A car has been "completely destroyed" after it was set alight outside a family home, in what police are treating as a race-motivated arson attack.

This MRI video of Charlie Wiltshire talking is really impressive! (It is overdubbed, because MRI scanners are noisy.) youtube.com/watch?v=Wrbe5fH8…
We rarely hear one sound at a time, but we can often separate out the sounds we want to hear (and sometimes can't). Join us at SARC (Belfast) on Sat. 24th Feb. to make sense of the patterns. nisciencefestival.com/events… @QUBMusicteam @UlsterOrchestra @RNID @ukacoustic @NIOpera
Can you think of singable songs with a nature theme? Tenuous links are welcomed. (We may have organised nature-themed karaoke in a hi-spec 48-loudspeaker set-up without stopping to think how many decent nature-themed karaoke numbers there are...) nisciencefestival.com/events…
My Dad singing "O Holy Night" 50 years ago: soundcloud.com/trevor-agus/o… (and my Mum is in the choir!)
Ooh, I like the sound of the Sound of the Year awards: soundoftheyearawards.com/
I find this weirdly mesmerising—it seems to be all the non-verbal sounds Steven Pinker made in a speech. youtube.com/watch?v=tBo4yaOa…
Here's a ghostly sound for Hallowe'en. It sounds like it goes up, but (if you can bear to re-listen) it ends up lower than it started. I'm calling it an Escher tone—a variant on the classic Shepard tone. (The topic of this morning's class was pitch perception!) @QUBMusicteam
It seems that we're not talking about waveforms as much as we used to. I wonder is it because we can now manipulate sounds in a computer without getting bogged down in low-level details. We see waveforms, but don't need to talk about them as much.
Congratulations to Krista, the EA Music Service and @UlsterOrchestra for being the Best Music Learning initiative with their minibassoons and other endangered orchestral instruments! @QUBMusicteam classicfm.com/events/music-t…
Here's a fun music memory game: app.amsterdammusiclab.nl/tun… 220 to beat... Note that for half of the boards, you have to match original snippets with their distorted versions.
I just heard a transport expert refer to a non-electric bike as an "acoustic bike". I think I like it...
