#Sound Library

[sound-notes]

Library of the First Recordings of Music Ever Made, Courtesy of the University of California-Santa Barbara

“Before MP3s, CDs, cassettes and vinyl records, people listened to … cylinders. First made of tinfoil, then wax and plastic, cylinder recordings, commonly the size and shape of a soda can, were the first commercially produced sound recordings in the decades around the turn of the 20th century.

The UCSB Library, with funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Grammy Foundation, and donors, has created a digital collection of more than 10,000 cylinder recordings held by the UCSB Library. To bring these recordings to a wider audience, the Library makes them available to download or stream online for free.

This searchable database features all types of recordings made from the late 1800s to early 1900s, including popular songs, vaudeville acts, classical and operatic music, comedic monologues, ethnic and foreign recordings, speeches and readings.”

Here’s a list of times Danny has been spotted by the townspeople as Phantom outside of ghost fights!

1.) Laying down half asleep on a traffic light post, no one saw him fall

2.) Standing outside on the street during a big blizzard sipping what people are guessing was hot cocoa

3.) On the roof of Casper High looking at the sky

4.) In Casper High’s library browsing the outer space section

5.) In the park playing with a ghost puppy, who unfortunately kept turning into a large ghost dog and growling at anyone who tried to come close (it’s worth noting that Phantom kept trying to calm him down and apologizing, with the exception of Maddie, who seemed to make the ghost dog even angrier)

6.) Having a friendly chat with a large ghost wolf in the nearby woods

7.) On the street during a blizzard, waving at a large ghost resembling a yeti and going “Hi, dad! :D”

8.) Asleep on one of those couches in the local library with a book on astrophysics on his chest

Man, I am SO bad at updating. I'm also bad at regularly putting out videos and music, so there's that. I'll try to be better!

Ever have that moment where you're cleaning up your house and the next thing you know it's six hours later and you've been distracted the whole time by something you found in the mess?

That was me today. Except with Cubase and my sound library template, where I was distracted with an idea, got zero template-ing organized and came out the other end with a new song.

Enjoy.

I love libraries.

I'm browsing the WWI shelves (as you do) and notice a very old book about the war. I glance at the first pages that talk about how one day the war will be over and we'll look at this place and not see any signs of the battlefield.

Then it hits me. And I check the publishing date.

This book was printed before the war's end. Not written. Printed. The physical object was created in 1918, while the war in question was raging and the end was as yet uncertain.

Now I'm standing on the other side of the apocalypse, with this physical link to that era in my hands. I'm living proof that the war did end and life did go on and we can all look at the end of the world as a long-ago memory.

Reading old books is cool enough, connecting our minds and hearts through the ideas of people who lived long ago, but there's something extra profound about holding a copy of the book that comes from the time that it was written. It's a physical link between the past and the present connecting me to those long-ago people. A piece of the past come into the future that gives me the chance to almost take the hand of some long-ago reader, to hold something they could have held, connecting not just mentally but physically to their era, a moment of connection across more than a century.

Excuse me while I go weep.

What noise does a baby chicken make?

As you watch those new baby chicks drift off to sleep in their brooder, you will hear quiet, subtle, melodic sounds that would be easy to mistake for a cat's purr. Don't be mistaken — these are pleasure trills, a chick's expression of utter contentment.

SHOUT OUT to people whose self inserts are taller than their F/Os. Shout out to people who like feeling like the Protector™ or the Big Strong One™ in their relationship w their F/O.

Shout out to people who daydream abt their F/Os head on their chest, or being the big spoon, or picking up their F/O to spin them around, or flustering their F/O until they turn away. Shout out to people who need to care for their F/O at least once daily or they'll EXPLODE.

Shout out to y'all you're cool

pro/comship dni pls 👍

You see, Hokma and Jack having the same voice actor does little good to my already damaged brain

(the first pic references Limbus Company battle announcer lines when skill3/E.G.O does little damage)

LOVE when my fandom interests go into the realm of academia. Did I get a book on ancient Egypt from my library just so I can make Ahkmenrah headcanons and understand his character better? Yes. Did I buy an anthology of Walt Whitman’s poems because he’s a central part of Dead Poets Society? Yes and every poem slaps!! Do I want to go into anthropology because Bones introduced me to the field? Absolutely! If fandom helps you discover interests and topics that you may not have explored otherwise, then the media has succeeded, and don’t let ANYONE tell you otherwise!!

I have a friend who played ISAT recently and they finished in thirty-six loops.

Thirty-six.

36.

I have

No idea how

They completed the entire game in 36 loops

They got bad touch, they got sus, they got 2/3 go throughs after friend quests, they got so many of the side quests if not almost all and they finished in THIRTY. SIX. LOOPS.

I have no idea how often they died to sadnesses or anything, assuming none.

I don’t even know how the hell they did that in general because you would assume the entire game is more than thirty-six loops, yet they did that and MORE in less?

They didn’t get the loop dagger scene though. Because siffrin didn’t get to that point before they went into act five (or whatever the cutoff for getting that scene is)

Because they didn’t reach the qualifications for it

And each time they died they went back to Dormont and spoke to loop, so they ran through the entire house ever loop

And completed the game

IN THIRTY-SIX LOOPS.

They didn’t even have memory of self on.

I’m so confused

I’m so intrigued

I’m so awestruck

I’m so impressed

I’m so C O N F U S E D

I am considering tagging insertdisc5 but I don’t want to bother them with my intrigue on how this happened

Cause it is just genuinely intriguing

how…how did you get through in such few loops…and get so much completion…

THIRTY SIX

Anyway

It’s 04:58 good night

Maybe

Theres something about big booktoker/booktuber shelves that really heebies my jeebies

[valtsv]

YA novels these days are always named some cool sounding shit like "queen of blood and bone" or "the dragon assassin" but then contain neither goth necromancer royalty nor dragons, just the same cut and paste characters and tropes in different situations. it's like clickbait for books.

I have this small, deeply personal headcanon that after his grandmother's passing, Alhaitham's home was so unbearably quiet that he started--just barely, just one or two words--to speak out loud to her as if she was still there.

"I've been accepted to the Akademiya, Grandmother."

"I passed my promotion exams."

"I debated with Haravatat's sage."

Just that, and quiet again.

But one day, it's: "I met someone strange."

"He keeps showing up when I'm trying to study."

"We don't agree on anything. Still..."

"I made a friend."

"Today, Kaveh and I were researching--"

"It's already dark. I didn't realize we spent so long in Razan Garden. Kaveh wanted to hear about my article--"

"He's going to be furious when I tell him the whole point for his portion of the lecture is based on a false predicate--"

The house where his grandmother used to be gets a little louder again; the noise lasts a little longer.

Until one day, when there's no words at all.

One day, when there's just the sound of a single sob, and then a long, long silence.

new modules, new reading lists, and new multi vitamins are doing wonders for my motivation

unlike the professor who released our class details three days ago - our books should arrive on time but how much we can read by next week is…questionable

at least the storms are over. storm isha tik toks were right, battling the wind as a student with no car is really not it

Two dudes were stuck in a pipe filling up with water. I managed to turn off the flow of water but couldn't find the wire to drain the pipe.

Some person in the library pointed to one section and said the drain wire is in the Alfredo sauce. So I walked around desperately looking at an absurd number of security cameras in the library looking for one covered in Alfredo sauce.
