing it explicitly is helpful to me.
Networks distribute messages.
Spaces assemble audiences.
There are hybrid forms as well:
Media Channels combine distribution with an assembled audience.
Tours visit a series of audience across a travel path.
Archives gather records to spaces which readers can visit and access large quantities of information at little marginal cost (effort, time, distance, energy).
Note that "media channels" are distinct from the notion of a "signal channel" which I otherwise refer to simply as "channels".
"Tours" includes various synonyms: roadshows, travelling circus, conference series. "Archives" is principally aimed at a physical archive as in a library containing physical records, though the notion might be extended to online archives as well. Terminology concerning information and related domains (thought, ideas, knowledge, data) is tremendously difficult and confusing. Sorry.
Previously: Information symmetries of signals and records
This musing follows on a set of earlier thoughts on the symmetry between signals and records and their relations to energy, matter, time, space, media, and effects.
Signals transmit encoded symbolic messages from a transmitter across_ space_ through a channel by variations in energy over time to a receiver potentially creating a new record.
Records transmit encoded symbolic messages from a writer through a substrate across time by variations in matter over space to a reader potentially creating a new signal.
Again, there are hybrid forms as well, e.g., endocrine and chemical signalling systems are based on records (the encoded chemicals) but distribute much as signals (broadcast through space). Subatomic particles might be considered similarly. Synonyms for "receiver" include listener, viewer, audience, etc. "Channel" here is in the signal propagation sense. Note that a channel may be an omnidirectional broadcast, a directed transmission, or confined within a waveguide. These have distinct attributes as to direction, attenuation, noise, and audience.
Coctktail Party Communication Flows
It's observed that "you can go on little tours at a crowded party".[1]
On that ...
Public speaking for a long time was limited by the carrying power of a single human voice, and was long shaped by the acoustics of spaces (outdoor arenas, indoor chambers) in which those addresses were given. If you think through the characteristics of classical oratory (rhyme, meter, often musical accompanyment), these probably served mnemonic roles (in remembering the content, for the speaker), but might also have aided the audience in hearing (something I've just now thought of ... the mnemonic role is an older realisation).
Stone cathedrals and churches, with a horn-shaped pulpit (projecting the preacher's voice outwards to the pews), and a sing-song chant intonation (reverberates off the walls) likewise.
Modern audio capture, amplification, and speaker technology changed everything. German audio technology prior to and during WWII (mics, amps, speakers, magnetic audio tape) were strategic assets and game-changers. The Nueremberg Rallies and simultaneous nationwide taped addresses could not happen without those. (Bing Crosby played a major role in developing tape and audio tech in the US after the war, I believe with CiA / OSS support.)
Which is a prelude to the "tours at a party" comment.
A crowded party is a high-density social gathering usually without amplification, at least for speakers (and usually cover of music or other distraction, e.g., high noise, meaning high signal attenuation for any given speaker), making a set of small-n discussions (say, 2-10 people, and usually on the smaller side) possible. These are both serial (one person may speak or listen to numerous conversations) and simultaneous (there are numerous conversations happening at once).
The "cocktail party" scenario is a frequent one in various theoretical explorations in several domains (game theory, probability, etc., most dating to the CP's own heyday of roughly 1940 -- 1970 or so), though I haven't read anything specific to information/comms theory/studies that I recall. This might be interesting to research, suggested keywords "cocktail party problem", "cocktail party strategy", etc. There is notably the cocktail party effect, of focusing on a single conversatioin within a melieu, though that refers to attention and filtering by an individual rather than the overall informational flow. The notion of a city as a melenge of stories also occurs in literature and/or films, though I'm not recalling specific intances presently. And of course there is the economic notion of cities as supporting a high degree of differentiation and specialisation in economic roles and activities, observed since Adam Smith.
But Is There Maths?
Is there a mathematical expression of the signal/record relationshipi and symmetry? Um ... probably, though I'm going on thin ice here. I think what we'd be looking for might be something like:
Message characteristic: δe/δt * d * ε
Record: characteristic δm/δd * t * ε
Where
- e: energy
- m: mass
- d: distance
- t: time
- ε: noise, error, entropy. Yes, that's a bit vague.
Not notationalised: encoding, direction, rate of propagation.
(I'm pretty sure that's wrong. It's conceptually ... interesting)
That's the "change in energy with time ... multiplied by? ... space" and "change in matter over distance ... multiplied by? ... time".
I'm pretty confident of the differential fraction term. The operation and the third term, not so much.
There's quite a bit of physics of signals and wave propagation, and the message equations might borrow from that. Also Claude Shannon. I'm not aware of a similar physics of records, per se, though some aspects of that, e.g., Newton's Laws of Motion, would apply. I'm reviewing my sources on these....
Note that signals also travel through time, and records also travel through space (more properly for both, within an inertial reference frame limited by their light cone) though the principle mode of propagation is as noted previously. Interesting cases might be cases of near-hybrid record-signal propagation where movement through space-time is roughly proportionate (also suggesting that encoding as mass-energy is also roughly proportionate).
On the Value of Abstraction
In reading and researching media, communications, language, and information theory over the past few years, some observations:
- There's a lot of practice that's not especially aware of theory. Or even that theory might potentially exist.
