Psycho Mother Shower Curtain
First we had the Psycho house in LEGO, and now we have possibly the creepiest shower curtain ever. Available through Prank Place for 25 bucks, the curtain's image can be seen from one side only. Use Mother Bate's silhouette as a decorative statement or install the curtain white side out. Doing so will surely produce some interesting reactions from unsuspecting guests when they pull the curtain closed.

How to format your resume
A note on your training and experience…
See where I said "don't exaggerate!" under the training section? That is really important. For example: if you've been in choir all 4 years of high school, don't list your choir teacher's name and say you've had 4 years of vocal training. (Unless you've gone to her office hours once per week for individual help the whole time, they're simply not the same thing.) I'd also recommend against listing that you've had 2 years of ballet if you took it in the 1st and 2nd grades (unless you've actually kept practising). Why? Schools recognise potential. Your auditors will look far more kindly on the student with zero training but has raw talent and is coachable than they will on a student that lists they've had a considerable amount of training (OR experience — don't inflate your theatrical experience) but falls flat. They usually can tell the difference, and it will make the question that student's honesty and integrity. Don't be that person.
What do I need for my headshot?
Format & Size
Your headshot can be horizontal (10″ wide by 8″ tall) or vertical (8″ wide by 10″ tall). The important part is that it IS 8×10 (note that is NOT 8.5×11, or the size of a standard piece of paper — see the note below about your resume and headshot together). Colour is also preferred, but if, for whatever reason, you feel your photo looks amazing in black and white, then that's your call. If you cannot afford to print in colour or the 8×10, most colleges are understanding that high school students are not professionals, and your headshot will not make or break you. It is, however, in good form to understand the industry standard, and should take very little effort to comply.
Some headshots get printed with your name right over the photo and printing the photo 'full bleed,' which means there is no white trim. (If you do this, make sure your name is completely legible.) Most headshots have a 1/2″ to 1″ border around the top and sides, and a good chunk of white space at the bottom where your name gets printed. Keep the font clean and simple- no handwritten fonts, scripts, or fancy, hard-to-read text.
The look
In general, you want something that is going to be a shot of your full face down to about your shoulders. Please don't use something that's full body or awkwardly close-up on your face. It should also capture your personality, or even better, your type! The best headshots, whether they're taken professionally or not, are interesting to look at. They make a statement. If you're the class clown, tell your photographer a joke, be silly, laugh…and let him/her capture that. If you're the seductive bad boy/girl, think of a secret or something sneaky.
Overall, you want your headshot show the best version of yourself. You want to leave the room and have your auditors remember you, right? Give them a photo that, when they look at it, helps them to remember you and how great you were!
Hiring a Professional...
…is not necessary. Having a professional headshot is an investment, and if you have one taken, you will get use of it throughout college. (Once you graduate / before you showcase, you'll want to have professional headshots taken, regardless.) If you can afford to have them done, by all means, it is worth it. But if you can't, it's not that big of a deal. Perhaps you have a senior picture that would work; perhaps you have a friend or family member who is an amateur photographer that could help you out. Whatever you do, don't use a glamour shot type photo or go to a portrait studio in the mall.
Another note about professional photos is that, if you use a photographer, you need their permission to reproduce it. If you use one of your senior photos, you might need to order 8x10s directly from them, which is costly. Headshot photographers may be more money, but they typically give you your photos on a disc, and you can take them to your local Target or drugstore and have them reprinted for $1.
What to wear
I encourage wearing a solid colour, just like you would at an audition. I find shots with the subject wearing black or white to be uninteresting. Pick a colour that is flattering on you, but is also reflective of your personality/type. Girls, don't wear something that's going to show an uncomfortable amount of cleavage, even if you are the seductress type.
Girls, lets talk about your makeup and hair. It doesn't need to be extravagant (certainly not professionally done). I would encourage you to be as natural as you possibly can be. If you usually wear heavy, wing-tipped eyeliner, consider if that's going to read well for your headshot. Keep it simple and let your natural beauty shine through- that will be the most effective!
