The big brain move was to ask them first, thereby proving you wanted to use their IP.
If he had just faked it anyway without asking he might have got away with it.
Genius strategist.
I do find it interesting that folk think Renaissance art is realistic.
I'm being a little glib, but the truth is that we are still looking at hyper-idealised bodies.
The main difference,I suspect, is the use of perspective rather than drawing on a flat plane. In a way it took a leap of imagination to make things look more "realistic" whilst sculpture was merely (again, said with a certain smirk) just mimicking what the artist could see and feel in the real world.
That is to say that sculpture is reproduction whilst drawing is representation, and with representation you need to be able to take some pretty big leaps for both the artist and the viewer to work these things out.
I don't think that's true. There's a great video here that highlights the fact that even a lot of modern slang is far older than you think.
Mate, the thing about gen x is that they dont care. This is boomer energy being projected.
Which is cool, I guess, whatever.
Is the Tarot Deck above or below the Holodeck?
Pretty sure we had Halloween before the US even existed.
Admittedly we had to carve turnips.
Some still do.
It replaces workers with robots so it would probably save money too.
And now the workers cannot afford bread.
Next move?
I'm interested to hear what everyone uses as an alternative.
At this point the rancid odor is one of his more endearing qualities.
Someone once pointed out to me that what I consider small talk might be someone else's important.
Sure it might seem like gossip or chat about the weather just for the sake of talking but it can equally be someone trying to say that they are lonely and need reassurance.
I think about that a lot and I've become a lot more tolerant. Besides, you can segue into some pretty big chat from such humble starts.
You can use this railcard on trains between two hours (we'll tell you which on the day) but only during periods where phases of the moon are alphabetically perpendicular to the number of days remaining in the month and when the temperature at sea level near a place you've never been to is equivalent to the sum of three primes.
This is from Northern. The last time I travelled on their trains a group of kids were racially abusing passengers and throwing coins at people as well as setting off fire extinguishers in the carriage. The ticket collector guard ran and hid with the driver and left it for us to deal with.
You missed the meeting huh?
We all agreed that one doesn't exist. For reasons.
What were we talking about, I forget?
The second it becomes the standard is the second google looks for ways of nerfing it.
I miss text-based tutorials
When I use the internet to learn, I don't want to have to spend 2 minutes watching an advert, then try to decipher an accent I can barely understand whilst a 15 year old speed runs the task whilst seemingly skipping crucial steps in a video.
I want the steps written down. Maybe with diagrams.
I'm old. Learning is hard enough.

another modernist synth experiment
I'm calling this 'West Coast Main Line' after the section of rail that passes through where I live.
Again, I'm using the Pro-1, a Volca Keys and an Uno Synth. This time a Model:Samples is playing a looped section.
I'm looking here about recreating the rhythm of rail using a phasing technique.
There's a bandcamp version too, where the track is free to download, if you prefer.
As before, please feel free to share any of your experiments too.
A day at the beach
Hello, long time listener, first time caller...
I just wanted to say hi. I'm very much interested in the grain, the unplanned and the documentary when it comes to analogue photography.
This one was shot on fomapan 400 and an Optima 335 that I've had in my jacket pocket for a while.
Lost at Sea - a modest modernist symphony with monosynths
track by Competition Speedcube
Hello!
I though you might like the more nerdier details about this track.
The equipment is a Pro-1, an Uno Synth and a Volca Keys (set to octave). All running through a Behringer xenyx and recorded on a tascam dp 006.
I used an Sq-64 for the sequencing, which was a steep learning curve but I think it came out ok.
In terms of the music I was particularly interested in timbrality changes and phasing as well as emergent patterns. I'd planned for the piece to be around an hour long, but it came to a natural conclusion at the 21 minute mark and I went with that.
There's also a version on YouTube here, where I used the recorded midi output to create an animation. It was a bit of an afterthought, but I think it might make some great and complex visuals down the line as a technique.
Ok, thank you for your time.
Lost at Sea - A Modernist Music Piece for Three Analogue Synths
Long time listener, first time caller.
My first post to Lemmy is a piece of modernist music I've made for three synthesizers.
In this case, I used a Behringer Pro-1, an Uno Synth, and a Volca Keys.
I'm very much interested in repetition and emergent rhythms. Feel free to share some of your own work if you think I'd be into it.
