Have fun with Facebook Audio Captcha
More and more Websites using captchas for spam protection, small pictures with sequences of letters or some stuff looking like words, that the user have to read and write in a special text field. Sometimes this word pictures are really not easy to recognize, but to come over this problem an other “help” is given: A link to an Audiocaptcha, to let the user listen to an audiofile of the wanted words. Today I saw this link to an Audiocaptcha on facebook and today it was the very first time that I decide to test it, only out of curiosity I made my mouse click. For a special kind of “Help” the result really attracts attention. Hereby I declare that I have this original Facebook Audio Captcha only recorded and NOT further worked on or manipulated. Please listen:
Beethoven Romance op. 50 (Polidor 1925)
I was told by “coincidence” shortly before my father died end of March 2008 that my great-uncle Hans Thierfelder was a well-known, successful and important conductor. Within my family is transmitted, that among other things he conducted the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Bayreuth Festival during the 3rd Empire (although he himself was honest non-political and Buddhist). The generations of my family who knew more about it are unfortunately all died. As far as I find time I try to research what can be proven and documented yet. This morning I found the following article with free mp3-Download in a blog of a Netherlands lover of old shellac discs (78 rpm):
Ludwig van Beethoven: Romance for violin und orchestra in F op.50

Polydor 69794 (B 27597/8) 869/70 az
Length: 9:04 Record from 1925
Interferences, Light & Music
The title and the composition “Interferences of Inner Voices“, which is inspired by Marco Bischof’s lecture “Biophotons – the light in our cells“, premiered on January 21st 2011 in Munster and was performed by the aXoloT trio.
This apparently is not the only reason why light and life are inseparable from each other in physical terms, but they also relate to the quantum physics of reality according to the same laws that are applied to acoustics.
Interference forms the basic mechanism of morphogenesis, and since everything is energy and vibration it can be applied not only to the construction of matter, but also to be understood as an universal regularity.
The book offers a fascinating discourse that positions the quantitative power of thinking against the wisdom of nonviolence.
Efficiency, targeted and economical use of resources, minimalism, the invisible power of what is the right place in the right time, informal classification of the parts into a whole, cooperation and coherence – with these concepts, scientists tune their ears to heart and life and let nature speak for itself, rather than limiting themselves with unrealistic concepts.
“The quantum theory describes light and matter as the music of a hidden non-physical instrument” (Bodo Hamprecht)
