Weekend Cat Blogging #276: A quiet morning
It’s a quiet, rainy morning here. So we are just relaxing a bit. Luna was sitting quietly on the carpet for an extended period of time, which gave me an opportunity to play with the cameras. First, a detailed black-and-white portrait (36mm):
Next, it’s over to the iPhone camera for more fun with the Hipstamatic app:
I think both the green lens effect and the monochrome of the first image capture qualities of this morning. So does this nice big yawn:
A quiet, moody and gray morning like this is actually welcome. It’s an opportunity to rest and turn inward.
Weekend Cat Blogging #276 is being hosted by Patchouli and Pam at Sidewalk Shoes.
The Carnival of the Cats will be up this Sunday at When Cats Attack!
And the Friday Ark is at the modulator.
Warped Cannon
Courtesy of fellow experimental musician Gino Robair, we have the “Warped Cannon” page, which features the Pachelbel's Canon in a wide variety of tunings. The MIDI files on the site present the canon performed not in variants of the traditional just and equal-tempered scales, but several rather odd tunings as well. Of particular interest to me was the the Bohlen-Pierce variation, using the Bohlen-Pierce tuning that I have discussed in previous posts. While some readers/listeners may find this variation a little difficult to listen to, and even disturbing when contrasted with the original, I actually find it quite inspiring. I am always interested to hear pieces done in this tuning ahead any future BP compositions of my own.
