I can't believe I haven't shared anything by Leprous yet. Definitely one of the most interesting prog (or however you'd classify it) bands out there. What really buys me are those rhythmic subtleties, syncopations and accents in unusual places that make this music extremely hard to perform, but in a way that's not obvious to an untrained ear on the first listen. And if you get the opportunity to see them live, I definitely recommend it.

So called "white voice" is a type of folk singing common to all Slavic cultures (although it can be found all across the globe) and is characterized by a very strong, forward-placed resonance, producing a distinct "buzz". The buzz is the raw sound of fully connected vocal folds, not attenuated by any unnecessary tension in the vocal tract.
Anglophone sources speak of this type of singing as a "controlled shout", but this is a huge misconception, in my opinion. I would call it more of a call than a shout. You can hear it in our example below - even quiet, delicate sounds possess the same consistent quality. Too me, it's the most pure type of singing - no mannerisms, no hiding your shame behind various stylizations, no trying to sound impressive.
From my experience, people are either mesmerised by this song or (rarely) find the voice too harsh, too piercing. I wonder how you guys will react.

Today I realized that I still haven't posted anything by Tigran Hamasyan and it's high time to fix this. A genius-level jazz pianist, heavily influenced by both his native Armenian music and prog metal (think Meshuggah, Animals As Leaders), he's creating intricate-but-still-catchy rhythmic tapestries can make your head spin while still staying headbangable. Cool shit, you should go through his full discography - it's a gold mine!

Asaf Avidan is one of those one-in-a-million vocalists who stand out so clearly that it's impossible to confuse him with anyone else. The voice is slightly androgynous, sounds like your old aunt who has smoked a little too much in her life, but in a good way. His raw emotionality and sheer vocal virtuosity make him one of the most interesting singers I know of. And if you get a chance to see him live - just do it. You won't regret it. Here's a small sample from a live album.
https://tidal.com/track/452745279/u
It's also worth noting how Asaf has matured as a composer over the last couple of years, venturing into really unexpected territories. It's really hard to describe, just have a listen to a song from his latest album.

It has had a huge impact on Western music and greatly contributed to the shift from polyphonic to chord-based conceptualization of music, for good and bad. My pet peeve with the instrument is that the fucking keyboard is asymmetrical (based on C major), which makes it really hard to map the instrument if you're trying to pick it up later in life. I would give my left ball for a high-quality midi controller with a symmetrical keyboard (alternating white-black keys). The number of shapes that you have to learn would decrease dramatically.

Some insights from the mobile free-to-play market: for a solid game, a typical conversion rate from non-paying to paying player is somewhere between 2 and 5 percent. Monthly ARPU (Average Revenue Per Paying User) is around 20 USD for a successful casual game (can be much more for more complex titles). Keep in mind that the purchase value distribution is heavily skewed by whales.
If think the could be similar for nostr creators, at least in principle. Assuming a player is analogous to a follower, creators should be able to earn a decent living (decent by Polish standards, shit's expensive in the States) from only a handful of followers (10000 followers * 2% * 20 USD = 4000 USD monthly). Does it really play out like that in reality? No idea, I don't have the stats and probably there are not enough full-time nostr content creators to draw any conclusions. But if zaps become TRULY frictionless - I mean one click onboarding and (unfortunately) easy fiat onramps like credit/debit card top-ups - I think it might work, especially as monetization practices (premium content, badges, leaderboards) mature.
Shame we only have 10 users.

Some half-baked ideas to add to this note.
1. It should be possible to meaningully define entropy in a social group modeled as a graph (e.g. with net value transfers or something similar as edges).
2. High entropy would correspond to a completely egalitarian group, with no preferred "value sinks" (like large companies or powerful individuals).
3. Low entropy would correspond to a highly centralized, rigid structure.
4. Enter the concept of criticality - if we postulate that a healthy social group should behave in a way akin to a living organism, the healthiest groups would be those living on the "edge of chaos", sitting somewhere in the middle of the allowable entropy range. #nevent1q…5fgh

