    USER MANUAL 1.0.2 EASTWEST | THE DARK SIDE IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY NOTE! Our Revolutionary New Opus Software Engine Our brand new Opus software engine has been years in development, and replaces the Play engine. All EastWest Libraries (with the exception of the original Hollywood Orchestra, the original Hollywood Solo Instruments, and the MIDI Guitar Series) are supported in Opus, allowing them to take advantage of a faster, more powerful, more flexible, and better looking software engine. Opus comes with some incredible new features such as individual instrument down- loads, customized key-switches, new effects for the mixer page, scalable retina user interface upgrades for legacy products, a powerful new script language, and many more features that allow you to completely customize the sound of each instrument. It’s one of the most exciting developments in the history of our company and will be the launching pad for many exciting new products in the future. Using Opus and Play Together Opus and Play are two separate software products, anything you have saved in your projects will still load up inside the saved Play version of the plugins. You can update your current/existing projects to Opus if you so choose, or leave them saved within Play. After purchasing or upgrading to Opus you do not need to use Play, but it may be more convenient to make small adjustments to an older composition in your DAW loading the instruments saved in Play instead of replacing them with Opus. For any new composi- tion, just use Opus.

  • David Lynch to Show New Works at Solo Gallery Exhibition.” Los Angeles Times
    Ng, David. “David Lynch to show new works at solo gallery exhibition.” Los Angeles Times. 14 November 2013. Web. David Lynch to show new works at solo gallery exhibition David Lynch will be opening a show this month at Kayne Griffin Corcoran. It will run Nov. 23 through Jan.4. David Lynch hasn't released a new feature since "Inland Empire" in 2006, but the director has been creating visual art and exhibiting surreal creations in gallery shows. Lynch held solo exhibitions in Los Angeles in 2009 and 2011, and will be opening yet another show this month at Kayne Griffin Corcoran. The exhibition, which is being curated by Brett Littman, executive director of the Drawing Center in New York, will focus on how Lynch uses "naming" in film, photography, drawings and other works dating from 1968 to the present. Kayne Griffin Corcoran said the show will run from Nov. 23 to Jan. 4, and will feature a group of new paintings, drawings and watercolors by Lynch. The filmmaker, whose credits include "Blue Velvet," "Mulholland Dr." and the "Twin Peaks" television series, has previously exhibited his art at William Griffin Gallery in Santa Monica. In 2009, he showed original artwork for the album "Dark Night of the Soul," featuring music by Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse, at L.A.'s Michael Kohn Gallery. Next year, Lynch's work will be the subject of a retrospective show at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, where the director studied in his youth. The show will feature approximately 75 paintings and drawings created by Lynch since 1965.

  • CMJ Directory SPARKLEHORSE: Back in the Saddle Again Story by Colin Helms
    CMJ Directory SPARKLEHORSE: Back In The Saddle Again Story by Colin Helms With his latest, Sparklehorse mainstay Mark Linkous finds gentle beauty on the other side of pain. Five years ago, Mark Linkous nearly died. He then spent over 12 months in a wheelchair, struggling with chronic depression and a crippling reliance on painkillers, and subsequently found, or so the story goes, that he couldn't remember how to write songs anymore. This year he's found the means - credit spiritual rebirth or the blackest sense of ironic humor - to not only create his most affecting Sparklehorse recording to date, but to brazenly dub the album It's A Wonderful Life. "If I've learned nothing else, it's that I should at least try to notice one little thing every day," he offers. "Whether it's not getting eaten by a bear, or seeing a little kid smile at you on the street. Before I go to bed I say 'I'm glad I didn't wake up dead today.'" The infamous day Linkous nearly woke up dead - the aftermath of a night in a London hotel room during which too many Valium and antidepressants were consumed - may have put a damper on Sparklehorse's output in the time since, but it seems to have changed Linkous's life (and life-work) for the better. Wonderful Life's scarred and cracked sonic façade strongly resembles that of 1995's Vivadixiesub-marinetransmissionplot and 1999's Good Morning Spider, but it's a gentler, somehow lighter collection, populated by horse heads and tiger hearts, fat babies and yellow birds.

  • Identification and Characterization of Events in Social Media
    Identification and Characterization of Events in Social Media Hila Becker Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 c 2011 Hila Becker All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Identification and Characterization of Events in Social Media Hila Becker Millions of users share their experiences, thoughts, and interests online, through social media sites (e.g., Twitter, Flickr, YouTube). As a result, these sites host a substantial num- ber of user-contributed documents (e.g., textual messages, photographs, videos) for a wide variety of events (e.g., concerts, political demonstrations, earthquakes). In this dissertation, we present techniques for leveraging the wealth of available social media documents to iden- tify and characterize events of different types and scale. By automatically identifying and characterizing events and their associated user-contributed social media documents, we can ultimately offer substantial improvements in browsing and search quality for event content. To understand the types of events that exist in social media, we first characterize a large set of events using their associated social media documents. Specifically, we develop a taxonomy of events in social media, identify important dimensions along which they can be categorized, and determine the key distinguishing features that can be derived from their associated documents. We quantitatively examine the computed features for different cate- gories of events, and establish that significant differences can be detected across categories. Importantly, we observe differences between events and other non-event content that exists in social media. We use these observations to inform our event identification techniques.

  • Rolling Stone “Danger Mouse Looks Through a Label Darkly”
    Danger Mouse Looks Through A Label, Darkly | Music News | Rolling Stone Page 1 of 2 Danger Mouse Looks Through A Label, Darkly Behind his "Dark Night of the Soul" collaboration with Mark Linkous and David Lynch by: Austin Scaggs The final product isn't exactly what Danger Mouse envisioned, but the cutting-edge producer breathed a heavy sigh of relief with the release of Dark Night of the Soul , a multimedia package he created in tandem with songwriter Mark Linkous (the creative force behind Sparklehorse) consisting of a record and a large-form book of photos commissioned from filmmaker David Lynch. For the album, Danger Mouse and Linkous created moody backing tracks, then offered them to 10 vocalists who were charged to write lyrics and vocal melodies (contributors include Iggy Pop, the Strokes' Julian Casablancas, the Shins' James Mercer, Suzanne Vega and Pixies' Black Francis). "We had no intention of making a star-studded record," says Danger Mouse, born Brian Burton. "It's just when we started thinking about these people we just thought, 'Well, of course they'd sound good on a record together.' " The catch, which Danger Mouse describes as "bittersweet," is that the CD mounted in Dark Night of the Soul package is completely blank. Buyers are slyly encouraged to use the recordable disc to capture the music from the Internet, where it is widely available as a free, though illegal, download. Danger Mouse's inability to package the music with the book stems from a long-standing contractual disagreement with EMI, who retainrights to some of his music.