The most important thing I could tell you here overall is that your photo needs to look like you. Your auditors need to recognise you from your photo when you walk in. If you're a blonde in your photo, don't dye your hair dark before your audition.
Putting your headshot & resume together
Note that your headshot should be 8×10 (or 10×8). This means that when you print your resume on a standard piece of paper, which is 8.5×11, it will be larger. You need to trim your resume down (which may mean reformatting just a bit to make sure you're not trimming off text) so that they fit proportionately over one another. Once that's done, put them back to back and staple the corners together. Alternately, if your headshot is printed on paper with a plain white back, you can print your resume directly on the back!
Again, this is one of those things that is in good form and shows professionalism, but it will not make or break your college audition. (In the professional world, yeah…your resume may get thrown right into the trash if it isn't done this way.) If you don't have the resources to pull this off, don't sweat it, but it is sincerely worth the effort (or the effort of asking around for help) to get it done this way.

(1) Group productivity: why was it that groups are so ineffective in getting things done? (2) Communication: how influence is spread throughout a group. (3) Social perception: how a person's group affected the way they perceived social events. (4) Intergroup relations. (5) Group membership: how individuals adjust to these conditions. (6) training leaders: improving the functioning of groups (T-groups).
"The chief methodological approach would be that of developing actual group
experiments of change, to be carried on in the laboratory or in the field"
(Marrow, 1969, p.179). Group life was to be viewed in its totality, not on
an individual basis. Lewin vowed that C.C.I. would not just find working methods,
but would not quit until these methods were put into action. The group dynamic
studies should be carried out in real life situations, concentrating on fighting
prejudice. Going along with these, Lewin and his colleagues established three
major research areas of priority (Marrow, p.192):
(1) "The conditions which improve the effectiveness of community leaders who are attempting to better intergroup relations,"
(2) "The effect of the conditions under which contact between persons from different groups takes place."
(3) "The influences which are most effective in producing in minority-group members and increased sense of belongingness, and improved personal adjustment, and better relations with individuals of other groups".
Lewin's group dynamics has been utilized in such areas as educational facilities,
industrial settings, and communities. Great improvements have been made in
these areas of interest throughout the twentieth century.
Plans were put into motion to get the projects completed. The members of the gang kept in contact, and within a year, conditions had improved greatly. There seemed to be no change in attitude toward the Negroes and Jews, but aggression towards them had ceased.
(2) Law and Social Change: Lewin believed that prejudice caused discrimination, not resulted from it, and altering that behavior could change attitudes. "He held that if universities were required by law to admit students on merit and not on the basis of race or religion, the practice would bring new and more favorable attitudes" (Marrow, 1969, p.204). If the support of discrimination is taken away, the base will be weakened. Discrimination could be overcome by enforcing legislation with community education. Using this, the Medical School of Columbia University was sued for their quota on how many Jews were permitted to enroll. The case was settled out of court, which led to the revision of quotas in leading colleges and universities throughout the United States.
(3) Integration of Negro Sales Personnel: Facts were compiled about department stores not hiring Negro personnel because the customers may object to it. Customers were interviewed who had dealt with Negro clerks, those who had dealt with white clerks, and white persons on the street. Those twelve who responded in a prejudiced manor were asked if they would continue to shop at that particular store with Negro sales people. They said no, but previously five of them had been observed shopping at a counter with a Negro sales person. Over sixty percent of the others surveyed said they would still shop at the department store.
It was concluded that even if a customer is prejudiced, it did not influence where they shopped, or who they purchased goods from--a white or Negro clerk. Therefore, fear of sales declining was not supported by the evidence.