Piękne i prawdziwe. Ale nie byłbym sobą, gdybym nie przyniósł tutaj trochę mroku :)
Nie traktuj tego proszę jako argumentu w dyskusji, ale po prostu jako inną perspektywę (a może wcale nie inną?).
Psychodeliki pokazują nam ogrom rzeczywistości.
Są potężnym narzędziem, ale jednak jedynie narzędziem.
Coś jak kule dla człowieka ze złamaną nogą.
Kule dla złamanej natury.
Zanim będzie możliwy prawdziwy lot, musimy pozwolić zrosnąć się kościom i zagoić ranom.
Patrząc głęboko i z odwagą w drugiego człowieka, dostrzeżemy w nim tę samą naturę i tę samą ranę.
I wtedy umiera poczucie wyższości, wtedy rodzi się prawdziwa miłość.
Miłość, która pragnie pociągnąć drugiego człowieka w górę.
A może jedynie zrobić mu miejsce, żeby podniósł się o własnych siłach?
Dopiero w takiej miłości - pełnej wiary, ale i cierpienia, możemy dostrzec niebo.
Nie inne niebo dla każdego, lecz to samo królestwo, tę samą naturę, wspólną dla wszystkich i wszystkiego.
To jest proces, w którym przestajemy patrzeć jedynie przez dziurkę od klucza, a zaczynamy uchylać drzwi.
Nie otwierać na oścież, lecz powoli uchylać je do stopnia, który jesteśmy w stanie znieść.
A jest to trudne do zniesienia, ponieważ w świetle, które za nimi się znajduje, widzimy siebie i świat w sposób prawdziwy, w naszej zranionej naturze.
Dlatego właśnie zapominamy nasze psychodeliczne objawienia.
Nie jesteśmy w stanie unieść ciężaru prawdy o sobie i o świecie.
Dlatego zostają nam jedynie blade wspomnienia.
Dlatego nasza mała dziurka od klucza jest swego rodzaju błogosławieństwem.
Ale jednak wspomnienia zostają, a wraz z nimi poczucie, że świat po drugiej stronie drzwi istnieje naprawdę i nas woła.
Co daje nadzieję, że kiedyś przejdziemy przez nie bez strachu.
Tym razem o własnych siłach.
Tym razem raz na zawsze.
W prezencie zostawiam piosenkę, która według mnie bardzo rezonuje z Twoim widzeniem świata. Kiedyś ją już postowałem, ale nie zaszkodzi jeszcze raz.

I figured out that on Windows one needs to execute `Add-DnsClientNrptRule -Namespace ".nvpn" -NameServers "127.0.0.1"` in Powershell for the thing to work.
Now I have another issue. After I call nvpn `set --node-name <my_name>`, the name is not even updated locally (still seeing self.nvpn in GUI). In config.rs line 2067 there's a line `if member_set.contains(&own_pubkey_hex)`, while `member_set` comes from `all_network_member_pubkeys_hex()`, which only returns participants + admins.
Now I'm thinking that I probably should open an issue on GitHub. Should I?

Unorthodox song structures, soaring vocals, ultra-rich soundscape achieved with minimal means possible - you get the full package. Here's a representative sample.

@nprofile…m7kq Do you think it would be possible to bring Kerry Mann to nostr? I think he would find a receptive audience for Healing Humanity on here.

@nprofile…medp I love this project! A couple feature requests and questions, if you don't mind:
1. Feature: It would be great to be able to sort my bookmarks by priority. Example use case: a priority queue of videos to watch.
2. Feature: Public discussions (kind 1111) on bookmarked URLs.
3. Bug: When I bookmark a nostr note in another client, it is added to Deepmarks. However, removal does not seem to work until I clear the browser cache.
4. Question: What NIPs are you using and where can I read up on them?

Time for more weird fusion stuff! Varijashree Venugopal got famous in her teens for singing Coltrane solos (because why the fuck not?). Drawing from Carnatic music and blending it with jazz influences, she has built a style characterized by tremendous complexity and vocal virtuosity, while still being groovy as hell. Enjoy!

We finally got to giving Plebeian Market a try (after a failed attempt with Shopstr) and it worked like a charm. Put up some T-shirts based on designs by @nprofile…ze3j Available only in Poland for now, but if it catches on, we'll think about international shipping.

Today I'd like to introduce you to one of the most interesting Polish composers, Krzysztof Penderecki. Starting out as a REALLY avant-garde musician (e. g. "Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima"), in his later work he returned to more traditional forms, for which he was dubbed "a traitor of the avant-garde" by his contemporaries.
What I think he realized is that music is a language and if you want to be understood, you are bound to use at least some vocabulary that's legible to your audience. Pure experimentation, innovation for innovation's sake, is something completely opposite - an autistic idiolect, incomprehensible to the listener. If your intent is to communicate something to the world, no matter how weird it is, the weirdness has to be embedded into something familiar.
Late Penderecki does just that masterfully - inside a somewhat neo-romantic musical matrix, he's still able to place lots of harmonic and melodic experimentation, in a way that allows the listener to relate the new and weird back to the old and familiar.

Stay calm, eat beef, play in the sun (not too much), ignore the rest. You should be fine, unless you live near a toxic waste dump.

Holosoil is one of my latest and greatest musical discoveries. A brand new German prog rock/metal band (more Tool than Rush type of prog), playing really advanced stuff that just screams intelligence, but not in a self-indulgent fashion. You can hear that the vocalist deeply understands rhythm, so a) the vocal parts don't have to be dumbed down as is common for many prog bands b) the resulting melodies are fucking awesome. Enjoy!
BTW, a call to the #demu folk: please try to bring these guys to nostr. They sound nerdy enough to get it.
