Synth Riff Morning Jams
This series of jams will start with a synth riff or figure of some kind. This time it is a Zebra 2 patch called "HS Rhode Lady." I put bass on with my Rondo Douglass Violin bass and discovered that the bridge pickup is dead. I will have to take that apart to see what is going on. Fortunately, the neck pickup sounds good.

Quantifying the Active Galactic Nuclei Fraction in Cosmic Voids via Mid-Infrared Variability
Observations and theoretical simulations suggest that the large scale environment plays a significant role in how galaxies form and evolve and, in particular, whether and when galaxies host an actively accreting supermassive black hole in their center (i.e., an Active Galactic Nucleus, or AGN). One signature of AGN activity is luminosity variability, which appears in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) when circumnuclear dust reprocesses UV and optical photons from the AGN accretion disk. We present here…
