Sie gilt als «Grande Dame der Klarinette»: Seit den frühen 1980er-Jahren prägt Sabine Meyer das internationale Konzertleben entscheidend mit, als Solistin wie als Kammermusikerin. Mit ihrem warmen Klang und ihrem grossen Gestaltungswillen hat sie dem Instrument weltweit zu mehr Sichtbarkeit verholfen und war für viele junge MusikerInnen ein grosses Vorbild. Im Dezember beendet sie nun ihre musikalische Karriere. Sabine Meyer hat viele Werke uraufgeführt, aber auch Mozarts Klarinettenkonzert auf der Bassettklarinette neu zum Leben erweckt, und sie hat gezeigt, welche Kraft und Vielseitigkeit in der Klarinette steckt. Gleichzeitig kennt sie den hohen Druck des Musikerinnenlebens: Disziplin, Erwartungshaltungen, die ständige Suche nach Perfektion. Umso wichtiger waren ihr Rückzugsorte abseits der Bühne – der Garten, die Pferde und vor allem ihre Familie. Diese Balance ermöglichte ihr, über so viele Jahre künstlerisch präsent zu bleiben und trotz enormem Erfolg nicht abzuheben. Sie ist ein Star ohne jegliche Allüren. Nun verabschiedet sie sich bewusst, «solange sie noch fit ist». Auf die Zeit danach freut sie sich sehr: keine anstrengenden Konzertreisen mehr, ohne Sorge im Garten arbeiten, schwimmen gehen und unbeschwert mit den Enkeln spielen. In «Musik für einen Gast» spricht Sabine Meyer über ihr Leben auf der Bühne, ihre Liebe zur Kammermusik, die Belastung von jährlich über hundert Konzerten – und darüber, wie befreiend es ist, sich künftig all dem widmen zu können, was neben der Klarinette immer zu kurz kam.

2025-07-28 - Your Body; God's Instrument : 1 Thessalonians 4: 1-12 [GXle4qQjBqY] by Salvador Flores III
When most of us hear " dulcimer," we think of Irish peasants in the Middle Ages. Or maybe that "damsel with a dulcimer" in the poem "Kubla Khan." The actual hammered dulcimer, however, is something else entirely. It's a unique blend of percussion and stringed instruments with ancient roots across the world. And it's capable of creating gorgeous music. Musician and composer Joshua Messick joins the table to discuss all things hammered dulcimer. He's composed ten albums of hammered dulcimer music, and played for the soundtracks of major movies and video games. He explains the hammered dulcimer's unique ability to tell a story through its music.

Marisa continues "Make Me An Instrument," a multi-week discussion on civil discourse and its importance.
Viviane Chassot gehört zu den renommiertesten Akkordeonistinnen überhaupt. Sie hat mitgeholfen, ihrem Instrument auch die klassische Musik zu erschliessen. Damit macht sie die klassische Musik auch jenen Menschen zugänglich, die sonst keinen Bezug zu ihr gehabt hätten. Geboren wird Viviane Chassot in Zürich. Sie wächst in Wollerau auf, wo das Akkordeon eine grosse Rolle spielt. Allerdings nicht im klassischen Bereich, sondern in Form eines Akkordeon-Orchesters, das es bis heute gibt. Viviane Chassot interessiert sich damals mehr fürs Ballett. Und zwar so sehr, dass es auch beruflich eine Option wird. Eine Ausbildung am Opernhaus Zürich wäre möglich. Da hört sie am Radio ein Stück von Johann Sebastian Bach. Gespielt auf einem Akkordeon. Das ändert alles. Vivianne Chassot ist Feuer und Flamme und entscheidet sich – weil in ihrer Familie nur ein Hobby erlaubt war – für das Akkordeon. Längst ist das Hobby Beruf. Viviane Chassot hat Werke von Haydn, Mozart und Rameau eingespielt und aufgeführt und so auch mit Grössen wie Simon Rattle oder Alfred Brendel zusammengearbeitet. Und sie verbindet Klassik, Jazz, neue Musik und Improvisation. Auch darin also eine Brückenbauerin. Von ihrer Pionierarbeit für das Instrument und ihrem differenzierten Zugang zum Klang, von ihrem Weg zum Erfolg und ihren Rückschlägen und Krisen, von ihrer Arbeit mit anderen Musikerinnen und Musikern und ihrer Liebe auch zur Rockmusik erzählt Viviane Chassot im Gespräch mit Gastgeber Michael Luisier.

