An Archaeologist demonstrates a pre-historic music 'Lithophone' :
Lithophone, originally a pre-historic musical instrument consisting of a rock or pieces of rock, granite, fossilized coral, petrified wood and other melodious stones, that are played by striking them. Sounding stones made of basalt, granite, marble and other minerals were used in many ancient cultures for ceremonial and religious purposes.
When I was a youngster in the late 1980s, I formed an Amiga game dev team with 2 friends.
Before making games, we started by trying to sell game music that used minimal RAM, made with our music editor SIDmon.
To promote our game music, this energetic music module was composed by our musician Ramon Braumuller. The file, including tiny sampled sounds, is only 22 kilobytes.
In the late 1980s our small game dev team developed 2 Amiga music editors: SIDmon and Digital Mugician, both featuring synth sounds and sampled sounds.
Mugician was published by the British Thalamus game publisher in 1990, and was used for several Amiga games, including our own.
This is our composer Ramon Braumuller's 4-channel Mugician intro.

You can listen to some Syntrax tracks here (my favorite is King Tut)…
I need help. A couple days ago a mystery #sound started coming from my kitchen and it's driving us all nuts. According to a spectrogram it's at 4,086 Hz. It hasn't stopped for days. It's clearly the kitchen because enough walls or distance block it. We've tried unplugging all the appliances we get to to no avail.
I can finally say I’ve upgraded successfully to #Fedora40. It was not without hassle this time and it started with what seemed to be a system that did not even give me a prompt after #rebooting, although the update process had seemed to go smoothly and quickly. Luckily, the virtual screens were working and so I could #login to a #shell. Although #sddm didn’t seem to be working, #kdm was and so I was able to open a desktop session, but only in #Gnome
“The team found that a school of #fish moving together in just the right way was stunningly effective at #noise reduction: A school of seven fish sounded like a single fish.
“The single biggest key to #sound reduction, the team found, was the synchronization of the school’s tail flapping—or actually the lack thereof.
If #fish moved in unison, flapping their tail fins at the same time, the sound added up and there was no reduction in total sound. But if they alternated tail flaps, the fish canceled out each other’s sound, the researchers found.” #Science

This was my first ever project with suno. I simply told it to create a metal song about coffee. I didn't even write lyrics, just had GPT do it. Pretty cool. I love the sound of it. #Audio#AI#Sound#Music
