This week we're joined by robotics engineer, electronic music producer, and Future Fossils co-founder Evan “Skytree” Snyder — who has recently been asked to help design the sounds made by the next wave of Amazon warehouse robots. In this first part of our discussion, we explore the evolutionary and psychological considerations for designing human-compatible robot sounds, talk brilliant birds and their mimicry of people and machines, and riff on the manipulative utility of cuteness for both good and evil.In part two, available to Patreon supporters later this week, we talk about Evan's work to reconstruct the soundscapes of The Age of Dinosaurs, his experiments with using radioactive mineral samples to control modular synthesizers, and his reflections on the use of sound for deep-time communication with future humans and/or extraterrestrials…✨ Go Deeper• If you value this show and would like to see it thrive, support Future Fossils on Patreon and please leave a good review on Apple Podcasts!

Thomas Gray's mother, Patricia, died yesterday. Thomas pays tribute to his "one and only".

Isaiah 40:11 “He tends his flock like a shepherd. he gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart, he gently leads those that have young.”⁣ ⁣ Let your Prayer Focus be towards women who are pregnant, especially any who might be experiencing complications or those about to give birth. Name anyone you know in this situation before the Lord and ask for His protection for them and to free them from fear and anxiety.⁣ ⁣ COVID-19 restrictions mean that most women will not be able to follow their previously arranged birthing plan or even have their birthing partner with them during labour. Pray for peace for them and that they are able to draw additional comfort and strength from the midwives and other professionals supporting them. Ask God to help all the staff at this time, that they will have even more stamina, patience and grace than usual as they care for mothers and babies during the pandemic. Pray for protection from the virus for pregnant women on antenatal wards and for mothers and newborn babies on postnatal wards and those recovering at home. As you pray for the midwives, nurses, health visitors and doctors. Name any of them you know before the Lord.⁣ ⁣ If you personally know a midwife or health professional why not send an encouraging card to them or put together a small care package of treats they can enjoy when off-duty. Just be sure to observe the social distancing rules and leave it on their doorstep!⁣ ⁣ Let your Worship focus be that your joy is found in the Lord!⁣ ⁣

Psalm 72:12-14 “For He will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help. He will take pity on the weak and the needy and save them from death. He will rescue them from oppression and violence for precious is their blood in His sight.”⁣ ⁣ Let your Prayer Focus be towards the most vulnerable communities and those working to help and support them during this pandemic.⁣ ⁣ Pray for homeless people who can quite often have additional physical and mental health problems. Pray for social workers and those in charities in and around Leeds like The Crypt, The Lighthouse and Caring for Life who are offering extra support at this time.⁣ ⁣ Pray for refugees and asylum seekers, many of them are already traumatised by situations they have fled in their own countries. Pray for Christians working for Solace and similar agencies who are offering counselling and care via digital media during the COVID-19 outbreak.⁣ ⁣ Ask God to help the many migrant workers who have been laid off work but can't go home. Some have fallen into poverty and homelessness. Pray for people working for Social Services, Department for Employment and other public services trying to quickly get emergency financial help out. ⁣ ⁣ Pray for the many volunteers working in Food Banks who are trying hard to keep up with the increased need for their help from those who are struggling financially. May they give out love, hope and encouragement along with the food.⁣ ⁣ There are also thousands of international students in the UK who can't go home and who are worried about their own families overseas. Pray for local churches, student groups and organisations who minister to them. Organisations like the International Students Club within our Leeds based Universities, UCCF and Friends International.⁣ ⁣ The next time you're out shopping why not buy an extra non-perishable item or two and put it in the food bank collection box which you'll find at many supermarkets.⁣ ⁣ Let your Worship Focus be to cry out a Hallelujah to Jesus recognising that He has overcome the world!⁣ ⁣

