This week's pod features PSO's sophomore full-length release, Second Season which collects 18 pieces from PSO's second year spanning March 2019 to March 2020. The release was inspired by the invitation to participate in the ICOSA (an art collective in Austin) Soundscapes program. Outside their art space, these crossfaded tracks will play from dusk to dawn until January 9, 2024.There will be a listening party on Thursday, December 21 at ICOSA in the Canopy Art complex at 916 Springdale Road in Austin, Texas. The music will start at 5:34 which is the official time of the beginning of the sunset. We will have hot chocolate, adult beverages, and on-site screen printing of PSO merch. We will also have a brand new CD complete with a double-sided 11x17 Riso/inkjet printed folded cover on hand. You can get one in Austin or from the Bandcamp page. There will be links in the show notes.So…Bring a camp chair and a mug. The event is free.We begin with PSO no.52, Complete Orbit recorded among a singing chorus of birds then seg into sounds from a lemonade stand, cacophonous calls of purple martins from the purple martin sanctuary, seaplanes from Friday Harbor in the San Juan Islands, and a pretty broken guitar in Birch Bay, Washington.TRACKLIST01 Complete Orbit No. 52, 4.18.2019 (2:34)02 Lemonade for Days No. 71, 10.17.2019 (1:48)03 Purple Martin Suite (Part 1) No. 88, 3.22.2020, Purple Martin Sanctuary, Austin, Texas (2:40)04 Slip Slide Cumulonimbus No. 54, 5.9.2019 (1:26)05 Axes on Axis No. 53, 4.26.2019 (1:53)06 Friday Harmonics No. 65, 8.16.2019, Friday Harbor, San Juan Islands (2:21)07 Point Texas No. 74, 11.9.2019 (1:25)08 Flights No. 60, 6.26.2019 (1:12)09 Lotus Loop No. 82, 2.3.2020 (1:44)10 See Planes of Friday Harbor No. 64, 8.9.2019, Friday Harbor, San Juan Islands (2:34)11 Lemonade Stand No. 70, 10.10.2019 (1:38)12 Clear Winter＊s Day No. 83, 2.16.2020 (2:31)13 Spare No. 55, 5.16.2019 (1:59)14 Science Fairport Convention No. 80, 1.15.2020 (1:41)15 Sprinkler Shadow No. 68, 9.19.2019 (2:27)16 Sundials and Sirens No. 58, 6.13.2019 (1:25)17 Birch Bay Swan Song No. 61, 8.3.2019, Birch Bay, Washington (1:12)18 Purple Martin Suite (Part 2) No.89, 3.27.2020, Purple Martin Sanctuary, Austin, Texas (1:40)LINKSICOSA Soundscapes: https://www.icosacollective.com/soundscapePorch Swing Orchestra Website:  https://porchswingorchestra.org/Porch Swing Orchestra YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PorchSwingOrchestraPorch Swing Orchestra on Spotify:Porch Swing Orchestra on Bandcamp: https://sunsetcommission.bandcamp.com/ Get full access to Porch Swing Orchestra at porchswingorchestra.substack.com/subscribe

In part 2 of this fascinating and personal conversation, the concept of ‘what is time' is discussed and William Andrewes shares his own profound definition. William also explains how he develops, designs, and makes his much sought-after sundials. Each sundial is a labor of love, individually designed for each client be they a family or an institution. Because of this, each sundial is a unique object, in part because each is made specifically for the location in which the sundial will be kept. William gives his recommendations for the best books to learn about Longitude and his favorite horological books which make great gifts to give this Holiday season, or any time of the year.

Sundials aside, we talk about some watches that have caught our eye, and a friend who has a new pick up. Enjoy!

✨ Sundials once served entire civilizations as the only means to tell time!

Porch Swing Orchestra is an art project that pairs music recorded outside with photographs made on-site. Performed and recorded at home and away, solo and with others – birds, guitars, and trucks conspire to form a chance-operated orchestra of delight. The Podcast and YouTube streams include the most current PSO piece along with randomly selected pieces from the past. This edition includes a beautiful poem written and read by Emily Scarlet Kramer, originally posted in the heady months of April 2020. Its message of hope and care feels just as urgent today. no.211's title was inspired by poetry, so it's fitting that the Pod and YouTube streams also feature the medium.Also in the streams is PSO no.50 from March of 2019, a piece inspired by Wallace Steven's book of poems Spring and All. In my introduction, I reproduced the following fragment from this book-length poem that might as well be the PSO credo.Our orchestra is the cat's nuts – Banjo jazz with a nickleplated amplifier to soothe the savage beast –0:00: no.211 I + Bird + Music Create a Universe the Size of a Bathtub, June 20, 2023 3:06: no. 58 | Sundials and Sirens, June 13, 2019:4:36: no.186 Gleaming the White Cube, Lora Reynolds Gallery Oct 19, 2022 6:20: no. 93 Tune Poem, poem written and read by Emily Kramer, April 26, 2020 8:11: no. 207 From Where I Sit, May 4, 2023 10:21: no. 50 Spring and All March 19, 2019LINKSOG PSO site at https://porchswingorchestra.org/See the images and listen without the introduction at https://youtu.be/LZbjJIkQ5oQPSO Newsletter https://porchswingorchestra.substack.com/ Get full access to Porch Swing Orchestra at porchswingorchestra.substack.com/subscribe

Editor-in-Chief Elliot Williams and Managing Editor Tom Nardi start this week's episode off with the announcement of Hackaday Berlin on March 25th. It's been quite some time since we've been on the other side of the pond, because we had to cancel 2020's Hackaday Belgrade due to COVID-19, so excitement is high for all three days of this "one-day" event. After a new What's that Sound, discussion moves on to an impressive collection of DIY sundials, the impact filament color has on the strength of 3D printed parts, the incredible retrocomputer replicas of Michael Gardi, and the Arduino FPGA that you've probably never heard of. We'll wrap things up with the unexpected difficulties of mixing multiple cheap audio sources in Linux, and try to figure out why our kitchen appliances need to be connected to the Internet. Check out the links and tell us what you think about this episode in  the comments!  

