Documentary filmmaker Marijn Poels is in search of humanity’s primal code. In the second part of his trilogy, he unravels the genetically embedded principles and instincts we have neglected through the ravages of time. A compelling and mind-boggling quest of how certain stories, frequencies, and intentional programs suppress our perceptions, and block our path to humanity. Poels seeks a…

Jupiter’s multi-year cycles of variability could be explained by magnetic oscillations in the deep interior

"The well-known banded structure of the gas giant Jupiter varies considerably on the multi-year time scale of 3 to 10 years. There are noticeable colour changes, brightening events, and stormy outbreaks visible at the cloud tops, capturing the imaginations of amateur and professional observers alike.  These bursts of activity are sometimes called ‘global upheavals’ and demonstrate quasi-predictable patterns. They have been witnessed for over 100 years by ground-based telescopes, but their underlying causes remain a long-standing mystery."

(Two images of Jupiter at 5μm wavelength (adopted from Antuñano et al. Astron. J 2019). Captured by NASA’s Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF): (a) on 31 December 2011 and (b) on 2 May 2001. Those images reveal thermal emission from Jupiter’s lower atmosphere, the troposphere. The dashed lines indicate latitudes of 21 degrees and 7 degrees in the northern hemisphere.)

"We are proposing that torsional oscillations due to Jupiter’s magnetic field are responsible for the periodicity. The longitude-independent oscillations are a special type of magnetic waves, the Alfvén waves, that are provided by a tension of the magnetic field line: see figure 2 for an explanation of what these torsional oscillations are. The disturbances can propagate as waves, both towards or away from the rotation axis (see figures 2b-c), which means they move in latitude at the surface. Torsional oscillations have been detected in the Earth’s liquid iron core, with a 6-year oscillation period that is detected in the geomagnetic field record, and also through small variations in the length of day. They can also be seen in geodynamo models, which encouraged us to look for them in our models of Jupiter’s dynamo.  Our simulations did show torsional oscillations driven by the turbulent convection that transports heat outwards through the planet."

I'm American, so on top of work being very high pressure at the start of the year, my nation is in the throes of massive, toxic change. The desire to flee into fandom is there, but the energy to write posts or stories has been lacking. So apologies for not keeping up with my usual Farscape dithering.

But I did manage to write a whole scene over the last couple days. Small, and pointless, but complete. So I thought I'd share, even a day late.

Setup is that Aeryn and John have landed on a random planet because John wanted to and they're now walking down to the shoreline of a purple sea. The planet doesn't have a moon, so it doesn't have large wave activity (in addition to spinning faster than the Earth and other features that don't matter).

The beach, when they arrived, was even less impressive than it had looked at a distance. A wide flat plain of sand that sucked at their boots, with water streaming in and out in slow oscillations that barely warranted the name of wave. 

The most interesting feature was a swarm of tall multi-legged insectoids traversing the shoreline. They proved to be robotic harvesters of some small, mud-dwelling creature, plucking them up, then storing or discarding them according to some unknown rubric. Like the airborne drones, the machines scattered at their approach, crept closer again after a micron, then resumed their work.

Aeryn scanned one of the rejected animals, whose red shells blended into the sands almost perfectly until overturned, revealing a mass of bright blue tendrils. Only Rigel would be able to eat it without exhaustive preparation. "Don't touch those," she commented over her shoulder. Their suits should withstand the acidity, but there was no reason to risk damage to hard to replace gloves. 

Crichton only grunted an acknowledgment. After a quick check that the water had a tolerably low alkalinity--corrosive, but only at a very slow rate--he had immediately waded quite a distance into the sea, seemingly intent on figuring out how far he could go before the water deepened. He was crouched down now, face denches from the surface.

"If you get your faceplate cracked by some attacking alien, I can't guarantee I'll be able to carry you back to your module before this air damages your lungs."

That got his attention. "Carry me?" He looked past her, in the direction of his module, only the top edge of it still in sight. "Could you really carry me that far?"

"If I had to. Don't make me have to."

"Don't be such an anxious skin protrusion." He slapped the water with one gloved hand, then scooped a little up in his palms, looking closely at it again. "There doesn't seem to be a large variety of aquatic animals here, and it's still too shallow for anything big. But I think I know why the ocean is purple."

"Skin protrusion?" Aeryn asked, apparently not coldly enough to reclaim his attention.

"It's algee! Single-celled, but the water is full of it."

Aeryn stooped down to stare at the water too, feeling foolish. It just looked purple to her. "I don't see anything."

"They're too small for the naked eye, but you can see them with the oculars. Man, I wish I had something to take a sample. I wonder if they're the same as Earth…"

It had never even occurred to Aeryn that the oculars could be used on something so small. That they could be used to magnify at all. She didn't remember any training on that. "Why do you need a sample?" she asked, trying to focus the oculars on the water, and only getting a closer view of the deep red sand beneath.

"Just to study. I'm no life scientist, but this stuff is interesting! And before you ask, no, not study to make medicine, or a weapon, or food. I just want to know how they work." John stood up straight again, gesticulating around him. "All this stuff, everything, all the time is a bizarre mixture of things I understand, that are familiar, like beaches and shell-fish and farms. And things that I don't. I know you're blind to the mysteries of the universe, but some of us like to see."

That felt like a pointed jab at her inability to focus the oculars, but she didn't respond, just pulled the medpack out of her belt pocket, janked out an empty syringe, and activated it to suck up some of the purple water. Then she handed it to him. "You have a sample, satisfied?"

"Uh… yeah." He took the syringe, holding it up to the sun, and shaking it a little. "Thanks."

"Don't lose it," Aeryn started wading back to the beach. "If we bring back some microscopic alien and get sick, Zhaan will need it to try to save us."

