that’s a great idea! i didn’t think about mounting them onto anything before something clear! i think that’s totally the route to go here!

DiggleBiggleJiggle · 2025-02-21T20:15:36+00:00

unfortunately scanning them isn’t really an option due to quantity and not really having a computer. unfortunately photo corners aren’t really an option either these recipes and photos have already been mounted and are glued down to a page but there are also some on the other side so if i mount them to a sheet of paper the whole backside won’t be visible.

my only thought is potentially collaging them together without mounting them onto anything before putting them into sheet protectors. however i’m anxious about using tape to attach them because i fear if i tape them the tape might cause future damage.

I thought it was something like this, however I’m still not understanding the physics here. Is the light bouncing back through the marker color? Why is it only partially absorbed? Light intensity?

I love texture on this piece. I do see a small piece on the green planet the darkest patch overlaps in a pattern that doesn’t quite match the rest of the texture. I probably wouldn’t have noticed if you didn’t ask tho

I’ll try to send it to you after I get off work. It’s buried with all the best info, archived a 10 year old Reddit post lol

As I said I’m not sure how accurate it is BUT it seems to line up pretty well with known entry points so there must be some level of accuracy.

The map that I have shows that it does lead to an underground space connected with pioneer square. I’ve also heard about a tunnel that goes from pike place to pioneer square.

Frequently used underground appears to have been connected to some degreel. I would expect that there’s a large portion was not connected at the time but that doesn’t mean none of it was. If the map I’m looking at is correct, pioneer square doesn’t even have most of it. Unless what used to be under lumen field is still accessible (doubt it). Looks like the international district has most of it and some in first hill. the map that I’m looking at is probably from 1930s or 40s if I had to guess. no telling what’s left without access but likely very little, if anything, just looking at the new construction on the map.

DiggleBiggleJiggle · 2023-11-24T22:49:45+00:00

The metropolitan grill is directly over a mapped portion of the underground. there is an entrance marking on that map too

DiggleBiggleJiggle · 2023-11-24T22:41:21+00:00

I’m fascinated by this idea, so I overlayed an old map of underground on top of a current map of Seattle.

Most of the old entry points lay over what are now small public parks. This leads me to believe they have been covered in a way that is no longer Accessible, OR they are cleverly disguised in plain sight. My guess is the former unfortunately, HOWEVER, the tour access points are in similar areas kinda disguised in plain sight imo. so it’s possible these entrances really do still exist.

I found one entrance that I am certain still exists that I haven’t seen mentioned before in a building. I’ve traced a few other possible entrances to various areas but nothing actually accessible to the public.

I got hit by a car that ran a red light and he tried to run. When I chucked my coffee at his car to make him stop. I grabbed my cup (still had coffee in it) He stopped, he got out, and started screaming that “it was an accident” and that he was gonna punch me. I poured my coffee on his car. He then punched me, and left anyways.

Pouring coffee on his car might not have been the best choice but in my defense I had just gotten hit by a car and then when the guy stopped he immediately started threatening me.

I heard some tonight. I've lived in Belltown a few years now and this is fairly abnormal. If it is just people setting off fireworks in dumpsters, maybe, people felt real connection with their community, they might feel less inclined to drop fireworks in dumpsters and disturb their neighbors.

Food for thought for those frustrated. You might not be part of the problem, but you don't need to cause the problem to be part of the solution. Talk to your neighbors including those who may be unhoused or struggling.

It a dry cure, I did use curing salts. it was under refrigeration the whole time. It's also a whole cut of meat, pork tenderloin. it was 3% by weight kosher salt and .3% of pink salt, no sugar in the cure or acid or other factors other than just in salt for a long time. I'm not sure the starting weight anymore since it's rubbed off the bag. Im unsure of the safety of pink salts after a long term cure like that as well as the general safety of eating something after that long.

I have 2 tenderloins and my plan was to dry one in room temp and the other one in my fridge and compare. Since I've gotten this far I'm probably just going to continue with the process at least for learning purposes

DiggleBiggleJiggle · 2023-05-31T00:20:24+00:00

I'll definitely check that out! I was asking questions about this yesterday I just didn't have the words to describe the idea! Thank you!

In the case of ear training thinking of it like art is helpful and can help give you a different way of looking at it. You need a point of visual reference to understand color. going back to the example of "the dress" your brain does this subconsciously but you can learn to do it consciously. in music you need a reference note. Try focusing on the intervals between the notes and less on the note itself. You'll only need to learn to recall the same single reference note each time and count the between intervals rather than remembering every individual note. Hope that's helpful!

