ABSTRACT is thesis considers the portrayal of uncertain or amateur encounters with new technologies in the late twentieth century. Focusing on "ctional responses to the incipient technological and cultural changes wrought by the rise of the personal computer, I demonstrate how authors during this period drew on experiences of empowerment and uncertainty to convey the impact of a period of intense technological transition. From the increasing availability of word processing software in the 1980s to the exponential popularity of the “World Wide Web”, I explore how perceptions of an “information revolution” tended to emphasise the increasing speed, ease and expansiveness of global communications, while more doubtful commentators expressed anxieties about the pace and effects of technological change.

In the concert, the simulated Tsar bell was triggered by the keyboard and perceptually fused with the bourdon of the Baird Carillon on the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor. 1. INTRODUCTION In 1735 Empress Anna Ivanovna commissioned the giant Tsar Kolokol bell. The bell was cast in an excavated pit then raised into scaffolding for the cooling and engraving process. When the supporting wooden structure caught fire, the bell was doused with water causing the metal to crack.

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

Joke of the Month From the Editor Dean's Message It is with the greatest pleasure that we announce the winner of the 2019 International Performer of the Year Award: Joan Lippincott. Read more about Joan's career later in this issue. More than 200 votes were cast by the Chapter membership, and it is clear that many people hold a deep appreciation for all Joan has done and continues to do in the world of the pipe organ and its music. Brava! The International Performer of the Year Award was created in 1978 to recognize excellence in organ performance and to increase public awareness of the organ and its performers. Robert Noehren was the first recipient of the award, in 1978. The award is considered by many to be the highest organists' honor given by a musicians' guild in the United States. The New York City Chapter's Distinguished Career Award was created in 2016 to honor people for exemplary service to the organ, choral music, and related fields. The inaugural recipient was Diane Bish. Each award is made on a biennial basis. Our grateful thanks go to the Awards Committee members, Chelsea Chen, David Hurd, Daniel Hyde, and Donald Meineke, Chair.

  • Pearls and Rarities of the Welte Organ Roll Collection by David Rumsey
    Pearls and rarities of the Welte organ roll collection by David Rumsey Hofner, Diebold, Philipp and the world’s earliest recorded organists The earliest-born of all Welte’s organists seem to have been Carl Hofner and Johann Diebold. Judging by the catalogue numbers Franz Philipp, born half a century later, was possibly the first organist ever to record while still a student (see later). The honour of being first might also have been bestowed on one or two other now-obscure identities, e.g. A. Maenner or “Frey”. However, Hofner and Diebold had at least 5 known rolls rolls released by 1912, Philipp only one (Salvator Rosa’s Canzonetta:Nah und fern on W474). Maenner’s only known dated release is 1922 which is also about when Philipp’s main output of rolls started to appear. Some of these early rolls might have been played in Turin at the 1911 exhibition which ran from April to October, since the advertizing expressly stated: “Philharmonie- Orgel mit Künstlerrollen” (Philharmonic Organ with artist-recorded rolls)1. Carl Hofner 19th/early-20thc German organist and composer, also possibly noted for his improvisation. *1842 Jan 23: Inchenhofen/Augsburg (D) - studied for 5 years at the Munich Conservatorium then spent 8 years as “Music-Prefect” at the monastery school at Metten 1868 Oct: teaching position at the Church Music School in Freiburg/Breisgau; regular duties for the 9 a.m. service at the Münster 1871 Jan 1 began officially as organist at Freiburg Münster 1878 taught Joseph Schildknecht (an important Swiss organist) †1912 May 19 Freiburg (D) Hofner’s playing of Bach’s music represents the closest training to Bach’s own era.
