Wow, our last post was in August…SLACKERS! Well anyway, I (Robin) moved into a new house, so we needed to get our new band room in order. Conveniently, Home Depot is right across the street and my brother has a pick up truck. So what do you do when you need a wall in a rental home? Build one. That was in the lease I signed … right?

Jee Willikers I am excited! Aaron and I had our first “audition” a couple nights ago and it went really well. It shouldn’t be long now before we find out who the new TVS bassist will be.

“The volume of the note is determined by the distance to the supernova, with more distant supernova being quieter and fainter.
“The pitch of the note was determined by the supernova’s ‘stretch,’ a property of how the supernova brightens and fades. Higher stretch values played higher notes. The pitches were drawn from a Phrygian dominant scale. “The instrument the note was played on was determined by the properties of the galaxy which hosted each supernova. Supernovae hosted by massive galaxies are played with a stand-up bass, while supernovae hosted by less massive galaxies are played with a grand piano.”
