In This Issue The California Tech Volume CXViii number 21 Pasadena, California [email protected] aPril 6, 2015 California water Students join Caltech Y to volunteer in Make-A-Difference Day crisis induces cutbacks and paradigm shifts LORI DAJOSE Contributing Writer California Gov. Jerry Brown issued an unprecedented executive order last week mandating the reduction of water usage across 400 local water supply agencies. Each agency must come up with and enforce restrictions on consumers and businesses to reduce water usage by 25%. California is now in its fourth consecutive year of drought, with this past winter yielding record low snowfall. The Sierra Nevada snowpack is one of the major sources of water for Southern California, but this year it is only 6% of its normal volume. Climate models suggest that in the coming years precipitation will fall more as rain and less as snow. The current system of dams and reservoirs may not be able to handle this — a gradual snowmelt over time is much easier to control than sudden deluges.

  • Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine Free
    FREE NINE INCH NAILS PRETTY HATE MACHINE PDF Daphne Carr | 144 pages | 03 May 2011 | Bloomsbury Publishing PLC | 9780826427892 | English | London, United Kingdom Nine Inch Nails - Wikipedia The album consists of reworked tracks from the Purest Feeling demo tape, as well as songs composed after its original recording. The album, which features a heavily synth-driven electronic sound blended with industrial and rock elements, bears little resemblance to the band's subsequent work. Conversely, much like the band's later Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine, the album's lyrics contain themes of angst, betrayal, and lovesickness. The record was promoted with the singles " Down in It ", " Head Like a Hole ", and " Sin ", as well as the accompanying tour. A remastered edition was released in Although the record was successful, reaching No. Pretty Hate Machine was later certified triple-platinum by RIAAbecoming one of the first independently released albums to do so, and was included on several lists of the best releases of the s. During working nights as a handyman and engineer at the Right Track Studio in ClevelandOhioReznor used studio "down-time" to record and develop his own music. The sequencing was done on a Macintosh Plus. With the help of manager John Malm, Jr. Reznor received contract offers from many of the labels, but eventually signed with TVT Recordswho were known mainly for releasing novelty and television jingle records. Much like his recorded demo, Reznor refused to record the album with a conventional band, recording Pretty Hate Machine mostly by himself. I became completely withdrawn.

Two people lay sprawled on the sand, the water gently lapping at their feet. A girl is one of the two, although she is mostly covered by a cream-colored section of a sail, a broken piece of mast crushing her right foot. The young man is lying slightly above her, a bloody gash maring his otherwise attractive face. He stirs, shifting slightly on top of the girl’s hand, the movement causing her to wake up. Her eyes flicker open, and she goes to sit up, then falls back down, wincing. She pushes the sail off her, revealing her right foot buried underneath the mast.

  • Harmonic Stasis and Oscillation in Björk's Medúlla
    Volume 16, Number 1, January 2010 Copyright © 2010 Society for Music Theory Harmonic Stasis and Oscillation in Björk’s Medúlla Victoria Malawey NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.10.16.1/mto.10.16.1.malawey.php KEYWORDS: harmony, stasis, oscillation, repetition, repose, tension, image schema, schemata, Björk, Medúlla ABSTRACT: Björk Guðmundsdóttir’s 2004 all-vocal album Medúlla provides an opportunity to explore processes of harmonic oscillation, the repetition of two or more alternating harmonies, and stasis, the continuous repetition of a single harmony. Qualities of timelessness are evoked through harmonic stasis, which allows for intricate vocal textures to come to the fore in songs such as “Komið” and “Öll Birtan.” “Who Is It” illustrates how local-level and global processes of harmonic oscillation interact and how traditional chord function may be negated through oscillation. To account for harmonic progressions that suggest tonal centricity, concepts of repose and tension are applied as interpretive models to passages from “Triumph of a Heart.” This paper offers a model to describe oscillation and combines models developed by Tim Hughes to explore other uses of harmonic oscillation and stasis. Overarching oscillations support extra-musical narratives suggested by song lyrics and music videos. These models of analysis can be applied to other songs by Björk, as well as other popular music, as an alternative to traditional methods of understanding tonal harmony, which break down for such songs. Received November 2009 The key musical procedure in popular music . lies in repetition and attendant processes of variation.
