@BrodieOnLinux also, don't use a bar on your desktop to show the time. if you want to know the time, buy a clock to put on your wall that doesn't take up valuable screen estate!
You probably know Beth Gibbons as the singer, lyricist, and soul of the English trip-hop trio Portishead. She later released an album with Talk Talk’s bassist Paul Webb a.k.a. Rustin Man as well. All of that is outstanding, highly original, and always moving music.
But did you know that she also recorded “Symphony No. 3” by Polish composer Henryk Górecki? Well, I sure didn’t, but she did, together with the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra and conductor Krzysztof Penderecki, a famous composer in his own right from the European country.
The live recordings were filmed, parts are on YouTube, and I urge you to watch and listen. Words fail to desribe this miracle.
As a bonus track, why don’t you listen to Beth Gibbon and Rustin Man’s performance of their album “Out of Season” at Swiss Paléo Festival in 2003, with a complete band setup full of sonic suprises; violin, melodica, pump organ, accordion, to mention a few.

I called this piece "schelphoorn]", which is the Dutch word for seashell horn, aka the conch. That's an ancient wind instrument "that has been played in many Pacific Island countries, as well as South America and Southern Asia" (that's from Wikipedia). The sound that you can hear at the beginning of this track is that of a conch shell. It makes me think of the very first musical souls of our species, who found a way to express themselves before the first instruments were created. I wonder which rhythms did the first human musician create, on their conch...
My name is Thomas, but some folks call me Gull. I'm in my early thirties, and I live in #Canada , in the #Vancouver area. I'm a major #introvert , and I prefer to keep my life simple, with #minimalism and #anticonsumerism in mind.

I call this a systemic failure in Software Architecture.

Built in 2023, looks like DIY ( photos.zillowstatic.com )
Lot of space, good price, nothing more. Says it was built in 2023, might not be finished. Would be better if it was just an empty lot....
