Episode #2

Here is the second podcast, slightly delayed since production but ready for your enjoyment. The reason for the delay is that neither I nor Mogens have found the picture we promised in the podcast, so we'll have to get back to you with that one. Greetings from the Ringve Early Music Course here at lovely Sund, Innerøy, Norway.

Beware of flying Sterling and Norwegian

This is flying with Norwegian or Sterling: I arrive at Copenhagen airport 1,5 hours early (I had planned on being two hours early but apparently the airport train was malfunctioning). There is one counter and a long line that has not been organised at all. While the line quadruples in size, security from another airline makes sure to move the line so that their passengers can come through. I'll probably fly with that airline next time.

Since I don't have a copy of Mattheson's Neueröffnetes Orchestre I looked for the quote and found this page that quotes Mattheson directly on what they mean. Here is a translation to English by Babelfish

Cokin systems

I'm planning on getting a filter system for my lenses, and I'm investigating the Cokin P system. I found this article that is really nice with lots of images and explanations on how to use such a system.
