View the Redux Book Here
1 Photo: Alex Hurst REDUX This Redux box set is on the 30 Hertz Records label, which I started in 1997. Many of the tracks on this box set originated on 30 Hertz. I did have a label in the early eighties called Lago, on which I released some of my first solo records. These were re-released on 30 Hertz Records in the early noughties. 30 Hertz Records was formed in order to give me a refuge away from the vagaries of corporate record companies. It was one of the wisest things I have ever done. It meant that, within reason, I could commission myself to make whatever sort of record took my fancy. For a prolific artist such as myself, it was a perfect situation. No major record company would have allowed me to have released as many albums as I have. At the time I formed the label, it was still a very rigid business; you released one album every few years and ‘toured it’ in the hope that it became a blockbuster. On the other hand, my attitude was more similar to most painters or other visual artists. I always have one or two records on the go in the same way they always have one or two paintings in progress. My feeling has always been to let the music come, document it by releasing it then let the world catch up in its own time. Hopefully, my new partnership with Cherry Red means that Redux signifies a new beginning as well as documenting the past. -
Sea Surface Microlayer and Bacterioneuston Spreading Dynamics
MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published February 27 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Sea surface microlayer and bacterioneuston spreading dynamics Michelle S. Hale*,James G. Mitchell School of Biological Sciences. Flinders University of South Australia. PO Box 2100. Adelaide, South Austrialia 5001. Australia ABSTRACT: The sea surface microlayer (SSM) has been well studied with regard to its chemical and biological composition, as well as its productivity. The origin and dynamics of these natural communi- ties have been less well studied, despite extenslve work on the relevant phys~calparameters, wind, tur- bulence and surface tension. To examine the effect these processes have on neuston transport, mea- surements of wind-dr~vensurface drift, surfactant spreading and bacter~altransport in the SSM were made in the laboratory and in the field. Spreading rates due to surface tension were up to approxi- mately 17 km d-' (19.7 cm S-') and were not significantly affected by waves. Wind-induced surface drift was measured in the laboratory. Wind speeds of 2 to 5 m S-' produced drift speeds of 8 to 14 cm S-', respectively We demonstrate that bactena spread with advancing sl~cks,but are not distributed evenly. Localised concentrat~onswere found at the source and at the leadlng edge of spreading slicks The Reynolds ridge, a slight rise in surface level at the leading edge of a spreading slick, may provide a mechanism by which bacteria are concentrated and transported at the leading edge. Bacteria already present at the surface were not pushed back by the leading edge, but incorporated and spread evenly across the sllck The spread~ngprocess d~dnot result in the displacement of extant bacterioneuston communities The results ind~catesurface tension and wind-lnduced surface drift may alter distribu- tions and introduce new populat~onsinto neustonlc communltles, including communities d~stantfrom the point source of release. -

Abstract: The ocean surface microlayer (SML), with physicochemical characteristics different from those of subsurface waters (SSW), results in dense and active viral and microbial communities that may favor virus–host interactions. Conversely, wind speed and/or UV radiation could adversely affect virus infection. Furthermore, in polar regions, organic and inorganic nutrient inputs from melting ice may increase microbial activity in the SML. Since the role of viruses in the microbial food web of the SML is poorly understood in polar oceans, we aimed to study the impact of viruses on prokaryotic communities in the SML and in the SSW in Arctic and Antarctic waters. We hypothesized that a higher viral activity in the SML than in the SSW in both polar systems would be observed. -

BEAUTIFUL NOISE Directions in Electronic Music
