Not at the very beginning of this book, nor at the middle, nor the end of it for that matter. This isn’t Portal, and I’m not going to tease you with promises of cake. Within this playfully illustrated, reference-laden tome lies a true challenge. An epic quest that will lead you through the perilous, occasionally disaster-filled world of modern dating. It’s a world as dangerous as Ceti Alpha V, confusing as Crisis on Infinite Earths, and challenging as the Special Zone levels in Super Mario World. Dating has changed. The art of writing long, heartfelt “I like like you” letters has been replaced by the hookup sext message. Thanks to Google and Facebook, the blind date doesn’t really exist any- more. Longing flirtatious stares are going by the wayside, as people become more comfortable with sending an ellipsis in a chat win- dow. And with online dating becoming the new normal, concepts like courtship and chivalry have started to feel somewhat dated. There have been days that I, much like the aging gamer who clings to his original Game Boy with its fading screen, have yearned for simpler times. For the days of old when one could hop into a geek_interior_MECH.indd 10 6/24/13 2:24 PM CH 00 WELCOME, PLAYER ONE 0011 chat room on America Online, type in A/S/L?, and immediately find a soul mate. For a time before Facebook poking and direct messag- ing on Twitter, when getting your crush to notice you required talking face-to-face, or at least passing them a note along the lines of Do you like me? Circle Yes or No. As a lovesick kid, I always tossed a Maybe in there, just to spice things up a bit. So how do you date in a world where people, to some extent, don’t really date anymore? Where they become close virtually rather than in person, via texts instead of over dinner? Where a phone call to say how you’d really love to see them tonight, or a long pause before asking someone to come upstairs, is replaced with a text that says “… sup? ;-)” By embracing traditional rules, and staying old-fashioned in a modern world. Or, better yet, updating those traditions for the mod- ern age. Technology and the gadgets we’ve been blessed with have cer- tainly made life easier and taken us in the direction of making all of Gene Roddenberry’s wildest dreams come true. But as much as modern tech and the Internet have made the world feel a little smaller, they’ve also managed to push us apart. You don’t need to look all that far for proof. I mean, there’s an app called FaceTime just for face time. As a kid, I projected myself into video games (as I once described in detail in the online literary journal BygoneBureau.com). When playing an RPG, I always renamed the characters when given the option. In Chrono Trigger, I was always Crono. His best friend, Lucca, was renamed Darlene, after a girl who’s been my closest friend since I was 8 years old. Robo, Frog, Ayla, and Magus have been given an array of names over the years—always for the people clos- est to me. And Crono’s love interest, Marle? I named her after vari- ous crushes and, later, different girlfriends. During a play-through geek_interior_MECH.indd 11 6/24/13 2:24 PM 0012 THE GEEK'S GUIDE TO DATING CH 00 on my iPhone, as I renamed Marle after my current sweetheart, it hit me: this nearly two-decade-old RPG about time travel has been with me through all of my romantic relationships. And it’s taught me valuable lessons about being brave (Crono goes after and saves the girl), learning to accept yourself (Robo is accused of malfunctioning, of being broken), not giving up on love (Robo doesn’t find his match until after he transcends time), and moving on from the past (Frog recovering from the disgrace of letting down Queen Leene). Technology, games, fantasy worlds, superheroic characters . I love them all. I’m a still-sometimes-awkward 30-year-old man who owns a Master Chief suit and plays Chrono Trigger on his iPhone, and I’m okay with that. Because I use technology as a tool, not a crutch. See, there’s a reason why we geeks always read the book, graphic novel, or comic series before seeing the movie. Why we acknowl- edge the original series before checking out the reboot. Why we take the time to play with Magic: The Gathering cards and Warhammer 40,000 figurines before trying out the various video game adapta- tions. Honoring tradition, understanding the way things originally were—and why—makes embracing modern ideas even better. The same principle applies whether we’re talking about remakes of Battlestar Galactica and Doctor Who or about meeting that special someone. In this book, we’ll explore the lessons embedded in the pixels and codes and equations and datastreams of the geek canon. Old-school lessons about love and relationships, honor and allure, heartbreak and loss. Lessons that have stood the test of time (and time travel). What this little book is going to challenge you to do, Player One, is to upload traditional dating rules into the operating system of the modern dating world. This quest will challenge you. It will upset, infu- riate, and frustrate you. But like all good quests, if you undertake it for the right reasons, the experience is its own reward. Your journey is about to begin, Player One. And on that journey, I wish you luck. geek_interior_MECH.indd 12 6/24/13 2:24 PM CH 00 WELCOME, PLAYER ONE 0013 It’s time to press Start. geek_interior_MECH.indd 13 6/24/13 2:24 PM geek_interior_MECH.indd 14 6/24/13 2:24 PM CHAPTER 1 Selecting Your Character: Your Quest Begins geek_interior_MECH.indd 15 6/24/13 2:24 PM 1 ood to see you, Player One. Grab a spot on the couch; help yourself to those chips and some Mr. Pibb. (I know, you wanted Pepsi, but Mr. Pibb was on sale.) We’ll bust out some beers later on; for now, you’ll want to keep a clear head. So, we both know why you’re here. You’re tired of living life in single player mode; you’re on a quest for a Player Two to call your own. Maybe you’ve already tried to recruit a partner at a local tavern or cantina but ended up flying home solo. Maybe you’ve yet to make a first move in the three-dimensional chess game that is dating. First off, relax. Sure, you’re eager to start the search for your smizmar. But Rome wasn’t built in a day—not even Space Rome, where Kirk, Spock, and McCoy fought in the gladiatorial arena. Before you sad- dle up and ride towards adventure with map in hand and longsword sheathed over your shoulder—even before you spend some precious silver pieces on torches, daggers, and a ten-foot pole (to check for trapdoors)—you have to spend a little time assessing your stats and checking your skills. Here’s the thing, Player One: It is incredibly important to get to know yourself and figure out what you want before you start dating. geek_interior_MECH.indd 16 6/24/13 2:24 PM CH 01 SELECTING YOUR CHARACTER 0017 Otherwise, you’re just going to end up wasting time.

