SPEED UP / SLOW DOWN

This is a thought I recently had and since you're interested in sound, sound recording and in some way also in timelapse, here it is, my mental trip:

Slowind down or Speeding up (this) reality, you'll get some incredible results

                                  astonishing examples

1. If you slow down the sound of crickets singing, you get an incredible female choir

2. Marcus Coates recorded some birds singing. He listened to it slowed down and wrote down what he heard.Then made some people singing it and finally speeded it up again.
Here's what he got

The same thing works in video as well: time lapse is a speeding up and allows to notice details that are beyond the "normal" (for us, at least) flow of time. And vice versa.
Watching a timelapse is like seeing the Nature breathing. (I watched once a time lapse of a river in a forest. Its flood movements during the seaons really looked like a breath)
Slowing down and speeding up (the sound, but also the video), you discover different realities, you see and hear things that otherwise you would not notice.
Distort the perception of reality (that's why many people are trying and tend to it in several different - not always morally shared-  ways).

It's an amazing field to experiment and experience

hope it will inspire and/or enchant you, like it did to me!

UN VERO LEADER

qui raccolgo in modo schematico informazioni che ho trovato, letto e vissuto su cosa è un leader, come essere un leader, perché essere un leader.


Un leader è...

si potrebbe dire che essere un leader è un'attitudine, che converebbe a tutti adottare, in ogni campo, della vita lavorativa e privata. Una filosofia di vita, direi.

- tutti possono essere un leader
- il leader non è un dittatore. Anzi, è gentile, è benvoluto
 di conseguenza crea un'atmosfera piacevole, se non addirittura divertente!
- è informale, non fa il classico capo dietro alla scrivania
- un leader è modesto, si mette in discussione e ammette le sue debolezze
- un leader sa fare sentire ogni componte del gruppo utile e benvenuto
per fare questo sa delegare responsabilità
- un leader sa tirare fuori il meglio da tutti
- un vero leader non teme la competitività e fa sbocciare altri leaders
