"The concept of terroir has its origins in French winemaking, as a means to describe the effect of geographic origin on taste. As a shorthand marker for both provenance and flavor, and as a sign of its burgeoning conceptual popularity, it has spread to encompass Kobe beef, San Marzano tomatoes, and even single-plantation chocolate. But can water have terroir? What about the influence of the earth on water?"
The hydrogeologist I sit next to in work got quiet excited by this link and started telling me about all of the different bottles there and where they're from. Apparently in taste tests most people prefer the most heavily filtered waters with the least mineral content. Which begs the question of how the "worlds most expensive bottled water", Bling h2o, is actually filtered.
I have some theories but I don't think they are hygienic. On that note...
miike Teknoist says: "the second FREE booster pack in the series comes from Michael J Rocks.. 2 animals regurgitating a 12 track feast in a mixed live set form for you to devour like some audio vomit scoffing deviant… this is across the board breakcore rave, from the pretty to the damn right institutionalised..
They made [their] mark on me while live so i thought it fitting that i released a live set…

The Bash Out Lectures with Dan Gusset and Friends
Dan Pope (aka Gusset) will be presenting an A/V performance of data bent versions of his urban exploring photos alongside a live drone/glitch soundtrack in room three of Bash Out at the Black Swan, Bristol on Sat 20th June (10pm – 6am).
Data bent images are intentionally corrupted digital images where the files have bits altered, cut around, have channels moved or filtered, and are otherwise bastardised to cause all forms of distortions and bizarre effects. Often the results are disappointing fields of black or images that refuse to open at all but persistence and luck can lead to intriguing results.
Like it's close relative circuit bending, where any electronic sound making device, usually a cheap children's toy, is dismantled and its circuitry randomly rewired, it's something that anyone can try. It may just be noise with occasional recognisable hints of what it once was, but there is a beauty to be found in there either by close study or by allowing it to wash over you.
Among the friends Dan has filled the rest of the line-up with will be a Dub Boy & Beavis - Inna Rootstyle, films from public space hijacker and Occasional Cinema organiser Badoni, and beatless soundscapes from Freq.
Mrs P and I both took part in the Second Look Photo Marathon two weeks ago. 110 disposable cameras spent a Saturday out hunting for a shots of: 1 Your Entry Number 2 Steps 3 Circles 4 Reflection 5 Sign Of The Times 7 Layers 8 Closed 9 Rainbow 10 X Marks The Spot 11-20 Bristol Today
These are our circles shots, Amanda's top, mine bottom.
There's a review of the event over on Suit Yourself. I'll just say that its great fun and great exercise! There's another event planned for the autumn.