Isaiah 9:6 “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”⁣ ⁣ Let your Prayer Focus be on people working in the background to provide vital healthcare equipment and services in the fight against Coronavirus. Thank God for their knowledge, skills and commitment at this vital time. ⁣ ⁣ Pray for tech companies, laboratory scientists and technicians working to produce quickly great numbers of tests for Coronavirus. Pray for good communication and coordination of these services, so that tests are efficiently placed where there is priority and need. Pray for the protection and safety of those handling these test kits. Dare to pray for miraculous breakthroughs within scientific research and development at this time. Scientific research is a slow methodical process. But we need God-accelerated supernatural help for those scientists who are working on new treatments for Coronavirus and on a vaccine that will protect humans against it. No vaccines against viruses of this type currently exist so ask our Creator God to graciously reveal divinely inspired solutions.⁣ ⁣ Also, ask for God's help for engineers in different industries and universities who are working to develop and produce the ventilators and other equipment our hospitals urgently need. Pray for craftspeople working in clothing manufacture to produce the hospital gowns, masks and other protective equipment needed by front line workers. In all these areas pray for those who are coordinating and managing production and distribution, so that items will get to where they are needed without hold-ups. Ask for all of God's people working in these industries that they may know His grace and favour in order to do their job well, to lead, and to support their fellow workers.⁣ ⁣ Finally, pray for our health data scientists across the country who are carefully collating and analysing patient data about COVID-19 in order to help doctors and public health officers quickly understand, manage and lessen the effects of this disease.⁣ ⁣ Think of anyone you might know personally working in these areas and send them a message of support and prayer.⁣ ⁣ Let your Worship Focus be that which declares to God: “Your Name is Power, Your Name is Healing” ⁣ ⁣

Isaiah 41:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”⁣ ⁣ Let your Prayer Focus be to pray for our police service and armed forces, including all the community service officers and civilian support staff who work with them. Ask God to bless their work in keeping our country safe and secure. Many forces are operating with far fewer staff than normal as their people are either self isolating or are sick themselves. Pray for health and stamina for everyone still working. Both military and police officers have been asked to do duties outside their normal scope, such as supporting the NHS, transporting essential supplies and securing sensitive sites around our country. Please pray for their leaders as they work with Government and other agencies to plan and manage these duties. Emergency laws to manage the COVID-19 outbreak have been put action so also pray for peace and social order to be maintained in calm and wise ways by the police. ⁣ ⁣ Lord Jesus, in your Name we come against those spirits of darkness who would seek to stir up any social unrest at this time. We ask that you will be merciful to us as a country. Forgive us for our sins and heal our land. Send your angels on assignment to fight for us. We especially pray for those young people who feel frustrated and at a loose end during this lockdown. Lord we pray that you will supernaturally reveal yourself to thousands of young people at this time. Send dreams and visions. Let the words of truth and love that have been sown into their lives over many past years bear fruit now. We dare to pray that this season will cause a permanent downturn in immorality, gang activity and drug crime. That many will break free and that we will see a revival of faith and hope especially in our cities.⁣ ⁣ Get in touch and encourage any individual members of the police and military forces that you might know. Let them know that we are thinking of them and praying for them.⁣ ⁣ Let our Worship Focus be: God, you are good.⁣ ⁣