OG GOAT to AI Google's version called Gemini,OG GOAT: Can I classify AI-generated singing as a digital instrument?GEMINI: Yes, you absolutely can classify AI-generated singing as a digital instrument or a type of virtual instrument, especially in the context of music production and performance.The classification is based on how the technology functions and how it is used musically. Why AI Singing is a Digital InstrumentA digital instrument (often a Virtual Instrument or VST/AU plugin in music software) is a device or piece of software that relies on computing power and electronic signals to generate musical sounds.AI singing synthesis fits this definition because: * It Generates Sound: The AI is a system that creates a musical output (the vocal track) that did not exist acoustically beforehand. * It's Controllable: Users provide input—typically MIDI data (notes, pitch, timing), and text (lyrics, or a text-based prompt for style/expression)—to the AI system to perform the singing. This is similar to how a producer uses a MIDI keyboard and a software synthesizer (a classic digital instrument) to generate a bassline or a piano part. * It Replaces an Acoustic Element: While a human voice is an acoustic instrument, the AI system acts as a digital stand-in, much like a software sampler is a digital replacement for a real drum kit or a grand piano. * It is a Synthesis Engine: The technology, often called Singing Voice Synthesis (SVS), uses complex algorithms (like neural networks or Generative Adversarial Networks—GANs) to synthesize or model the human voice's timbre, pitch, and dynamics from scratch, or by manipulating vocal samples. This is analogous to how a synthesizer generates sounds using oscillators, filters, and envelopes. Digital Instrument vs. Software ToolWhile the AI engine is technically software, its function within music creation is that of an instrument.| Feature | Digital Instrument (e.g., AI Singer, Software Synth) | General Software Tool (e.g., DAW, Equalizer) ||---|---|---|| Primary Function | Generates and creates the source musical sound/tone. | Records, modifies, processes, or arranges existing sounds. || Input | Notes (MIDI), pitch, lyrics, expression controls. | Audio files, automation data, mixing parameters. || Output | A musical performance (notes, words, timing). | A processed or mixed version of an existing performance. |The AI singing generator creates the raw, musical performance (the vocal track), which is the job of an instrument. Other programs, like your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), are then used to mix and process that vocal track, which is the job of a software tool.Would you like to know more about the different types of AI Singing Synthesis technology?Send us a textWe want to hear from you, Introduce yourself the way you would like it aired, where your calling from State and City is fine as well as which Season, Podcast title and episode.

It is also a platform and an opportunity of the year when we come before the Lord, prayerfully in fasting, to be fully renewed and reinvigorated supernaturally.We believe that our God is the God of the eleventh hour and He is able to accomplish His promises and prophecies in our lives before the year-end as we call upon Him.

In this episode of Pilot's Say What?, we sit down with Caitlin, who started flight training under Part 61, stalled out at 80 hours, and then transformed her entire training journey after switching to Part 141. She became Thrust Flight's very first Finish Line student — and went from stuck to fully rated (Private, Instrument, Commercial, CFI) in under a year.

A “time-saver” offered by ATC might not have been a good idea for the pilot and his wife en route to the Bahamas, putting them farther over water than they'd like and into weather they didn't expect. Instrument-rated private pilot Kevin Reick shares that story with host, Rob Reider, and another from his instrument instruction when the cockpit got as dark as the night sky they were flying in.

Matt continues "Make Me An Instrument," a multi-week discussion on civil discourse and its importance.
Die Küste des US-Bundesstaates Louisiana geht unter. Damit verschwindet ein natürlicher Schutz vor den verheerenden Hurricanes. Manche wollen den Mississippi entfesseln, damit er mit seinen Sedimenten das Meer zurückdrängt. Andere sehen dadurch ihre Lebensgrundlage bedroht. Für Louisiana steht viel auf dem Spiel, etwa eine natürliche Barriere, die auch die Stadt New Orleans vor den verheerenden Hurricanes schützen soll. Vor 20 Jahren fegte Hurricane Katrina über die Gegend und hinterliess grosse Zerstörung. In der Folge gründete der Bundesstaat eine Küstenschutzbehörde, die sich dem Meer entgegenstemmt. Der Mississippi hätte dafür ein wichtiges Instrument sein sollen: Massenhaft sollten mit «Diversionen» Flusswasser und Sedimente in die Feuchtgebiete geleitet werden, um sie zu nähren – und um neues Land zu bilden. Am «Nepunte Pass», an einem natürlichen Seitenarm des Mississippi, sieht der Wissenschaftler Alex Kolker Beweise dafür, wie der mächtige Fluss Land bildet – wenn man ihn lässt. Doch Fischer kämpften gegen die Sedimentumleitung, weil sie wegen des Süsswassers um ihre Austern und Shrimps fürchteten. Der Gouverneur von Louisiana stellte sich auf ihre Seite und stoppe zwei Diversionen. Damit fehlen zentrale Projekte im Kampf gegen den Landverlust. Die Zukunft von Louisianas Küste ist ungewiss.

