...music
does more than shape our social or cultural selves. Of all the arts, music comes the closest to mimicking the form and structure of consciousness itself. Though music can be measured or objectified as soundwaves or waxy internal linkgrooves or notes on a page, it arises within an essentially invisible world "inside" our field of awareness. Similarly, though we find ourselves embodied in a world of bodies, that inner world, which is the "place" where we hear, also unfolds as an invisible internal linkflux, a virtual tapestry of pattern and vibration, thinking and feeling, internal linkmemory and desire.

to the new hardware is complete! As a result the video streams are now
online again. Look out for new additions to the video streams soon,
followed by an overhaul of the streamingserver back and frontends. Happy New Year and may Marduk shine his light upon you from within.
*12/10/06 ;Just Checking In: Hello out
there, and sorry for the lack of newz updates. We have been very busy
with RL (real life) issues, or just plain poking smot 8) ... Anyhow the
new server is in place and undergoing final adjustments, after which a
massive backlog of additions to the Sacred Sounds Repository will be
addressed.
On friday 12/8 one of us (PsyPhii) had a special treat : Cari Lekebusch
@ Smartbar. Cari L. happens to be PsyPhii's favorite all time techno
producer/dj and was gracious enough to send Psy away with aching
muscles and an autograph. Here is a gallery with pics of Cari and stuff from the show.
*9/8/06 ;Antivirus Migration: Some of you
may have noticed that the AV core engine has not updated in over 4
months. A major version migration is underway that may require users to
manually upgrade. We will know for sure at the beginning of the week if
this is necessary, at which time instructions will be posted.
*7/26/06 ;A Solemn moment: In observance
of the passing of a gifted individual who was once very close to the
team. On the 25th Keith Aldridge took his own life while in custody of
the Cook County Sheriff. He was one of the people who among other things witnessed the birth of this site firsthand as my roomate and friend.
"if
you're frightened of dying and you're holding on, you'll see devils
tearing your life away...; if you've made your peace, then the devils
are really angels freeing you from the earth..." - Danny Aiello as the
chiropractor in the film Jacob's Ladder
*7/22/06 ;INTERFACE FIXES: A
misconfiguration was preventing some artists from appearing in the
list, however if a search was performed for a part of the artists name
then the correct result would be returned. This issue has been resolved.
We also have imported over 10GB of new audio for your pleasure. Special
thanks goes out to Rockstar,Robotop, and all of the other users who
have been contributing via the submission page.
*4/22/06 ;INTERFACE IMPROVEMENTS: Check it
out users! As requested functionality has been added that allows users
to easily download entire albums! When logged in to the Sacred Sounds
Repository you will now notice a disk icon to the right of each album.
Following this link will take all of the files in the album and create
a ZIP archive. You are then given a link to download this ZIP archive.
k00l eh?
To unpack the archive you will need a program like WinRAR.
This functionality is courtesy of The Rabbi, who is one of the
Repository's two founding fathers. Also for users who are part of the
MP3 Admin group you can now use the "ED" link to edit id3 tags that are
in error. If YOU think you want to help with this task contact root AT
dataromance.net via email. We will then contact you to discuss your
request! Enjoy!.
