Distant Worlds: Music From Final Fantasy brings Nobuo Uematsu and Masashi Hamauzu’s compelling music from the internationally celebrated video game series Final Fantasy to life through more than 100 orchestral musicians playing before an HD screen that displays exclusive images provided by the games’ maker, Square Enix. The Grammy Award-winning artist Arnie Roth serves as the Musical Director of Distant Worlds as well as conductor for the Boston stop of this worldwide phenomenon, which comes to Symphony Hall (301 Massachusetts Ave., 888-266-1200) on March 10, accompanied by Boston’s own Video Game Orchestra.

Not the kind you buy in a box, but real, hand-rolled, hand-cut pasta? If you have to think about it then it’s been too long—and Chefs Chris Douglass and Nuno Alves of Tavolo (1918 Dorchester Ave., Dorchester, 617-822-1918) want to fix that. Every Wednesday, they spend all day making the real thing before serving it to loyal fans who gather at the Italian eatery for its Regional Pasta Tour.

    An Endangered American Building

    An Endangered American Building Drawing courtesy Jason Hart, CUBE design + research, LLC, Boston, MA. The National Park Service plans to remove the historically significant Cyclorama Building at Gettysburg, designed by world-renowned architect Richard Neutra. Preservationists are working world-wide to save the structure. • The Cyclorama Center at Gettysburg National Military Park was designed by the firm of Neutra & Alexander as part of the Park Service’s landmark Mission 66 program, a billion- dollar postwar government initiative aimed at improving America's national parks with the construction of new facilities. • As part of Mission 66, five parks were selected to host flagship projects designed by prominent private architects: o Wright Brothers National Monument, NC o Dinosaur National Monument, UT o Rocky Mountain National Park, CO o Petrified Forest National Park, AZ o Gettysburg National Military Park, PA • The building is among the finest public examples of modern architecture nationwide, retains high integrity, and is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. It is a rare example of architect Richard Neutra’s institutional designs and is significant within the range of federal buildings commissioned during America’s prosperous mid- twentieth century boom years. • Citing a desire for new facilities, the Park Service recently opened a new visitor’s center at Gettysburg. The Park Service has stopped maintaining the Cyclorama Center, and plans to remove the building. • U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Report and Recommendation in Civil Action, Recent Past Preservation Network, et al., Plaintiffs, v. John Latschar, et al., Defendants (abridged, dated 2009), found that “Defendants failed to meet the procedural obligations required of federal agencies under NEPA.

After ascending to a viewing platform, they Helped Save are surrounded by a realistic painting created over 100 years ago, a precursor of the virtual reality we know today. The cyclorama the Gettysburg survives in part due to the efforts of Albert J. Hahne, who purchased Cyclorama the huge painting and displayed it for a time around the atrium of his Newark, NJ department store. Saving the Cyclorama | Suzanne Wray | www.GardenStateLegacy.com Issue 42 December 2018 Virtual reality and immersive environments are familiar concepts to most today, but less familiar are their precursors. These include the panorama, also called “cyclorama.” In the nineteenth century, viewers could immerse themselves in another world—a city, a landscape, a battlefield—by entering a purpose-built building, and climbing a spiral staircase to step onto a circular viewing platform. A circular painting, painted to be as realistic as possible, surrounded them. A three-dimensional foreground (the “faux terrain” or “diorama”) disguised the point at which the painting ended and the foreground began. The viewing platform hid the bottom of the painting, and an umbrella-shaped “vellum” hung from the roof, hiding the top of the painting and the skylights that admitted light to the building. Cut off from any reference to the outside world, viewers were immersed in the scene surrounding them, giving the sensation of “being there.”1 An Irish artist, Robert Barker (1739–1806), conceived the circular painting and patented the new art form on June 18, 1787.

