  • Underwater Music: Tuning Composition to the Sounds of Science
    OUP UNCORRECTED FIRST-PROOF 7/6/11 CENVEO chapter 6 UNDERWATER MUSIC: TUNING COMPOSITION TO THE SOUNDS OF SCIENCE stefan helmreich Introduction How should we apprehend sounds subaqueous and submarine? As humans, our access to underwater sonic realms is modulated by means fl eshy and technological. Bones, endolymph fl uid, cilia, hydrophones, and sonar equipment are just a few apparatuses that bring watery sounds into human audio worlds. As this list sug- gests, the media through which humans hear sound under water can reach from the scale of the singular biological body up through the socially distributed and techno- logically tuned-in community. For the social scale, which is peopled by submari- ners, physical oceanographers, marine biologists, and others, the underwater world —and the undersea world in particular — often emerge as a “fi eld” (a wildish, distributed space for investigation) and occasionally as a “lab” (a contained place for controlled experiments). In this chapter I investigate the ways the underwater realm manifests as such a scientifi cally, technologically, and epistemologically apprehensible zone. I do so by auditing underwater music, a genre of twentieth- and twenty-fi rst-century 006-Pinch-06.indd6-Pinch-06.indd 115151 77/6/2011/6/2011 55:06:52:06:52 PPMM OUP UNCORRECTED FIRST-PROOF 7/6/11 CENVEO 152 the oxford handbook of sound studies composition performed or recorded under water in settings ranging from swim- ming pools to the ocean, with playback unfolding above water or beneath.

  • 4102-04 Lancaster Ave, Leader Theatre OVERVIEW
    COMMENT ON NATIONAL REGISTER NOMINATION ADDRESS: 4102-04 Lancaster Ave, Leader Theatre OVERVIEW: The Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission (PHMC) has requested comments from the Philadelphia Historical Commission on the National Register nomination of 4102-04 Lancaster Ave located in the West Powelton neighborhood of West Philadelphia and historically known as the Leader Theatre. PHMC is charged with implementing federal historic preservation regulations in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including overseeing the National Register of Historic Places in the state. PHMC reviews all such nominations before forwarding them to the National Park Service for action. As part of the process, PHMC must solicit comments on every National Register nomination from the appropriate local government. The Philadelphia Historical Commission speaks on behalf of the City of Philadelphia in historic preservation matters including the review of National Register nominations. Under federal regulation, the local government not only must provide comments, but must also provide a forum for public comment on nominations. Such a forum is provided during the Philadelphia Historical Commission’s meetings. According to the nomination, the Leader Theatre is significant under Criterion A in the Area of Entertainment/Recreation, as an early model and local example of a neighborhood movie theater in the early 20th century. Located prominently on one of West Powelton’s commercial corridors, the Leader Theatre was constructed during the early years of the movie industry, offering convenient and economical entertainment to the community. During its period of operation, it was known as one of the most popular movie theaters in West Philadelphia. Designed by prolific theater architect John D.