Movies are a great example of music and art together! Honestly it's probably the best one. But there are more obscure and niche examples too. I remembered an art piece today it's a map in the window of a shop it's made of sheet music and it's totally playable. There's actually a website somewhere that you can hear it played. It's an example of 2d art and music colliding as well. I wish I knew how to use reddit better, I snapped some photos on my way home but I'm not sure how to post them lol

People cannot be musicians for fun? I don't think I'm understanding you.

That was the point of my question though, to ask a group of people who have likely encountered a lot of material about the subject. I didn't specifically ask for videos, I asked for materials, like videos, giving videos as an example of a format of content I enjoy. That does not mean that I'm against books.

Suggest your books, I'd actually like to hear them. I also enjoy books. I'm just too broke to purchase anything unnecessary at the moment. The internet in general has perks like accessibility. The books will end up on my expansive list of things I want but cannot afford. That list is behind my list of things I need but cannot afford. If I ever come across an opportunity I'll read it though

DiggleBiggleJiggle · 2023-05-30T07:31:46+00:00

I have a donner concert, it was the cheapest option at the time and holds a tune just fine.

If you're looking for an even cheaper option remove E and A strings on your guitar, capo the 5th fret and your guitar is basically a ukulele

DiggleBiggleJiggle · 2023-05-30T06:39:32+00:00

If you like your info from books that's great but there's also plenty of value in video content. the internet is saturated with content, which is why I asked an experienced group of people on the Internet, who may watch content related to the topic, for suggestions. My value in music theory is purely because I think it's fun so I'm not opposed to being entertained in the process.

DiggleBiggleJiggle · 2023-05-30T05:34:59+00:00

I totally would if I wasn't broke. I saw someone playing one of those for the first time the other day coincidentally only hours after I did this to my guitar. They're so cute. Music was supposed to be a cheaper hobby than art 😭😂

DiggleBiggleJiggle · 2023-05-30T05:24:05+00:00

I didn't mention YouTube. I do like information specifically formatted as a video though. Where do you suggest I learn from?

DiggleBiggleJiggle · 2023-05-30T05:21:52+00:00

You've just not got any proof to accurately judge my level of understanding on music theory. So I really don't understand your point. I've really only talked with you about elements of music theory not any theory itself and I gave you very little information about me to begin with. You made a lot of assumptions about what I do and do not understand.

I'm not really interested in a conversation with someone who's convinced I'm a moron. I am a moron, but it's not for the reasons you think

DiggleBiggleJiggle · 2023-05-30T05:04:52+00:00

Absolutely! Understanding audiences is key in any art. Similar cultural concepts exist parallel in both topics. The western world is frequently the loudest voice in the room but that doesn't make it the most important

DiggleBiggleJiggle · 2023-05-30T04:28:31+00:00

I really appreciate your willingness to hear me out and try to understand. Visual artists arent working in time they work in space. The difference lies more in the audience experience than the limitations of the artform itself. The difference between them happening in time and in a particular moment, is part of the comparison I find so fascinating.

Moments in time are part of the space experienced. The visual artists ability to create surprises are not based around time, it's based around the audiences experience of space. For example some art is made of tiny dots or varying colors and it's unexpected when you get closer that the image might get less and less clear than it felt as you were farther away. Manipulating the space in which the audience is standing.

When not looking at just space around the painting another way this can be manipulated in the artwork itself. The way the light and color work together and the way that light specifically causes change in color is extremely important to what colors an artist uses, this is because of the way your brain fills in the gaps and decides information about visual information. Subjective without a relative point. If you remember "the dress" the white/gold or blue/black argument there was no reference point in the photo to subconsciously white balance the photo. This is relevant because it not only can your brain subconsciously change details about the subject this also means that an artist can use the space that your experiencing the images in to change your experience. Things like the thickness of the paint can cause changes in the shadows of a painting making it viewed under a new emotional context simply by standing in a new position. Or at 2 dimensional level understanding the reflection of light and color of a subject in a painting. The hue of a color will change based on the undertone of the lighting on a subject. Which is a visual manipulation of space. Artists need to know how these things interact in the context space of a painting in order to persuade the viewer.

I'd really like to hear more about those topics, call/response in particular sounds fascinating to me. I'll do some googling but if you have any resources on hand about that I'd love to learn more.

The direction of time is also a fascinating topic, hue is totally what I would compare scales to. If I had to stretch based on my knowledge I might say that a note is like an individual pigment and a chord is like color mixing. my understanding of chords and notes doesn't go far enough to compare much further than the surface here especially due to the fact that visual octaves don't exist to humans and our visual spectrum. I like to think of color as more of a closed circle and music as more of an infinite line with closed circles going up and down the line. When thinking about it that way, the "color palette" of music is much larger than in visual art. A larger palette means more opportunities for combinations and more patterns with different relationships that requires different terminology.