With a half- dozen others from the University of Maryland Repertoire Orchestra, she founded the Gamer Symphony Orchestra to achieve that dream. By the ensemble’s first public performance in Spring 2006, its size had quadrupled. Today, the Gamer Symphony Orchestra provides a musical and social outlet to 130+ members. It is the world’s first college-level ensemble to draw its repertoire exclusively from the soundtracks of video games. The ensemble is entirely student run, which includes conducting and musical arranging. In February 2011, the GSO’s arrangement of “Korobeiniki” from Tetris was performed in collaboration with Video Games Live and The National Philharmonic to two sold-out houses at the Strathmore in Bethesda, MD. In May 2012 and 2015, as a part of the Art of Video Games Exhibit, the GSO performed at the American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. in the central atrium. In March 2018, the GSO performed at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts on the Millennium Stage. Aside from its concerts, the GSO also hosts a charity video game event at least once a year, called Gaming4Life. All proceeds from this multi-hour long video game tournament benefits the Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C.

Temporary construction dewatering is necessary to facilitate the below-grade construction associated with a new two to five-story expansion to the Boston Medical Center Menino building, located as shown on Figure 1. The proposed construction consists of a new infill building on the Boston Medical Center west campus at 840 Harrison Avenue. A portion of the new structure will have a single basement level which will extend approximately 18 feet below existing site grades and up to about 6-ft below site groundwater levels. It is anticipated that either a soldier pile and timber lagging or steel sheet pile support of excavation (SOE) system will be used to facilitate excavation for the below grade structure. Various site improvements are also planned, including a new patient transport bridge which will provide the new building at 840 Harrison Avenue with direct access to a medical flight landing pad at the rear of the Power Plant building at 750 Albany Street.

    Game Music Como Produto Cultural Autônomo: Como Ela Ultrapassa Os Limites Do Jogo E Se Insere Em Outras Mídias

    revista Fronteiras – estudos midiáticos 13(2): 111-120, maio/agosto 2011 © 2011 by Unisinos – doi: 10.4013/fem.2011.132.04 Game music como produto cultural autônomo: como ela ultrapassa os limites do jogo e se insere em outras mídias Camila Schäfer1 RESUMO A música, nos jogos eletrônicos, além de servir como fundo, também é utilizada como forma de potencializar a experiência de imersão e interatividade do jogador. Considerando seu papel no game como de extrema importância, este artigo procura analisar como a música de videogames se tornou um produto cultural autônomo. Depois de realizada a pesquisa bibliográfica, foi analisado o movimento de autonomização da game music para identificar em quais mídias esse tipo de música se insere atualmente e como ela está se tornando uma manifestação cada vez mais visível também fora do universo dos videogames. A partir desses estudos, da análise dos processos de autonomização, concluiu-se que a game music, além de sua importância para os jogos, constitui-se num novo fenômeno midiático que a cada dia cresce e contagia mais pessoas ao redor do mundo. Palavras-chave: game music, música, jogos eletrônicos. ABSTRACT The game music as an autonomous cultural product: How it exceeds the limits of the video games and falls in other media. The music in the video games, besides of working as a background, is also used as a way to leverage the experience of immersion and interactivity of the player. Considering its role in the game as extremely important, this article seeks to analyze how the game’s music has become an autonomous cultural product.

S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service Present Occupant: Gettysburg National Military Park Present Use: Park offices, bookstore, and interpretative activities, including display of the Cyclorama painting. Significance: The Gettysburg Cyclorama Building was one of a handful of high profile new visitor centers designed by famous architects as part of the larger Mission 66 initiative. Mission 66 was a National Park Service-wide effort to upgrade park visitor facilities and provide more professional interpretation for growing crowds of visitors. The program lasted from roughly 1956 to 1966, culminating at the 50th anniversary of NPS. Ever since the immediate post-Civil War years, private and government organizations straggled to simultaneously preserve and provide access to the important battlefield and commemorative landscape at Gettysburg. The Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association (GBMA), a private organization, presided over the preservation of Gettysburg battlefield from 1863 to until the War Department took over management in 1895. Management of the Gettysburg National Military Park, including the preserved sections of the battlefield and National Cemetery where President Abraham Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address, was transferred from the War Department to National Park Service in 1933.
