Why Airdrift⏚Sign⍲ls ?
What’s up with the weird typography?
Symbolism is everywhere, and AirdriftSignals is no different.
I conceived this website as a tribute to my love of music and love of writing, the latter of which always sets out to convey that which is universal or fails to convey that which is beyond comprehension. Written language is so fascinating for this reason, because our language falls short of many ideas and experiences, but we try our best to convey them with words.
Airdrift is a combined word made up of the words Air and Drift. From a purely visual standpoint, both words signify something in the air that is moving and fluid. From a web perspective, it works to locate my platform easily on search engines, whereas Air and Drift when entered separately create a long list of unrelated results, mostly concerning topics of aerospace.
The ⏚ symbol is the Earth Ground symbol, which is used for signal grounding, electronics, audio equipment, electrical engineering, and transmissions. Literally, it is essential for electronic transmissions and audio signals, while figuratively it evokes the feeling of being grounded, whether that be mentally, physically, emotionally, or spiritually. This makes the Earth Ground interconnected to the words that come before and after it.
Sign⍲ls is the next logical word that would come after a symbol visualizing components being grounded for electronics and audio. Sending transmissions have historically required a grounding source, and signals have to travel through the air. Sometimes though, signals are lost, and are caught drifting through large expanses of Space.
The ⍲ is a Boolean (true or false) logical operator, also called NAND, which is one of the core logic operators of digital electronics and computer circuits. NAND is the only logic operator that can build all other logic gates without any other operator, which makes ⍲ “functionally complete” and a foundational symbol for computing and electronics. It also doesn’t hurt that its line connecting its A frame has the same curvature as a wavelength or signal wave, or more fittingly, an audio wave.
Altogether, Airdrift⏚Sign⍲ls is a place to discover and read about some of the best music around, irrespective of style or era, all on a premium website that is free from ads. I want to give my fellow music fans and readers a “functionally complete” experience that leaves no stone unturned, and if you’ve made it this far, I want to thank you for taking the time to learn more about my website.
