Plus-Minus brings to life Martin Parker’s  mirror-shift , a new work which corrals a host of AI music creation, development and performance tools together and drags them through the wringer of contemporary experimental music. The piece explores the sonic identities that form when we shift the AI mirror from reflecting us head-on, to glancing side-long across our rapidly developing landscape of human-computer entanglements. Then two works that each do arranging in a different way. Like the many chamber versions of orchestral works made for Schoenberg’s Society for Private Musical Performances in Vienna from 1918, we include Mark Knoop’s intimate arrangement of Laurence Crane’s orchestral piece  Cobbled Section After Cobbled Section . The show concludes with the premiere of American composer Aaron Wyanski’s arrangement of Arnold Schoenberg’s  Variations for Orchestra , the latest instalment in his Schoenberg in Hi-Fi series.  Schoenberg in Hi-Fi is an ongoing series of albums that posit an alternate reality. In my speculative universe, Schoenberg lives a little longer — into the late 1950s: a time when a new commodity was reshaping the music industry, the stereo LP. As high-fidelity audio entered the homes of more and more middle-class Americans, record companies began producing and marketing albums around how unique the sounds on it were, whether that was in the exotica of Lex Baxter, the space music of Sun Ra, or the extreme eclecticism of Esquivel. Though mostly aimed at a wide popular audience, countless liner notes spun infinite variations of the same boast: you’ve never heard this before. Schoenberg had been living in Los Angeles for many years, and had he been alive when the Capitol Records building was completed in 1956, he would have been a stone’s throw away from one of the centres of mid-century pop music. What if an executive from Capitol had become taken with the idea of presenting Schoenberg’s works in the manner of the many “jazzing up the classics” albums produced in this period?  — Aaron Wyanski About Plus-Minus Ensemble is a UK based ensemble committed to commissioning new work and placing it alongside recent and landmark modern repertoire. Formed in 2003, Plus-Minus is distinguished by its interest in performative, electroacoustic and conceptual pieces, and experimental open works such as Stockhausen’s 1963 classic, from which the group takes its name. Plus-Minus is directed by Matthew Shlomowitz, Vicky Wright and Mark Knoop.

Palace of Holyroodhouse

leotiger

Holyrood Palace is worth a visit. If time permits, you must go to see Queen Mary&#39;s palace in Scotland. It is still the place where the royal family holds garden parties in summer. You can see Arthur&#39;s Seat from a distance. The order of visiting the palace is very reasonable. With the introduction in the headset, you can immerse yourself in the heavy atmosphere of history! !

The Scotch Whisky Experience

I have been here more than ten years ago, and this time I come again is not the same as before. There are a lot of high-tech things, but a lot less original and the most original. If you have time, you can experience it. There are interpreters in various languages, real-time, and translation with the rhythm of the on-site tour guide, which is very convenient. You can also choose a whiskey.

Calton Hill

Mountain climbing

Night view

💎月亮宝石环游世界🌎

It is the most romantic sunset place. I have been here, it was cold but beautiful! I will not go into details about the many celebrity check-in places.
But my only deepest experience was the lyrics,
&quot;The castle keeps secrets for love, and I keep memories for you&quot;
I didn&#39;t think this song was romantic before, until I climbed to the top of Carlton Mountain⛰️It was really speechless and beautiful!!
I really like this light blue gentle dusk~~Thanks to the little afterglow near sunset that day, I saw the light blue and light orange sky line in the distance, which was really extremely romantic~~Continuously touched me✨💕🌹Recommend this extremely romantic place, must go?
【Scenery】
Medieval dusk🌆, the only one in the world❤️
