It’s a pretty impossible thought for a serious hi-fi fan, right? Most of us see wires like the veins of our hi-fi systems that carry the signal 58 Novafidelity X12 between vital components enabling the music to flow to our speakers, delivering soundwaves to ears, bringing the music to life and feeding our souls. OK, I may be overstating it, but I’m sure you agree that a world free from cables seems like the impossible dream for hi-fi fans. Despite regular readers knowing that there are hi-fi companies already making moves towards this goal, a stable universal high-resolution wireless solution for home hi-fi appears 50 to still be a little way off just yet. Or is it? exaSound e22 Most of us already have access to an almost universal wireless audio option incorporated into practically every smart device that’s used to access cloud-based and wi-fi-networked music. I talk, of course, of the 99 D’Angelo & ubiquitous short-range cable-free connection called The Vanguard Black Messiah Bluetooth. Alongside the aptX codec this wireless tech is also appearing on home hi-fi and can deliver near-CD quality levels. But it really comes into its own on the move, and I can’t think of a greater desire to be wire free than when wearing headphones. With this in mind we have picked six Bluetooth models to see how they live up to the wireless hype. To find out which models 100 will convince you to go wire free, turn to page 24.

We speak, of course, of Happy by Pharrell Williams. Originally written for the movie Despicable Me 2, the catchy earworm was unavoidable and was nominated for just about every award going, from the Oscars to the Grammys. So you’d think that the man that gave us the unforgettable line “Clap along if you feel like a wall without a roof” would be financially set up for life. Apparently not... According to a leaked email from Sony’s music publisher/ATV CEO Mart Bandier, the The new CX Series song made just $2,700 (£1,788) in royalties looks set to be more from what is widely regarded as the biggest streaming service in the US, sophisticated in its Pandora. Consider that this paltry sum was for the 43 million streams the song enjoyed design aesthetic in the first quarter of the year and you begin to understand why musicians have been rather touchy of late about how much money they get for their music. In the email Bandier goes on to explain that Pandora pays out approximately $60 (£39.75) per 1 million streams, which leaves us wondering: if someone as successful and globally recognised as Pharrell can’t make decent money from streaming, then how are struggling newcomers supposed to survive? As ever there are two sides to the story and closer inspection seems to suggest that it’s not entirely the streaming service that’s at fault. Pandora’s director of public aff airs, Dave Grimaldi, told website Business Insider UK: “Pandora is already the highest too.

  • Varsity Jazz
    Varsity Jazz Jazz at Reading University 1951 - 1984 By Trevor Bannister 1 VARSITY JAZZ Jazz at Reading University 1951 represented an important year for Reading University and for Reading’s local jazz scene. The appearance of Humphrey Lyttelton’s Band at the University Rag Ball, held at the Town Hall on 28th February, marked the first time a true product of the Revivalist jazz movement had played in the town. That it should be the Lyttelton band, Britain’s pre-eminent group of the time, led by the ex-Etonian and Grenadier Guardsman, Humphrey Lyttelton, made the event doubly important. Barely three days later, on 3rd March, the University Rag Committee presented a second event at the Town Hall. The Jazz Jamboree featured the Magnolia Jazz Band led by another trumpeter fast making a name for himself, the colourful Mick Mulligan. It would be the first of his many visits to Reading. Denny Dyson provided the vocals and the Yew Tree Jazz Band were on hand for interval support. There is no further mention of jazz activity at the university in the pages of the Reading Standard until 1956, when the clarinettist Sid Phillips led his acclaimed touring and broadcasting band on stage at the Town Hall for the Rag Ball on 25th February, supported by Len Lacy and His Sweet Band. Considering the intense animosity between the respective followers of traditional and modern jazz, which sometimes reached venomous extremes, the Rag Committee took a brave decision in 1958 to book exponents of the opposing schools. The Rag Ball at the Olympia Ballroom on 20th February, saw Ken Colyer’s Jazz Band, which followed the zealous path of its leader in keeping rigidly to the disciplines of New Orleans jazz, sharing the stage with the much cooler and sophisticated sounds of a quartet led by Tommy Whittle, a tenor saxophonist noted for his work with the Ted Heath Orchestra.