Oneida — Expensive Air (Joyful Noise)

Two years after their album Success, on which they blended extended out improvisations and taut garage rock songs, Oneida returns with their 17th full length recording, Expensive Air. Once again, the band demonstrates mastery both of crafting hooks and building compelling long form pieces. Success was a favorite among a number of Dusted staff members, myself included. There’s little doubt that the positive vibes will be similar for Expensive Air.

The album is bookended by two extended jams, both loose, raucous, and ebullient. In between are shorter songs, chock-full of distorted guitars, a powerful rhythm section, and yawping vocals. Singer-multi-instrumentalist Bobby Matador (Robertson Thatcher) initially wrote all of the material as two to three minute starting points, developing them with the band into eight tracks clocking in at thirty-three minutes, abundant in variety.

Unlike Success, where a number of songs were muscular and lean, Expensive Air’s often include nearly as much experimentation as the extended material. Take the title track, where a bleeping note is juxtaposed with squalling downward slides, the guitars exploring dissonant intervals and unconventionally voiced barre chords. The rhythm section, guitarist/bassist Hanoi Jane (Francis McDermott) and drummer Kid Millions (John Colpitts) thunder in alt-rock fashion. “Stranger” finds Matador singing in No-Wave style over minimal guitars. “Salt’s” oscillating riff creates a ubiquitous underpinning, as does the intense playing once again of the rhythm section. Layers of electronics alternate with a doomy tune from Showtime (Shahin Motia) on “La Plage.” “Here it Comes” is an uptempo post punk anthem with an organ solo redolent of Manzarek and a great hook. The singing here isn’t by any means tuneful, hollering together into the void is more like it. Its energy may make you want to yell along.

Opening track “Reason to Hide,” clocking in at nearly seven-and-a-half minutes long, has a bass ostinato and ghostly synths that could be outtakes from Amnesiac. Kid Millions keeps up a forceful groove throughout, and clangorous guitars complete the intense atmosphere. A rough half-spoken vocal from Matador arrives a little more than halfway through, imitating the melody of the bassline but slower and with greater flexibility. Kid Millions joins in the singing, which tightens up and takes center stage. A coda brings out elements from the piece’s inception, ending energetically.

The final track, “Gunboats,” is another extended essay, this time eight minutes long. A minimally constructed guitar riff, dovetailing with the bass-line, is accompanied by fill-laden drumming from Millions. Gradually, a second guitar part enhances the texture, and Goth-hued singing begins in octaves. The guitars build screeching solos, accompanied with fervor by the rhythm section, and the proceedings end in collapse. “Gunboats” is a master class in indie rock intensity.

Eternal - Part Ten

A vampire!gvf multi-part dark romance AU (Josh Kiszka x reader, GVF x reader)

Warnings: 18+ Only Minors DNI. Mentions of blood, death, vampirism, drinking blood, smut, fingering (f! receiving)

WC: 2967

The late afternoon sun was warm against your skin, and you stretched like a cat on the large bath towel you had found and laid in the grass. The humidity had broken with a boisterous storm the night before, bringing the temperatures down to a balmy eighty-two degrees. It was a rare day lately that the heat was tolerable, and you’d made sure to get your fill of the sun while you could. You were oscillating between your front and back, cracking open a book Jake had suggested the night before to pass the time as you waited for your skin to soak up the sun. 

“Don’t you have work to do?” Danny chided jokingly, taking in the view of you laying on the large towel in the grass. You smiled at him, waving your hand in the air to dismiss the thought. You glanced up at him, his yellow shorts nearly glaring in the sun.

“The house is spotless, I have steaks marinating in the fridge for dinner and I’m going to enjoy this wonderful, sun filled day.” you responded. The timer on your phone went off, and you raised your upper body from the towel, grabbing your suntan lotion and holding out to the tall man in front of you. “Danny, could you get my back?” Danny nodded, taking the bottle from you and squirting some into his hand as you flipped over, laying face down on the towel. You heard Danny kneel down next to you, and the sound of his hands rubbing together before they touched your skin. The small shriek that escaped your lips from the cold lotion on your warm skin echoed across the estate. “That’s so cold!”

“I tried to warm it up!” Danny laughed, running his hands across your back. He put a little pressure in his touch, rubbing into the muscles of your shoulders as he rounded them. 

“That feels good.” you sighed, not realizing how tense your muscles had been recently. Danny continued to round your shoulders, digging in a little deeper every time now. You hummed into your towel, enjoying the relaxation. His hands moved down your back, taking their time as he rubbed the muscles under the string of your bathing suit top, trailing down to just above the hem of your bottoms. A small, quiet moan rumbled in your throat as his fingertips just grazed below them before they were pulled away.

“I think you’re properly protected from harmful UV rays now.” he cleared his throat. You propped yourself up on your elbows, flushing with slight embarrassment with how you’d gotten carried away. He gently placed the bottle of lotion by your side and stood up quickly, excusing himself back to the house. You bit your bottom lip laying back down and soaking up the suns rays as you felt the sinking weight of confusion in your stomach. 

From the moment you formally met him, Danny had become a confidant to you. Someone who you spent your waking hours with, talking with, bonding with. Though now you knew he was as old as the vampires in the home, Danny was one of the more normal and grounding pieces of your life. You found yourself looking forward to starting your day with him, drinking your coffees at the island in the kitchen, quietly waking up with every sip. You had to admit to yourself that the contented hums he made while sipping his coffee made your heart flip, just a little.

Feeling his hands on your body just then felt amazing, but you had to consider, were you just touched starved? Since you’d kicked Josh out of your room nearly a week ago, you had barely seen him. He hadn’t even visited for blood, and the last you had seen of him, he was looking paler than usual. When you had asked Danny, he seemed more than happy to explain it was from lack of feeding. It made you feel guilty, in a way, that he was suffering, but the minimal conversation you’d had with him still left room for more clarity. 

You laid out for a while longer, but you couldn’t concentrate on the words in the book any longer. A buzzing sound startled you, and you lifted up the towel to take out the burner style phone Jake had given you.

