In a playful way, the most versatile themes are effortlessly juggled; via cliched fallacies and control-seeking dark forces, we have arrived at falsified progress, negative growth, puppet politics, shadow rulers and fictional history through a feedback loop of the mass psychosis of the mainstream and the War of the Word. Even blind spots, conspiracy-deniers, contrary ignorance and the crucial life gas CO2 do not go unnoticed.

In short our artificial lie society, which seems to have become almost synonymous with a self-made prison, is mercilessly analyzed. However, a light-hearted approach gives the whole collection a witty charge. Moreover, against this initial doomsday scenario, a hefty backlash is given in the form of helpful extraterrestrials, positive imagination, telepathy, sovereignty and the god-given manifestation power. Or would it have been better if Adam and Eve had remained childless, after all?

Video-report with conclusions in Dutch:	First spatiaization radioplay in Dutch:	Second radio-play I took offline:
Third radio-play with spatialization:	Re-edit of the 2nd episode (january '23):	1st and 2nd Automation patch in Pure Data:

I found a great book with eye-exercises. And it works! My eyesight is improving without the need of glasses.
I have also discovered herbs for menopause symptoms. With hops, red clover, japanese knotweet root, MSM powder
and spirulina, so no more flashes or sweating attacks. Looking forward to 2023!

In the first patch with the audiometers I have made a fully automated version, random numbers are switching random speakers at random moments on and off. Although you see 16 channels, there are actually 8. The extra 8 channels are virtual ones, these I use in the 2nd patch. I am splitting a stereo file in 2, adding to channel 2 a reverb varying from 0 to 90 and back, with random stops with different lengths in between. This makes the signal more spatial.

In the 2nd automation patch, the order and combination of speakers is determined, whereas the timing is constantly changing. I have made 12 presets, differing from 1 at a time, 2 at a time, 3 at a time, and 4 at a time. 10 presets are randomly timed, and 2 of them have an accelerator, varying from 1000 milliseconds to 100 milliseconds and back, with time-delays in between. This means that the route stays the same, but that the timing is constantly speeding up, or slowing down (between 100 ms and 1000 ms).

In the 2nd patch I am using the extra (virtual) 8 channels (I mentioned already) with a time-delay, this is actually the 2nd mono-signal, following the first mono-signal via the same route of speakers, with a time delay of 700 milliseconds, to prevent that all speakers are too many times in the same moment silent. So each speaker receives the 2 mono-signals directly after each other. This makes the presets a little bit more unexpected as well, because of fading out times, and delay times. This I have done on purpose, to make it more dynamically, not too predictable.

A random counter switches between the different presets, and disconnects the random timer when one of the accelerators are activated. By recording directly to the harddisc, an 8-channel soundfile is generated, with a smooth fade in and fade out of 2 seconds at the beginning and end of the file, and of course all the sound-fragments have fade ins and outs as well, albeit with different lengths. Of course the minimum and maximum timings (the range of the random generators) can always be adjusted.

In addition this patch can be played live as well (for instance with a midi-controller). It is so great to play around with this stuff and I am proud that I managed to program this on my own, without any help and that it works exactly as I wish, without errors or stack overflows, and in my own logic.
