= Teminite =

Sam Norris, better known as Teminite, is a British electronic musician.

Career
Norris lived in North Devon, in the UK, for most of his childhood. His dad started teaching him piano since he was 4 and, later, Norris started playing saxophone and joined some local bands and orchestras. At 13 years old, Norris started getting into producing electronic music. He started releasing music as Teminite in 2012. His biggest inspiration is Skrillex, which made him "[fall] in love with dubstep". In 2014, he released the EP Elevate. A year later, he released "Highscore" with Panda Eyes.

In June 2017, Norris released "Lion's Den" with PsoGnar. In 2018, he was studying Jazz at the Leeds College of Music. In September, he released a live video of the song "State of Mind" from his then-upcoming album Uprising. After releasing single "Make Me" with Said, the album was released on November 16th. The album blends dubstep and jazz.

Development
(The following paragraph is taken from the Rift Apart article)

Intrigued by the concept of different choices, outcomes and circumstances shaping the trajectory of one's life, the idea of Rivet was born in tandem with the exploration of the alternate universe setting in the franchise. Lead writer Lauren Mee, and lead animator, Lindsay Thompson, were very interested in a new character that would have their own perspective, and survival instincts embodied by their given circumstances in a darker universe. Thompson described Rivet as having a "tough exterior and perceived coolness, she’s never cynical, dark or cruel. Sure, she might not know the best way to act in a social situation, but she sure as hell isn’t shy." Smith noted that the team were interested in representing complexity and nuance with parallel counterparts of characters, citing the importance of not depicting characters like Rivet as a "one dimensional" antithesis to their counterparts in every way. Mee stressed that it was important that Rivet's lived experiences have not left her jaded, as though she comes with her own struggles, they have not robbed the hope she has in saving her universe against the forces of Emperor Nefarious. Following the creation of Rivet, several auditions were held to find the right voice for the character. The studio later recruited voice actress, Jennifer Hale, who previously voiced the female Commander Shepard in the Mass Effect series.

= Fireplace for Your Home = Fireplace for Your Home is a series of yule log burning videos created by George Ford.

Films
The Fireplace for Your Home series depict

The following films are streaming on Netflix.
 * Fireplace for Your Home
 * Fireplace for Your Home: Classic Edition
 * Fireplace for Your Home: Birchwood Edition

Additionally, the official Fireplace for Your Home website includes other films and sells them in DVD and Blu-Ray formats. Ford said

Background and release
The Fireplace for Your Home series was created by George Ford, the founder of Pet Media Plus, based in Longview, Washington. He got the idea for the first film after filming a DVD called Adventure Cat: "It’s a television video for cats to keep them busy, and all these mice were running around and I thought, 'I’m like a reality filmmaker for rodents.' It got me thinking about what else I could capture." He was inspired by the WPIX program Yule Log, which aired in the 1960s.

Reception
Reviewing fireplace videos, Drew Prindle of Digital Trends gave the original Fireplace for Your Home a 7/10 rating, the Classic Edition a 10/10 rating and the Birchwood Edition an "11/10" rating, descrining the latter as a magnum opus and George Ford as "legendary".

 * less specific:

Songs
The album has lengthy tracks; eight of the ten songs on the album exceed the five-minute mark, and many of them get close to 10 minutes of duration. Parannoul organized the tracklist as if it was a live album. The opening track is "Beautiful World", which begins with a sample of All About Lily Chou-Chou and resembles My Bloody Valentine's "Only Shallow", according to Jang. Cohen felt that the lyrics "I wish no one had seen my miserable self / I wish no one had seen my numerous failures / I wish my young and stupid days to disappear forever" was melodramatic and exemplified that the album was "not an antidote to its creator's paralyzing misery, but a monument that honors its enormity". Elle Palmer of Far Out Magazine felt the song "combines bleeping tones with caustic interludes of noise".

= Skrillex = Cinema (Skrillex remix)

"Cinema" is a remix by Skrillex of Benny Benassi's song of the same name featuring Gary Go. It featured on Benassi's album Electroman along with the original.

Reception
In 2012, Skrillex won a Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording for the song.

In 2015, Spin named it the 34th greatest electronic dance music (EDM) anthem of the first half of the 2010s. In 2016, Kat Bein named it the third best song in Skrillex's discography at the time. In 2017, Spin named it one of the "Best EDM Songs You've Heard at Every Summer Festival" at number 37. In 2019, Billboard staff considered it the 27th greatest dance song of the decade.

= Music of Celeste (video game) =
 * As of now, content of this draft is mostly taken from Celeste (video game); check its history for attribution.



The music for the 2018 video game Celeste, developed and published by indie studio Maddy Makes Games, was primarily composed by Lena Raine.

Conception
Lena Raine composed the majority of Celeste's soundtrack, with additional composers providing remixes of Raine's score for most of the B-side levels. Raine's score informed the visual design for certain levels. Sound designer Kevin Regamey incorporated sound effects into the music to further match gameplay, after which Raine would contribute further "musical ambience".

Specific sounds in the music of Celeste were designed to match certain themes. According to Raine, "In The Mirror" was one of the strangest tracks she has composed. Its synthesizer-heavy sequences, noted by Raine to be reminiscent of Vangelis and Blade Runner (1982), were designed to match the "cosmic horrors" experienced by Madeline. In "Resurrections", she created an "othering" sound that transitioned from the more simple melodic progression of "First Steps", and an "etherial sound evocative of a space that didn't seem quite real", as the song would play during a lucid dream sequence. "In the Mirror" includes vocals performed by Raine as Madeline's internal dialogue, reversed due to the theming of mirrors. When developing the song, she wanted there to be a sound nearly unintelligible and spoken in the background. She decided to record herself in a dark closet, attempting to vocalize what she related to in Madeline's struggles. According to Raine, she tries to "inject some part" of herself into her musical projects.