Calligrapher's Secret, TheRafik Schami; translated from the German by Anthea Bell
published 2011 5 1/4" x 8 1/2" • 444 pagesISBN 9781566568302 • paperback • $20.00 •
"Warmly observed, richly detailed, and often bold and exciting, Schami's fine portrait of life in Damascus, Syria, in the middle of the 20th century is filled with a compelling set of characters. Noura is a Muslim girl who looks like Audrey Hepburn. Rami Arabi, her father, a noted sheikh, is frustrated that those who attend his mosque "treat God like a waiter in a restaurant." Salman is a Christian boy, hated by his drunkard father and devoted to his dog, and to Noura. Nasri Abbani is a wealthy man from an important family, but also a hopeless playboy, his business kept afloat only because of his clever clerk, Tawfiq. When Nasri sets foot in the studio of Hamid Farsi, the leading calligrapher in all of Syria, tragic and wondrous events are set in motion that will affect all in the most emphatic ways. Schami, born in Damascus, is one of Germany's most respected writers, bridging Arab and Western culture with his exquisite storytelling. A novel to be savored"Publishers Weekly (starred review) More Reviews »
A new international bestseller from the award-winning author of The Dark Side of LoveIn the narrow streets of the old city of Damascus, a rumor is circulating: Nura, the beautiful wife of the famous calligrapher Hamid Farsi, has escaped. Why would she leave behind a life envied by so many? Could it be that she was the victim of a kidnapping by one of her husband's enemies?Even as a young man, Hamid Farsi is acclaimed as a master of the art of calligraphy. But as time goes by, he sees that weaknesses in the Arabic language and its script limit its uses in the modern world. In a secret society, he works out schemes for radical reform, never guessing what risks he is running and how far the purists are willing to go to stop him. His beautiful wife, Nura, is ignorant of the great plans on her husband's mind. She knows only his cold, avaricious side and so it is no wonder she feels flattered by the attentions of his amusing, lively young apprentice. And so begins a passionate love story-the love of a Muslim woman and a Christian man.
Rafik Schami was born in Damascus in 1946, came to Germany in 1971 and studied chemistry in Heidelberg. Today he is the most successful German-speaking Arabic writer. His novels have been translated into 23 languages and received numerous international awards. His bestselling novel The Dark Side of Love (Interlink, 2009) received a starred review in Publishers Weekly and was selected by PW as a Favorite Summer Read. Anthea Bell has won many awards for her translations; notably for W. G. Sebald's Austerlitz.

BonsaiBot Mark IV (photos below) was put into service tonight after a week of development and testing. It measures and reports on soil moisture and waters the Bonsai when it is too dry. The code is at GitHub. No documentation or circuit diagrams yet, but that is coming.
The sensor is made of two nails, spaced about 2 cm apart, which are driven into the soil of the pot, one near the corner, the other near the trunk. Wires lead from the nails to an Arduino Uno, with connections to ground and analog pin 0. Using a voltage divider with the soil as one resistance, a 100 KOhm resistor as the other, the Arduino monitors the voltage drop between the junction of the two resistors and ground. A measure of "wetness" ranging from 0 to 100 is derived from this reading and displayed on an LCD. Using a knob, aka potentiometer the user can set a wetness level at which watering begins.
Watering is controlled by a relay connected to one of the digital output pins. The relay operates a valve connected to a water bottle whose bottom it about 10 cm above the top of the Bonsai's soil level. When watering begins, it runs until the measured moisture level is "wet." At the moment, watering is set to wetness 65, which is "dry'. (Between "wet" and "dry" is "moist"). Water is administered for one second every ten seconds so as to give plenty of time for it to be absorbed. Seems to work.

In the beginning of the Peace Prize there was an idea. In 1949, the writer Hans Schwarz convinced a group of German publishers and booksellers with his idea to establish a foundation for a Peace Prize, to be awarded for the first time to Max Tau and subsequently to other humanists and writers. The founders' hope was that the prize might help to lift Germany out of its cultural isolation and to reintroduce humanist thought into society.
In the statute of the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade, they put this mission into words: "The foundation is committed to peace, humanity and understanding among all peoples and nations of the world. This is done by awarding the Peace Prize to personalities who have contributed to the idea of peace through their exceptional activities, especially in the fields of literature, science and art. Prize winners are chosen without any reference to their national, racial or religious background." The wording is inspired by Immanuel Kant's views on human beings, individual freedom and universal human rights and his deliberations of a peaceful coexistence between states that he introduces in his essay "Perpetual Peace".
