  • Scorelight: Playing with a Human-Sized Laser Pick-Up
    Proceedings of the 2010 Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME 2010), Sydney, Australia scoreLight: playing with a human-sized laser pick-up A. Cassinelli,∗ Y. Kuribara, A. Zerroug, M. Ishikawa D. Manabey Ishikawa-Komuro Laboratory, University of Tokyo Rhyzomatics ABSTRACT scoreLight is a playful musical instrument capable of gene- rating sound from the lines of drawings as well as from the edges of three-dimensional objects nearby (including every- day objects, sculptures and architectural details, but also the performer's hands or even the moving silhouettes of dancers). There is no camera nor projector: a laser spot explores shapes as a pick-up head would search for sound over the surface of a vinyl record - with the significant dif- ference that the groove is generated by the contours of the drawing itself.

All rights reserved. Greetings, directors of WE WILL ROCK YOU: School Edition, Congratulations on choosing such a great show. It offers many creative possibilities and unique performance opportunities. Whether with a large cast or small, WE WILL ROCK YOU: School Edition offers great roles for men and really great roles for women. I had a wonderful experience directing and designing the show and I would like to share some of our experiences, especially with the production elements. There is no definitive way to design the show. However, evoking the environment of a rock concert is a good place to start. We rented four floor trusses and used them, two on each side of the stage, for lighting. A unit set of scaffolding or platforms is a helpful solution to consider. Our set was a variation on that and several platform pieces were movable. Lighting is really the key to the show, and moving lights, if available, are a big help, especially for the “Flash” and “Seven Seas of Rhye” scene as well as for the attack that kills Brit. We only rented two because of budget constraints, but more would be great. Projections were a big part of our production (and several others I’ve seen), but they are an enhancement, not a necessity.

  • The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" by Jean-Dominique Bauby
    "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" by Jean-Dominique Bauby Jean-Dominique Bauby The editor-in-chief of French Elle, Jean-Dominique Bauby suffered a stroke that resulted in locked-in syndrome when he was 43 years old. He died just two days after the French publication of his book. For my children, Théophile and Céleste… And my deepest gratitude to Claude Mendibil, whose all-important contribution to these pages will become clear as my story unfolds Acclaim forJean-Dominique Bauby's "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" "The sentences soar, unburdened by self-pity or despair, and the progression of short, lyrical chapters begin to resemble the beating of wings." — The New Yorker "An admirable testament to the unkillable self, to the spirit that insists on itself so vehemently that it ultimately transcends and escapes the prison of the body." — Francine Prose, Newsday "The most remarkable memoir of our time—perhaps of any time." — Cynthia Ozick "Shattering eloquence…. The real glory here is Bauby himself, whose spirit asserts itself again and again in the words that survive him." — Miami Herald "To read this most extraordinary of narratives is to discover the luminosity within a courageous man's mind…. Incomparable." — Sherwin B. Nuland, M.D. "Mesmerizing." — Newsweek "Read this book and fall back in love with life…. The prose…is as light as the sprightliest humor, as pungent as the scent of cooking apricots, as vigorous as the step of a young man setting out on a first date." — Edmund White .
