  1. Cantai (US) want good choral singers for 2 hr recording session with royalties.
    " singers with a straight-tone technique — minimal-to-no vibrato, clean blending, the kind of voice you'd hear in a chamber choir or an early music ensemble. Not operatic, not pop. All voice parts welcome, soprano through bass.

    If that's you, or someone you know, head to cantai.app and tap the green chat bubble in the bottom-right corner to start a conversation. "

  2. By the way, and for the avoidance of doubt/suspicion: none of the "audio etymology" sequences that I've created and am posting here involve any use of AI, LLM's, neural nets, none of that. All are made from original audio recordings of real people speaking words in their various languages, which are then subjected to good old-fashioned signal processing (speech coding and synthesis). The continua of change are made using straightforward linear interpolation over the space of cepstrograms, which are 2 dimensional matrices encoding the acoustics of the original recordings. Using scripts that I wrote, by hand.

  3. He also hinted at a new class of synthetic antibiotics that is in current development at Roche. Hopefully there are many more new antibiotics in the future. (7/7)

  4. Excited to share our paper in Journal of Medicinal #Chemistry exploring carbobicyclic nucleoside analogues as potential #antivirals!

    We swapped the ribose oxygen for a carbon in nucleoside analogues and explored this novel scaffold.

    From our library, several compounds showed activity against #HCV, #HSV, #influenza, and #RSV. One uracil-based analogue stood out by inhibiting multiple viruses like #flu and HCV. Modeling suggests it “locks” the viral active site instead of being incorporated into RNA.

    What really surprised us: nucleobases with known antiviral effects (like NHC from molnupiravir) didn’t work in our scaffold—but unmodified uracil did. The scaffold itself changes how these molecules behave.

    Encouragingly, these compounds phosphorylate efficiently in cells without needing prodrugs, don't inhibit human polymerases, and our #synthesis is efficient: 28 pyrimidine and 35 purine analogues from just two intermediates in under 10 steps.

    Huge thanks to all collaborators and colleagues who made this work possible!

  5. As an organic chemist, should you specialize in synthesis method development or total synthesis?

    In his inspiring talk at #Lunteren2026, Alois Fürstner from the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung shows how his group is excelling at both and makes the point that there is important cross-fertilization between the two research directions in his group.

  6. Interesting talk by Géraldine Masson at #Lunteren2026. She gave a presentation with the title "Chiral Brønsted Acid–Driven Enantio- and Regioselective Transformations of Polyunsaturated Systems toward Complex Molecular Architectures".

  7. Interesting talk by Antonio Echavarren at #Lunteren2026. He talked about the use of gold-carbene catalysis to perform complex and enantioselective transformations in organic synthesis.

  16. "#TheWeb: Everything Is Shifting at Once

    What makes this moment disorienting to some, but also exciting, is that multiple systems are changing simultaneously. It’s not just consumption models or discovery mechanisms or economics of the internet. It’s all of them, at the same time, and they’re interconnected.

    The #consumption model used to be straightforward. A user goes to a surface, consumes content directly, and synthesizes the information themselves.

    Now an AI intermediary does the #synthesis across dozens of surfaces and delivers the answer directly. The user can get what they need (achieve that conversion) without directly visiting the source anymore."

  17. Further context with PHOTOSENSITIVITY WARNING: A fresh snippet with this incinerator, from my track "Freakbox Raver” from my fresh EP Hypnopomp. Both Freakbox and this chimney guy have been mascots of my new EP with freaky contributing to sounds, chimneyiyiy supporting visuals 🙃 When you walk to this club that they’ll sadly knock down to build some expensive development, you see this chimney from different angles. It looks eerie but also funny. Full track here hazalelif.bandcamp.com/album/e

  20. We explored the question, from which different areas of chemistry, including glycochemistry, peptide chemistry, materials chemistry and synthetic method development new electrophiles for covalent inhibitors can originate in order to keep expanding the druggable space. (2/2)

  23. 💠 Can a crystal have different magnetic properties in alternating domains?

    👉 Check out in our latest work, how close we can get to such scenario. A "topotactic jump" into a miscibility gap allows #synthesis of metastable crystalline spinel nanoflakes with alternating ferri- and antiferromagnetic domains.

  25. Silverberg's invention of "Helix Parlours" was more far-fetched than @GreatDismal William Gibson's branded "Under the Knife" plastic surgery shops. Then.

    "In synthetic endometrium" might be a better description, albeit less exciting. Or is it more exciting. Are we heading for Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, with growth of cloned embryos in jars, and decanting?

    And various interstellar epic dashes.

Jimmy ThePeach✞

    het experiment Crushed #Stratocaster met het gitaarspel van Jimmy ThePeach✞ is een poging om van een herkenbaar geluid een totaal niet meer te herleiden nieuw geluid te maken met behulp van technieken zoals #Granular #Synthesis – het leek me maar het beste om dit experiment naar een fijngestampte gitaar te noemen - luister op ferrie.audio/b/1A3
