On music : California dreaming in the North of the Netherlands.
This post will not cover anything on .net, if that's what you're looking for : stop reading. This post will be entirely on music, if you think that kind of stuff doesn't belong here : let me know. I do believe music is quite an important topic amongst developers, regularly many share some of their thoughts on the subject. Varying from the song they are listening to while blogging to a gallery of guitars. I cannot listen to music while programming but to me a piece of software (source code) does have things comparable to rhythm, melody and harmony. I know the software and the musical taste of some developers and do see a correlation between the style of the two.
This post is not on guitars but on the human voice, the best musical instrument ever. If you have, like me, a post PDC California dreaming and keep hearing the Mammas and Pappas this one is recommended. Ygdrassil are a singing duo from the North of the Netherlands with harmonies which, amongst many others, do remind of a California dreaming. Ygdrassil's music is quite fragile, hopelessly romantic and absolutely hypnotizing. On the web are (part of) two samples from their latest album. The first shows their talent as a more classical singer-songwriter, the second one is a piece of vocal acrobatics firmly rooted in folk music. In case you get hooked, the album is availalble online. And there is a new one coming next year.
Listen on,
Peter