Psalm 40:11 “You, oh Lord, will not withhold your compassion from me. Your loving kindness and your truth will continually preserve me.”⁣ ⁣ Let your Prayer Focus be to pray for our continuing mental health and well-being. Say thank-you to God that He has given us all who believe the gift of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 tells us that God will never give us the spirit of fear, instead He gives us the Holy Spirit with mighty power, love and self-control. Thank Him that He preserves our minds day by day.⁣ ⁣ Ask the Lord to show us wisdom regarding the Coronavirus about what is a wise amount of news to consume and ask Him to help us have the strength of character to switch off when we need to.⁣ ⁣ Pray for those isolated at home alone, that they will receive comfort and encouragement from others and from our Heavenly Father.⁣ ⁣ Ask Him to strengthen any front-line workers you know who are battling mental and physical tiredness. And also those that might be facing staff shortages and unfamiliar working conditions.⁣ ⁣ Finally, ask Father God to birth new and creative thoughts and ideas in our minds. Ask Him for stories, poems, songs and pictures that will stimulate us, banish any lethargy and boredom and encourage us with His hope and goodness.⁣ ⁣ Practise meditating in the Word of God for 10-15 minutes. It displaces fear and other negative thoughts. Do this by focusing in on reading a short Bible passage, just take a few verses and read them through three times. The first time read to get a general sense of what the passage is about. The second time make a note of any key words or phrases that jump out at you. The final time ask Holy Spirit “What are You particularly saying to me through these words or phrases?” Reflect on anything you may need to do as a result.⁣ ⁣ Let your Worship Focus be that if the stars were made to worship God then so will I! ⁣ ⁣

Joshua 1:9 “I command you - be strong and very courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go”⁣ ⁣ Let your Prayer Focus be to pray for the children and young people that you know. Name them before Father God and thank Him for the gift of them - for their lives, their energy, their gifts and for their futures. This is most likely a challenging time of adjustment with the usual routines of school, college, friends and learning being set aside. Pray for the children of key workers still going into school and for their teachers and helpers seeking to create a positive and secure learning environment for them. Ask Holy Spirit to protect the health of these key workers and to guide and help other teachers as they are seeking to provide online lessons and possibly pastoral support.⁣ ⁣ Pray for young people who might well have difficult questions about what is happening during this pandemic, with legitimate fears and anxieties about their future - especially those due to take examinations this summer. Ask God to give parents and careers increased levels of patience and empathy. Ask for wisdom also, as they talk things through with young people, helping to support good mental health and wellbeing.⁣ ⁣ Let's pray for an unprecedented move of God in our nation to bring thousands of young people into a life changing relationship with Him. Ask God to empower children's and youth workers who are keeping in touch and caring by whatever means they can. Pray for the work of organisations in Leeds such as Kidz Klub, Space, Leeds Faith in Schools and Missional Generation. Pray also for many other similar organisations nationally, who are reaching out and working hard to give extra support to children, young people and youth workers at this time.⁣ ⁣ Action: If appropriate, keep in touch! Let children and young people know you are thinking of them and praying for them. With parental and carers permission if needed, why not post cards or little gifts through the letterbox or get them delivered by mail. Do you know any single parents? They especially might need your support and encouragement. What could you do to help?⁣ ⁣ Let your Worship Focus be: Our God is with us, He will never leave us⁣ ⁣

Philippians 1:18-19 “And I will continue to rejoice, knowing that the lavish supply of the Sprit of Jesus, the Anointed One, and your intercession for me will bring about my deliverance.”⁣ ⁣ Let your Prayer Focus be to intercede like never before for our brothers and sisters living and working in developing countries, especially where people are facing deprivation, such as refugee camps and settlements, townships and other places where people are living in very close quarters. Social distancing and isolation are not options here.⁣ ⁣ Pray for frontline health, social and community workers in these communities. They have very difficult, dangerous and challenging work to do during this health emergency.⁣ ⁣ Pray for the resources of the Church worldwide to be mobilised. For buildings, land, equipment, food and medicines to be released to the poor where they are most needed. Pray for Christians living in both these countries and internationally to gain the ear and favour of those in authority, power and wealth in order to bless those in great need.⁣ ⁣ Ask God for a supernatural change in the season. That this pandemic will supernaturally recede and that humanitarian disasters will not overwhelm Africa, southern America and south east Asia as well as the many refugee camps and communities in Syria, Turkey, Greece and Italy. God who was able to part the Red Sea, who was able to tear the Temple veil in two, who was able to raise King Jesus from the dead is still on the throne. Our merciful God has not abandoned His creation, His Earth, His people. And through us all, as we pray, the people of the Earth will be blessed.⁣ ⁣ Action: Why not research and find out about Christian individuals and organisations working into these situations we've just prayed about. Let them know that you are praying for them. Give what extra you are able to support their work at this difficult time.⁣ ⁣ If you can, email your MP and ask them to raise this with appropriate ministers who are able to lobby for suitable strategies and increased support into agencies working into refugee, townships, slums and similar situations.⁣ ⁣

