Got The Power: Minnesota
Installed at Franconia Sculpture Park, one hour outside of the Twin cities at the junction of Hwy 8 and Hwy 95, in Shafer Minnesota in Franconia township.
So, can you plug in to it? Turn it on? Ghetto blast the whole park? Inquiring minds want to know.

I intend to. Also, now every time I see the title of Dinosaur Jr. song “Start Choppin’”, I mentally pronounce it “Start Chopin”.

New Algorithm Captures What Pleases the Human Ear—and May Replace Human Instrument Tuners
As computer hardware and software becomes ever more powerful, they find ways to match and then exceed many human abilities. One point of superiority that humans have stubbornly refused to yield is tuning musical instruments. Pythagoras identified the precise, mathematical relationships between musical tones over 2,000 years ago, and modern machines can beat out any human when it comes to precise math. So why aren’t computers better than people? The professional tuner does have one incontrovertible advantage: a trained human ear.
Imprecision, it turns out, is embedded in our scales, instruments, and tuning system, so pros have to adjust each instrument by ear to make it sound its best. Electronic tuners can’t do this well because there has been no known way to calculate it. Basically, it’s an art, not a science. But now, a new algorithm published in arXiv claims to be just as good as a professional tuner.

Very interesting! I’ll have to remember that the next time I mess with the tuner on a synth that doesn’t sound right.

Marketing Campaign of the Day: This brilliant promotion for the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra by photographer Bjoern Ewers shines a perspective-reexamining light on the interiors of musical instruments, which, incidentally, look like they would make rather amazing concert halls.

Amazing, cute little robots playing the James Bond theme.

I find the lack of Sub-Saharan Metal disturbing.
