Switched On is track 5 on my 2017 album, After All Is Said and Done. This track has been in limbo for awhile, so I decided to put it to work in a video! Thanks for listening!
Please welcome Bräinstörm, the new teaser track video for my upcoming album titled same. Thanks for listening!
Fall is still in the air where I live. Even though out mornings are getting darker and cooler, it's always a joy to get up early and get some shots!
Having had a super summer, it's wonderful to watch the landscape gracefully change its colors and listen to the cool fresh breeze rustling the carpet of leaves around us. Yellow, orange, red and gold are the vibrant palette of colors decorating our Canadian woods, mountains, urban streets and lake lands. Soon we'll be seeing the morning frost and bare trees, reminding us that old man winter is on his way!
I hope you enjoy these photos I took in this beautiful park surrounding a man made lake. Every spring, the Canadian geese and Mallard ducks migrate to these neighborhood parks to nest. Here, they enjoy our warm and dry summer until their departure beckons them to warmer climes with their young flocks in tow.
I cherish the annual four seasons we experience here. They're magical, good for the soul and mostly great photo ops for us outdoor photography enthusiasts. Nothing compares to the beauty of nature. Be kind to it!
If you missed my live segment of the weekly Sentieri Sonori radio show on September 30th, 2024 and the repeat on October 4th, 2024, you can listen to it here on YouTube. Sit back and enjoy the show! Thanks for listening!
I first introduced My Scanart Project back in 2020 and continued publishing through 2022. Last week, I refreshed this project with new and thought provoking images for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

"This post is warmly dedicated to all who admire and love pylons, insulators, corona rings, power plants and everything else that is the electrical transmission grid that sustains and supplies our daily lives with precious electricity."
Last week, I got up early to catch the beautiful sunny day and was out shooting pylons and electrical lines for this post. It was a cold, windy a.m., but the autumn sun made up for it. I got busy getting these shots with one of my recently refurbished vintage Pentax digital cameras and am happy to report its performance was stellar.
I live in the outskirts of my city and my hood is a few blocks away from a behemoth power station which provides electricity to the entire south east side. Before our subdivision was developed in in the early 2000s, it was vast farmland and acreages, thus the wooden power line poles and aged electrical lines still exist in some areas of the hood.
They haven't been replaced with newer ones but but I'm okay with that. It's a statement to these poles and transmission equipment that they were solidly made and have passed the test of time. Why fix it if it's not broke!
Did you know the Eiffel Tower was designed like a large pylon? If you are interested, have a peek at the fascinating 'Origins and Construction of the Eiffel Tower'.
More to come as the weather gets colder and the frost and snow do their chilly thing! Enjoy my photos and thanks for stopping by!
This evening at Sentieri Sonori:
Unorthodox
musical behaviors. The encounter between a stray dog and a rebellious boy. A
love that kills its lover. Reminiscences on a legacy of the late Middle Ages.
Review of learning curves.
From 10pm to
11 pm CET on Diuffusione Stereo Digital Radio @diffusione_stereo.
Live on
www.diffusione.net or on the Diffusione Stereo app.
Repeat this Friday at the same time.
On tonight's show, Sentieri Sonori will be airing Unanswered Prayers, Buoyancy and Do Be Disturbed, 3 tracks from Vava's latest album 'A Eureka Moment!'.
Sentieri Sonori's Narrative for the Show
'Vava Vol’s latest album ‘A Eureka Moment’, has truly been her personal eureka moment in all aspects of its production. Some days she would have an idea for a track which never materialized as expected, as her instruments hi-jacked the track and took control of their own voices. On other days, recording flowed like the Nile! Combining the Yamaha no input mixer through a Boss GT3 guitar processor, the Zoom 24 drum beats and a rare Theremin B2 was challenging with respect to instrument amplitudes. Nevertheless, she overcame this beautiful learning curve!
Over the summer, Vava redesigned her home
studio to welcome the Korg 2015 re-issue of the original ARP Odyssey synth and a
Boss VO-1 Vocoder effect pedal. This new
gear will add its own soul to her future sound while mixing in with other
instruments. A new album is presently underway to be released in October, with
each track having its own YouTube video.
Another fun piece of gear Vava has
acquired is a vintage Fostex multitrack cassette recorder, a new addition to
her no input mixer family. Good
news! Euphonious Music Vol. 3 is currently
in motion with recordings starting in December.
How does she do it? To maintain a balanced flow, Vava combines her daily outdoor activities with yoga, meditation and Reiki. These practices power her artistic creativity and provide a healthy body, mind and soul, as self-awareness and self-healing are key to her wellness. As she dips into the Universal infinite well of creativity, Vava’s audio/visual sensory stimulations are on high alert and ahead of the curve. The perfect high voltage energy for future projects!'
