✞✞✞ - Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein - ✞✞✞

The Feynman point is a sequence of six 9s that begins at the 762nd decimal place of the decimal representation of π. It is named after physicist Richard Feynman, who once stated during a lecture that he would like to memorize the digits of π until that point, so he could recite them and quip "nine nine nine nine nine nine and so on".

In Greek mythology, Echo (Greek: Ἠχώ, Ēkhō; "Sound") was an Oread ( a mountain nymph ) who loved her own voice. Zeus loved consorting with beautiful nymphs and visited them on Earth often.

Feynmans Echo, is a blog devoted to neither π or Greek Mythology. The shared theme is that of repetition, space and infinity. Repetition forms structure and pattern. Sonically a repetition could be percussive but on a microphonic level would become a drone. Music, in all forms harbours varied degrees of repetition, either physically, sonically or compositionally ( leit-motives etc ). Feynman's Point, is a series of five 9's. Spoken or shouted, this phrase could be misinterpreted germanically, as 'no, no, no, no, no' or as an ominous echo of an isolated cry for help.

Yoga

Labels: , , ,





Yoga on Holy Mountain Records (tracks from their 'Megafauna' LP). Blurb from Holy Mountain Records: Understand this: Yoga dispenses a sinister frailty of howling swells in hissing static that combusts into crawling shock heaps, to the effect of Mayhem performing Twin Peaks incidentals in a prairie recorded by The KLF. A brief description casts them as black metal's answer to Throbbing Gristle. The texture-based rendering of their compositionssails them on a strange sea between song and sound effect as itbobs along the waves like a dead man s bottled message. Aspects of Goblin rehearsals in dead hills is interrupted as Monster Zero carves mountain sides with lightning breath. Oscillating leads pummel into churning riffs as if Caledonia was performed in an echo chamber near Lodi, New Jersey. The extrinsic properties of this work may result in disambiguation.
