I just wanted to post that I’ve now gotten a page at The Mod Archive, modarchive.com. Check it out: here!

One day I’ll upload my music to YouTube as well.

Good luck getting this tune out of your head for the rest of the day.

Jag är inte mycket för denna typ av musik, men Whammer Jammer är ett undantag!

And my artist page: Daniel Innala Ahlmark

Då är man tillbaka igen efter något slags semester, bestående av konstigt väder, ständigt resande och tentaläsning.
Äntligen har jag fått motivation till att börja koka ihop ett seriöst album (musik alltså).
Jag har en bra grund med gamla låtar som ska med, och slutresultatet kommer troligen bli en ganska varierande blandning. Eftersom jag förutom piano spelar både blockflöjt och munspel har jag tänkt få med några duetter (med migsjälv). Det blir allt från Jim Brickman-aktigt pianospel till munspelsboogie till något större orkestrerat verk, och en eller tre valser i Chopin-stil.
Vad gäller munspelande har jag följt Adam Gussow på YouTube — bättre lektioner finns inte! Sök på “Gussow” eller “KudzuRunner” på YouTube!
Nu åter till algoritmernas och vektoranalysens värld…

Här finns en trevlig algoritmlåt. Bra att lyssna på när man sitter och pluggar till datalogitentor!

Just brilliant!

Telemans blockflöjtsvit i A-moll:

Bachs Badinerie i extremt högt tempo:

Musik från Soul Blazer:

Menuett och badinerie:

Improvisation på Greensleeves och lite mer Teleman:

“Sopranino recorder solo from The Bird Fancyer’s Delight published by Richard Meares in 1717″

Något modernare:

Duett?:

Av Toots Thielemans själv!

It has often occured to me how illogical some children’s songs and stories are (other things too for that matter).
The heroine in the book The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett has noticed just that. She says something like: “The stories don’t want you to think, just believe.”
But who said anything about logic then…?

Today I’d like to share a Swedish children’s song with you where such an illogical statement appears. The title would literally translate to the squirrel sat in the spruce (Sw: ekorr’n satt i granen).
The lyrics would look somewhat like this:
1 The squirrel sat in the spruce
2 about to peal cones.
3 then he heard the children
4 and got in a big hurry
5 jumped he from the pine's branch
6 he hit his little leg
7 and the long, hairy tail

Now this song can be clearly broken down into phases as follows.
Phase 1 (setting): lines 1 and 2, explains the setting.
Phase 2 (surprise): lines 3 and 4.
Phase 3 (action): line 5.
Phase 4 (consequence): lines 6 and 7, where the consequence of line 5 is explained.
Now, from phase 1 we know that the squirrel is sitting in a spruce, and from phase 2 we know that it is a male squirrel. In phase 3 something very interesting happens: our squirrel jumps from a pine, while sitting in a spruce!
Some sing the song as “jumped he to the pine’s branch”, but from what I know the version I presented is the original, written by Alice Tegnér.
Is this a supernatural squirrel who teleported to a pine after pealing the cones? Or is phase 3 taking place at a future time (very unlikely)? No.
I would rather say that when this song was written, a spruce and a pine tree were the same thing!
[Sarcasm off]

So tomorrow I got an exam in discrete mathematics, good luck to me!
Remember that, there is just one word, that is the key to success in mathematics: PLAGIARIZE!!!
And after that exam, I start a course that will contain, among other things, a lot of programming. So one might get Debugging Angst. The trick here is to take it easy, and break down the problem. Modular Decomposition
Thanks to Eric Siegel! I have always liked the idea of songs about science and such.

Long time no post, but here it is; my nocturne in C major:

Enjoy!

Här är en tvåstämmig invention jag skrev för ett par månader sedan. Bildkvaliteten är dålig för jag har ingen “skrivare” till bildformat (bara PDF), så jag “fotade” av en förhandsgrandskning i NoteWorthy.