“Josh would prefer that if you’re adamant about leaving the house, we have a way to contact you.” he rolled his eyes, handing you the small phone. “Apparently Danny doesn’t answer texts quickly enough to his liking.” you curiously went through the contacts, only seeing the four of them. “We’re all in there. That one,” Jake tapped the screen, pulling up his own contact. “is that one you call for a good time.” your face blushed and you couldn’t look up him.

“Jake,” you huffed. “What is it with you brothers?”

“Just because we all get along, doesn’t mean we don’t covet what the other has.”

When you checked the screen, it was a message from Josh.

‘Come to the library.’

Sighing, you slowly got up from your towel, adjusting your swimsuit pieces as you bent back down and picked up your things, tucking them under your arm as you padded back into the manor. You decided to take your time, going to your room and changing in to a light sundress, something to keep cool as your skin held in the suns heat.

The sun was now mostly set as you left your room, heading towards the library, and you could tell the rest of the residents were awake now, seeing the youngest leaving his own room.

“Someone got some sun, today.” Sam sauntered down the hallway in your direction, casually reaching out towards you and letting his fingertips graze your face as he continued on his path. “Looking good, pet. But next time, feel free to lay out naked. Those tan lines are going to be garish.” you rolled your eyes as he let out a small whistle and you kept walking towards the study. You let yourself in, closing the door behind you softly. Josh was standing rigid by the window, hands behind his back, staring out into the night.

“Do you know what this window shows me?” he asked, his tone cool. You felt small as he continued to gaze through the glass. “Answer me.”

“It looks over the backyard.” you answered, your voice hushed as you backed against the doors behind you.

“That it does.” he nodded. “I couldn’t sleep today…I was restless. I came here to read and relax, and then I heard you scream.” you sucked in a quiet breath. You knew where this was going. “I thought something was wrong, I rushed to the window to see where you were, if I could save you and still protect myself. And what do I find?” you stayed silent, biting the tip of your tongue between your teeth. “I find you and Danny, with his hands all over your body.”

“He was just putting suntan lotion on my back.” you mumbled quietly. Josh’s head whipped towards you and he clenched his jaw, suddenly he was right in front of you.

“I may not have been able to enjoy the warmth of the sun in a few centuries, but I’m aware a liberal application of sunscreen doesn’t take ten minutes, and doesn’t cause women to emit sounds one should only hear in private.” In the blink of an eye, you were sat on the edge of the desk, his hands gripping your hips through your sundress. You gasped as his lips sucked a harsh mark against your shoulder and you gripped his shoulders. “Did you enjoy it, love? Did you like Danny’s hands on your body?” Josh let his own hands trail from your hips to your thighs, fingertips slipping beneath your skirt as he awaited your answer.

“Josh, please,” you shuddered, eyes falling closed at the feeling his hands inch closer and closer to the hem of your panties. 

“Answer me.” he demanded again. You whined softly as his lips and tongue dragged over your collarbone. “I won’t ask again.”

“Yes.” you breathed out. “Yes, I enjoyed it.” Josh’s hands left your skin and your eyes opened. He stared at you for a few moments before taking your chin in his hand, regarding you carefully. 

“If you’re craving touch, I’m more than happy to satisfy.” his hand left your jaw, his index finger starting a journey down your throat, between your breasts and down your stomach. “Should I remind you who brought you here? Who made you see stars from other galaxies?”

“Maybe you should.” you replied, letting your legs fall open as he slowly pushed up the hem of your dress. You didn’t know what happened when Josh had you like this, but your confidence soared and you found your voice to talk back. “If you don’t, I’m sure Sam would have no problem with doing so. You should’ve seen the way he looked at me when I was on my way in here.” As quickly as your voice ceased, you were on your back, Josh having pushed up your skirt to your hips. He let his fingertips run along the waistband of your panties now, toying with it as you caught your breath. 

“I’ve had just about enough of your smart mouth.” Josh ground out, yanking on the fabric in his hand, tearing it and letting it fall from you. “I should’ve drained you dry the moment I met you.” you opened your mouth to reply, but only a moan came out as his thumb found your clit, tapping it a few times with a smirk on his lips before slowly circling it, making you squirm below him. “It’s funny you mention Sam. He’s been begging for a taste of you since you got here.”

Your heart pounded in your chest, the idea of another vampire feeding from you. You licked your lips, arching your back slightly as Josh’s thumb pressed more firmly against your flesh in his dedicated circles. 

“Would you like that, love?” Josh hummed, leaning over you to press a kiss between your breasts that were threatening to spill out from the thin cotton fabric covering them. “To be shared with my brothers?” your mind went to Sam’s flirtations with you since you’d arrived, his half-empty promises of pleasure at his fingertips, and Jake’s silent, hungry looks. How Danny’s hands felt earlier while rubbing the lotion into your back. You could feel your thighs beginning to quake while Josh sped up his movements, chuckling under his breath, the warm air from his mouth creating goosebumps across your skin. 

“Y-yes,” you stammered out when he freed one of your breasts from the sundress, nipping the side of it softly and licking the minuscule drops of blood that beaded there. “Oh fuck,”

“If you thought I was rough the other night,” Josh murmured against your flesh, letting his middle and index finger of his occupied hand swirl around in your wetness and plunge into your core at a rapid pace. “You should see the state of the women that leave Jake’s bed chambers. He’s a brute. I think once I heard a bone crack, and I can assure you, it wasn’t one of his.”  

You were gripping onto the edge of the desk above your head now, writhing and raising your hips with every thrust of Josh’s hand, chasing the high that was barreling towards you at light speed. You could feel your nails digging into the lacquer on the wood, scraping it as you thought about the bruises his twin could leave on your body. 

“You’d be just a plaything for Sammy.” Josh sighed softly, a mocking, heartbroken look in his eyes. “He just teases and teases…he drove one of his lovers to madness once. The poor soul was locked in an asylum until their death. Many more were left on the brink. The only commitment he cares for is involuntary and as long as he gets his pleasure, he’ll leave you in whatever state of mind.”