  • An Examination of Jerry Goldsmith's
    THE FORBIDDEN ZONE, ESCAPING EARTH AND TONALITY: AN EXAMINATION OF JERRY GOLDSMITH’S TWELVE-TONE SCORE FOR PLANET OF THE APES VINCENT GASSI A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO MAY 2019 © VINCENT GASSI, 2019 ii ABSTRACT Jerry GoldsMith’s twelve-tone score for Planet of the Apes (1968) stands apart in Hollywood’s long history of tonal scores. His extensive use of tone rows and permutations throughout the entire score helped to create the diegetic world so integral to the success of the filM. GoldsMith’s formative years prior to 1967–his training and day to day experience of writing Music for draMatic situations—were critical factors in preparing hiM to meet this challenge. A review of the research on music and eMotion, together with an analysis of GoldsMith’s methods, shows how, in 1967, he was able to create an expressive twelve-tone score which supported the narrative of the filM. The score for Planet of the Apes Marks a pivotal moment in an industry with a long-standing bias toward modernist music. iii For Mary and Bruno Gassi. The gift of music you passed on was a game-changer. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Heartfelt thanks and much love go to my aMazing wife Alison and our awesome children, Daniela, Vince Jr., and Shira, without whose unending patience and encourageMent I could do nothing. I aM ever grateful to my brother Carmen Gassi, not only for introducing me to the music of Jerry GoldsMith, but also for our ongoing conversations over the years about filM music, composers, and composition in general; I’ve learned so much.

  • 5. Chord Changes
    How Film & TV Music Communicate – Vol.2 Text © Brian Morrell 2013 Chapter 5 I N S P A C E E V E R Y O N E C A N H E A R T H E C H O R D C H A N G E S ( p a r t 1 ) This chapter will examine the music for some of the most eminent and successful ‘Space movies’ in cinema history. The chapter will examine numerous memorable, famous and iconic science fiction films, most of them with a unifying theme of either being set in Space and/or involving Aliens. It will also ask whether there are inherently ‘sci-fi’ methods of composing music and if there are chord changes, orchestration techniques or melodic devices which are commonly used. Films and music discussed are: Alien (Jerry Goldsmith / Howard Hanson) Aliens (James Horner) Apollo 13 (James Horner) Independence Day, (David Arnold) Star Trek (Alexander Courage, Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner and Michael Giacchano) Mission to Mars (Ennio Morricone) Batman Forever (Elliot Goldenthal) ALIEN Jerry Goldsmith Alien is a 1979 science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott. The lead character is a creature that stalks and kills nearly the entire crew of a spaceship. The common mantra that Alien was to Star Wars what the Rolling Stones were to the Beatles goes some way to articulating how the film Alien is perceived by cinema-goers. Alien offers a subtle, cold, desolate environment; it lacks the usual Hollywood sheen – the razzmatazz, the glitz and the spectacle. It is a slow, plodding, brooding, dark film but one which completely captured the imagination of people who watched it.

