Rising Gen Z Pop Singer Turns Out to Be Middle Aged Man After Release of Album Titled “Fake Girl”

Futurism | neutral | Published: 07:03 Sep 06, 2026 (Eastern)

An exposé published by music journalist Shawn Reynaldo in his newsletter First Floor revealed that the rising Gen Z indie musician Betty Hammerschlag is actually the creation of 45-year-old (or older) German musician Tilman Hornig. Hammerschlag's persona, which used images of women and a Gen Sv-styled writing persona, deceived fans, music critics, collaborators, and record labels such as blush. Hornig went to extensive lengths to maintain the charade through private messages, avoiding live interviews, and reportedly deploying impersonators for live shows and utilizing AI-generated promotional text.

How Sound Could Make Sense of Big Data

IEEE Computing | neutral | Published: 09:00 Sep 06, 2026 (Eastern)

Stephen Roddy, a researcher, lecturer, and musician at University College Cork, discusses the practice of data sonification—transforming numeric data into sound—and its growing importance for interpreting complex, large-scale datasets. In an interview with IEEE Spectrum, Roddy explains that sonification utilizes the human ear's ability to act as a parallel processor, making it useful when visual attention is directed elsewhere, when traditional graphing fails, or when navigating noisy and multidimensional data. He outlines the history of sonification from medieval church bells and 19th-century telegraph registers to modern applications, while noting that the method is experiencing a resurgence due to skyrocketing data volumes in fields like space and biological sciences. Roddy details common sonification techniques such as audification and Parameter-Mapping Sonification (PMSon), provides examples of their use in astronomy, medicine, and genetics, and shares his own research involving network dashboards and smart city data. Furthermore, he anticipates that the arrival of 6G and the development of the 'Internet of Sounds' will make sonification an essential tool for understanding complex data networks.