You squeezed your eyes shut biting your bottom lip, trying not to let in the idea of Sam’s breath hot in your ear, whispering teasing phrases under his breath as he brought you closer and closer to release take over. 

“As for me, my love,” Josh’s free hand wrapped around your throat, dragging your upper body up from the table, the new angle of your hips rocketing you closer and closer as he curled his fingertips, brushing and pressing against the sweet spot inside of you. “You will always be my first priority.” a whimper left your throat as your hips bucked into Josh’s hand, the gaze he had you locked in heated your body through, your blood hot and rushing through your veins.

One of your hands latched onto his wrist, keeping his hand on your neck as the other scratched against the desk surface, leaving marks in their wake as your orgasm crashed over you. You tossed your head back, crying out as Josh shook your hand loose, moving his to the back of your head and leaning in, biting into the skin where your neck and shoulder met. You could feel the streams of warm blood trickle out around his lips and down your chest as you rode your high, grinding down onto his hand, arching your chest into his and trying to pull yourself closer. 

“Holy fuck, Josh!” you moaned as you felt him pull from you until you were cusping on light-headedness. He pulled away from you after licking the puncture wounds clean, taking his fingers from you as well and slowly inserting them into his mouth. You watched him lick his digits clean, before wiping your blood from his lips and chin with those same fingers and repeating the action again. 

“Did I satisfy your craving for touch, mon petit?” Josh asked softly when he was through, his wet, sticky hand grasping your chin softly. Your eyes were hooded and you nodded lazily. “Good.” he pressed a kiss to your lips as he shifted, lifting you into his arms. The trudge to your bedroom was slow, more for your dizzy sake than his, and you hid your face in his neck, but soon you were sat on the sink in your ensuite bathroom, a warm washcloth dabbing on your skin. The cream colored fabric was tinged pink as Josh softly buffed away the stains on your skin. 

“Did any get on my dress?” you asked quietly, and Josh chuckled. 

“A little.” the washcloth trailed down to neckline, dabbing there. “I’ll buy you a new one.”

“But I like this one.” you argued gently, a smirk tugging the corner of your lips. Josh let the damp rag rest between your breasts as his other hand cupped your face and kissed you again. 

“Then I’ll send it to the best dry cleaner money can buy. And if they can’t get it out, I’ll kill them for you, how does that sound?” you hummed at his words against your lips, knowing he was only half-joking about the last part.

“Sounds like too much work. Just buy a new one, then.” you pressed a smaller kiss to his lips and let him resume cleaning. Once he was satisfied with your skin being cleaned, he stood you up, pulling the dress over your head and tossing it towards the hamper, picking you back up and carrying you back into your bedroom. He flitted about the room, bringing back clothes from your dresser, a soft pair of cotton shorts and an old, oversized t-shirt he slid over your body effortlessly.  He tucked you under the large duvet, brushing the hair back from your face, as you head weighed down the soft pillow.

“Rest, my love.” he purred, your eyelids falling shut before you could stop them.

“I have to cook dinner.” you protested softly, your body refusing to stir the slightest bit under the blankets. “The steaks.”

“Jake will cook tonight.” Josh informed you. “You rest. I’ll make sure to save yours for you when you wake up.” you hummed as you drifted off, Josh’s voice becoming more and more distant. 

“You will be my first priority.” you heard it echoing around you, Josh’s voice on the wind. You spun around in the darkness, trying to find him. Your stomach dropped when you began to realize you were in another dream. It’d been so long since you’d had one, your guard was down.

“He lies,” a deeper, raspy voice boomed from behind you, making you spin again. A pair of red, glowing eyes were a few feet from you. You tried to scream but no sound came out, you kept trying but only a gurgling noise emitted from your throat. You placed a hand on your neck, feeling wetness. Pulling your hand away, you could tell even in your limited sight that the liquid coating your fingers was blood.  “He lies to you, child.”

You shook your head, protesting. You knew the voice was talking about Josh, and though your gut was still unsure of his true feelings for you, you refused to believe the deeper voice. The wind picked up and swirled, the smell of ash and smoke infiltrating your nostrils. Your throat burned, and you looked back up to the red eyes in the distance, seeing a sinister, fanged grin highlighted beneath them.

“I am coming for you, child.” you felt a shiver run down your spine. In a split second, whatever it was rushed towards you, making you erupt in a silent scream as a force hit your body, knocking you to the ground and into total darkness once again.

What does violin breathing do?

Also hiiii I really admire your art!!!!!

Hello!!! :D (thank you sm!!)

I don’t really know how exactly to explain, but I’ll try my best!! :-)

Violin breathing is designed to utilize sound and vibrations as powerful tools in combat! :D Xiaocheng kinda uses his breathing technique like a speaker sometimes and makes his violin SUPER loud lmfao

1. First Form: Resonance Slash

- **Description:** Xiaocheng plays a strong, resonant note that sends a wave of sharp sound vibrations forward, slicing through anything in its path.

- **Technique:** The bow’s movement mimics a powerful, deliberate stroke, creating a straight-line attack that can cut through obstacles and enemies with precision.

2. Second Form: Harmonic Echo

- **Description:** A series of rapid, high-pitched notes create an echoing effect, disorienting the enemy and making it difficult for them to pinpoint Xiaocheng’s location.

- **Technique:** By alternating between different notes, Xiaocheng generates a confusing array of sounds that seem to come from multiple directions, masking his movements.

3. Third Form: Serenade of Silence

- **Description:** A soft, tranquil melody is played, inducing a temporary state of calm and paralysis in weaker demons or distracting stronger ones.

- **Technique:** The soothing notes have a hypnotic effect, momentarily pacifying enemies and giving Xiaocheng an opportunity to strike or escape.

