A surprising pivot: actual correspondence from one resident of Daisy, Kentucky (pop. 109), interspersed with LS-Land’s fictionalized responses. The real letters discuss crop rotation and a missing cat named Fibonacci. The fictional replies discuss entropy and the heat-death of the universe. The dissonance is heartbreakingly funny.
With Daisies (15.525) , the editors have crafted an object that resists both digital speed and academic sluggishness. It cannot be skimmed. It demands you sit with the daisy’s banality until it becomes alien. In an era of climate grief and information overload, Issue 16’s fixation on a single weed—and a cryptic number—may seem like esoteric escapism. But read closely, and a sharper thesis emerges: precision as a form of care. To name a flower with a seven-digit code (15.525) is to refuse its reduction to decoration. It is to say: this thing has a frequency, a weight, a forgotten history. LS-Magazine-LS-Land-Issue-16-Daisies-15.525
A faux-technical manual with circuit diagrams, soil pH charts, and a cryptic ritual: “Place 15.525 grams of dried daisy petals into a brass bowl. Recite the 1932 radio broadcast of the last daisy merchant of Seine-Saint-Denis. Wait for the hum.” This section reads like a love child between William S. Burroughs and a permaculture zine.

A photo series by lensmith R.K. Thorne. Daisies superimposed over industrial accidents. A child’s hand holding a bloom, but the background shows a collapsing cooling tower. The effect is unsettling, not merely ironic. The accompanying essay, “Weed as Witness,” argues that the daisy—Eurocentric, over-discussed in Romantic poetry—becomes radical only when it refuses to symbolize innocence. The fictional replies discuss entropy and the heat-death
Ending on a radio-frequency transmission log, this section claims that at exactly 15.525 MHz, on clear nights, one can hear the “photosynthetic whisper” of daisy fields. Whether hoax or poetry, it includes a QR code (still active, leading to a 47-second loop of static and a woman humming “Greensleeves”). The LS-Land Aesthetic For the uninitiated, LS-Magazine has published LS-Land as a biannual “anti-geographic” journal since 2019. Each issue focuses on a specific plant or mineral, but Issue 16 feels different. There is no defined “LS-Land”—it is not a place on any map. Rather, LS-Land is a state of attention, a willingness to see the numinous in the overlooked.
Whether LS-Land returns for Issue 17 (rumored topic: “Dandelion Smoke, 0.003”) is unclear. For now, remains a shimmering artifact—a reminder that the smallest common flower, properly regarded, can contain a universe of resistance.
To hold a copy—or, more accurately, to load its elusive PDF from a forgotten corner of a private server—is to step into a pastoral fever dream. Issue 16 abandons the urban decay motifs of previous editions (Issue 14’s “Concrete Orchids,” Issue 15’s “Neon Worms”) for something far stranger: an exploration of Bellis perennis , the common daisy, but refracted through the lens of post-analog melancholy. Let us begin with the suffix: 15.525 . Long-time readers of LS-Land have debated its meaning for months. Some believe it is a geographic coordinate (15.525° N?), though that falls in the Atlantic Ocean off West Africa. Others suggest a timecode (15 minutes, 52.5 seconds), a chemical compound index, or a nod to a forgotten cathode-ray tube model.
guitarix is available in most todays Linux distributions. In 9 out of 10 cases there's no need to compile guitarix but to install it via software center or package management system of your preferred distribution. guitarix is supported by the following Linux flavours and all their derivates:
Development Repository
To get the bleeding edge development state of guitarix you have to clone our repository and build the source from there. Please note that this kind of installation isn't recommended for productive systems at all since this is the source code we're actually working on.
Creating free and open source software is fun on one hand but a huge amount of work on the other hand. Even though you're not a programmer perhaps you are willing to help this project in growing and getting better. In most cases FOSS is the success of a community, not a lonesome champion.
Documentation
One of the most essential parts of a successful program aside from the code is the documentation. One can never have enough from it, but first of all we need some basic work to be done. Contact us on Github if you're willing to help us out in this topic.
Presets
Another very essential part are factory presets shipped with the product. They need to meet a specific standard in quality like an equal output volume - ask us on Github if you want to contribute.
Demos
You are able to create high quality video and/or audio material? We're always deeply grateful for some cool demos presenting guitarix' capabilities and sound.
Bug Reports
Please file bug reports whenever you encounter a problem with our code. This helps a lot in providing something like quality management.
Patches
If you know how to handle code - we're always happy about Pull Requests!
