A New Way of looking at the Sky

Professor Bryan Gaensler - Director of the Centre for All-sky Astrophysics - gave an excellent talk on wide-field astronomy technology, the projects that feed into the SKA project, and what they hope to achieve over the next few years.

Astronomy is still the sexiest science.

Move on the Sun

A gorgeous vinyl record arrived in the post recently being the physical representation of the Move on the Sun album I've been listening to for the past two weeks.

The project was to collaboratively produce a summer album and it's very collaborative and very summery. I can imagine playing this in the backyard over lazy BBQs or hearing it outside at a very cool tapas bar. I think this is the first time I've bought music before listening to it then just letting the various songs grow on me over time.

My favourite is The Grind which is a lovely mix of sounds by Music: AlmostSound & Krrr, Produced by Krrr & Dr. Gory, Mix: jeffpeff, Lead Guitar: Nels Cline, Drums, Bass, Saxophone, Synths: AlmostSound, Organ: Mel Shore, Lead Saxophone: Kerrnie, Trumpet: ScowlinBaby, Trombone: Antoine Bellavance, Vocals: Ashes2Ashes, Additional Guitar: Krrr & lyrictician, Additional Synth: Robo_J

I love that it's a remix project and that it's available for further remix.
