Notes

Have you ever had the feeling that you didn’t really know  what you were doing, and it was just a matter of time before someone realized it and exposed you as a fraud? Turns out  it’s not just psychological, there’s also biology behind this nasty feeling that you’re a fraud about to be exposed, explains Olivia Fox Cabane.

I often get goosebumps from music, most of the times it's songs that build up to "really big", Minnie Ripertons "Les Fleurs" is one that immediately comes to mind. Well, now I know why that happens—I get scared.

According to Huron, researchers have discovered that several of the frisson’s acoustic correlates—things that seem to induce the sensation in listeners—are fear-related. These correlates include rapidly large increases in the loudness of music, abrupt changes in tempo and rhythm, a broadening of frequencies and an increase in the number of sound sources, among other factors.

This is the end, you have reached the last note on this site.

I launched this site in it's current form in early 2021. The previous incarnation was a fully static HTML site without a blog engine and I used Tumbrl to host the blog. Tumblr was super easy to set up and get going, including using custom domains, a no-brainer at the time. When building this new site I looked into ways to convert and import the archive from the Tumblr blog but eventually decided against it and opted instead to cherry-pick some posts and leave the Tumblr version as it is. I don't maintain it in any way, and have no plans to make an effort to keep it alive, should Tumblr go away or whatever. Here it is: rednas.tumblr.com