4. Fourth Form: Crescendo Blade

- **Description:** Xiaocheng plays an ascending scale, building energy with each note until it culminates in a powerful sonic blast.

- **Technique:** The final note releases a concentrated burst of sound waves that can cause physical damage and push back or stun enemies caught in its path.

5. Fifth Form: Vibrato Shield

- **Description:** Using a rapid, vibrating motion, Xiaocheng creates a barrier of sound waves that can deflect projectiles and dampen incoming attacks.

- **Technique:** The rapid oscillation of the bow produces a shield-like effect, distorting the air and creating a protective buffer against physical attacks.

6. Sixth Form: String Requiem

- **Description:** Xiaocheng plays a melancholic, yet beautiful piece that summons an array of cutting sound blades, each attack varying in direction and intensity.

- **Technique:** The haunting melody draws out multiple attacks in a single sequence, overwhelming the enemy with a barrage of sharp, slicing sound waves.

7. Seventh Form: Symphony of the Night

- **Description:** An elaborate and complex composition that utilizes the full range of the violin's notes, creating a large-scale, multi-directional assault that envelops the battlefield.

- **Technique:** This form combines elements of all previous forms, producing a symphony of attacks that can target multiple enemies at once, creating a mesmerizing yet deadly display of sound and light.

Thanks for the question! :D

ANAPHYLAXIS FILTER - WASPsynth multi-mode filter with double LFO and distortion

The ANAPHYLAXIS FILTER is a multi-mode filter with double LFO modulator for the CUTOFF frequency based the filter section of the notorious WASP synthesizer that was created by Electric Dream Plant in 1978. This standalone pedal version of the filter allows you to use it for the input signals of your choice. The FILTER MODE selector is a 4 position rotary switch (up to down: LOW PASS, BAND PASS, HIGH PASS and NOTCH) with the position indicated by small purple UV LEDs. The input signal is controlled with the GAIN control, that can boost even weaker input signal to overdrive the filter. A dedicated RESONANCE control determines the amount of RESONANCE  at the CUTOFF point, that of course has a control knob as well. Furthermore the RESONANCE has two settings: EXTREME (up) and NORMAL(down), selected with a toggle switch. In HIGH PASS mode the filter can self-oscillate without any input, in case you need a high frequency SINE WAVE oscillator. In that case the FREQUENCY can be dialed in with the CUTOFF control. A 3.5mm mono input socket for EXTERNAL CV (Beware only use max. +5VDC, everything else destroys the circuit!). This input is used to modulate the filter’s CUTOFF with external gear (as i demonstrate in a demo video of a previous build). But the ANAPHYLAXIS FILTER can do more, as it has 2 build in LFOs that are modulating the CUTOFF frequency, with independent SPEED and DEPTH controls, which allows to generate a more complex modulation waveform. Each LFO has a RANGE toggle that selects: SLOW (down) or FAST (up) as well a 3 position toggle switch that selects the SHAPE: SQUARE (down), OFF (middle) and triangle (up). The fast LFO range goes well into audio range and enables you to create  some very interesting frequency modulation filter effects. With slower rates, especially with the triangle shape and the 2 LFOs running at non-synced rates, even the most static sounding input get ‘alive’. The SPEED of each LFO is indicated by either red or green color in the big LED in the middle of the LFO section. The 1st stomp switch is TRUE BYPASS and if that is not enough, the 2nd stomp switch engages the DISTORTION, both with UV indicator LEDs. The level of the DISTORTION is controlled by the DISTORTION knob and the toggle switch next to it adds a TREBLE BOOST (up) or a HIGH CUT (down) setting to the DISTORTION. In the end of the signal path is a signal booster based on the EHX LBP1 with a global VOLUME control. The ANAPHYLAXIS FILTER runs on 9V DC and has a ‘boss style’ 2.1mm DC barrel plug socket with the negative pin inside. The enclosure is a heavy duty scavenged industrial engine power connector housing made from die-cast aluminum with a bottom plate made from found material and is painted in the industrial burnout camo pattern in matte black and bright yellow. Handmade by GRM for METSÄÄN. Sold.

“Sky Bound as Titans”

March 8th-29th 2025

Opening March 8th 6-9

Closing March 29 with artist talks and performance by Megan Bridge and Max Kline 2-5

“The heaventree of stars hung with humid nightblue fruit.”

― James Joyce, Ulysses

Transmedia artist Tyler Kline’s exhibition Skybound as Titans is the result of searching, error, iteration, mistakes, endurance, failure, folly, and vision. The artist collaborates with AI to build space ships; the hubris, arrogance, faith, and audacity to undergo such an endeavor is propellent towards a destination.

Sky Bound as Titans unfolds as a multi-dimensional epic, melding mythology, speculative science, and interspecies communion into a compelling meditation on the liminal moment in which we exist—a pivot between collapse and rebirth, the Anthropocene, Chthulucene, and the Sednacene. Channeling a hybrid sequential art narrative that traverses Earth’s environmental crises, Martian industrialization, and telepathic communion with hyper-sentient beings called the Kai-Sawn, Kline crafts a speculative cosmology that invites viewers to consider humanity’s fragile position within an interconnected universe.

AI-assisted portrait paintings serve as one of the sequential narrative currents.The portraits—bearing intricate, biomorphic distortions and vapor-wave growths—represent individuals transformed by their contact with the Kai-Sawn, a telepathic species of cephalopods trapped beneath Europa’s icy crust. These images evoke a narrative of mutual evolution, where humans and other beings merge minds, unlocking interstellar potential through shared consciousness (Geistdenkenheit).

