I've only just realized that today is the 20th anniversary of the 2005-10-08 Kashmir earthquake. A horrific event - over 70,000 killed - I don't know if a final figure ever emerged. I spent years studying this event and its aftershock sequence.

At Géoazur, France. You see my dilemma?
I am not 100% sure that ringing this will have the desired effect.

As the storm #Amy batters Norway, you can see her signature in the data from #earthquake monitoring stations. This is #seismometer data for the last 24 hours at station IU.KONO (Kongsberg, Norway) as of 12:00 local time on 2025-10-04. Open data displayed with just a few lines of python code. #obspy
24 hours of seismic data on a station in Norway, October 4, 2025. You see increasing noise as storm Amy approaches.

I find this site mesmerizing. It is silent though - the winds outside are not.

Also found this in Foyles in London. Dreamweaver (2023) by Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo. It is excellent! I sang a couple of his choral pieces many years ago - worth checking out.

Still reading the History of the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) - 380 of many hundred pages in - but I needed something short and fictional as a break. Enter Ian McEwan’s «The Cockroach» …

Two concerts in Oslo I would like to go to this evening! I decided the only solution was to go to neither🤪 I’ve been to concerts 4 out of the last 5 evenings so I probably should take a break. (Highasakite, Pete Roth Trio w. Bill Bruford, Øystein Greni + Lissie, Thea and the Wild)
Images from 4 different concerts in Oslo.

Absolutely speechless after #highasakite «Testament» at Unity Arena - that was incredible! Thunderous but crystal clear sound - amazing vocals(!) - brilliant stage show - sold out arena. 2025-09-27 Fantastic band - do catch them on this tour if you can!

I’ve just spent the evening in the company of one of my very favourite musicians - Bill Bruford! With the Pete Roth Trio live at Herr Nilsen, Oslo 2025-09-26. A unique player - and a superb band. I have «Original Sin» on continuous playback in my head right now! No photos from the show.

Truth be known, I only went to the store to buy the new CD from Robert Plant and Saving Grace (saw them live in Oslo in May - fantastic!!) - but you know what I’m like in music stores. New album by Malin Pettersen, also Keith Jarrett, Kleive and Reiersrud. So much music, so little time! 😢
