And speaking of CoWbElls, I did a concept EP back in 1999 using both electronic and real, processed, cowbells. No TR808 was harmed in the process but might have been used outside its comfort zone...

Oh the bike race came past us again today. We do love a bike race, even if they are zooming past us or not even the ProTour (top teams). This was the leading pack hunting about 30 riders in the breakaway 45sec up the road. And a bike race isn't a bike race without the broom wagon.

Ah, what a treat, didn't know a bike race would be zooming past me today. Here's a snap of the two leaders, about 20sec ahead of the bunch. At about 15km into today's stage of II Vuelta Ciclista a los Valles Cántabros a junior race.

#Deleuze and #Guattari in A Thousand Plateaus: "Childhood or bird refrain, folk song, drinking song, Viennese waltz, #cowbells: #music use anything and sweeps everything away." Christopher Walken character on Saturday Night Live: "More #cowbell."

The sound of Switzerland! #switzerland #cowbells #photography

... insgesamt haben die bei Duolingo einen skurrilen Humor. Im Norwegisch-Kurs stolpert man ständig über 80er-Jahre Songtitel.

Und der Verweis auf Kuhglocken ist auch eine echte Perle!

The singing technique called "kulning" is an ancient Swedish herding call, that was used by women long time ago to call home the #cattle (the #cows and the goats) back home to the farm in the evenings. It was also used as a form of communication, since the high pitch sounds can be heard through very far distances.

I sang for the cows one last time before they had to go back to the farm for the winter. I always feel a sorrow when they leave the village in the autumn. Since May, they have been here on the fields, bringing some life to our little quiet village with only 10 inhabitants in the middle of the northern woods.

The sounds of cowbells in the quiet evening is one of the best sounds I know. And I love the #feelings of seeing them running towards me as i sing. Especially when I see my favorite cow, Stjärna (star ⭐️). She is always the first one coming.

I already miss them so much.
