We will soon be able to provide a streamed version of the great Livja concert that we could not broadcast this past weekend. It is one of the cultural events that we have discussed most in this blog and I am very much looking forward to watching/listening myself. ... http://blog.humlab.umu.se/jokkmokk2004/2004/02/11/concert-about-to-be-streamed/ This weekend in Jokkmokk has been a great experience. We have had an opportunity to take part in numerous activities and to meet several interesting people (probably more so than one would have as a ?normal? visitor to the market). We have learnt much ? both about S?mi culture and ... http://blog.humlab.umu.se/jokkmokk2004/2004/02/10/summing-up-and-looking-ahead/ Since I have had very little time to blog about the technical parts involved in this project, I thought that it would be suitable to mention something about it at this point. I will here summarize the work with the wireless LAN put up in Jokkmokk. In order to prepare for ... http://blog.humlab.umu.se/jokkmokk2004/2004/02/09/the-technical-aspect-of-the-project-wireless-lan-networking/ As you already have been informed the network connection from Jokkmokk went down completely just two hours before the live concert with Livia were to take place on Saturday night. After several days of preparation this was a rather irritating experience to say the least. The problem, occurring outside out control, ... http://blog.humlab.umu.se/jokkmokk2004/2004/02/09/network-disaster/ I was amazed at what this group has created in just a few days. These musicians have come from all over the world, collaborated and made *music*. Their music, I must say, is beautiful? The performance started with the didgeridoo, played by our very own Jim. It gave a sacred aura ... http://blog.humlab.umu.se/jokkmokk2004/2004/02/09/livja/ I am going to briefly finish my trip to Jokkmokk and tell you about what I did the afternoon the network crashed. After having decided that we were missing stories that lay with the Jokkmokk inhabitants, I decided to go and search for native Jokkmokkians and listen to what they ... http://blog.humlab.umu.se/jokkmokk2004/2004/02/09/finishing-jokkmokk/ Top 10 1. Dance house 2. Stephanie at the reindeer race 3. The Livja concert 4. Jim?s ability to stay calm in stressful situations 5. Breakfast and nice talks with our hosts the Sandstr?ms 6. Dancing in the red barn in the woods 7. Friendly salesmen 8. Nice art work 9. Mamma Dalton?s burgers 10. Story telling Bottom 5 1. Network ... http://blog.humlab.umu.se/jokkmokk2004/2004/02/09/thereses-top-10-and-bottom-5-of-jokkmokk-2004/ The perhaps most beautiful tune of the evening is quite clean. The contributing sounds are the didgeridoo, the flute, the drums (here the drums played a minor role) plus a female and a male voice, describing the journey of a bird. We get to follow the bird as it flies ... http://blog.humlab.umu.se/jokkmokk2004/2004/02/09/following-flying-feathers/ Something I really enjoyed about the Livia concert was the way in which music from all corners of the world was combined to form a varied and lively performance. However, what intrigued me the most was the way in which certain sounds seem to be universal. As I was listening ... http://blog.humlab.umu.se/jokkmokk2004/2004/02/09/universal-drums/