  • STAR TREK: INSURRECTION Unsuspecting Population
    specialists and gruesome Son’a observers monitor the STAR TREK: INSURRECTION unsuspecting population. A muted horn line over ominous timpani and piano figures distantly recalls Goldsmith’s Federation theme TRACK-BY-TRACK ANALYSIS from STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE, while also evoking his dark conspiracy motive from the 1977 film CAPRICORN ONE. 1. Ba’ku Village Jerry Goldsmith’s score for STAR TREK: INSURRECTION follows Skittering electronics and fierce statements of the insurrection well-established tradition by opening with Alexander Courage’s theme break the tension as a mysterious interloper in a Federation inspiring fanfare from the original STAR TREK television series. The invisibility suit begins to raise a commotion. The theme continues fanfare rises gracefully through shifting harmonies to culminate in to punctuate Goldsmith’s signature mixed-meter action writing (the a warm major chord, interwoven with noble statements of alternating bars of 6/8 and 5/8 here will become a recurring device Goldsmith’s insurrection theme. Next, a dancing harp figure leads throughout the score) as the fugitive struggles with his pursuers into a lovely pastoral theme on solo oboe for shots of the quaint and, with a dramatic flourish, removes his helmet to reveal himself Ba’ku village that open the film. Flute and strings soon take up the as the android Lt. Commander Data (Brent Spiner). Undeterred by theme, accompanied by French horn, but the idyllic tone shifts his evident physical damage, Data becomes fully visible and uses upon the revelation that the villagers are not alone: from a his phaser to expose the hidden blind.

Properties like Star Trek , Star Wars , and the Marvel Comics Universe extend across fi lm, television, video games, novels, comics, toys, and so on. Media consumers are now able to engage with their favorite characters, locations, and other franchise- distinguishing features in a variety of ways, through several different kinds of media. Viewers/readers/players follow the franchise, enjoying the interrelationships that are created across the textual galaxies. Such stories, characters and settings are transmedial in that they cross borders between different media, and traditional boundaries between media forms do not always hold fast or refl ect the audience’s experience of media engagement. 1 In this kind of multimedia network, music can illuminate the relationship between constituent texts of a transmedial franchise and may act as an agent for articulating and constructing those textual connections.

  • Diane Monroe/Tony Miceli Duo
    DIANE MONROE/TONY MICELI DUO “The real challenge of playing in a duo setting is saying what you want to say with as many tools as you have. That enables you to get to the point of being able to orchestrate so that the duo sounds like a larger ensemble.” Diane Monroe Diane Monroe and Tony Miceli, both native Philadelphians, have admired each other’s playing, since the mid 1980’s. Although Monroe performed mostly as a classical artist during that time, Miceli would invite her to jam sessions in his basement studio. From these sessions, they developed a very special musical bond. Their friendship developed at of their mutual musical interests. Some years later, Miceli and Monroe began playing together in various trio, quartet, and quintet configurations, each in leading roles, depending upon the band. In 2009, Monroe and Miceli discussed the idea of forming a duo. At the time, they were both eager and reluctant, due to the “limited” range of each instrument, and vast differences in production of sound, and finding a good balance between the two instruments. It took much practice and experimentation to find their ‘sound.’ But find it they did in their up- coming debut CD, Alone Together. By 2010, they had developed a blend with which they were happy and proud to use as a model by which to grow as a duo. They began with numerous live webcasts from Tony’s basement studio. These webacasts enabled them to develop a large local Philly online following; they received great feedback, which gave them more ideas for repertoire and other musical territories to explore.
