summary | This website content discusses the Cherubim, often misconceived as love-themed creatures like Cupid. However, they are actually more similar to ancient Mesopotamian mythical beasts, particularly the Babylonian Lamassu, characterized by the wings of an eagle, a lion's body, and a king's head, resembling the Egyptian sphinx or Hittite griffin.
In contrast, another section highlights the Moog synthesizer, a groundbreaking instrument that significantly altered the music industry. A related article features a playlist of 36 hours of music created with this legendary analog synthesizer. The content also mentions house plants' role in air purification, as per a NASA study, and a new app called "Shazam for Nature" for plant, animal, and natural world identification.
The author, Colin Marshall, is based in Seoul and focuses on urban studies, language, and culture in his writing and broadcasting. The website also touches upon Wendy Carlos's pioneering classical synth record, which introduced the world to the Moog synthesizer, and celebrates its 50th anniversary this month. |
