Bill Walker, Nashville Force as
Conductor and Arranger, Dies at 95

" 'You are there to make the artist sound good,
not to show how clever you can be,' Mr. Walker said
of his philosophy of recording in a 2015 interview at
the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville."

— Bill Friskics-Warren in The New York Times  yesterday

Bill, some artists sound good without much help.

For some material much more on the theory  side,

 "With the Tablet of Ahkmenrah and the Cube of Rubik,
my power will know no bounds!"
— Kahmunrah in a novelization of Night at the Museum:
Battle of the Smithsonian , Barron's Educational Series

Scholium —

Abstracting from narrative to structure, and from structure
to pure number, the Tablet of Ahkmenrah represents the
number 9 and the Cube of Rubik represents the number 27.

Returning from pure abstract numbers to concrete representations,
9 yields the structures in Log24 posts tagged Triangle.graphics,
and 27 yields a Galois  cube .

Continued from Saturday afternoon.

From a Jamestown (NY) Post-Journal  article yesterday on
"the sold-out 10,000 Maniacs 40th anniversary concert at
The Reg Lenna Center Saturday" —

" 'The theater has a special place in our hearts. It’s played
a big part in my life,' Gustafson said.

Before being known as The Reg Lenna Center for The Arts,
it was formerly known as The Palace Theater. He recalled
watching movies there as a child…."

This, and the band's name, suggest some memories perhaps
better suited to the cinematic philosophy behind "Plan 9 from
Outer Space."

 "With the Tablet of Ahkmenrah and the Cube of Rubik,
my power will know no bounds!"

The above 3×3 Tablet of Ahkmenrah  image comes from
a Log24 search for the finite (i.e., Galois) field GF(3) that 
was, in turn, suggested by last night's post "Making Space."

See as well a mysterious document from a website in Slovenia
that mentions a 3×3 array "relating to nine halls of a mythical
palace where rites were performed in the 1st century AD" —
