Zero-G Total Funk CD Booklet (except when it’s supposed not to be), but in the way that ALSO AVAILABLE FROM ZERO-G: the whole library is forced into easy-to-manage tempo sets of 120, 125, 130, 135, and 140bpm. Gloriously, this covers TOTAL HOUSE all the samples including the wonderful collection of guitar riffs and licks, synth phrases and electric bass loops. With a name like Zero-G you can expect TAS CD 94 quality, but the sheer ease of use and clever layout of this library will make Total House both a pleasure to use and source of inspiration for a long while to come. There are rich pad textures and a vast array of retro analogue wizzes and bleeps, and the guitar and bass licks are highly usable and cover a wide range of house sub-genres from ‘70s funk to heavily processed semi- rock sounds. For dedicated programmers with time to spare, there are a good number of multisamples of many of the instruments, and (which is more important), they are usable multisamples (not just bottom C and middle C, like some other sample CDs I could mention). There are a good number of weird vocal samples (both sung and spoken). The drum loops are universally excellent - there seem to be so many finely tuned ‘kickin’ house breakbeats stuffed onto the disk that finding something that wouldn’t work in your house track would, I imagine, be almost impossible. Zero-G’s Total House is a dedicated product in a specialist field that The reviewers agree - this is the succeeds on a number of levels. It would be worth the ultimate in house collections! asking price for the drum loops alone, but as it stands 3 CDs full of the toughest house grooves, loops, basses, synths, Total House gives you over 144 track-minutes of raw sample vocals and FX.

  • Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67
    Listening in Double Time: Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67 Marc Howard Medwin A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: David Garcia Allen Anderson Mark Katz Philip Vandermeer Stefan Litwin ©2008 Marc Howard Medwin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MARC MEDWIN: Listening in Double Time: Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67 (Under the direction of David F. Garcia). The music of John Coltrane’s last group—his 1965-67 quintet—has been misrepresented, ignored and reviled by critics, scholars and fans, primarily because it is a music built on a fundamental and very audible disunity that renders a new kind of structural unity. Many of those who study Coltrane’s music have thus far attempted to approach all elements in his last works comparatively, using harmonic and melodic models as is customary regarding more conventional jazz structures. This approach is incomplete and misleading, given the music’s conceptual underpinnings. The present study is meant to provide an analytical model with which listeners and scholars might come to terms with this music’s more radical elements. I use Coltrane’s own observations concerning his final music, Jonathan Kramer’s temporal perception theory, and Evan Parker’s perspectives on atomism and laminarity in mid 1960s British improvised music to analyze and contextualize the symbiotically related temporal disunity and resultant structural unity that typify Coltrane’s 1965-67 works.

This study does not pretend to be comprehensive, but will atte~pt, within the areas designated by the titles of chapters 2, 3, and 4, to trace this development. The terms early 129ems and later poems will apply to the poetry finished before and after 1939, which was the year of the publication of The Map tl Love. A number of Thomas• mature poems existed in manu- script form before 1939, but were rewritten and often drastically altered before appearing in their final form. .,After the funera1° ' i is one of these: Thomas conceived the idea for the poem in 1933, but its final form, which appeared in The Map .Q! ~' represents a complete change from the early notebook version.

  • Real-Time Encoding of Motion: Answerable Questions and Questionable Answers from the Fly’S Visual System
    From: Motion Vision - Computational, Neural, and Ecological Constraints Edited by Johannes M. Zanker and Jochen Zeil Springer Verlag, Berlin Heidelberg New York, 2001 Real-Time Encoding of Motion: Answerable Questions and Questionable Answers from the Fly’s Visual System Rob de Ruyter van Steveninck1, Alexander Borst2 and William Bialek1 1NEC Research Institute, Princeton, USA; 2ESPM-Division of Insect Biology, University of California at Berkeley, Berkeley, USA 1. Introduction Much of what we know about the neural processing of sensory information has been learned by studying the responses of single neurones to rather simplified stimuli. The ethologists, however, have argued that we can reveal the full richness of the nervous system only when we study the way in which the brain deals with the more complex stimuli that occur in nature. On the other hand it is possible that the processing of natural signals is decomposable into steps that can be understood from the analysis of simpler signals. But even then, to prove that this is the case one must do the experiment and use complex natural stimuli. In the past decade there has been renewed interest in moving beyond the simple sensory inputs that have been the workhorse of neurophysiology, and a key step in this program has been the development of more powerful tools for the analysis of neural responses to complex dynamic inputs. The motion sensitive neurones of the fly visual sys- tem have been an important testing ground for these ideas, and there have been several key results from this work: 1. The sequence of spikes from a motion sensitive neurone can be decoded to recover a continuous estimate of the dynamic velocity trajectory (Bialek et al.

  • The Beatles and the Crisis of Self-Identity
    Sosland Journal 77 THE BEATLES AND THE CRISIS OF SELF-IDENTITY Jared Gutzmer “Ringo- a lovely performer. George- a mystical unre- alized talent. But John and Paul, Saints John and Paul, were, and made, and aureoled and beatifi ed and eternalized the concept that shall always be known, remembered and deeply loved as The Beatles” -Leonard Bernstein The Beatles are one of the most popular bands of all time. This is an undisputed fact no matter the location. They were so popular that in America, they had to stop touring due to the screaming fans which caused the band not to be able to hear themselves. Never before was there a group that was so incredibly popular in history. This popularity and other fac- tors led the members of the Beatles to change as individuals and as a group as they matured musically and mentally. Their identity shifted from a group identity to a self-identity. From the Beatles fi rst album, Please Please Me, to their last, Let It Be, the shift in their identity can be seen through their music and the appearances that led to individualism and eventually their downfall. 78 Sosland Journal The Music “It would not seem quite so likely that the accompany- ing fever known as Beatlemania will also be success- fully exported. On this side of the Atlantic it is dazed stuff.” -Jack Gould, New York Times television critic The Beatles music and lyrics changed drastically from their fi rst to last album due to adapting to a changing soci- ety, musical maturity, and their increased popularity.

Page 8 SECTION A Recent sexual assault raises safety issues By Melissa Nielsen CAMPUS EDITOR The recent sexual assault of woman on cam- pus has reiterated the need for police and cam- pus sexual assault services for the ongoing problem of rape. On Oct. 9, at about midnight, an unidentified woman said a man she knew sexually assaulted her in Thomas Hall, a police report said. Though the report was filed, no charges will be filed, said Adam Due, chief public safety officer. He said the woman wanted to make police aware of the situation, but did not want to take the case any further. Due said the victim knew the offender, did not seek medical attention and police were not aware of any alcohol use. Tom Edwards, president of the board for Sexual Assault Crisis and Information Center, said going to police is one option sexual assault victims have, but victims who feel they need help should call professional help lines in their area after an assault.
