I must be the last person to discover this, but last night totally changed the way I play #gt7 on #psvr2.

I normally play with a full car/race hud, apex markers and braking warnings turned on, and all car labels enabled (basically the defaults, without the racing line marker)

Well, going around Bathurst at night, I wondered what it'd be like without all that stuff. Answer: wonderful, you should try it!

I wish there was a quick way to toggle the race/car hud on/off, maybe in #gt8 #polyphony ?

A beautiful portrait of the woman from Zlaty Kun, Czechia, 45,000 years ago by Tom Bjorklund. Her genome is one of the oldest analysed of Homo sapiens. She was a young woman with dark skin, black hair, deep brown eyes.

And very cognate polyphonic style we find in #Georgia

Here an example of the well known #TrioMandili - normally with secular music, but here with a piece of traditional sacral polyphony from Georgia:

Trio Mandili - Psalm 50
:invidious:​ inv.n8pjl.ca/watch?v=BcbKoY7Xp
youtu.be/BcbKoY7XpJE

Trio Mandili | InvidiousTrio Mandili - Psalm 50- Psalm 50 - Translation from Aramaic A psalm of David Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy kindness: According to the abundance of thy mercies, blot out my transgressions. Wash me thorughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in thy sight: So that You are justified when You speak, And blameless when You judge. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, And in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy kindness: According to the abundance of thy mercies, blot out my transgressions. *** Music: Padre Seraphim Bit-Kharib

#PolyphonicChant
One chant I love to hear at the end of a day, to become calm and to feel peace in my heart.

From Corsica the ensemble L'Alba with the piece Sta Mane
:invidious:​ inv.n8pjl.ca/watch?v=acakG5_Fy
youtu.be/acakG5_FyDs

Cultura di Corsica | InvidiousL'Alba - Sta Mane (polyphony from Corsica)Sta mane (This morning) Sta mane un diu hè falatu à fà e so parte à u mondu terranu, S'hè scusatu è hà pientu, Hà fattu casu pè una volta à a ghjente L'hà guardata è intesa, Trascambiata, sfarente. Un diu hà postu u so pede pè vede, Sangue di l'universu si perde Un diu di stu cunfrontu à u statu di l'omu, hà capitu digià Di u mortu di u mondu u scheletru hè rosu Cundannatu à sciappà A u nentru, nentru di sè, à prufondu. Da u pesu di tantu tempu persu, inanzu, À dà solu parolle Un diu s'hè rinicatu Cum'hè un omu inchjusu Ind'è l'universu chì more Stamane un diu s'hè tombu È nimu, nimu, n'hè stunatu /This morning, a god came down to earth he apologized and cried He paid attention to people He watched them and listened transformed, different A god put his foot to see The blood of the universe is lost A god of this magnitude is in the state of man He already understood From the dead world the skeleton is pink Sentenced to break inside, in depth By the weight of time lost before, giving only words In the universe that dies this morning a god killed himself And nobody is surprised
