Heading off to see the Swans again today

What can I say? Tuesday's Swans gig really was simply brilliant. Witnessing again a band at the peak of their powers. It was actually my birthday and I have to say one of the best so far. BIG thanks to Norman for the tickets, beer and CD and it was nice to catch up with him and Kristof again as well as to meet the other guys. Today's gig will be the shorter festival set along the lines of this:

Fibonacci Zoetrope Sculptures


These are 3-D printed sculptures designed to animate when spun under a strobe light. The placement of the appendages is determined by the same method nature uses in pinecones and sunflowers. The rotation speed is synchronized to the strobe so that one flash occurs every time the sculpture turns 137.5º—the golden angle. If you count the number of spirals on any of these sculptures you will find that they are always Fibonacci numbers.
For this video, rather than using a strobe, the camera was set to a very short shutter speed (1/4000 sec) in order to freeze the spinning sculpture.
