I sent the #drone up to capture the beauty and relative solitude of my current #anchorage off Valcour Island in Lake Champlain. Yes, there's a small party of mostly quiet campers on shore nearby. And that weird long, narrow floating thing seems to be a swimming dock that's anchored there. But hardly anyone comes into this cove and it's dead quiet and calm at night. #boating#BoatLife
Here is another Doggerland update.
I added two more tracks: Siren Song & Wetlands V.
Thank you all for your time and support!
Please have a listen! Enjoy! https://feinstruktur.bandcamp.com/album/doggerland
My main #eurorack community #EarthModularSociety is doing a full 24 hours of drones on Twitch. I'll be on at some point to help out too. Come hang in the chat and listen to some wooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaooooooooowwwwwww
Explore a world of kosmische-inspired drone, alien soundscapes and general synthesizer fuckery on Metaphysical Shitposting, my latest (and ongoing) release. All but guaranteed to be the weirdest thing you'll listen to today!

“James Morrison, head pilot and UAS ("Unmanned Aircraft System") lead at Ordnance Survey, discusses the use of drones in mapping and surveying. He shares examples of how drones were used to quickly assess landslips and update mapping in the Isle of Wight, as well as capture data for residential housing developments. James explains the different types of drones used by Ordnance Survey and their capabilities, including capturing imagery with centimeter-level accuracy…” #GIS#spatial#mapping#OSRapidMapping#engineeringgeology#remotsesensing#UAV#drone#survey#UK#England#UAS#aerial#usecase#efficiency#podcast @OS
> The system also opens the possibility of using them to ambush Russian aircraft as they take-off or land on Crimean air bases. The USVs can sit off the Crimean coast and pick off the aircraft as they approach unawares. There is at least circumstantial evidence to suggest that this may have already been done.
There, I said it. And now I'll probably pay for it.
Because there are boundaries around how we can talk about #Oct7. You can support the #Palestinians: yes. But showing any sympathy at all for Hamas, is beyond the pale — you'll get doxxed, cancelled, vilified as an antisemite and worse..."
Had dinner at Mel's #Diner. There was a young couple in the corner that reminded me of myself 30+ years ago after I had moved to #SanFrancico. When I paid my bill, I paid thiers as well before slipping out the door. They had only ordered some fries, probably trying to have a cheap date. Wish them the best.
FYI, I forgot my #DJI#drone controller at home, so no drone #photos this trip, oh well.
Explore the wilder, more #experimental side of my work with Metaphysical Shitposting, an evolving collection (new tracks added about once a month) of #drone, #ambient and #soundscape pieces, with the occasional splash of musique concrete, #kosmische and #noise mixed in to keep things interesting.
Ram Island Ledge Lighthouse always held a bit of mystery for me, since I could never get close to it, sitting out in Casco Bay on a rocky ledge. Thanks to my drone, I've been able to demystify it a bit. Here's a recent sunrise image of the lighthouse. https://rickberk.pixels.com/featured/morning-glow-at-ram-island-ledge-rick-berk.html
in an effort to expand my music library and also share cool stuff, fedi, I beseech thee... lend me your ears (and boosts)
if you listen to, make, or have a friend who makes electronic music that fits any of these descriptions:
sounds like the early 2000s, especially if it's some kind of dnb, jungle, or ambient
nostalgic futurism that isn't dnb or ambient (and especially not synthwave!)
sounds like racing game music from back when it was too good
vaporwave but original (as in, not sample based) and not synthwave
weird and wacky experimental electronica that can work in the background
bass heavy but low intensity music that tickles the brain
just really pretty and interesting ambient or drone stuff in general
please drop names and links here. by all means, plug yourself and your friends if you want to
bandcamp, mirlo, faircamp, and similar links are preferable, but any link will do if those aren't available. extra bonus points if creative commons or similar
I think these styles of music are amazing and rather underrated, especially since a lot of the people who like these styles are just playing random youtube mixes in the background, so they have no idea what they're actually listening to or who to support
I also find this kind of music annoyingly hard to discover, which isn't helped by those mixes either, because most of them are either drawing from the same small handful of artists, or just playing video game soundtracks
I want to change that, even if only a little bit. for that reason, please boost
aside from just hoping to spread this post around, I'd love to write about what I hear on my website eventually too, play it during livestreams with the titles on screen, and of course share it with all my non-fedi friends
Throwback to summer. I’ve applied for some funding to upgrade my drone so here’s a shot with my Mavic 2 Pro. A panorama of Qajuutinnguaq down Adams Sound from home. #Nunavut#Arctic#LandscapePhotography#Drone
Using less water & using a #drone to fertilize are new techniques that Van is trying & #Vietnam hopes will help solve a #paradox at the heart of #GrowingRice : The finicky crop isn’t just vulnerable to #ClimateChange but also contributes uniquely to it.
Vietnam is the world's 3rd largest #rice exporter, & the staple importance to #Vietnamese culture is palpable in the #Mekong Delta.
