Good singing may be like playing a video game...

 At your risk.


Each note begins and is then corrected by raising pitch until it sounds right.




Cybernetics in Making Love

 At your risk.


So many feedback loops are involved.


For example one does something and gets encouraged...





Using (broken cable) Sennheiser CX 300-II in ear headphones as earplugs

At your risk.


I have been using them for about 10 years for sound reduction while inside metro, bus etc.


The broken cable had been removed so they look really nice with the 1cm silicone cable support protruding. Now this support had been worn out so they may irritate the skin.


The main advantages of using them are:


great comfort, very comfortable


very quick to wear  or remove


nice protective pouch


aesthetics


comfortable reduction of noise while one can still hear and speak
