Voguing, and the ballroom scene that gave rise to the dance genre, were started in New York City in the 1980s by Black and Latinx queer folks seeking a place to be themselves. And now, the ballroom culture has taken roots in China, creating a a safe space for LGBT youths to express queerness and find each other.

Dekker returns on 16th October with ‘The Love’ his final single from his upcoming 12-song debut album Slow Reveal: Chapter One which follows on 20th November.

About ‘The Love’ Dekker writes, “I wrote this song around a simple 4-chord loop. Something in the pattern hypnotised me and I found myself cycling through these chords in a trance. In this song (and video), I’m disoriented and dreamlike in service to and in pursuit of love.”

LYRICS
I know enough about love
To break it
I’ve heard enough about love
How to make it
I wrote a song about us
Are we faking
I hope it’s not about us

I’d put myself on a tree
Like the lord
With my feet
Off the ground
And I’m bound
And the nails
How I’d bleed
I’d give it all for love
All of my breathe for love

I want a run-in with love
Take me
I want to know the whole love
I’m aching
I know it’s all about love
No mistaking
Let me and I’ll bring the love

I’d put myself on a tree
Like the lord
With my feet
Off the ground
And I’m bound
And the nails
How I bleed
Now take me down from this tree
Take me down
To my knees
Take me whole
I want to live in the love
I want to share in the love

IRRADIATION
Directed by Sava Zivkovic
https://ift.tt/3sud7fR

“Did you know that Jon Favreau “shot” the latest Lion King in VR? That the reason The Mandalorian is able to produce such epic landscapes on a TV production timetable is that it is filmed in front of a giant LED screen which adapts to the camera in realtime? Oh, you did. Disney is the biggest name in entertainment and never suffers from a lack of publicity, so it makes sense that you’ve encountered one of the many trend pieces that describe the emerging field of “Virtual Production” and how it is a “gamechanger” and “the future of filmmaking”.

You may know this, but it is one thing for these bleeding-edge tools to be in the hands of creators at multi-billion dollar studios, what you might not know is how close we are to their adoption by the rest of us.

Today’s short is truly a fascinating glimpse at the current state of play. From acclaimed VFX artist Sava Zivkovic, Irradiation is a 9min mood piece that crosses sci-fi horror with “Chernobyl”-inspired imagery, creating a heady CG animated short long on atmosphere and menace. Many of the usual hallmarks of a sci-fi proof-of-concept apply here: detailed, photo-realistic characters that might trick more than a few of you, terrific motion, cinematic direction, and detailed environmental worldbuilding are all featured. What is even more notable than the end product though is how it came together; both its workflow and the film’s status as a personal passion project.

Using a realtime game engine, a motion-capture facility, and off-the-shelf visual assets, Zivkovic creates a million-dollar-looking animation largely by himself. Irradiation is great, but it’s not terribly dissimilar from work we see all around us—in movies and TV, or advertising and gaming. However, as recently as a couple of years ago, you’d expect work of this quality to require at least a small studio and/or for it to take months of labor. Instead, Zikovic produced Irradiation in 4 weeks in a manner more akin to an indie guerrilla shoot…

In a little more than 10 years, Bitcoin has become a ubiquitous part of everyday life, and the community around Bitcoin (and other cryptocurrencies) has grown exponentially. People have gotten rich off Bitcoin, you’re told; put money in it, and you’ll get rich too. But it’s all a lie. Doug Henwood, author of Wall Street, explains.

In this audio recording (illustrated with dozens of images), Larry Niven gives a delightful talk on the effects of teleportation on a society. Five years before his “Flash Crowd” was published, this recording is a grand exposition of what goes on in this author’s mind as he works out the impact of new technology. “The limitations you assume for your teleportation are going to define your society.” Isaac Asimov (and a number of other audience members) challenge Larry with questions and suggestions. There’s even a chalkboard talk (which you can follow from the audio). The program provides a very entertaining and complete logical framework for thinking about the problems and advantages of different implementations of mechanical teleportation, with the eager participation of the engineers in the audience.

Thanks to Larry Niven for allowing us to put this online, and to the New England Science Fiction Society (NESFA) and Rick Kovalcik for providing the recording.

NOTE: There are some typos in the photo captions used in the video. My apologies to all for misspelling several names, and “Denvention”. Thanks to Andrew Porter for pointing out the typos. Rather than replace this MP4 with a new one, I am going to leave it right here so that you all don’t end up with duplicate notifications. My apologies. We will institute a 2nd layer of proofreading after this!

Acclaimed Singer, Songwriter, Producer, and Multi-Instrumentalist, JMSN returns with his latest single, ‘Love 2 U’.

Bearing his yearning falsetto, JMSN drops into a musical performance that bleeds of an intimate confessional. ‘Love 2 U’ is a deeply visceral (almost voyeuristic) sound for the world of R&B, Soul, & Pop Music to experience. You will be left waiting on bated breath until JMSN finally decides to take you over the edge.

‘Love 2 U’ is the second single off of JMSN’s upcoming album ‘Heals Me’.