- Claude Shannon's work was absolutely revolutionary. "A Mathematical Theory of Communications" (1948)
- Communications is a concept that spans numerous disciplines, many of which have their own individually-developed notions, nomenclatures, operations, communities, philosophies, contexts, and histories. Reinventing wheels is wildly popular.
- There's almost always someone who's previously had thoughts similar to my own. A hobby has been having new-to-me "original" thoughts, then putting an effort into discovering who got there earlier. If I'm within a few decades of first emergence, I consider myself reasonably warm-on-trail. This applies genererally across domains, not merely information and media.
- There's a lot of writing / discussion that's very implementation-specific to technology, craft, business or industry line, and the like. I like to look beyond that.
- There's a great deal that's been written that I've not read. Of the works I have, Shanon's original paper on Inforation Theory, Jeremy Cambell's Grammatical Man, and James Gleick's Chaos have been invaluable. There are many, many other references, a few I've read though listing even those would be a stretch. Gleick and Campbell's own later works (The Lair's Tale and The Information) would be two I desperately want to read.
Identifying the abstract notions is very useful in finding patterns, and potential new developments. As an example, one idea that fell out of my information/signal/record symmetry notion was the realisation that channels and substrates (if you can think of a better single-word term for "recording medium" as distinct from "transmission medium", please do), was that each is characterised by a predictable ground state and a generally unconstrained state space that can be mapped to it.
Erwin Schroedinger came up with the notion of "aperiodic crystals" (I encountered this in Hofstadter's Goedel, Escher, Bach (1979)). Einstein pressaged the discovery of the maser and laser working with stimulated emissions of radiation. Lasers & masers are analogues of radio-frequency transmitters. Stone, clay, papyrus, paper, punch-cards, mag-tape, spinning rust, digital media (CD/DVD/BluRay) are all state-impressionalble media. Fourier transforms apply strongly to analogue signal encoding in signals.
Mind, I kind of half-grasp most of this, though could probably work my way through it given the initiative to do so and understanding of significance.
A prediction though is that matter states which are highly regular but arbitrarily modifiable will likely prove excellent storage media. I'm looking at you, graphene.

That's interestingly bi-modal. The 1900s peak was expected. The 2000s one somewhat less so, though it speaks to how much the cruise industry had grown since the 1980s. The long nearly-dry spell from 1936 to 1996 is particularly notable. That's 60 years, and though there were some entrants, the SS Normandie at 314m (1,029 ft) and 83,404 GRT was very nearly the longest and highest-tonnage vessel through the entire period. The RMS Queen Elizabeth and SS France managed to just edge her out in length, and the Elizabeth was just slightly higher in tonnage. The post-1990 era ships are heavier (to 137,308 GT), but remain shorter than the Normandie. The age of transoceanic airline travel (beginning seriously in the 1950s) and jet airliners (especially with the Boeing 707, beginning in October 1958) heralded the end of regular transoceanic commercial passenger service (and much continental passenger rail travel), as well as the notable subsidies of postal delivery ("RMS" stands for "royal mail ship", and carried mail under contract to the British Royal Mail. Other countries' ships offered similar services, and postal trains, with dedicated mail-sorting cars, were a huge boon to domestic rail service, being phased out in the US with the introduction of the Zone Improvement Plan, or ZIP code, in 1963). The subsequent cruise industry was dedicated far more to the voyage than the destination.
The SS Great Eastern, launched in 1858, at a time of very heavy reliance on trans-Atlantic sea shipping, is even more notable. At 18,915 GRT and 211m (692 ft), she held records for 41 years (tonnage) and 43 years (overall length), with her reign ending with her scrapping, and the title-holders from 1888-1899/1900 actually being smaller in dimension or displacement. The Great Eastern was near the limits of technology of the time, and proved uneconomical for much of her life.
The period since 2018 has seen no new recordbreaking ships commissioned, and in a post-Covid world, that spell may last a while.

Now You Can Find Out if the NSA and GCHQ Spied on You
[…]
Thanks to a legal victory #Privacy_International obtained earlier this year, the #UK’s #Investigatory_Powers_Tribunal is now required to search through data the #GCHQ obtained from the #NSA for #information collected on #anyone in the world if that person so requests it. If #you #request the #info and the #Tribunal finds something, it must let #you #know. The catch is #you have to make the request before December 5, 2015. #Privacy_International has made this easy with its “Did GCHQ Illegally Spy on You?” online tool.
Earlier this year the #Investigatory_Powers_Tribunal in the #UK ruled that British intelligence services acted unlawfully when they accessed the #private #communications of millions of #people that had been collected by the #NSA under its #mass-surveillance programs known as #PRISM and #Upstream and shared with the #British #spy agency. The #PRISM program, which began in 2007, allowed the #NSA to collect #data in bulk from #US #companies like #Yahoo and #Google. The #Upstream program involved the collection of #data from #taps placed on hundreds of undersea cables outside the #US.
The #Tribunal will only search for #records #shared between the #NSA and #GCHQ prior to December 2014. And, unfortunately, it won’t #reveal if the #GCHQ obtained #data about #you on its own and/or #shared it with the #NSA, or if the #NSA spied on you and didn’t #share that #data with #GCHQ. The amount of data the #Tribunal will search may also be limited.