A conversation with Linda Safran (Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, University of Toronto) on the hitherto-unexplored world of Byzantine diagrams. We talk about maps, sundials, and more abstract representations of the world and even God. The conversation is based on Linda's papers in a volume she co-edited, The Diagram as Paradigm: Cross-Cultural Approaches (Dumbarton Oaks 2022), as well as "A Prolegomenon to Byzantine Diagrams,” in the edited volume The Visualization of Knowledge in Medieval and Early Modern Europe (Brepols 2020) 361-382. Also check out her dynamic website on medieval art and architecture.

This episode has a rather celestial theme! We're off to a prehistoric monument that's linked to the sun and we're even making our own sundials at home. That, plus events from across the country. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Many of us can find the time of day quickly and accurately but where did the idea of time keeping originate and how did our ancestors manage without the instant access we take for granted today? From ancient shadow and water clocks to the latest super accurate optical clocks, Bridget Kendal explores time keeping with the Curator of the Royal Observatory in London, Dr Louise Devoy; the Director of the Museum of the History of Science in Oxford, Dr Silke Ackermann; and watch and clock expert Grégory Gardinetti from the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie in Geneva.

It's our 1 year podcast-aversary! And in honor of this episode that's all about our time together, here's an uncut episode that's all about...you guessed it, inventions and objects that have to do with time.

Mike challenged Joey to a kick contest, so we decided to settle the score & discuss Sundials’ Kick along with 3 Ninjas Kick Back this week. We have a bit of a mystery guest this week, who requested that their identity be kept secret but is a card-carrying member of some kind of Cousin Danny’s fan club. Joey flaunts how many duckets he spends on the Dark Thoughts bandcamp while we record. We love a good 3-piece (in this case, later turned 4-piece) band like Sundials, so they get the W&C seal of approval. During the break we get super winded from our kick contest, but we’ll leave it up to you to decide who the winner is. Our movie this week is a favorite of a certain North Korean politician. The ninjas’ grandpa (fka EGG SHEN) is more nimble than probably Joey and Mike combined and one of his grandsons (Rocky) looks exactly like friend of the show Mark M. (as heard on Episode 22). We brainstorm some 2020 resolutions for W&C. LVAC’s Let’s Hang Out: Holiday Hang Out 2019 is next week, so go to that! Take it easy & see you next year. Whine & Cheese: A Podcast About Whiny Records and Cheesy Movies began in Spring 2018. It is a love letter to all things whiny and cheesy from Rites of Spring to Hawthorne Heights, Varsity Blues to Fifty First Dates, and everything in between. Listen as the trio of Joey Breeding, Mike Paulshock, and Tyler Smith mix and match two of life’s great audio and visual pleasures. Twitter and Instagram. While you’re at it, email us with your pairing suggestions, questions, Weird Al parodies, and comments! As always, ratings & reviews go a long way and are appreciated. Thanks LVAC for the support!

Sully reads “We Always Ate the Kraut Pierogi First” and “I Don’t Know How to Use Sundials, but I Appreciate That Shadows Have Things to Tell Us.”

In episode #5 we speak to Dr Frank King (Churchill College) about his recent book "Sundials: Cutting Time", the challenges and mathematics involved in designing such classical timepieces, and whether a young Sir Isaac Newton was himself the creator of a Sundial.Hosted by: Dan Aspel (INI Communications Manager)

The History of Keeping Time

Damian chugs a ton of whiskey and jumps into a tour bus to interview Dowsing, Sundials and Alissa Reynolds! They have a round table chat about touring life, where they grew up and came into their own, their respective records and what they learn about themselves and each other in their cramped quarters. All this and so much more in today's audio adventure.

Steve Agee comes to hang out at Jonah Raydio to talk about Desert Rock, getting into comedy to meet your music idols, and his musical feud with MATT BERRY. Also, new stuff by Sundials, a great Turf War demo track, and a crazy story about Arizona's own "THE BLACKS". Sponsored by BLUECOLLARDISTRO. Learn more about your ad choices.

To design a Colonial American Day program, I recommend offering six stations with one or more adult volunteers manning each station. Each station would have a different theme and each activity at that station should take 15-20 minutes to complete. Teachers at Hayes Elementary School in Las Vegas, Nevada, led by Shauna Harris, designed a program to match this description. You can view their 90-minute rotation plan here and the accompanying Pilgrim's Passport (a sheet for student reflection on at each station) here. Alternatively, teachers may choose to dedicate one day to an individual station's theme, doing all the activities from that station in a whole class or small group setting throughout a single day.Station possibilities include art, cornhusk dolls, science, games, cooking, and household chores/trades. Examples of centers for each of these stations appear below and are also available as a downloadable document. The downloadable document is editable and includes needed materials for 72 participants (12 per station at one time). Pictures of these activities taken on September 16, 2009 at Green Valley High School as part of the Clark County School District Teaching American History Grant appear below.___________________________________________Cornhusk Dolls Place a tarp on the floor and place a large tub of water in the middle to pre-soak cornhusks.
