A spherical shell-like structure 1 billion light-years in diameter named Ho’oleilana is discovered in the distribution of relatively nearby galaxies. We posit this is the 1st observation of an individual Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO).
#studio#rebuild almost done now. 🥳 Not sure if I like the #acoustic#panel (s) as they take away quite a bit of light. Also, electrical problems still unresolved. But the electricians are coming today, so I have high hopes. 😇
Here's a "New Acoustic" classic album I haven't thought of in awhile, Todd Phillips' Released. New #acoustic was one name for the post DGQ wave of #music that combines #bluegrass instruments with #jazz repertoire and concepts and a very high level of virtuosity. This one features Tony Rice, Jerry Douglas, Darol Anger and John Reischmann on material like Nardis and Miles' Mode - Tony listed the latter as one of the performances he was happiest with.
For this week's #MusicWomenWednesday, check out this amazing sounding album 'Melt the Honey' that comes out Friday. The band is PACKS, aka Madeline Link.
These songs have such a cool, lo-fi feel- they reminds me of early Beck songs or maybe quieter Sonic Youth or Sebadoh songs, with Link's cool, unaffected voice and some great lyrics. It's folky and catchy as hell.
'Melt the Honey' comes out Jan 19 (Friday) and it's definitely a contender for my top favorites of this year. Listen/grab it here:
Everyone please meet Callie, taking a break next to two of her instrument siblings.. She is helping me complete my first album ever, and we have two songs out of six done! 🖤✔️ Callie is a Taylor 512ce in urban red ironbark. She’s unreal. A shorter scale length ebony fretboard is very comfortable and adds mellowness to the slightly smaller body’s tone. :blobcat: #GearSquad#guitar#music#gear#studio#musician#acoustic#taylor
Blackgrass: From West Virginia to 125th St from Swamp Dogg
Everyone who had this album on your 2024 bingo card collect your winnings. Mostly #acoustic, #bluegrass ish #roots#music, high energy playful and horny. Featuring Noam Pikelny, Sierra Hull, Jerry Douglas, Vernon Reid and more
Via G Money/Coast Range Lights, another group chat rec FTW
These are friendly for comradery and a perfect chance to interact with and directly support an awesome independent artist outside of the pressures of other platforms.
#NowPlaying - sunday evening garcia/grisman, the luxe new 2xLP "so what" reissue, #acoustic#jazz, 1990-1992. a project made for analog, sounding just unbelievably wonderful. once past the head, "milestones" seems to suit garcia best, moody & midtempo & made for spidering. too bad about the unchill percussion on most of the jams. i guess it was the '90s. @vinylrecords#JerryGarcia
After a day of remove, I think this isn't too bad - it took me more time than I'd like to get an uninterrupted take, playing 3 long, mostly unique, improvised solos back-to-back is kinda hard... It's the back-to-back aspect, my concentration starts to falter and I start making mistakes that I wouldn't otherwise. Something to work on.
Here's a bit of Frank Wakefield's New Camptown Races.
Help support independent artists by building and enjoying creative community. DM if you would like to propose an idea or use inline with RFF ethos for our audio or video community venues.
German physicist and musician Ernst Chladni died #OTD in 1827.
His most important work, for which he is sometimes labeled as the father of acoustics, included research on vibrating plates (the so-known Chladni figures or Chladni patterns) and the calculation of the speed of sound for different gases. He also undertook pioneering work in the study of meteorites and is regarded by some as the father of meteoritics.
We have fired up the chat machine. We are assembling for a hangout on the video channel NOW and are pleased to have a live acoustic performance from @SabiLewSounds on the bill.
You are all invited to be comfy with some friendly fedizens and artists.
