Conway's Life With Epic Music

Image
See the Wikipedia page for John Horton Conway  which doesn't mention him being at LANL. Maybe Jade was thinking about John Von Neumann. Here's an interview with Conway: Conway left Cambridge in 1986: The lyrics to that song were written by Polly Samson and David Gilmour.

Polly Samson's Theatre for Dreamers

Image
Another clip David Gilmour and Polly Samson filmed in Hydra last year. This is the house of Axel Jensen and Marianne Ihlen. And now that I know a little of what  A Theatre for Dreamers  is about I really would love to read it! Marianne Ihlen died suddenly in 2016, a few months before Leonard Cohen. I really enjoyed watching these when I was self-isolating on the street in Cochabamba last year. I felt like I was part of something and that I was loved. I suppose that would be delusional thinking for any normal person, ... but, ... well, ... Yet Another Movie See  Terminal Frost So, Simon Thornton, whatever you do, ... See  My Problems .

Polly Samson Talking About How Leonard Cohen Came to Hydra

Image
See  Hydra Tribute to Leonard Cohen . Now when I was starving to death on Capurganá, I thought maybe these people in Britain who, according to my daughter, love me dearly, might just decide to make something good happen, and send me enough to be able to eat properly and rent some decent accommodation for a few months, during which time I would have been able to make some real friends in Colombia,... but someone else evidently had a better idea, ... see  Crossing The Darién Gap . So that's how I ended up with pneumonia in a hospital in Panamá, ... ... and how I am now back on the street in Costa Rica with less than ten dollars in my pocket and no hope of getting out of here, ... thanks people! David Lynch: "Chicks dig melancholy but you don't have to suffer, ..." See  David Lynch's Weather Report . And I asked my daughter to contact Polly Samson and some other friends of mine in Britain, and try to raise enough money (a few hundred dollars) for me to be able to ea...

They are sponsoring Numberphile , Computerphile , and now also Steve Mould and Matt Parker (see Matt Parker and Steve Mould Doing Geodesy at Greenwich and Hannah Fry on Disinformation for The Public Good for the relevance): Here's Steve talking about Group Action , I thought, but maybe that has nothing to do with it? Who knows? I thought maybe Nathan Dalaklis , who has been studying Conformal Graph Directed Markov Systems which are structures which attach probability distributions to the edge incidence matrix of labelled directed graphs and thereby allow one to study the back-propagation of influence through an iterated function system, I haven't read that paper yet, see Terence Tao on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence for my excuse.

Special Twin Beaks Edition of the Von Trapped Family Livestream

Well, I started wondering how David Lynch was coming up with this fairly esoteric Rock'n Roll history (see  David Lynch's Weather Report ) and I thought it must be from Nick Cave and/or David Gilmour's infuence, ... so I went to check what Polly Samson and Family had been up to lately, ... and lo!  They're livestreaming from the Red Room: And there's something about Charlie Gilmour's "Featherhood" story that reminds me of this, ...
