Church Organ

I was practising double stops when I realized it sounded much like a church organ, so I recorded it together with a church mass footage.

I may employ this technique later on for some sacred composition of sorts. In a similar fashion Liszt reproduced the church bells ringing on his Vexilla Regis Prodeunt.

There are a few mistakes on this performance but to my defense, I add that I did not use any additional pressure on the bow other than the usual for a single string (unlike the usual practise for double stops), because I wanted to produce the most pure tone from each string. I believe I achieved my goal at about 1 min from the start.

The Free World respects Russia.

This post was made before the Russian attack on Ukraine. War is not the solution to problems, and by this standard both the Russian and Western governments are at fault and the people who wish peace are bound not to take up arms against each other but to make their leadership accountable under that standard.

Engaging in war is a criminal act, as it is a criminal act to supply weaponry to a country so its civilians face a professional experienced army, thus sponsoring genocide.

The Western leadership is criminal as it is the Russian leadership, however while in the past years the Western leadership has been ramping up tensions with the East, the Russian leadership has been warning of consequences to no avail.

I hold the Western leadership accountable for sponsoring war because I am a western citizen.

The elicitation trap

A true analyst OWNS the elicitation process. The interaction here depicted is the ultimate example of the kind of traps an analyst gets into when not in charge of the process, and how to deal with potentially harmful stakeholders.

Mathematical thinking

The subject of building, formalizing and communicating knowledge is closely related to business analysis tasks. Therefore, this course by Prof. Keith Devlin from Stanford is a valuable resource to get to know and to improve in BA. And it is available for free to anyone, as knowledge should be!