The technique folds into the conceptual framework of the exhibition, braiding technology, biology, and spiritual mythologies. The technical journey of the portraits consists first of photographing the sitters. The digital photographs are entered into Midjourney, coupled with text prompts, the AI bot responds with forms that are printed out on an inkjet printer. These prints are then transferred to board using a gesso printing method, and the image becomes a support for an oil portrait painting that becomes a soft-machine communion between sitter and painter. Photographs of the end results create the next image iteration in a positive feedback loop. In conversation with Western art history, Kline nods to the Baroque tradition of dramatic yet personal portraiture while subverting it with surreal, hybrid-sapien aesthetics. The meticulous attention to detail in the painted faces recalls German New Objectivity, particularly the movement’s focus on clarity, precision, and subjective psychological intensity. Yet, Kline tempers this mediated objectivity with layers of emotional vulnerability, reflected in the expressive eyes and gestural brushstrokes surrounding the figures.

CAD-aided, 3d print modeled, lost wax cast bronze sculptures embody Kline’s conceptual framework of materializing myth, craft, and science, acting as artifacts and figures from a speculative future cosmology. The sculptures, such as abstracted heads of mythical entities and speculative technological forms, function as relics of a not-yet-realized epoch. The intricate latticework and alien materiality of the cast bronze is a poetic metaphor, forming the architecture of the Iron Cities of Mars and shaping the organic complexity of the Kai-Sawn themselves. The inclusion of braided, human hair in some sculptures heightens the tension between the signatures of human DNA and the post-human, creating a dance between carbon based life, silicon based life, and polymer entities.

Kline’s visual language oscillates between the ancient and the speculative, evoking a synthesis of mythos, theoretical physics, and contemporary technology. The turquoise patinas and intricate textures of the sculptures suggest an otherworldly membrane, as if these forms were artifacts excavated from a distant future. Meanwhile, the portraits’ luminous skin tones and textural disruptions point toward beings in flux, undergoing a profound transformation, the materiality of their being indistinguishable from the theoretical aesthetics. The forms carry the weight of a digital and visceral journey, resulting in palimpsest that speak of cyphers and sigils.

This aesthetic duality reflects the exhibition’s conceptual narrative: the emergence of the Sednacene, an epoch where humanity transcends its destructive tendencies and collaborates with other species to explore the cosmos. Kline draws on post-humanism and fluid identities, suggesting that survival in the Sednacene depends not on dominance but on interspecies kinship and adaptability—a far cry from the colonial ambitions that underlie humanity’s historical conquests. Issues of post-colonialism are critiqued, satired, and meditated upon; the Iron Cities of Mars is both utopic and a mirror into humanities hunger, raising questions about the ethics of planetary colonization and the persistence of extractive ideologies.

The narrative emphasizes the necessity of communion with other beings, reflecting a growing recognition of non-human intelligence and its implications for science, ethics, and spirituality ; probing humanity’s role in the cosmic order and using the concept of autopoiesis through an interactive journey transforming new media into intuitive viscera. The experience invites viewers to step into a world of flux, where humanity’s destination is arrived at not by domination but on the wings of symbiosis, adaptability, and radical imagination. In doing so, Kline offers a glimpse of a future where the shadows of our present crises are cultivated in service to the boundless potential of collective transformation.

…Philosophy has an affinity with despotism, due to its predilection for Platonic-fascist top-down solutions that always screw up viciously. Schizoanalysis works differently. It avoids Ideas, and sticks to diagrams. Networking software for accessing bodies without organs BwOs, machine singularities, or tractor fields emerging through the combination of parts(rather than into) their whole: arranging composite individuations in virtual/actual circuit, They are additive rather than substitutive, an immanent rather that transcendent: executed by functional complexes of currents, switches, and loops, caught in scaling reverberations, and fleeing through intercommunication, from the level of the integrated planetary systems ti that of atomic assemblages. Multiplicities captured by singularities interconnect as desiring-machines: dissipating entropy by dissociating flows, and recycling their mechanisms as self assembling chronogenic circuitry…nothing human makes it out of the near future. - Nick Land, Meltdown, Fanged Noumena

Electricity, Resistance, and Tunneling

What is Quantum Tunneling? The ability of elections to break barriers and this through walls?

Yes. Exactly. However; This is how electricity works. (I feel like I keep repeating myself here).

Electrons (or current) follows along a wire towards a positive charge (Voltage). And we use resistors in order to control the flow of current in a circuit.

The resistors discourage electrons from one side of a circuit to the path of least resistance. (Lol, geddit?) By disconnecting this wire "without resistance" (the quotes are because you cannot get rid of Resistance entirely) the current can go straight through the resistor.

Electrons travel *through* metal (or another conductive medium) it's simply how electronics work.

And so; when we get to tiny enough circuits, that Resistance is harder to create. And electrons go through the resistor, even when there's no power.

Which means they're also affected by latent static charge as well as the power that we want to control.

The "Wave" we keep hearing about has a bunch of different topics it covers. Light waves for one, waves created through a medium. But the one I haven't covered yet is what engineers, electricians, and mechanics would call "Phase".

"Phase" is a term used specifically for A/C(Alternating Current) and in order to generate multiple streams of power.

A basic generator has a single phase and can be recorded as a single waveform of high(positive) and low(negative) creating a back-and-forth pulling of electrons where voltage is present.

However many systems, such as aircraft, have multi-phase generators. This means that multiple different electrical waveforms are generated from a single generator.

The standard multi-phase generator is 3-phase.

And for the most sensitive electronics on the aircraft, the phase position can actually affect the operation of the equipment. As some are put specifically on certain paths with certain phases for a reason.

This harkens bank to early computer screens and oscillators used to generate images. But it'd be too complicated to go in depth here.

These phases, usually labeled A,B, and C are about 45° off from each other. Since they pull no current at the source, the generator, they don't interfere with each other.

Reference material states that it is if these phases add up to zero.

And so--what I have left to explain; Is exactly how this understanding of electric phases correlate with quantum mechanics and *states*

This will have to be done with a more coherent explanation of how current flows along voltage, and may not always flow through a path created from voltage (as above).

The Matrix 12 story, in all its glory

Arturia models it, to a tee

Unleash your creativity: the sky’s the limit!

