  • Community Profile for the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Parkway Theatre
    Khamar Hopkins Sunday, February 24, 2019 AAD 612 - Marketing and the Arts Michael Crowley Community Profile for The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Parkway Theatre The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Parkway Theatre, or better known as the Parkway, is a historic theatre located in the heart of Baltimore’s Station North Arts and Entertainment District that recently reopened its doors in the spring of 2017. The Parkway first opened its doors on October 23rd, 1915, with the feature premiere of Zaza, directed by Hugh Ford and Edwin S. Porter, and starring Pauline Fredrick.i During its first decade the Parkway would screen Paramount movies, had an orchestra, an organ, a cameraman, and could seat up to 1100 patrons. In 1926 the theatre was purchased and remodeled by Loews Incorporated, also known as Loew’s Cineplex Entertainment Corporation (as of January 26, 2006, Loews was acquired by AMC Entertainment Inc.)ii and 2 years later it got rid of its orchestra for Vitaphone and Movietone sound systems, and could now only seat 950 customers. The theatre would continue to function as a Loews theatre until it closed during the summer of 1952. With its next owner, Morris Mechanic, the Parkway had a short-lived season as a live theatre before it closed again. On May 24th, 1956, the Parkway reopened under the new name, 5 West, with the premiere of Ladykillers, and started rebranding itself as an art-house cinema. The new 5 West cinema could only hold 435 guests and provided great entertainment to the local community along with its neighboring theatres, but it started to struggle in the late 1970’s and then closed its doors again in the winter of 1978.

  • USING MICROPHONE ARRAYS to RECONSTRUCT MOVING SOUND SOURCES for AURALIZATION 1 Introduction
    USING MICROPHONE ARRAYS TO RECONSTRUCT MOVING SOUND SOURCES FOR AURALIZATION Fanyu Meng, Michael Vorlaender Institute of Technical Acoustics, RWTH Aachen University, Germany {[email protected]) Abstract Microphone arrays are widely used for sound source characterization as well as for moving sound sources. Beamforming is one of the post processing methods to localize sound sources based on microphone array in order to create a color map (the so-called “acoustic camera”). The beamformer response lies on the array pattern, which is influenced by the array shape. Irregular arrays are able to avoid the spatial aliasing which causes grating lobes and degrades array performance to find the spatial positions of sources. With precise characteristics from the beamformer output, the sources can be reconstructed regarding not only spatial distribution but also spectra. Therefore, spectral modeling methods, e.g. spectral modeling synthesis (SMS) can be combined to the previous results to obtain source signals for auralization. In this paper, we design a spiral microphone array to obtain a specific frequency range and resolution. Besides, an unequal-spacing rectangular array is developed as well to compare the performance with the spiral array. Since the second array is separable, Kronecker Array Transform (KAT) can be used to accelerate the beamforming calculation. The beamforming output can be optimized by using deconvolution approach to remove the array response function which is convolved with source signals. With the reconstructed source spectrum generated from the deconvolved beamforming output, the source signal is synthesized separately from tonal and broadband components. Keywords: auralization, synthesizer, microphone arrays, beamforming, SMS PACS no.

  • How to Effectively Listen and Enjoy a Classical Music Concert
    HOW TO EFFECTIVELY LISTEN AND ENJOY A CLASSICAL MUSIC CONCERT 1. INTRODUCTION Hearing live music is one of the most pleasurable experiences available to human beings. The music sounds great, it feels great, and you get to watch the musicians as they create it. No matter what kind of music you love, try listening to it live. This guide focuses on classical music, a tradition that originated before recordings, radio, and the Internet, back when all music was live music. In those days live human beings performed for other live human beings, with everybody together in the same room. When heard in this way, classical music can have a special excitement. Hearing classical music in a concert can leave you feeling refreshed and energized. It can be fun. It can be romantic. It can be spiritual. It can also scare you to death. Classical music concerts can seem like snobby affairs full of foreign terminology and peculiar behavior. It can be hard to understand what’s going on. It can be hard to know how to act. Not to worry. Concerts are no weirder than any other pastime, and the rules of behavior are much simpler and easier to understand than, say, the stock market, football, or system software upgrades. If you haven’t been to a live concert before, or if you’ve been baffled by concerts, this guide will explain the rigmarole so you can relax and enjoy the music. 2. THE LISTENER'S JOB DESCRIPTION Classical music concerts can seem intimidating. It seems like you have to know a lot.

An interface for manipulating these elements is suggested, based on the concept of a disk-jockey turntable as a performance instrument. A system is developed around this idea, enabling optical pickup of visual informa- tion from physical media as input to processes on the computer. Software architecture(s) are discussed and examples are implemented, illustrating the potential uses of the interface for the purpose of creative expression in the virtual domain.

  • The Guy's Guide to Baltimore
    The Guy's Guide to Baltimore 101 Ways To Be A True Baltimorean! By Christina Breda Antoniades. Edited by Ken Iglehart. Let’s assume, for argument’s sake, that you’ve mastered the Baltimore lexicon. You know that “far trucks” put out “fars” and that a “bulled aig” is something you eat. You know the best places to park for O’s games, where the speed traps are on I-83, and which streets have synchronized traffic lights. You know how to shell a steamed crab. You never, EVER attempt to go downy ocean on a Friday evening in the dead of summer. And, let’s face it, you get a little upset when your friends from D.C. call you a Baltimoro… well, you know. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Do you really know all it takes to be a true Baltimorean? ¶ Here, we’ve compiled a list of the 101 activities, quirky habits, and oddball pastimes, that, even if you only did half of them, would earn you certification as a true Baltimorean. Some have stood the test of time, some are new favorites, but all are unique to Charm City. If you’re a grizzled native, you’ll probably find our list a fun test that takes you down memory lane. And if you’re new in town, the guide below will definitely help you to pass yourself off as a local. ¶ So, whether you’ve been here 60 days or 60 years, we’re sure you’ll find something new (or long forgotten) in the pages that follow.