They’d just hired it for a couple of months… …My goal was to make the music I’d actually like to listen to. … …I was clearly imagining life without a band at all, imagining a music I could make alone, like the painter I always wanted to be.” – Robert Wyatt, 2012 Some have called this - the complete set of Robert Wyatt's solo recordings made in the US in late 1968 - the ultimate Holy Grail. Half of the material here is not only previously unreleased - it had never been heard, even by the most dedicated collectors of Wyatt rarities. Until reappearing, seemingly out of nowhere, last year, the demo for “Rivmic Melodies”, an extended sequence of song fragments destined to form the first side of the second album by Soft Machine (the band Wyatt had helped form in 1966 as drummer and lead vocalist, and with whom he had recorded an as-yet unreleased debut album in New York the previous spring), was presumed lost forever. As for the shorter song discovered on the same acetate, “Chelsa”, it wasn't even known to exist! This music was conceived by Wyatt while off the road during and after Soft Machine's second tour of the US with the Jimi Hendrix Experience, first in New York City during the summer of 1968, then in the fall of that year while staying at the Experience's rented house in California, where he was granted free access to the TTG recording facility during studio downtime.

  • The Science of Sound/Audio
    22 - The Science of Sound/Audio . Leveraging Sound Branding Posted on August 22, 2013 by admin ―I should have known, sound branding! Sound Branding is common sense. Quite simply, we are wired to go. It is said that the human ear reacts to certain sounds more than others. This is sound branding. Sound, most notably music, triggers emotions, auditory pleasures, memories and associations. Sound branding is a multi-sensory form of communication and a holistic corporate model, which drives perception. It also creates attention with familiar associations. It also differentiates from the dross of typical advertising media. The benefit of this auditory effect is that it enhances brand identity, loyalty, and thus increases sales. Take the memorable Intel or Coca-Cola jingles as key examples. Harley Davidson‘s distinctive and trademarked motorcycle exhaust sound, and Kellogg‘s investment in the power of auditory stimulus with its cereal crunching demonstrates strategic marketing through sound branding. Firms of this sort understand sound branding delivers personality. The advent of digital media and devices increases the communication of the sound branding experience. Sampling of sound branding through audio identity should be appreciated by listening to the following examples:can be viewed and heard here. • Bentley Motor Cars developed ―The new sound of Bentley‖ — a stirring and thunderous soundtrack and the prelude to a potent new Bentley driving experience. • Hip boutique hotels such as Puro Hotel in Mallorca, whose beach bar has been voted one of the world‘s 50 best by CNN Travel, surrounds you everywhere with lounge/chill-out genre of music compiled by its in-house DJ ‒ whether you open their website, choose to listen to their on-line steaming player, purchase a CD, relax by the pool sipping a passion fruit mojito or come nightfall, gather around to dance to their house tunes.

  • Agency and the Docile Body in the Hunger Games And
    “MORE THAN JUST A PIECE IN THEIR GAMES”: AGENCY AND THE DOCILE BODY IN THE HUNGER GAMES AND REALITY TELEVISION by KATHLEEN DENISON Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN ENGLISH THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON December 2014 Copyright © by Kathleen Denison 2014 All Rights Reserved ii Acknowledgements My deepest gratitude goes out to the chair of my committee, Penny Ingram, for being an incredible person and an incredible professor. She selflessly saved me from my initial thesis “crisis” and constantly believed in me when I wasn’t sure I could believe in myself. Dr. Ingram’s patience, humor, knowledge and stories have been an incredible gift throughout this process. I don’t know if this thesis would have been possible without the shared laughs and compassionate words of understanding that introduced light into some occasionally dark times. I am also grateful to Ashley Miller for her kindness and patience throughout this process. And to Jackie Stodnick for ensuring that my writing best represents my abilities and knowledge. Finally, thank you to my family and friends. This thesis would have never materialized without the many wonderful people that listened to my often incomprehensible ramblings, that let me vent and cry and stress aloud, that offered comfort and accountability during the actual writing, and that always helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel. A special thank you to my mom for listening to me talk about The Hunger Games for hours and for helping me focus when clarity seemed like the least obtainable thing possible.
