Saturday Morning Science:
Alka-Seltzer added to spherical water drop in microgravity onboard the International Space Station.

(March
22, 2003) — Expedition Six NASA ISS Science Officer Don Pettit
performs a series of microgravity experiments with water spheres and
effervescent antacid tablets. In the second of four videos, Pettit
inserts a tablet into a 50-millimeter sphere and observes the fizzy
results.

Upojenie (Exctasy)

The voice

Celestial, soft. It’s new and surprising to appreciate a voice for its qualities since you cannot understand what it is saying. It’s like another instrument.

In some cases tends to be mournfully, whining.

Track listing:

Cichy Zapada Zmrok (Here Comes the Silent Dusk)
Mania Mienia (So It May Secretly Begin)
Biel (Whiteness)

Przyplyw, Odplyw, Oddech Czasu… (Tell Her You Saw Me)

Celestial voice, piano as it was raining, slow but sustained percussions.

Are You Going with Me?

Less moody. More dance. Synthesized sax / trumpet?

Czarne Slowa (Black Words)

Synthesized flute is ruining the atmosphere.

(-) Lulajze Jezuniu (Polish Christmas Carol)

Ninna nanna. A bit sleepy.

Upojenie (Ecstasy)

Is the trumpet real? It seems so. I can tell the difference.

Zupelnie Inna Ja (Always and Forever)

Piosenka Dla Stasia (A Song for Stas)

Letter from Home

Me Jedyne Niebo (Another Life)

By On Byl Tu (Farmer’s Trust)

Polskie Drogi (Polish Paths)

Tam, Gdzie Niesiega Wzrok (Follow Me)

Na Calej Polaci Snieg (The Snow Falls All Over the Place)

Szepty I Lzy (Whispers and Tears)

Review

I like the first track, very ambient, creates a relaxing and dreamlike sound environment.

I don’t like synthesized sounds which sound synthetic. Even lesser when they are suppose to mimic a real instrument like the case of the trumpet.

The universe is full of weird substances like liquid metal and whatever preservative keeps Larry King alive. But mankind isn’t happy to accept the weirdness of nature when we can create our own abominations of science that, due to the miracle of technology, spit in nature’s face and call it retarded.

That’s why we came up with…

• Ferrofluids
• Aerogel
• Perfluorocarbons
• Elastic Conductors
• Non-Newtonian Fluids
• Transparent Alumina
• Carbon Nanotubes

A solstice is an astronomical event that happens twice each year, when the tilt of the Earth’s axis is most inclined toward or away from the Sun, causing the Sun’s apparent position in the sky to reach its northernmost or southernmost extreme. The name is derived from the Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still), because at the solstices, the Sun stands still in declination; that is, the apparent movement of the Sun’s path north or south comes to a stop before reversing direction.

The term solstice can also be used in a wider sense, as the date (day) when this occurs. The solstices, together with the equinoxes, are connected with the seasons. In some cultures they are considered to start or separate the seasons while in others they fall in the middle. The English expressions “midwinter” (winter solstice) and “midsummer” (summer solstice) may derive from a tradition according to which there were only two seasons: winter and summer.