Let conscious acts of thanksgiving, praise and prayer, re-focus, strengthen and refresh us! What comes in through our eyes and ears is so important. To counter fear, anxiety and mistrust let's be those who turn first to God.⁣ ⁣ 1 Corinthians 12:26-27 “...whatever happens to one happens to all. If one suffers everyone suffers. If one is honoured everyone rejoices. You are the body of the Anointed One and each of you is a unique and vital part of it.”⁣ ⁣ Let your Prayer Focus to hold up our brothers and sisters around the world that are also facing this pandemic. Name those you know before the Lord and declare His love, protection and peace over them. Pray for their families, work, testimony and influence in their communities and nations. Pray for revival and the work of the Kingdom of God to accelerate greatly in this season. ⁣ ⁣ That's worth repeating. Get in touch and let others know you are praying for them. Why not consider financially supporting overseas ministries where the current crisis is creating urgent needs.⁣ ⁣ Let your Worship Focus be: “I've seen You move, come move the mountains, and I believe I'll see You do it again. Your promise still stands, Great is Your faithfulness.” ⁣ ⁣

Let conscious acts of thanksgiving, praise and prayer, re-focus, strengthen and refresh us! What comes in through our eyes and ears is so important. To counter fear, anxiety and mistrust let's be those who turn first to God.⁣ ⁣ Philippians 4:6-7 “Be anxious about nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” ⁣ ⁣ Let your Prayer focus be for those who are in social isolation because they are in a vulnerable group, such as elderly people in care and nursing homes, severely disabled children and those with underlying diseases who have to stay away from others. Give thanks for, and ask God, to help all those caring for them in homes and in the community and for relatives unable to visit at the moment. ⁣ ⁣ Send an encouraging note or card to let people know they are not forgotten while they cannot have physical visitors. Some residents and patients in care homes and hospitals may ⁣not have access to a mobile device, so using snail mail might be the best alternative! ⁣ ⁣ Let your Worship Focus be: Today let's declare our trust in God for the vulnerable; let's ‘Raise a hallelujah in the presence of our enemies'. ⁣ ⁣

Let conscious acts of thanksgiving, praise and prayer, re-focus, strengthen and refresh us! What comes in through our eyes and ears is so important. To counter fear, anxiety and mistrust let's be those who turn first to God. ⁣ ⁣ Psalm 46:1-2 “God is our refuge and strength, a very present and well-proved help in times of trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change”⁣ ⁣ And verse 10: “be still, and recognise and understand that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth!” ⁣ ⁣ Let you Prayer Focus be for our medical and healthcare professionals, for doctors, nurses, and all those involved in frontline patient care. Pray also for hospital support staff and for care workers serving in our communities. Pray for laboratory staff and all those scientists involved in collecting, modelling and analysing the data concerning this virus, including the World Health Organisation. Pray for hospital leaders, practice managers and care administrators seeking to deploy resources as best possible. Praise God for them. May He protect their health and give them all grace and strength in a time of very heavy workload and high public anxiety. We may not have all the answers, but we are connected to the One who does.⁣ ⁣ Encourage individuals that you know who are working in these fields. Let them know that we are praying for them.⁣ ⁣ Let your Worship Focus be: Show us your glory, show us your power, we want to see you open up the floodgates, a mighty river flowing from your heart.⁣ ⁣

