"Sounds and Silence"
Travels with Manfred Eicher
A film by Peter Guyer and Norbert Wiedmer
Album Produced by Manfred Eicher
"It’s about artistic substance and musical quality and about the very special conditions of the creation. In spite of the size and diversity of the output which by now compasses more than a thousand publifications and in spite of the commercial success ECM doesn’t produce mainstream."
ECMレーベルを取材したドキュメンタリー映画、"Sounds and Silence"。このアルバムは、そのサウンドトラックというコンセプトに基づいたコンピレーションで、ECMの多国籍で汎ジャンルながら、透徹した静謐な美学と音楽嗜好性を既存の音源から逆サンプルし、Manfred Eicherの見据える地平を叙情的に描き出した、一遍の旅のアルバムでもある。
孤独な旅の中に音楽そのものの憩いや癒しを見出すDino Saluzziのタンゴから、Eleni Karaindrouの"Music for the film"。Vincente Greco"Ojos Negros"のエキゾチックで異国情緒溢れるシーケンス。それぞれの楽曲が、このサウンド・トラックのコンテクストに配置されることにより、自身が音楽という表現行為と市場原理の狭間において、如何に特別な意味を与えられて存在しているか、という再定義にさえ通じている気がする。
そして、ペルトの"Da Pacem Domine"での締め、あたかもECMが抱擁するものを総括するかのように、天上に至るがごとき浮揚感と視覚的俯瞰性が重厚に奏でられている。
The left clip is a segment of the movie that the subject viewed while in the magnet. The right clip shows the reconstruction of this movie from brain activity measured using fMRI. The reconstruction was obtained using only each subject's brain activity and a library of 18 million seconds of random YouTube video. (In brief, the algorithm processes each of the 18 million clips through the brain model, and identifies the clips that would have produced brain activity as similar to the measured brain activity as possible.
The clips used to fit the model, those used to test the model and those used to reconstruct the stimulus were entirely separate.) Brain activity was sampled every one second, and each one-second section of the viewed movie was reconstructed separately.

1st Album"Epicon"はリリース後、しばらくは一部のマニアックな音楽リスナー層の間で支持を受けたものの、実際にセールスが爆発したのは映画予告編での周知が浸透し、特に大ヒット曲"Orchard Of Mines"のポップ性が認知された2008年頃のことで、その年に行われた"Epic Live"により不動の人気とプロデュース・スタイルを確立した。
"Break from this world"、『この世界を抜け出して』人が物語に求める力、それは映画と空想の視覚的イメージの相互干渉により、より多様で壮大なディテールを纏う時代になった。だけれど、その普遍的な力学は今も変わらず、人が人に感動を伝え、体験を共有すること。その上で音楽は、視覚イメージの複雑化に伴い、表現物のどういった側面を強調し、またエンハンスすることが可能なのか。
"Black Parade"
(lyrics and music by Yoav Goren, Geraint Luff, Ali K)
Now have we seen this light for the last time
They're turning back the clock and we won't survive
On just hope this time
They slowly break us down from the inside
And force a way of life we don't recognise
And free will has died
We take our breath for the last time
We'll give it one more cry before they burn a hole
In our hearts again
We saw it coming, this Black Parade when will it end
Oh you and I both know, this Black Parade on fear depends
We can fight it but we can't pretend
khaste nasho, parvaz kon (don't get tired, fly)
ey khaste mooned too ghafas (Hey, the tired one in the cage)
Parvaz kon ta ke manam ba to ham avaz ham nafas (Fly until I sing and breathe with you)
The turbans reign supreme over virtue
You cannot lift your veil or speak the truth
They promise nothing but keep that bar held high for you
We saw it coming, this Black Parade will forge ahead
Oh you and I both know, this Black Parade
The demon's edge
We will fight it with our dying breath
And now they've pumped the masses full of rage
We're going to light some fires
We're going to burn the stage
The lightning is coming, the marchers will fall
Fall
khaste nasho, khaste nasho, sokooteto faryad kon (Don't get tired, don't get tired, shout loud your silence)
ta mano dari, khodeto az in ghafas azad kon (Until you've got me, free yourself from this cage)
We saw it coming, this Black Parade will meet its end
Oh you and I both know, this Black Parade, it's good as dead
We will fight until the streets turn red
This Black Parade will meet its end
Oh you and I both know, this Black Parade, it's good as dead
We will fight until the streets turn red
faryad kon (shout)
parvaz kon (fly)
We will fight until the streets turn red
The growth of PLoS ONE may have been stellar but it still accounts for only tiny percentage of the total scientific output. It has changed the culture, but by how much? If cost, speed of publication and ease of access were really the primary concerns of working scientists, surely other publishers would have jumped into the market?
This is happening to an extent ? have a look at Nature Publishing Group’s latest title, Scientific Reports ? but these new open access journals still charge a hefty fee to authors for the privilege of publication. Shouldn’t the free market be driving down costs?