Max Tau was awarded the "Peace Prize of German Publishers" in a private home in Alsterdorf near Hamburg in May 1950. This first award, with general director of the Northwest German Broadcasting Corporation, Adolf Grimme, acting as laureator, was received with unexpectedly great interest not only in Germany but also in Scandinavia and other countries. On the initiative of Friedrich Wittig, who would later become president of the Börsenverein, the private foundation of Hans Schwarz and the 15 publishers and booksellers was embraced by the entire book trade: The Börsenverein (German Publishers and Booksellers Association) took the prize under its wings.
Albert Schweitzer received the prize in September 1951 – for the first time in the Paulskirche in Frankfurt and under the new name "Peace Prize of the German Book Trade". Due to the international prominence and esteem the laureate and his laudator, Federal President Theodor Heuss, enjoyed, the Peace Prize in its second year had already developed into the most important German prize for peace and culture, and the award ceremony has been broadcast on television and radio since. From this time on, the Peace Prize has been a sign of hope and encouragement of a newly developed self-confidence achieved through critical reflection for the isolated Germany, humbled by its own history.
The message of the laureates is the lifeblood of the Peace Prize. Their names represent the most important currents in cultural and intellectual history of the 20th and 21st century. With their acceptance speeches the laureates provide an intellectual and artistic debate about the current political situation, involvement in peace policy and historical responsibility.
Not for the first time did a Peace Prize speech give rise to a major debate in society when Martin Walser spoke about the handling of German history in 1998. Controversial disputes about Karl Jaspers (1958), Ernst Bloch (1967), Léopold Sédar Senghor (1968), Ernesto Cardenal (1980) and Annemarie Schimmel (1995) as well as heated discussions about Günter Grass' laudatory speech for Yasar Kemal (1997) have made the Peace Prize an award that is considered to be a significant, if not the most important platform for the discussion about peace and the understanding between people. Thus, in October 2001, three weeks after the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, Jürgen Habermas has tried to find a first explanation model for religious fanaticism. In 2003, Susan Sontag has conveyed her view on the "clash between cultures" which had led to the "modern wars". In 2009, Claudio Magris has warned against the growing populism in politics and against regarding war as a matter of course.
Moving were the awards for Saul Friedländer, who read from the last letters from his family before they were brutally murdered at the concentration camps of the Nazis; and for David Grossman, who, in his acceptance speech in 2010, spoke about his son's death in the war between Israel and the Lebanon and at the same time explained why he nevertheless stands up for a peaceful solution to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.
"The citizen's crown of humanity" is how Carlo Schmid, former Federal Minister and laudator for Gabriel Marcel (1964), named the Peace Prize, it is unique in the world due to the great importance of the speeches that are held. For the Börsenverein of the German Book Trade as its founder, the Peace Prize is a commitment to freedom of expression and peace in the world.
The first decade in the history of the Peace Prize is overshadowed by the Second World War and the crimes perpetrated by the Nazi regime. However, the Cold War between the superpowers plays an ever-increasing role in the prize winners' speeches. The divided Germany is pivotal in the dispute about a new world order, and is a recurrent theme in the speeches held by the award winners and their laudators.
A glance at the group of the first ten laureates illustrates that, from the very beginning, the Peace Prize was intended to be an award for those who contribute towards peace, freedom and understanding, in their different positions. The award rapidly develops from its beginnings as a private initiative into an internationally recognised cultural event, helped by the high public profile of the prize winners and close relations between the Peace Prize and the Federal President.
The second decade of the Peace Prize is characterised by the internationalisation of the award - both in terms of the choice of prize winners as well as the issues that are addressed in the speeches. The focus is on discussions on the past and its consequences for the present – Cuban Missile Crisis, Cold War, the arms race, violation of human rights.
