Oggi è #BandcampFriday. È quindi il momento più propizio per supportare i musicisti e compositori di nicchia -- quelli che fanno musica per la musica; quelli che, come diceva Zappa, non hanno alcun potenziale commerciale.

Tra questi ci sono anche io. Faccio musica "strana", non convenzionale, che nasce dentro di me per un bisogno personale di esprimere liberamente quel che musicalmente "sono". Ne vien fuori un misto di jazz, elementi neoclassici, avant-pop. Se vi va di ascoltarne qualcosa, ecco il mio ultimo lavoro, "K'ux":

Tutta la mia musica è su #Bandcamp e si può ascoltare e scaricare da https://eidon.bandcamp.com/. Spero vi piaccia e magari possa regalarvi qualche emozione.

So this year, the #opensource destroyed, the concept, that if you have a lot of money you can win always, after #Deepseek, now #Blender, millions of dollars, according to the judges they were not enough to win the #Oscar.
#Flow won against #Disney, U.P. #DreamWorks and #Netflix. #b3d #Blender3d, and don't forget who else has lost, #Autodesk, #maya.
And many others should be included in this list, as like some sites that no longer exist today, such as #CGTalk.

Ecco il mio ultimo lavoro, K'ux. Sedici brani per il mio sedicesimo album. Un misto di jazz, musica neoclassica e avant-pop. Spero che vi piaccia quanto è piaciuto a me comporlo.

“K'ux si riferisce al cuore come alla fonte dello 'spirito vitale' di una cosa, o ciò che le dà vita. Secondo il dizionario di Coto, si ritiene che sia anche il centro del pensiero e dell'immaginazione”. (Popol Vuh: Libro Sacro del Popolo Quiché Maya, di AJ Christenson)

“The Crux of the Biscuit is the apostrophe”. (Frank Zappa)

Most people from Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula believed the source of the Mayan culture’s revered blue dye was long gone. The iconic dye resembled that of the nearby Caribbean Sea and was used to paint pottery, sculptures, jewelry and more. But Luis May Ku, a ceramist in Mexico, retraced his Mayan roots to recreate the pre-Hispanic pigment for the first time in more than two centuries. Read more from @AlJazeera [flipboard.com]

Per scelta sui social come IG ho deciso di non postare più, ma di aiutare nella divulgazione con le storie. Concettualmente mi piace pensare che tutto quello che li do a disposizione per 24 ore, qui resta "per sempre"
Vi condivido questo screen preso da una storia in cui taggo i canali dei tre ragazzi con cui sono stato in live.

Ringrazio sempre @kenobit per il suo lavoro di divulgazione su questi temi 💚

Today in Writing History July 12, 1562: Fray Diego de Landa, Bishop of Yucatán, burned the sacred idols and books of the Maya. There were many Mayan books in print at the time of the conquest. They were produced as codices, or folding books, printed on bark paper by professional scribes and were the main written record of Maya civilization. De Landa wrote: “We found a large number of books in these characters and, as they contained nothing in which were not to be seen as superstition and lies of the devil, we burned them all, which they regretted to an amazing degree, and which caused them much affliction.” There are four known Mayan codices still in existence.

New account, new #introduction

I'm Ryan, a senior pipeline TD at #Laika in #PDX #Portland. I am in a love/hate relationship with #maya, cordial with #openUSD, and frolicking with #python

Outside of my job, I enjoy #woodworking, riding my #ebike, and #boardGames if I ever overcome my pandemic inertia.

My posts are predominantly musings about my job in #vfx, or inflicting my neurospicy random thoughts on y'all.

I moved from mograph.social for better connectivity with the greater Fediverse.
