  • Format Guide to Sound Recordings
    National Archives & Records Administration October 2014 Format Guide to Sound Recordings: This document originated as project-specific guidance for the inventory, identification and basic description of a collection of disc recordings and open reel sound recordings dated from the late 1920’s through the early 1960’s from the holdings of the Office of Presidential Libraries. It contains references to individuals that have been concealed and to specific database elements that were used in the inventory project. ¼” Open Reel Magnetic tape was first introduced as a recording medium in 1928 in Germany, but innovations related to a alternating current biasing circuit revolutionized the sound quality that tape offered in the 1940 under the Nazis. After the war, with Axis controlled patents voided by the victorious Allies, magnetic tape technology rapidly supplanted sound recording to disc in radio production and music recording. Physically, the tape is a ribbon of paper or plastic, coated with ferric oxide (essentially a highly refined form of rust) wound onto a plastic spool housed in a small cardboard box. The most common width of magnetic tape used for audio was ¼” and it was supplied in reels of 3”, 5”, 7” and 10.5” diameters, with 7” being the most common. Original ¼” audio tape begins appearing in Presidential Library collections in the early 1950’s. The format was commonly used by the National Archives to create preservation and reference copies into the 1990’s. This use as a reproduction format may be its most common occurrence in the materials we are inventorying.

  • 1 Introdução E Apresentação
    1 1 INTRODUÇÃO E APRESENTAÇÃO A proposta do presente estudo se justifica na busca da compreensão dos processos que envolvem a fruição em música. Para tanto desenvolvemos uma análise da relação do homem com a música, considerando a ampla teia de pressupostos ligados a contextos históricos, filosóficos e sociais. Norteados pelas teorias da estética da recepção, suas inferências e projeções no campo musical, este estudo visa investigar o processo produtivo em música sob a ótica do receptor. Trata-se, sobretudo, de uma análise da relação do receptor com os espaços formais de realização da música – no sentido tanto concreto quanto metafórico – nas contingências e circunstâncias que o cercam e conformam o ato da fruição. Discutiremos, portanto, ao longo da história da música ocidental, os lugares de produção e recepção da música, os conceitos de sentido, lingüisticidade musical e seus modos de apreensão, bem como os processos de estruturação musical numa perspectiva e estética vinculadas à acústica e à paisagem sonora. Norteados pelo Pensamento Complexo proposto por Edgar Morin, analisaremos a complexidade existente na trama do processo criativo sob a perspectiva do receptor; e, como se faz pertinente e imprescindível no raciocínio sistêmico, daremos igual atenção à obra e às intenções do autor. Em um primeiro momento, nosso foco será a obra, aqui tratada enquanto representação simbólica inserida no contexto em que foi criada. Sem a preocupação com a linearidade e a cronologia, primaremos por nos aproximar do que seria a gênese da obra, entendendo a mesma como um microcosmo artístico (fruto de uma organização de ordem cultural e cognitiva) e de um macrocosmo social (uma organização de ordem política e sócio- econômica).

  • Thomas's Epilogue
    1 HEAR NO EVIL: SOCIAL CONSTRUCTIVISM & THE FORENSIC EVIDENCE IN THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION (2010) By Donald Byron Thomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Review by David W. Mantik The Mantik View Original Date: March 9, 2011 Revised and Updated: May 4, 2019 UPDATE NOTE: This version adds clarity, but also corrects multiple mistranslations that arose during conversion of my original Word document for the CTKA website (now known as Kennedys and King). I also correct a few of my own mistakes (e.g., Fig. 3). The most important point though is this: The pièce de résistance from physicists Linsker and Garwin (their reductio ad absurdum—see Figure 21 ff.) remains not only unchallenged, but quite unaddressed by Dictabelt advocates. My fellow JFK conspiracy believers would like to discipline me for denying their case, but the facts do not support them, and their failure to address this reductio issue does them no credit. Until they address this paradox, the acoustical case for conspiracy lies lifeless in the morgue. That these promoters are unlikely (ever) to address this conundrum is provably based on the absence of any attempt to do so during the intervening 8 years. I here also briefly update my conclusions about the head shots, an issue explored in greater detail in my e-book, JFK’s Head Wounds (2015). My (new) monologue on the current controversy about p-values appears just before Appendix 1. Appendices 8–11 are all new; the cognoscenti may wish to begin there. Appendix 11 summarizes the Sonalysts 2013 report, which holds a quiver of arrows fatally targeted at the acoustic case.
