@gerrymcgovern@mastodon.green I am completely in agreement about many of the problems with data centres. However, in my understanding there is a lot of conflicting data about the role of non ionizing radiation in cancer etc. The references I have seen say it's not clear, do you have studies that show the link?

My latest track - Modern World - has been reviewed here: https://electre.selecteh.org/ and is now also on Electre Selecteh the new Indie Beat channel: https://theindiebeat.fm/electre-selecteh/ I have to say there are some really great tracks on the channel and thoroughly recommend it. I have already discovered some new (to me) artists. Thanks to @icaria36@sonomu.club @electronicmusic@fedigroups.social @ExperimentalMusic@fedigroups.social #electronicmusic #experimentalmusic

Hi All - I wanted to let you know that I am livestreaming my new album - In the Blink of an Eye - next Wednesday https://cal.gravitons.org/event/3rd-w3dn35day-online-gig-samantha-j-smith-in-the-blink-of-an-eye This will be the first livestream I have done so obviously a little nervous, especially seeing it is a 40 minute album being played live. I do hope you can attend but if not the album will be available soon afterwards. Do also take a look at the gravitons.org website - they have lots of live gigs for you to listen to. Hugs, Sammi #fediwave #electronicmusic #experimentalmusic #ambientmusic @electronicmusic@fedigroups.social @ExperimentalMusic@fedigroups.social

3rd W3dn35day Online Gig - Samantha J Smith - In the blink of an eye

“In the blink of an eye” - a travelogue in space and time, visiting worlds that exist, will exist and used to exist. Meeting beings of many different types who have both good and bad intentions. What you hear has never been heard before and will not be heard again except through the recording. A booklet with more information about the stream is available here: https://www.canva.com/design/DAHKNKk0mcg/nkaLJ8h2smP1UcgFN4LJZQ/view#1 [https://www.canva.com/design/DAHKNKk0mcg/nkaLJ8h2smP1UcgFN4LJZQ

Following the increase in vote for the Vänster party here in Sweden last week it looks like there is a big increase for Die Linke in the Berlin election. However, back in Sweden the Centre party look more and more like they will release a far right government rather that the centre left coalition because "they will get more". Usual self cantered egotism from centerists.

@alexadeswift@lgbtqia.space @ChrisMayLA6@mastodon.me.uk The problem with the British is they not only want to have the advantages of the club but also have special deals as well. In other words they want all the scouts advantages but also to be paid for joining.

I just want to express my thanks again to everyone who helped with last night live stream of my "In the Blink of an Eye" album - in particular to @thisoccasionalsociety@ravenation.club and @meljoann@topspicy.social without whom it would have been a mess. A recording of the show will be on TIBtv as soon as I can get the video over to them. The album will be available shortly and also I will produce a Vinyl and Cassette version over the summer - if you want one let me know and I will make sure it is available. Finally - a number of people had questions after the show and I only had a chance to answer quickly so I am happy to answer any questions you have in more detail here or via DM. Hugs, Sammi xx

In case you are unaware in September schools in England will have to force trans kids into spaces based on their birth sex and, if they feel uncomfortable, segregated into other spaces. Parents must generally be informed and the kid will have little say in what happens to them. Schools will not be able to teach anything about questioning your gender Bigoted teachers will have the right to not support trans kids and essentially the right to be transphobic This is institutionalized transphobia. This is apparently to "keep children safe". Section 28 for trans kids So where are all the cis people up in arms about this...... why are you not telling your Labour MPs to stop being so damned transphobic.... Honestly sometimes I just wanna scream at everyone to effing do something..... lack of action will KILL children.

Statistics like these show how bigoted a country can be. 1 in 5 lgbt people will be homeless at some point in their life while the number rises to 1 in 4 for trans people. Tell me again how we are all treated equally? Homelessness in any society is a scandal let alone in a rich one. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/trans-homelessness-lgbtq-pride-month-uk-b2997465.html

Just saw an article from Novara media about the increasing role of universities in the defence (war?) industries. Mentioned as one of the worse was where I studied UCL. UCL was founded on tolerance and had a proud history of inclusivity. It was a place to speak out and be radical against the injustices of the world. As students we proudly took on the establishment whether it was in the streets or in the university itself. Now sadly we see through this (and other recent actions like the promoting of transphobia) that the University is lost to corporate capitalisms. Students deserve better. http://youtube.com/post/UgkxOtYV71VCp5uGuFBFLAdO85ivr7wMfXcH

Just seen an advert for a completely analog album only available on RTR. It's called Tape Heads and it sadly retails for 400euro. That isn't the worst of it though, part of it was recorded using an Analog Audio Design tape decks. It's seriously beautiful and a brand new design. Sadly it is a little out of my price range at 26000 euro.... Ah well it has inspired me to make a completely analog recording....

I wrote yesterday about the problem I was having with a company not accepting an email mask. Apparently they won't explain why, just a blanket no. So in case anyone else wants to avoid these issues then do not try using the music streaming service Tidal. It was the last streaming service I subscribed to as a user but will now be cancelling. #musicstreaming #Tidal