The Peace Prize decade ends in dispute with the student movement and with the values and social change that it propagates; a dispute that was by no means deliberate. Harsh criticism of the prize and of the choice of prize winners leads to changes in the statute and in the procedure of the ceremony. The Board of Trustees becomes more independent, and there is yet greater focus on the laudatory and acceptance speeches.
Many people remember the 1970s first of all as a colourful decade - and indeed, this is also true for the Peace Prize. The ten prize winners, viewed as a heterogeneous group, illustrate that the Peace Prize has arrived in the present and is dealing with current themes and problems: development policy, environmental and religious thinking, children and young adults and their education, the emancipation of women, terrorism and the politicisation of society that goes along with it.
This decade sees the signing of treaties with Eastern bloc countries which helps to ease political tensions between the two German states and within Europe. The slogan "Risk more democracy!" shapes West German domestic politics. At the same time terrorism by the Red Army Faction reaches a sad peak with the "German Autumn" in 1977, which also has an impact on the Peace Prize.
Societal debates in the 1980s focus on the peace movement and its campaigns such as human chains, Easter marches and mass demonstrations. In their speeches, the laureates draw attention to the imbalance that is caused by technology and the fraught arms race of the superpowers on the one hand and social development in the world on the other. The disaster at the nuclear power station in Chernobyl, forest decline ("Waldsterben"), the rising numbers of infections with HIV and the first alarming reports about climate change strengthen the awareness of how vulnerable the earth and mankind are.
The choice of laureates from Eastern Europe at the beginning and the middle of the century is a response to the first signs of political changes in the Eastern bloc countries. In 1989, only a few months before this upheaval radically changes the hitherto bipolar world, the Board of Trustees takes a very timely and politically charged decision by honouring Václav Havel with the Peace Prize.
In the fifth decade of the Peace Prize, the choice of award winners and their speeches provoke great public debates about the understanding and coexistence of religions and cultures; about the social interaction with foreigners and asylum seekers in Germany; and about the coming together of Germany and Europe.
More than four decades after the end of the Second World War, wars are again being waged in Europe. The unified Germany has to find its place in the world community, and German soldiers are deployed in crisis areas worldwide. At the end of the 1990s the so-called "Schlussstrich"-debate or concluding debate about the holocaust and crimes committed by the NS regime reaches its climax. This is also commented upon by the Peace Prize winners.
The first decade of the new millennium is being shaped by globalisation, rapid technological developments and – at the end of the decade – a worldwide economic crisis, the consequences of which are, as yet, unforeseen.
The attacks of 11 September 2001 against the centres of power in the USA, illustrate that violence transcends all boundaries. Religion and politics are inextricably and dangerously linked and thus become a central theme for the prize winners. Moreover, a new, second reality emerges in a virtual internet-based world devoid of physical boundaries. The reaction of the real world to this new development will be an important theme of the future.
The selection of ten laureates from eight different countries illustrates these developments and shows that there are no more isolated cultures in the world. Mutual understanding and learning from one another are of increasing importance for peace in the globalised world.

Online Backup Business Idea
Start an online backup business today and help small businesses protect their most valuable asset – their data! Read on to learn more…
The power and importance of computers will continue to grow as technology improves, but unfortunately small and medium businesses have not come close to keeping up with their data storage strategies.
These companies entrust their in-house PC's with customer lists, accounts receivable, marketing plans, payroll, and other key documents, but most are without a data or disaster recovery plan if something were to happen to their servers.
There are many risks out there that threaten computer data. These risks include hardware failure, bugs and hackers, lost passwords, malicious employees, and accidental erasure. This list should be enough to scare any business owner into researching a backup service.
When weighing against the time and resources that would be needed to continue operations without their data, fees charged by a quality data recovery service may seem small. The value of computer data is so high these days and with so many online companies offering ridiculously low prices, the question becomes a choice between providers. Why couldn't this be you?
How To Get Started In An Online Backup Business
There's actually an online backup service provider whose specialty is helping entrepreneurs start an online backup business. Remote Backup Systems has been in the business since 1987 and is the world's oldest provider of online backup software.

