To salute our norwegians brethren, maneuvering
on and along high, echoing mountains, along deep fjords, in a very
cool way (as well as running cruises in the caribbean
islands, on heavy metal produced by finns)

But one need to appreciate some basic things.
- long distances, lots of empty space between, but
better mountain acoustics than in the forests of
Finland.
- the sound of the girls and cows when the girls go out
to get the cows home, the acoustics of it all.
- that the Bach tempered scale made all the violinist
tremble like old men (quote by Miles Davis, who
survived on grass, like a horse, we and
norwegians eat horse too)
- the DSP-like issues of vibrating organs and
bodily cavities, just like in LPC vocoders and natural
shouts and screams, moanings,etc.
That is:
- the hardanger violin is the only surviving medieval
violin, played with "natural scales", not logarithmic,
no vibrato, sounds pure like a lonely cow or girl, depends on
intentions, but where there are cows there are usually
girls too, to bring home.
Ilmarinen
We and the Norse have this very old common thing in
the intermarrying north, as well as that thing inbetween,
the swedes.
(now they got oil and we Nokia, with something squeezed inbetween)
From a telecom point of view those radio-echoing
mountain sides are the most important, a tough
enviroment. |