1 Timothy 2:1-2 “I urge then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people - for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.” What comes in through our eyes and ears is so important. To counter fear, anxiety and mistrust let's be those who turn first to God. Let's also “fight with Scripture for the victory that Jesus has already purchased.” (Bill Johnson, Bethel Church, Redding) Let your Prayer Focus be for our Government, national and regional leaders, public health officers, and the Civil Service. There are difficult decisions to be made and complex plans to be developed and implemented in a rapidly unfolding scenario. Pray for unity, wisdom, stamina and strength for Parliament and our local authorities. Pray that our four nations will respond constructively to those in leadership. Pray for those that are influential in our society, such as the royal family and other celebrities that they too might hear God for themselves and be a voice and a force for good. If you're able, let specific people in these positions know that you are praying for them. Many of them have social media feeds. It's not very British and it's not very fashionable but be out there with your encouragement! Let your Worship focus be: “God is rich in mercy and He is slow to anger, His name is great and His heart is kind.”

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 “Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus.” Today, let's lift our eyes and ears away from the wall-to-wall media coverage of the virus and let conscious acts of thanksgiving, praise and prayer, re-focus, strengthen and refresh us! What comes in through our eyes and ears is so important. To counter fear, anxiety and mistrust let's be those who turn first to God. Let's also “fight with Scripture for the victory that Jesus has already purchased.” (Bill Johnson) Let your Prayer Focus be your family, friends, workplace, study and neighbourhood communities. Be specific and name individuals before the Lord. Ask Him what He is doing in their lives during this season and how you can partner with Him in this. Give your concerns for your own #health to Him too. Remember that “His massive arms are wrapped around you, protecting you. You can run under his covering of majesty and hide. His arms of faithfulness are a shield keeping you from harm.” Psalm 91:4 We have an amazing opportunity to serve and bless others in the current circumstances. Let's be the hands and feet of Jesus, looking out for practical ways in which we can help others who may be self-isolating, elderly or vulnerable. Offer to do things like, picking up shopping, collecting prescriptions, and if it's appropriate offer to pray for people. Let your Worship Focus be: The Lord bless you and keep you.

Patricia Gray is an animal music researcher, working with all kinds of creatures (humans, whales, songbirds, bonobos, even coral reefs) to understand what functions pitch and rhythm have in animal communication, how the sound of our living planet is actually a symphony of hidden meaning, and how to improve our lives by embracing the innate musicality of our human brains.https://research.uncg.edu/patricia-gray/We Discuss:• How she went from being a concert pianist to the chamber music director for the National Academy of Sciences to the piano-playing lead of a National Science Foundation-funded research lab;(http://www.wildmusic.org/research)• How our understanding of animal communication has shifted over the last few decades from using human language to using music as the orienting metaphor;• The evolution of (and scientific study of the evolution of) music-making in our species;• Pitch discrimination, beat entrainment, and musical memory (rhythm and frequency pattern detection, musical memory and capacity for repetition);• How human conversations rely on musical intelligence for us to flow together and follow and “jam” with each other;• The cultural origins of “biomusic” as a scientific discipline;• Making music with bonobo apes at the Georgia Tech animal communication lab;• Dancing sea lions and cockatoos;• Why do and don’t some animals learn to find the beat?;• Which came first, music or language?;• Harmonized sonic environments and acoustic ecology attuned to the biome (disrupted);• How human technology and civilization has disrupted animal communication in the wild AND human (and pet) psychology at home;• The songs of elephants, mice, bats, and other inaudible “songsters” revealed by new microphones;(https://www.mckalcounisrueppell.org/)• Whalesong!

Patricia Gray är konsertpianisten som gick över till att forska om apors rytmkänsla. Hon leder ett forskarprogram om biomusik och vill förstå hur musikalitet uppstår. Bland annat vill hon veta om dvärgschimpanser, bonoboer, har rytmkänsla, och har lagt ner en hel del forskning på att jamma med bonoboer på ett zoo. I ett annat experiment fick hon världsartisten Peter Gabriel att improvisera med en dvärgschimpans som är välkänd i forskarvärlden, Panbanisha. Lena Nordlund lena.nordlund@sverigesradio.se
