In a previous article, I looked at some ways of discovering what you want in life.
Those ways are a good start, but they often leave a lingering feeling that there’s something more that you actually want.
This article is about a quick, simple way of taking that next step.

As regular readers of this blog will know, I’m interested in striking music. As regular readers of this blog will also know, I have a sense of humour that occasionally wanders into areas of unhallowed eldritch horror that would probably have been better left alone.
Today’s post includes both themes.
The link below is to some Tuvan throat singing, accompanied by a range of instruments; it’s striking and elegant.

The next link is to a crossover between classic blues and Tuvan singing and music; some listeners (including myself) think that it’s brilliant, but others vehemently disagree.

The last link is to a crossover that was not such a good idea, namely throat singing combined with rap music. Much though I would like to describe it, like the famous quote about Wagner’s music, as not being as bad as it sounds, honesty compels me to remain silent…

I hope that at least one of these experiences brightens your day.

The new version of the Hyde & Rugg website is now live, here:
Among other things, it contains a resource section which pulls together our articles on a range of topics, including academic craft skills for students, elicitation methods, requirements, design, and education theory.
There’s also a section about our research, plus a section on the codes we’ve worked on. Again, these pull together our previous blog articles into a structured framework.
Over the next few months, we’ll be adding more material, particularly in the sections on academic craft skills and on our research.
We hope that you’ll find the site a useful complement to this blog.
