Animated reaction/diffusion patterns by French visual effects artist Maxime Causeret, set to a track from the album Emergence by Max Cooper. To wit:

…simple chemical feedback mechanisms can yield complex flowing bands of colour — these forms of system were originally thought up by Alan Turing, and were part of the early seeds of the field of systems biology, which seeks to simulate life with computers, in order to better understand the systems producing the complexity we see in the living world.

Headphones, full screen and whatever you’re having yourself recommended for full immersion.

Naive Ted – Limerick weirdo beat don returns

What you may need to know…

01. Co-founder of the Community Skratch Games festival, and founder of the Unscene label/collective (see yesterday’s YMLT), Naive Ted is arguably one of the cornerstones of independent music in Ireland, in addition to his own ever-expanding body of increasingly experimental beat-tapes and production credits.

02. We’re reliably informed the follow-up to 2015 magnum opus The Inevitable Heel Turn is on the way.

03. Streaming above is a video released on the quiet over the post-Xmas/pre-New Year fug, for single Post-Factual (That Old Chestnut).

04. Appearing next at Quarter Block Party on North Main Street, Cork, from February 5th to 7th, where he’ll be performing all-new material which may or may not be new-LP-related. More info here.

Thoughts: More oddball beats and pieces with a reliably lo-fi feel, albeit a tad more ’90s-feeling in places. Looking forward to hearing where this might lead.

First day back at work all over and done with? Good. One can safely assume your boss is back off yer cases this morning, so. In which case…

It’s time once more to stop in with Limerick Peppa and her family, courtesy of Limerick voiceman Walshunit.

Wherein every Limerick Peppa video of 2016 is made into one “pure rapid” compilation.

Misadventure, thievery, storytelling and much (…very much) cursing ensue.

Yikes.

They are falling apart from within.

Further to your delusional struggle to save the unattractive Poolbeg chimney stacks [Pigeon House Rd, Ringsend, Dublin 4]. Nature is having her say. Here are some exclusive photos from a friend showing the state of the stacks on the inside and how they are falling apart from within. Ultimately they’re going to have to be demolished….

Who can save Poolbeg now?

Anyone?

Update:

Ah here.

The flutes?

Thanks Louis