The Matrix 12 story, in all its glory

The 1980s were an important – and interesting – decade in the synth world. Polyphony was becoming de rigueur and digital synthesis was gaining a foothold with the Yamaha DX-7 and various digital samplers, while stripped-down synths like the Juno 106 and Korg Poly 6 were making synthesis available to the masses. The stage was set for Tom Oberheim – who had been designing some of the best-sounding synths for over a decade – to introduce a no-holds-barred analog synth. And so the Oberheim Matrix 12 was unleashed upon the world in 1985. It was, indeed, an all-out assault on the state of the art, with glorious sonics and tantalizing modulation possibilities, but its near-five-grand price tag put it out of reach for all but a few fortunate souls. Around 1000 units were produced, many of which are still making music to this day.

Arturia models it, to a tee

When it comes to modeling vintage analog synths, many of us immediately think of Arturia – and with good reason. Their proprietary True Analog Emulation technology (TAE) is truly amazing, and is no doubt a critical component in some of the finest virtual synths we’ve heard. For the Matrix 12 V, Arturia modeled not only the tonal aspects of the original two oscillators and their waveforms, but the 15 filter modes as well. They knew that the Matrix 12’s famously rich, complex sound was forged by its multiple filter modes and by the numerous modulation sources and destinations on tap. With nearly endless modulation-routing possibilities, you can sculpt wonderfully organic sounds not possible with other synthesizers.

Unleash your creativity: the sky’s the limit!

The Matrix-12 V is, just like its hardware predecessor, a multitimbral instrument. In Multi mode, each of the 12 notes can voice a different sound. These sounds can then be split on different zones of your keyboard, transposed individually, played unison – you get the idea! And Matrix 12 V’s elegant software interface makes configuring all this a cinch. While the original Matrix 12 was an amazing synthesis achievement, Arturia upped the ante by adding a new effects chain for additional sound processing. They also doubled the allowable number of modulations from 20 to 40, giving you even more creative options. Factor in the ability to control all of Matrix 12 V’s parameters via MIDI, letting you perform automation in your DAW, and you’ve got a total beast of a soft synth.

Emerging Small-Scale Wave Energy Technologies Transforming Coastal Power in 2025

Small-scale wave energy technologies are rapidly emerging as a promising solution for off-grid coastal power, offering high energy density and minimal environmental impact. As interest in renewable marine energy grows, wave energy—often searched as wave for energy—is gaining attention for its ability to deliver consistent, clean power even at a smaller scale. This article continues our exploration of wave energy, building upon insights from our previous features: The Power of Ocean Energy: Small-Scale Solutions for Sustainable Communities and Eco Wave Power Gibraltar: A Small-Scale Wave Energy Breakthrough. While earlier articles introduced the potential of small-scale wave systems and highlighted pioneering projects like Eco Wave Power Gibraltar, this piece dives deeper into emerging technologies such as WaveRoller, Penguin, and mWave—analyzing their innovations, scalability, and what they mean for the future of sustainable coastal energy by 2025.

Key Innovations in Development

WaveRoller by AW-Energy: Subsea Wave Energy for Coastal Power Overview Finnish company AW-Energy has developed WaveRoller, a seabed-anchored wave energy converter designed to harness the kinetic power of nearshore wave surges. While the system was initially created for larger utility-scale installations, it is now being explored for small-scale renewable energy applications, particularly in off-grid coastal regions and island communities seeking sustainable power solutions. Technology WaveRoller is installed in shallow waters, where it uses large vertical panels that oscillate with the movement of incoming and outgoing waves. This back-and-forth motion is converted into hydraulic energy, which drives a turbine connected to an electric generator. Because the system is fully submerged, it benefits from protection against storm damage and has minimal impact on the seascape—making it well-suited for deployment in environmentally sensitive marine areas. Potential and Scalability WaveRoller’s evolving design opens up several opportunities for adaptation to small-scale needs: High energy density: Wave energy provides more concentrated power than solar or wind, allowing compact systems to generate meaningful output even at lower scales. Modular adaptability: Future versions may support smaller, decentralized installations for local grids, remote villages, or backup power in isolated locations. Durability improvements: Advances in corrosion-resistant materials and intelligent control systems can improve long-term reliability and reduce maintenance requirements. Hybrid integration: When combined with solar panels or energy storage systems, WaveRoller could form part of a resilient, off-grid power network.

WaveRoller by AW-Energy – a seabed-anchored wave energy converter designed for nearshore power generation. Wello’s Penguin Device: Floating Wave Power with Rotational Efficiency Overview Developed by Finnish company Wello Oy, the Penguin device is a floating wave energy converter that generates electricity through the movement of an internal rotating mass. Unlike traditional hydraulic-based systems, the Penguin operates mechanically, with no external moving parts. This simplicity increases its durability and makes it particularly well-suited for deployment in rough ocean conditions. The system is designed to float on the surface of the sea, where it captures energy from multi-directional waves. Its unique asymmetrical hull enables it to respond effectively to wave action from any direction, making it highly adaptable to varying marine environments. Technology At the heart of the Penguin device is a sealed structure containing a large internal mass. As waves cause the floating vessel to pitch and roll, the internal mass rotates, converting this kinetic motion into electrical energy via a generator. The device’s fully enclosed design significantly reduces mechanical wear and maintenance needs, enhancing long-term reliability. Key technological advantages include: Asymmetrical hull design that allows efficient energy capture from waves regardless of their direction Internal rotating mass system, which eliminates the need for external hydraulics or pistons No external moving parts, reducing mechanical failure risks and enabling operation in extreme conditions Potential and Scalability The Penguin’s modular design and operational resilience make it a compelling option for a wide range of marine applications: Durability in harsh conditions: The system has undergone real-world testing in the North Atlantic, where it withstood powerful waves and weather without performance degradation Flexible deployment: The technology supports both individual units for localized power and large arrays for grid-connected installations or utility-scale farms Low maintenance requirements: The enclosed structure minimizes exposure to seawater and debris, lowering long-term operating costs Hybrid energy applications: The Penguin can potentially be co-located with offshore wind farms or integrated into aquaculture facilities to create multi-use energy platforms

