Teenage Engineering gets choral with ensemble of singing wooden
dolls
By Paul Ridden
November 14, 2022
The first project from Sweden's Teenage Engineering was an art
installation in 2007 comprising 22 wooden dolls that formed a
singing ensemble. The absolut choir has now inspired the creation
of a smaller collection that can voice a bunch of classic songs
or original creations with the help of MIDI hardware.
The Teenage Engineering Choir features eight shapely members
fashioned from polished beech, each with a Bluetooth-enabled
speaker module inside and a four-hour per-charge battery, though
if users only have one 10-minute concert per day, it could last a
month between top-ups.
The group is designed to represent "cultures and characters from
across the world" and every member of the choir has its own
voicing. There's an Italian-flavored baritone, mezzo sopranos
given German and Egyptian styling, a bass Cossack, an alto from
the Netherlands, a Japanese tenor, a kind of Matryoshka doll
contralto, and a soprano from Palestine.
The overall effect is similar to Google's marvelous Blob Opera
from 2020, though with real-world objects instead of
browser-based visuals. The choir is sure to be a conversation
piece at parties but at US$249 for each member you're looking at
almost $2,000 for a complete set (though some members are already
shown as sold out).
Teenage Engineering has preloaded the dolls with a collection of
22 "choral classics" across a "repertoire spanning baroque to
folk" to serenade the owner as a solo act or as a melodic
ensemble – when two or more dolls are placed near each other,
they wirelessly communicate and automatically adjust the
performance accordingly. A built-in accelerometer allows for
playback control with a tap, and volume adjustment by tilting a
doll left or right.
Should the listener get bored with the limited number of songs
programmed in, the choir can be made to sing original
compositions via the company's OP-1 field or OP-Z synthesizers,
or via any Bluetooth MIDI keyboard.

From AFP via Phys.org:
Why go back to the Moon?
by Lucie Aubourg
November 14, 2022
On September 12, 1962, then US president John F. Kennedy informed
the public of his plan to put a man on the Moon by the end of the
decade.
It was the height of the Cold War and America needed a big
victory to demonstrate its space superiority after the Soviet
Union had launched the first satellite and put the first man in
orbit.
"We choose to go to the Moon," Kennedy told 40,000 people at Rice
University, "because that challenge is one that we are willing to
accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend
to win."
Sixty years on, the United States is about to launch the first
mission of its return program to the Moon, Artemis. But why
repeat what has already been done?
Criticism has risen in recent years, for example from Apollo 11
astronaut Michael Collins, and the Mars Society founder Robert
Zubrin, who have long advocated for America to go directly to
Mars.
But NASA argues re-conquering the Moon is a must before a trip to
the Red Planet. Here's why.
Long space missions
NASA wants to develop a sustainable human presence on the Moon,
with missions lasting several weeks –- compared to just a few
days for Apollo.
The goal: to better understand how to prepare for a multi-year
round trip to Mars.
In deep space, radiation is much more intense and poses a real
threat to health.
Low Earth Orbit, where the International Space Station (ISS)
operates, is partly shielded from radiation by the Earth's
magnetic field, which isn't the case on the Moon.
From the first Artemis mission, many experiments are planned to
study the impact of this radiation on living organisms, and to
assess the effectiveness of an anti-radiation vest.
What's more, while the ISS can often be resupplied, trips to the
Moon—a thousand times further—are much more complex.
To avoid having to take everything with them, and to save costs,
NASA wants to learn how to use the resources present on the
surface.
In particular, water in the form of ice, which has been confirmed
to exist on the lunar south pole, could be transformed into
rocket fuel by cracking it into its separate hydrogen and oxygen
atoms.
Testing new gear
NASA also wants to test on the Moon the technologies that will
continue to evolve for a mission to Mars. First, new spacesuits
for spacewalks.
Their design was entrusted to the company Axiom Space for the
first crewed mission to the Moon, in 2025 at the earliest.
Other needs: vehicles - both pressurized and unpressurized - so
that the astronauts can move around, as well as a fixed habitat
at the lunar base camp.
Finally, for sustainable access to an energy source, NASA is
working on the development of portable nuclear fission systems.
Solving any problems that arise will be much easier on the Moon,
only a few days away, than on Mars, which can only be reached
after at least several months of voyage.
Establishing a waypoint
A major pillar of the Artemis program is the construction of a
space station in orbit around the Moon, called Gateway, which
will serve as a relay before the trip to Mars.
All the necessary equipment can be sent there in "multiple
launches," before finally being joined by the crew to set off on
the long voyage, Sean Fuller, responsible for the Gateway
program, told AFP.
"Kind of like you're stopping at your gas station to make sure
you get all the stuff, and then you're off on your way."
Maintaining leadership over China
Apart from Mars, another reason put forward by the Americans for
settling on the Moon is to do so before the Chinese, who plan to
send taikonauts by the year 2030.
China is the United States' main competition today as the once
proud Russian space program has withered.
"We don't want China suddenly getting there and saying, "This is
our exclusive territory,'" NASA boss Bill Nelson said in a recent
interview.
For the sake of science
While the Apollo missions brought back to Earth nearly 400
kilograms of lunar rock, new samples will make it possible to
further deepen our knowledge of this celestial object and its
formation.
"The samples that we collected during the Apollo missions changed
the way we view our solar system," astronaut Jessica Meir told
AFP. "I think we can expect that from the Artemis program as
well."
She expects further scientific and technological breakthroughs
too, just like during the Apollo era.