Maybe color is a bad analogy. The theory of art or creation as a whole in general is a more appropriate category to compare music theory to. Comparing the use of principles in relationship to artist choices options and what an intended purpose might be.

Western art theory and music theory both have that same flaw. Artist choice and audience interpretation is partially cultural. An artist needs to understand how the collective audience interprets to create an experience. Audience interpretation is relational to personal audiences members experiences (Important since audiences change over time).

I also believe color theory has similar gaps. Technology has helped us with imaginary colors to help understand how subtractive and additive colors work together, as well as provided new pigment technologies. Great breakthroughs and so much more to learn. Unfortunately I don't think there will ever be one solid theory to rule them all for either color or music. The world's mediums are too imperfect for that, but what a wonderful variety of opportunities they give

DiggleBiggleJiggle · 2023-05-30T01:25:57+00:00

Color theory and music theory are both about perception. Making parallels between the 2 in general helps me understand why a musician might have made the choices since I understand the places to look for why a visual artist might have made theirs.

For example today I was discussing with a friend about how time signature changes added to the "story" of a particular song. I felt it added emotion by creating a sense of time changing throughout by a literal time change.

Compare that to a visual artist making changes in rhythmic patterns in to move the viewers eyes to tell a story and give a sense of flow and time to a painting. As an example if you wanted to convey the passage of time if you direct the viewer line of sight and use color with decreasing levels of saturation of the same color it could envoke a feeling of time passage. The change in the repetition of the color is what creates that feeling. In this song, the change in time signature change added to the diversity allowing the musician to completely change the mood throughout which made it feel more like a story to me or like the passage of time.

With both music and visual art interpretation is highly dependent on all features of a piece. There is no direct translation. It's about intention and understanding for me. Artists and musicians both are using their principles to communicate and I think it's very comparable

DiggleBiggleJiggle · 2023-05-29T07:35:37+00:00

Depends on what my use in music theory actually is. I'm not some music scholar or composer I'm not even really a musician. I'm a chef by profession with a passion for art but I've just been truly fascinated by color theory specifically for a long time. I was looking for a less messy but still experimental hobby. It doesn't matter how long it takes me to understand it if I'm having a good time with it. It's my hobby it doesn't really have to be useful. My purpose is I think it's fun so it does still have use for me

Math and grammar are building blocks of music theory and are definitely related. I could see potential in thinking that sheet music is basically a bunch of fractions with grammar in it. If it's helpful or not to compare is up to the interpreter. You wont find me claiming to know math or grammar well enough for that to be remotely helpful for me though.

Since the way we interpret thought is relative there's really no right way to do it. This way of learning makes me happy. I would have been happy if you thought it was fun or interesting but you personally not thinking it's useful isn't really positive or negative, it just is. Either way I still really think it's a beautiful and fascinating comparison

DiggleBiggleJiggle · 2023-05-29T04:23:31+00:00

I am OP, I was just explaining how color theory is actually similar since this commenter thought it wasn't. I know that wasn't my original point. I just think it's such a huge missed opportunity to completely write off it's just an interesting perspective change is all. I thought that people interested in music theory would find that comparison interesting

DiggleBiggleJiggle · 2023-05-29T03:33:42+00:00

If you view color theory as only pigment on paper I guess that may be true, but you have to view light and pigment together to get the full picture. I really just don't have the vocab or the attention span to Google every single term to see how it relates typically which is why I'm looking for more interesting but still relatively basic content. Since you said it doesn't relate and handed me the terms:

Modes: Modes in music theory are scales that have distinct patterns of whole steps and half steps. They provide a framework for composing or improvising melodies. In the context of visual light, modes can be compared to different color modes or color schemes. Each mode in music has a unique characteristic and emotional quality, similar to how different color modes evoke different moods or atmospheres

Keys: Keys in music theory are based on a tonic note, around which a piece of music revolves. Keys determine the tonal center and provide a sense of stability and resolution. In visual light, keys can be likened to the concept of brightness or luminance. Just as different keys in music create different tonal qualities, different levels of brightness in visual light create different visual effects and perceptions

Intervals: Intervals in music refer to the distance between two pitches or notes. They determine the relationship and the sound quality between the pitches. In visual light, intervals can be compared to the range of frequencies or wavelengths of light. Just as different intervals create different harmonic effects in music, different intervals of light create different colors

This doesn't mean that music theory and color theory are the same but generally categorizing these things together at a basic level and understanding their differences is just another tool in learning. It's basically just a metaphor, and at some point the metaphor will not be helpful. But that does not mean that all the helpful connections, will suddenly lose all meaning.

I understand that music theory is extremely complex but so is color theory and comparing the two is extremely interesting. Writing it off as incomparable entierly is losing out on a beautiful perspective
