    THE MIKE GORMLEY SHOW - Featuring Ira Ingber & Steve Bartek

    Listen in while Mike Gormley catches up with his friends Ira Ingber and Steve Bartek and listens to tunes from their new band, “Baring All.”

    Steve Bartek and Ira Ingber are BarIng All. Conceived, developed, and inspired by their shared desires to journey on musical roads less traveled, their ever-growing body of work surprises, challenges and ultimately rewards the listener.

    With countless years of both recording and live performances as individuals or together in such musically diverse contexts as Bob Dylan, Oingo Boingo, Brian Wilson, Captain Beefheart, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Frank Sinatra (to name a few), Steve and Ira communicate nearly telepathically. Oftentimes it truly is telepathy. This happens not only when they play guitars together, but when composing and mixing their BarIng All pieces as well.

  • Home Automation Panel Looks IndustrialModern tech is great, but we have to admit that we sometimes miss when electronic things looked complicated. A modern computer looks dull compared to, say, an IBM 360. Control rooms now look no different than a stock trading room, instead of being full of indicators, knobs, and buzzers. [BorisDigital] must have some of those same feelings. He built a very cool control panel for his Home Assistant setup. He based it somewhat on a jet cockpit and a little on a nuclear plant control room, and the result, as you can see in the video below, is great.
    This is less of a how-to video and more of an inspirational one. After all, you won’t have the same setup, but there are many details about how it was constructed with a Raspberry Pi, 3D printing, and control of the Home Assistant via web services.

    You might point out that you could put everything on a computer screen, but what fun is that? There is a touchscreen, so you do have some options. Normally, the panel hangs on the wall, but you can snap feet on to rest the panel on a desk or table.
    The panel has about 50 I/O devices, so a GPIO expander — actually several of them — was necessary. To make a nice-looking label, he fills in 3D-printed inset text with spackle. It isn’t perfect, but it looks good enough.

  • Iron Man Arc Reactor Clock Is A Stylish PieceIron Man was the film that kicked off the Marvel craze, and is widely regarded to be better than a lot of the movies that followed. If you’re a big fan of the OG, you’re probably already drowning in Iron Man helmets and arc reactor doo-dads, but here’s one more for you. After all, you probably don’t have an arc reactor clock yet.
    The build comes to us from [jerome95]. It starts with an off-the-shelf ring of addressable LEDs, which serves as the basic defining dimension for the project. The ring gets a 3D printed support structure and some non-functional copper coils to complete the basic “arc reactor” look. Inside the center sits a small 7-segment display which displays the time under the command of an ESP32. It uses a network time server so it’s always on the dot.  Meanwhile, if you’re not a fan of the 7-segment version, you can always try the OLED variant of the build instead.
    It’s not a complicated build; that could have been easily achieved, though. The builder could have displayed the time by making the LEDs flash different colors, instead of using a 7-segment display. However, that would have made a far more confounding clock. As it is, this design would make an excellent gift for any Marvel fan. Particularly those that acknowledge the supremacy of the film that started it all.

  • Festival launches “IVF stage” to broadcast sets to sperm and eggsSweden’s Way Out West festival is hoping to nurture a new generation of fans – literally – as it launches an “IVF stage” where live recordings from its headliners will be broadcast to sperm and eggs in a clinic.
    Way Out West will take place in Gothenburg from 8-10 August this year, and will also host sets from Fred again…, Chase & Status, Peggy Gou and many more. There will also be a special show dedicated to the music of the late MF DOOM from Yasiin Bey.

    As reported by DJ Mag, the “world’s smallest, fully-functional stage” has been designed in collaboration with Love Hultén, and will play sets from some of its biggest acts. Cleverly named as the Future Fan Stage, it will be located off-site at Eliva IVF clinic in Stockholm, and has been created in response to studies that suggest music can improve IVF success rates.
    On its official website, Way Out West says of the new stage, “To stay relevant, new fans are crucial. New generations of fans are vital for keeping both artists and music festivals alive and kicking. This year, we’ve added an additional stage to help create future fans of great music by ‘injecting’ live recordings by the headlining artists into their DNA at the earliest stage possible – before they even develop into foetuses.”

    It adds, “In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a medical procedure that involves joining a woman’s egg and a man’s sperm in a laboratory dish. It helps millions get pregnant every year. Recent studies show that music improves the fertilisation rate during an IVF process.
    “So, in collaboration with renowned designer Love Hultén, we’ve created a unique, fully functional stage that will play live recordings from Way Out West’s headlining artists for what might be the largest, yet smallest crowd in history: Sperm and eggs getting ‘ready to rumble’ in laboratory.”

  • Group claims Ticketmaster breach is “far bigger than previously anticipated”, with 440,000 Taylor Swift tickets reportedly stolenThe Ticketmaster hack which occurred back in May is reportedly “far bigger” than initially thought.
    At the time, it was reported that hacker group ShinyHunters had illegally obtained 1.3 TB of customer data, affecting 560 million users. The data breach allegedly included “full names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, ticket sales and event details, order information, and partial payment card data.”

    ShinyHunters previously claimed it accepted a “rushed” ransom offer of $1 million from Live Nation – Ticketmaster’s Parent company – but now states that it has assessed the hacked data and revised its demands. Ticketmaster refutes any claim that it paid out any money to ShinyHunters.
    Cybersecurity outlet Hackread has shared screenshots taken from Breach Forums, where ShinyHunters shared an announcement on 4 July stating that it believed the data breach to be more valuable than originally thought, and that it has therefore risen its demand to $8 million.
    The group claims it has obtained 193 million ticket barcodes, valued at over $22.6 billion in total, including 440,000 tickets for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, plus 30 million more barcodes for 65,000 other events.
    The ShinyHunters statement suggests that instead of Swift performing on her tour, she will be “performing in front of Congress” and goes on to state, “We found out how to make way more expensive and insurance surely accepts this; we restart negotiations at $8M let the negotiator and insurance know.”
    On 6 July, Ticketmaster provided a statement regarding these claims to Hackread: “Ticketmaster’s SafeTix technology protects tickets by automatically refreshing a new and unique barcode every few seconds so it cannot be stolen or copied,” it begins.
    “This is just one of many fraud protections we implement to keep tickets safe and unassailable. Some outlets are inaccurately reporting about a ransom offer. We were never engaged for a ransom and did not offer them money.”
    As of 9 July, the BBC reports that it has seen emails sent by Ticketmaster to customers in North America warning them to take action. Emails were reportedly sent to Canadian customers, urging them to “be vigilant and take steps to protect against identity theft and fraud.” The outlet reports that Ticketmaster has not commented on the notification process, but says that similar emails have reportedly been sent to customers in the US and Mexico.
    MusicTech has contacted Ticketmaster for further clarification on these emails.