Wello’s Penguin wave energy converter—designed for low maintenance and high resilience in offshore environments. Bombora’s mWave: Submerged Membrane Technology for Nearshore Power Overview Australian company Bombora is developing mWave, an innovative submerged wave energy converter that uses a flexible membrane system to harness the power of nearshore waves. Operating below the surface of the water, mWave is designed to minimize visual impact while offering consistent, clean energy production. Its low-profile design and modular construction make it suitable for both commercial and small-scale renewable energy applications, especially in coastal communities and island microgrids. Technology Unlike traditional surface-based wave energy systems, mWave is fixed to the seabed. As waves pass overhead, the movement of water causes its flexible membrane to compress and expand. This motion forces air through internal chambers, driving a unidirectional turbine that generates electricity. Key technical features include: Flexible membrane system that reacts to passing waves by compressing air through internal channels Unidirectional airflow turbine that ensures continuous energy conversion regardless of wave direction Fixed seabed installation for stability and protection from surface turbulence and extreme weather By operating below the waterline, mWave reduces environmental and visual disruption while benefiting from more stable wave patterns found at depth. Potential and Scalability mWave has been engineered with adaptability in mind, making it viable for a range of energy production scales and environments: Modular and scalable design: Can be adjusted for small-scale deployment or expanded into large wave farms for utility-scale generation High energy consistency: Submerged systems capture more stable wave energy, improving output reliability Low environmental footprint: The system's underwater placement helps preserve marine vistas and limits noise pollution, making it ideal for protected or tourism-sensitive areas Hybrid energy integration: mWave can be co-located with offshore wind turbines or floating solar platforms to create combined renewable energy hubs

Challenges in Small-Scale Wave Energy Development

While small-scale wave energy technologies show great promise, several key challenges continue to limit their widespread adoption. These obstacles are both technical and economic in nature, and overcoming them will be essential to making wave energy a viable solution for off-grid and coastal power systems. Cost vs. Efficiency Compared to established renewables like solar and wind, wave energy systems remain costly to develop and deploy, especially at small scale. Many technologies are still in early prototype stages and must demonstrate competitive performance and long-term reliability to attract investment. Manufacturing and installation costs are currently high, particularly for systems deployed in marine environments Economies of scale have not yet been realized for small-scale wave energy converters Maintenance and component replacement costs can be significant without robust, low-cost design innovation Environmental and Regulatory Constraints Although wave energy is generally low-impact, environmental concerns and permitting processes can pose delays or complications. Potential disturbance to marine ecosystems must be carefully assessed during planning and deployment Compliance with national and international marine regulations can be complex and time-consuming Community acceptance and visual impact, even with submerged systems, may affect siting decisions Energy Storage and Variability Wave energy is inherently variable, depending on ocean conditions, seasons, and weather patterns. Without reliable storage solutions, small-scale systems risk intermittent power supply. Energy output fluctuates with wave height and frequency Battery or hybrid system integration is required to smooth supply Real-time control systems are needed to optimize output and reduce losses Scaling Down Complex Systems Many wave energy technologies were originally developed for utility-scale deployment. Adapting them to smaller installations requires significant re-engineering. Miniaturization must maintain or improve efficiency Structural and control systems need to be simplified and ruggedized for small units Research and development funding is often limited for niche, small-scale energy solutions

The Road Ahead: What to Expect by 2025

Although small-scale wave energy technologies are still in the early stages of commercialization, momentum is building as governments, innovators, and coastal communities seek more resilient and localized renewable energy solutions. Several key developments are expected to shape the sector by 2025. Pilot Projects Provide Critical Data New pilot installations are emerging across Europe, Asia, and island regions. These projects aim to test system performance, environmental impact, and integration with existing power infrastructure. For example, platforms like Exowave and scaled-down versions of WaveRoller are being prepared for real-world testing. Results will help refine system designs and optimize deployment strategies Data collected will inform future investments and policy frameworks Demonstrations increase visibility and public trust in wave energy technologies Growth of Hybrid Energy Systems To overcome wave energy’s variability, developers are increasingly exploring hybrid configurations that combine wave, wind, solar, and battery storage. Hybrid systems improve energy reliability and expand use cases, especially in remote or off-grid areas Wave energy complements other renewables by producing power during overcast or low-wind conditions Integration with aquaculture or desalination operations offers multi-purpose marine infrastructure potential Expanding Policy Support Climate targets and renewable energy policy initiatives are beginning to recognize marine energy as part of a balanced energy mix. Some countries offer grants or incentives specifically for ocean-based technologies Simplified permitting for small-scale coastal systems could accelerate adoption Public funding for research and demonstration is likely to increase, reducing barriers for startups Broader Market Readiness As the technology matures, small-scale wave energy systems could begin to transition from pilot to commercial-ready status. By 2025: Early adopters may include off-grid islands, remote coastal villages, and marine industries Supply chain partnerships and standardized components will lower costs Consumer awareness and acceptance of marine renewables will continue to grow

Conclusion: Small-Scale Wave Energy on the Horizon

Small-scale wave energy technologies are steadily advancing from concept to practical application. As developers continue to refine systems like WaveRoller, Penguin, and mWave, the path toward sustainable marine energy becomes clearer. While challenges remain in cost, scalability, and regulation, recent innovations and supportive policies suggest that wave energy could soon become a vital component in the global renewable energy mix—particularly for coastal and island communities seeking clean, independent power. Continued collaboration between researchers, governments, and industry will be essential to unlock the full potential of this underutilized energy source. The next few years will be pivotal in determining whether small-scale wave energy can move beyond pilot projects and into widespread deployment.