BEAUTIFUL NOISE Directions in Electronic Music www.ele-mental.org/beautifulnoise/ A WORK IN PROGRESS (3rd rev., Oct 2003) Comments to [email protected] 1 A Few Antecedents The Age of Inventions The 1800s produce a whole series of inventions that set the stage for the creation of electronic music, including the telegraph (1839), the telephone (1876), the phonograph (1877), and many others. Many of the early electronic instruments come about by accident: Elisha Gray’s ‘musical telegraph’ (1876) is an extension of his research into telephone technology; William Du Bois Duddell’s ‘singing arc’ (1899) is an accidental discovery made from the sounds of electric street lights. “The musical telegraph” Elisha Gray’s interesting instrument, 1876 The Telharmonium Thaddeus Cahill's telharmonium (aka the dynamophone) is the most important of the early electronic instruments. Its first public performance is given in Massachusetts in 1906. It is later moved to NYC in the hopes of providing soothing electronic music to area homes, restaurants, and theatres. However, the enormous size, cost, and weight of the instrument (it weighed 200 tons and occupied an entire warehouse), not to mention its interference of local phone service, ensure the telharmonium’s swift demise. Telharmonic Hall No recordings of the instrument survive, but some of Cahill’s 200-ton experiment in canned music, ca. 1910 its principles are later incorporated into the Hammond organ. More importantly, Cahill’s idea of ‘canned music,’ later taken up by Muzak in the 1960s and more recent cable-style systems, is now an inescapable feature of the contemporary landscape. -
Press Release for Easter Rising Published by Houghton Mifflin
Press Release Easter Rising by Michael Patrick MacDonald • About the Book • About the Author • A Conversation with Michael Patrick MacDonald • Advance Praise for Easter Rising • Praise for All Souls • Easter Rising Play List • 2006 Tour for Michael Patrick MacDonald "MacDonald courageously continues to break Southie's silence in this tale of a journey that is as inspiring as it is haunting." — Publishers Weekly, starred review "MacDonald's gift is that he guides us with vision, insight, humor, and the clear, chiseled word. His is a rare sleight of hand." — Colum McCann, author of This Side of Brightness and Dancer About the Book In his best-selling All Souls: A Family Story from Southie, Michael Patrick MacDonald told the powerful story of a decimated community and family, chronicling the loss of four siblings to the violence, poverty, and gangsterism of Boston's Irish American ghetto. In Easter Rising: An Irish American Coming Up from Under, his long-awaited new memoir, MacDonald tells his own story of escaping from that world, immersing himself in the 1980s punk music scene, and traveling to Ireland twice, roots journeys that inspired him to reclaim his heritage as a source of pride rather than shame. Easter Rising begins with young Michael's first forays outside the soul-crushing walls of Southie's Old Colony housing project. In downtown Boston he discovers the club scene swirling around local bands like Mission of Burma and visiting Brits like the Clash, the Slits, and Johnny Rotten. He eventually winds up in New York's East Village at the height of that neighborhood's annus mirabilis, with bands such as the Bad Brains and the Beastie Boys. -
Eukaryotic Community Composition in the Sea Surface Microlayer Across
Eukaryotic community composition in the sea surface microlayer across an east-west transect in the Mediterranean Sea Birthe Zäncker1,2, Michael Cunliffe2,3, Anja Engel1 1GEOMAR, Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, 24105 Kiel, Germany 5 2Marine Biological Association of the UK, Plymouth, PL1 2PB, United Kingdom 3School of Biological and Marine Sciences, University of Plymouth, PL4 8AA, United Kingdom Correspondence to: Anja Engel ([email protected]) Abstract. The sea surface microlayer (SML) represents the boundary layer at the air-sea interface. Microbial eukaryotes in the SML potentially influence air-sea gas exchange directly by taking up and producing gases, and indirectly by excreting and 10 degrading organic matter, which may modify the viscoelastic properties of the SML. However, little is known about the distribution of microbial eukaryotes in the SML. We studied the composition of the microbial community, transparent exopolymer particles and polysaccharides in the SML during the PEACETIME cruise along a west-east transect in the Mediterranean Sea, covering the western basin, Tyrrhenian Sea and Ionian Sea. At the stations located in the Ionian Sea, fungi – likely of continental origin and delivered by atmospheric deposition - were found in high relative abundances making up a 15 significant proportion of the sequences recovered. Concomitantly, bacterial and picophytoplankton counts decreased from west to east, while transparent exopolymer particle (TEP) abundance and total carbohydrate (TCHO) concentrations remained constant in all basins. Our results suggest that the presence of substrates for fungi, such as Cladosporium known to take up phytoplankton-derived polysaccharides, in combination with decreased substrate competition by bacteria might favour fungal dominance in the neuston of the Ionian Sea and other low nutrient low chlorophyll (LNLC) regions. -