23 AD to 220 AD
7.5″ (19.1cm) high
|Gallery Location
The Han Dynasty, like the Zhou before it, is divided into two distinct periods, the Western Han (206 B.C.-9 A.D.) and the Eastern Han (23-220 A.D.) with a brief interlude. Towards the end of the Western period, a series of weak emperors ruled the throne, controlled from behind the scenes by Wang Mang and Huo Guang, both relatives of empresses. They both exerted enormous influence over the government and when the last emperor suddenly passed away, Mang became ruling advisor, seizing this opportunity to declare his own Dynasty, the Xin, or "New." However, another popular uprising began joined by the members of the Liu clan, the family that ruled the Han Dynasty, the Xin came to a quick end and the Eastern Han was established in its place with its capital at Loyang (Chang'an, the capital of the Western Han, was completely destroyed).
However, even as Chinese influence spread across Southeastern Asia into new lands, the Eastern Han Dynasty was unable to recreate the glories of the Western Period. In fact, this period can be characterized by a bitter power struggle amongst a group of five consortial clans. These families sought to control the young, weak emperors with their court influence. Yet, as the emperors became distrustful of the rising power of the clans, they relied upon their eunuchs to defend them, often eliminating entire families at a time. During the Western Han, the Emperor was viewed as the center of the universe. However, this philosophy slowly disintegrated under the weak, vulnerable rulers of the Eastern Han, leading many scholars and officials to abandon the court. Eventually, the power of the Han would completely erode, ending with its dissolution and the beginning of the period known as the "Three Kingdoms."
Sculptures of pigs are frequently buried alongside noble members of society during the Han Dynasty. Sculpted in all media, the pig was a symbol of wealth as well as a staple of the menu for the afterlife. As was the custom, sculpted effigies of animals were interred as food sources in the next world. While some animals were meant to labor in the next world, others, such as this boar, were clearly meant for consumption. The Han viewed the afterlife as an extension of our earthly lives. Thus, the things that we enjoyed in this world were continual enjoyed in the next. Likewise, as humans require food to nourish and sustain us while on earth, sculpted animals were buried to provide energy in the afterlife. This standing pig appears to comprehend his role in the afterlife. His snarling mouth with subtle fangs reveals his hesitance to be anybody's meal. In fact, the facial structure of this hog is quite reminiscent of snarling terracotta dog sculptures that served the same function. The defined musculature of the beast further emphasizes his power. However, it is this power that will be transferred to the deceased through the symbolic consumption of his "meat." Originally, this pig was created to provide sustenance in the next world. However, today, it nourishes our eyes with its tremendous beauty and fills our minds with its tremendous cultural and historical value.Login to view price

An approach to learning harmony and developing harmonic language that extends beyond traditional tertiary-chords.
Children's Songs
A set of short pieces from jazz pianist Chick Corea, here is #4:
Michael Finnissy
Find the English Country Tunes:
Threnody - Penderecki
An animated score of a seminal work of the 20th century:
Risset's Rhythm illusion
Playing with some familiar music
Some of the most extraordinary music we have with dramatic harmonic shifts:
His life was also rather strange and dramatic.
Lamento della ninfa from the 8th book of madrigals (performed by La Venexiana):
The text with English translation.
Pitch shifting
G09.pitchshift.pd in the help patches is an implementation of pitch shift with 2 overlapping delays. Miller explains the techniques in his online book. Here is a more detailed explanation, followed (click on next>>) by an implementation of pitchshifting library. You can download this tool and try it for yourself. This is one of the great things about Pd and open source - it allows anyone to contribute from their own expertise.
Ravel - Repetition
Ravel's famous Bolero (Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra)
One of the foremost composers of the 20th century. Some recordings available on ubuweb. His folk songs are more then arrangements (and here is Voci a later piece which he subtitled folksongs 2). The series of sequenzas (e.g. viola, guitar) for solo instruments are a fantastic way to learn more about the instruments and imaginative ways to write for them. Coro integrates voices into the orchestra. His Sinfonia, particularly the 3rd movement, was discussed extensively.