Each character in Celeste is represented by their own instrument. Madeline is represented by a piano, Badeline is represented by a synthesizer, Theo is represented by guitar, and Oshiro is represented by a "theremin-like" synthesizer. Granny is an exception, as, according to Raine, "she embodies the power of the mountain and is a fairly omnipresent figure". Badeline's theme, a motif that first appears in "Resurrections" and later reappears in several other tracks, is written entirely in minor key, in contrast to Madeline's, which is "primarily cheery" and only occasionally transitions into a minor key. In the song "Anxiety", Raine attempted to capture the feeling of a panic attack and made the piano theme representative of Madeline be "engulfed" by the synthesizer representative of Badeline.

Raine returned to compose the soundtrack for Farewell.

Release
In October 2018, Scarlet Moon Records announced Prescriptions for Sleep: Celeste, an album of Celeste cover songs described by Nintendo Life as "lullaby-style renditions" of the game's soundtrack. Prescriptions for Sleep: Celeste features violin by Maiko, saxophone by Norihiko Hibino, and piano by AYAKI, with Raine serving as co-producer. On January 21, 2019, it was announced that the game's soundtrack would receive an album of piano covers by Trevor Alan Gomes, titled Celeste Piano Collections, a part of the Piano Collections series by Materia Collective, released on January 25. In July, Materia Collective purchased the publishing rights for the music, and the composers of the game's B-side music went without royalties for 17 months.

Reception
In reviews of Celeste, several critics lauded it as among the best video game soundtracks,  and others appreciated how it complimented the gameplay. IGN said that it added an "amazing amount of life" to each area, and Kotaku said that "Anxiety" in particularly captured "the feeling of true anxiety". Reviewers felt that it remained enjoyable to listen to even after extended periods of time, and certain aspects of the music were praised, such as the synthesizer or piano portions. Critics also appreciated the remixes of songs present in the B-side levels, with Nintendo World Report saying they were "just as magnificent" as the rest of the music.

Farewell's music was praised by Kotaku, who said it was "fantastic", and that the world as a whole was "charming".

It has been named one of the best video game soundtracks of all time by multiple publications.

Accolades
Celeste received the following music-related accolades.

Background and composition
Porter Robinson was initially known for his electro and complextro music, such as the 2010 single "Say My Name" and the 2011 extended play Spitfire. Across 2012, Robinson performed at major electronic dance music (EDM) festivals, but gradually became dissatisfied with the genre. He reported experiencing "four or five fully-blown anxiety attacks onstage" that year, yelling "dance music is terrible" at one of his shows. Following the release of his single "Language" (2012), Robinson set out to write an album he felt was "beautiful and emotional".

"Divinity" was one of the first songs written for Worlds, and Robinson chose it as the opening track of the album due to its sound, which he believed to be "very [him]" and representative of the album. A distorted sound, a "boys choir type sound that [he] was messing with", works as the main instrument of the track. The instrumental existed before Amy Millan was featured on the track. Millan is the vocalist of Stars, a band that connects to Robinson's emotional adolescent years.

Release and reception
On August 5, 2014, during NPR pre-release of Worlds, they chose it as part of their "Songs We Love" list. Scott Greene of Your EDM stated that the song "serves as a great introduction to the overall concept of the album". Tatiana Cirisano of Billboard wrote that there is a large contrast between the intro and chorus; while the former contains "underwater-sounding", smooth vocals, the latter contains a "cacophony" of cymbals and glitch-like sounds reminiscent of video games. Barry Walters of Wondering Sound said that it features common characteristics of EDM, such as a powerful beat, dense layers of synthesizers, and an airy female vocal, while Elissa Stolman of Vice described the track as an indie-electronic "festival rave anthem", with synths that resembled M83's "Midnight City" (2011). Alternatively, Rupert Howe of Q found similarities to electronica and M83-like space rock. Derek Staples of Consequence of Sound declared that the "ethereal electro vibes" of "Divinity" "evoke images of a Glitch Mob/The M Machine collaboration".

It charted at 35 on Billboard Hot Dance/Electronic Songs and certified gold in the United States. In 2015, the song was remixed by Odesza and included in Worlds Remixed. Billboard critics chose the song as the 6th best of Porter Robinson, in 2017. In 2018, it was remixed by Rezz. Robinson played the song in 2021 at Secret Sky.

Background
On April 8, 2019, Jair Bolsonaro announced on his Twitter that Abraham Weintraub would succeed Ricardo Vélez Rodríguez as Brazil's Minister of Education (MEC). A Portuguese Wikipedia page for Weintraub was created about three hours later.

On June 27, the Ministry of Education sent the Portuguese Wikipedia administrator "Chronus" an email asking for Weintraub's article to be deleted.

On August 13, the Ministry of Education sent a new email, now to the Portuguese Wikipedia administrator Rodrigo Padula, saying that they would enviou um novo e-mail afirmando que tomaria "medidas judiciais cabíveis" caso a proteção que foi instaurada no seu artigo da Wikipédia não fosse remo