A Higgs Setback: Did Stephen Hawking Just Win the Most Outrageous Bet in Physics History?
These assessments carry a probability measure, such as 95%, 99%, or?as traditionally required in particle physics for a “definitive” conclusion about the existence of a new particle: 99.99997% (this is the infamous “five-sigma” requirement).
there is still a 5% chance that the Higgs is hiding somewhere within this energy range. And, more importantly, the lower energy range from 114 to just under 145 billion electron volts, a region of energy that Fermilab has determined, through earlier experiments, may harbor the Higgs, has not been ruled out. But the Higgs is quickly running out of places to hide.
□ The Higgs will be open access (CERN) | Jon Butterworth | Life & Physics gu.com/p/3xtmt/tw
CERN is very active in promoting open access publishing. Unfortunately one plank of this is archiving everything on the CERN Document Server, which is about the most unsearchable archive I have ever come across. But it doesn't matter, because the papers are all on arXiv too; and the principle is sound. I have been closely involved in about 30 papers from ATLAS over the past year, all published as open access.

The shrimp-shaped periodic structures appear to be malformed on some of Lyapunov exponent diagrams, and they present two different bifurcation scenarios to chaos when passing the boundaries of itself, namely via period-doubling and crisis. Hyperchaos-chaos transition can also be observed on the Lyapunov exponent diagrams for the second largest exponent.

ゲノム進化を統計物理的な数理モデルで記述することは可能か。定性進化か、あるいは普遍な創発性か。生物学的ネットワークのノード次数分布、進化速度の対数正規分布など (再掲）
The universals of genome evolution can be accounted for by simple mathematical models similar to those used in statistical physics, such as the birth-death-innovation model. These models do not explicitly incorporate selection; therefore, the observed universal regularities do not appear to be shaped by selection but rather are emergent properties of gene ensembles.
Although a complete physical theory of evolutionary biology is inconceivable, the universals of genome evolution might qualify as “laws of evolutionary genomics” in the same sense “law” is understood in modern physics.
□ Dark Matter Is an Illusion, New Antigravity Theory Says: 暗黒物質は『幻』？反重力の新理論から
Boiling sea of particles in space may create repulsive gravity.
The mysterious substance known as dark matter may actually be an illusion created by gravitational interactions between short-lived particles of matter and antimatter, a new study says.
In the new study, physicist Dragan Hajdukovic at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland proposes an alternative explanation, based on something he calls the "gravitational polarization of the quantum vacuum."
When matter and antimatter collide, they annihilate in a flash of energy. The virtual particles spontaneously created in the quantum vacuum appear and then disappear so quickly that they can't be directly observed.
In his new mathematical model, Hajdukovic investigates what would happen if virtual matter and virtual antimatter were not only electrical opposites but also gravitational opposites?an idea some physicists previously proposed.

Many-sorted naming systems are suggested as a natural approach to general computatability with many data types over arbitrary structures. The first part of the paper is a historical reconstruction of the way Gödel probably derived his proof from Cantor's diagonalization, through the semantic version of Richard. The incompleteness proof?including the fixed point construction?result from a natural line of thought, thereby dispelling the appearance of a “magic trick”.

Here, we demonstrate the amplification of DNA (encapsulated guest) within a self-reproducible cationic giant vesicle (host). With the addition of a vesicular membrane precursor, we observe the growth and spontaneous division of the giant vesicles, accompanied by distribution of the DNA to the daughter giant vesicles.
For some highly endangered species there are too few reproductively capable animals to maintain adequate genetic diversity, and extraordinary measures are necessary to prevent extinction. We report generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from two endangered species: a primate, the drill, Mandrillus leucophaeus and the nearly extinct northern white rhinoceros, Ceratotherium simum cottoni. iPSCs may eventually facilitate reintroduction of genetic material into breeding populations.
