Artist	Track	Album	Label	Year	Format	Comments	Images	New	Approx. start time
Source Vibrations	Galactic Heart - 528 Hz   → "Galactic Heart - 528 Hz" by "Source Vibrations"	Solfeggio Harmonics Vol. 2	Source Vibrations	2015		Known as the “love” frequency, the 528 Hz frequency is the most significant of the ancient Solfeggio Frequencies. It has a deep-rooted relationship with nature, and is present in everything from Chlorophyll to human DNA. It also supposedly has mathematical significance and proven healing potential. Dr. Leonard Horowitz notes that 528 Hz is central to everything in the universe and the “musical, mathematical matrix of creation”, including the air we breathe, the water we drink, the grass beneath our feet, and the sun’s rays on our face. Its vibrations connect and resonate with everything within us and around us, on both a material and spiritual level. / When Dr. Joseph Puleo researched the Latin meanings of the ancient “Mi” tone, 528 Hz, he found it described as: an extraordinary occurrence that surpasses all known human powers or natural forces and is ascribed to a divine or supernatural cause, esp. to God; & a superb or surpassing example of something; wonder, marvel. Perhaps that’s why the priests and healers of the most advanced civilizations of the ancient world were known to use 528 Hz to heal, to bless, and to manifest miracles. / One of the most famous songs composed in 528 Hz is John Lennon's "Imagine"			0:00:00 (Pop-up)

Seeding Sovereignty is an indigenous womxn led collective which seeks to dismantle colonial structures and policies in politics, agriculture, and justice. These songs were recorded on colonized land, and by donating to them Early seeks to undo some of the harm of colonial structures and, in a small way, offset some of the privilege from which they benefit in a colonized nation (seedingsovereignty.org)."

Devo	Whip It   → "Whip It" by "Devo"	Freedom Of Choice	Warner	1980		track co-written Gerald Casale & Mark Mothersbaugh / 3rd full-length album by Gerald Casale (bass), Mark Mothersbaugh (vocals; keyboards), Bob Casale (keyboards; guitar), and Bob Mothersbaugh (guitar) / "Whip It" was recorded using API mixing consoles, 3M tape machines, and Minimoog & Prophet-5 synthesizers. Throughout the song, there are whip-cracking noises that were recorded using an Electrocomp 500 synthesizer and Neumann KM 84 and U 87 microphones / Casale wrote the lyrics, which were intended to satirize American optimism & took inspiration from Communist propaganda posters and "Gravity's Rainbow" by Thomas Pynchon, a 1973 novel that contains satirical limericks about capitalist can-do clichés. Casale incorporated lyrics that would sound like motivational clichés if taken out of context. Mothersbaugh offered a different interpretation of the lyrics, saying they were written in the form of a subtle pep talk for US President Jimmy Carter during the 1980 presidential election. The members of Devo supported Carter and feared the Republican candidate Ronald Reagan would win the election. Mothersbaugh jokingly once said in an interview: "Come on Jimmy, get your shit together."			2:25:38 (Pop-up)

Andrey Vinogradov	Reverse Dance   → "Reverse Dance" by "Andrey Vinogradov"	Distant Calls: Music For the Hurdy Gurdy	Andrey Vinogradov	2020		Vinigradov was born in Ekaterinburg (Northern Ural) / Vinogradov plays modern hurdy-gurdy (viola) crafted by Wolfgang Weichselbaumer, Vienna / According to the "Oxford English Dictionary," the mid 18th century origin of the term hurdy-gurdy is onomatopoeic in origin, after the repetitive warble in pitch that characterizes instruments with solid wooden wheels that have warped due to changes in humidity or after the sound of the buzzing-bridge. Alternately, the term is thought to come from the Scottish and northern English term for uproar or disorder, hirdy-girdy; or from hurly-burly, an old English term for noise or commotion. The instrument is sometimes more descriptively called a wheel fiddle in English, but this term is rarely used among players of the instrument. Another possible derivation is from the Hungarian "hegedűs" (Slovenian variant "hrgadus") meaning a fiddle.		*	2:40:08 (Pop-up)