There is something about a journey. Whether it is a long-anticipated vacation or an emergency that calls you away from all that is familiar, a journey is a new beginning. One moment you're in your own home, surrounded by all the things that have collected to facilitate your daily activities and routines. The next moment, you're in a car, a train, an airplane flying across the landscape toward the unknown. Sooner or later, we each find ourselves on a journey. This life teaches us again and again that what is familiar today can be upended in a moment. We sew the fabric of our lives to cradle and support us, but the threads are fragile, and eventually, there will be a tear. Patterns vanish, routines deteriorate, and we are suddenly forced to re-create what we need—in effect to re-create who we are. It is at those moments that we rediscover our hidden reserves as we consciously evaluate and determine what, indeed, matters most in our lives. Tragedy and disasters can also offer unanticipated blessings. In a generous act of grace and kindness, our guest on The Breggin Hour invited Peter Breggin to share his perspectives on being a head injury patient. After over 60 years of helping patients and vulnerable persons to understand and overcome head injuries and brain damage from psychiatric drugs, electroshock, and lobotomy, Peter suffered a stroke in August of 2025. The damage has been serious enough that the Breggins have traveled to Florida to be evaluated for participation in a cutting-edge program for patients with brain injuries of various kinds. For the Breggins, Peter's injury and the symptoms he is experiencing are so fresh that he has not talked publicly before about his subjective reactions to the experience. That changed when this week's guest, screenwriter Steve Miller, said, “This is fascinating—please tell me more.” Steve Miller has been a writer for film and TV for over 25 years—he lives and breathes stories, and knew he was hearing a unique one in this interview. A personally thoughtful and caring man, he is also wide awake to the evils of our world and the nefarious goals of globalists who want to control the world. Covid Unmasked: 2020 and Beyond is Steve Miller's excellent documentary, which exposes the underlying motives and hidden puppet masters who brought us all to the brink of global economic disaster while setting in motion the events of the Covid era that continue to claim lives today. With this broad shared background, the conversation turned to the personal. What followed may be the most intimate hour with the Breggins ever recorded. ______ Learn more about Dr. Peter Breggin's work: https://breggin.com/ See more from Dr. Breggin's long history of being a reformer in psychiatry: https://breggin.com/Psychiatry-as-an-Instrument-of-Social-and-Political-Control Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal, the how-to manual @ https://breggin.com/a-guide-for-prescribers-therapists-patients-and-their-families/ Get a copy of Dr. Breggin's latest book: WHO ARE THE “THEY” - THESE GLOBAL PREDATORS?

Max kicks off his annual training rant—breaking down the highs, lows, and downright absurd moments of recurrent at "the training center." Dylan adds perspective on flight training efficiency and why a great instructor makes all the difference. The mailbag delivers everything from a new layover guide in Portsmouth to a 14-year-old aircraft dealer to a Marine pilot navigating a tricky transition to the airlines, plus a Learjet Pilot with a 1 hour call-out seeks guidance. In Flight Advice, a hard-working pilot is stalled out waiting for the industry to start moving again.

(Seminarhaus Engl) Im weiteren geht es um die nächsten Bereiche des achtfachen Pfades, nämlich rechte Absicht, wofür ein Erkennen unserer Absicht hinter unseren Handlungen gehört. Wissensklarheit ist ein wichtiges Instrument dafür, das wir in der Vipassanapraxis entwickeln. Unsere Absichten führen zu entsprechenden Handeln, als erstes auf der gedanklichen Ebene, dann wie wir handeln und sprechen, ob privat oder beruflich. Für Buddha sind das wesentliche Aspekte unseres Dhammaweges.