Pd patches
- A repository for Pd with an interactive website, examples patches, and documentation of a variety of project.
- Pd website includes a section of patches shared by users
- A modular synth build with Pd with some examples.
Automatic composition
In the words of the author:
"Autocousmatic generates electroacoustic music intended for acousmatic presentation. Based only on a seed directory of source sound files, a desired duration and number of output channels, the program creates multi-channel spectromorphological tape pieces. Audio analysis capabilities are used to discover 'useful' portions of sound files and assess processed files. The project investigates a deeper relation from machine listening to algorithmic composition tasks, and welcomes feedback."
Listen to some of the examples on the website and judge for yourself. And you can read Nick's CMJ article about the system.
Russolo - Noise music
The new instruments designed and built by Russolo - intonarumori:
And you can hear how they probably sounded. Futurists also used noise machines in combination with other instruments: Macchina Tipografica
Ondes Martenot
One of the early (1928) electric instruments. An introduction about the instrument:
Schoenberg's 'timbre' piece
In his book on harmony Schoenberg remarks that " it must also be possible to make progressions out of tone colours....progressions whose relations with one another work with a kind of logic entirely equivalent to that logic which satisfies us in the melody of pitches."
This is often linked to the 3rd of his orchestral pieces:
This is often linked to the 3rd of his orchestral pieces:
Henry Cowell
A pioneering and influential American composer. Described as "an inventor of sounds". Some of his short piano pieces are particularly striking:
Endless glissando
This is an illustrated video of a famous auditory illusion:
vowels - formants
A spectral view of different vowels:
film music - learning from the masters
It pays to study the music of the past (only ca. 40 years but that counts as distant past in this era):
Quartal harmony
- Debussy's 3rd etude 'pour les quartes'
- Ives The Cage.
- Also listen to composers such as Bartok, Schoenberg, Hindemith.
- These, in turn, found their way into jazz - such as Bill Evans (with Miles Davies) and others
Bulgarian choral music
Interesting harmonic, rhythmic, and melodic practice growing out of traditional Bulgarian folk Music. Both video and audio sections (for example listen to excerpts from POLEGNALA E TUDORA PILENTSE PEE or VESELI TRANSKI PESNI the later includes an instrumental section).
Grieg - Lyric Pieces
Construction of melody - elaboration, variation; phrase structure; use of simple harmony;
And the same melody in a different dress (+ unexpected modulation):
And the same melody in a different dress (+ unexpected modulation):
Octave scrambled melody
As Diana Deutsch demonstrated, spreading the notes of a melody across different octaves effects our ability to recognise the melody.
Technology project meets counterpoint rules
An interesting set of hardware/software instruments developed as an MA project from NYU based on aspect of Baroque music.
Psychoacoustics in the recording studio
Producer Bruce Swedien considers understanding the nature of sound and hearing as an essential element in developing your studio skills:
Determining the abilities and limitations of human hearing is invaluable to us involved in the production of music recordings. Any resource that produces sound for the purpose of human listening should take into account what the listener's ears are going to do with that sound, if we are going to take that resource to its utmost potential.He also mentions the importance of listening - especially to live instruments - and the acoustic environment. Read the full article.
Why so loud?
Perhaps a truism of composition is that most (all?) effects can be overused. Including compression:
Hearing explained
A good resource covering the basics acoustics and psychoacoustics, as well as the ear, the auditory brain, and to hearing loss and current research.
The Science of Music
four programs from BBC radio4 with Robert Winston and guests.
Unwanted Sounds
Christian Marclay:
And on a much lighter note:
And on a much lighter note:
Maryanne Amacher
Interesting talk about her sound art and how technology and listening shaped her work:
From a drummer's perspective
Here is drummer Gavin Harrison talking about working with less common time signatures (7/4 in this case):
Psychoacoustic & mixing
Spectral Music
Some examples:
- Gerard Grisey: Partiels
- Kaija Saariaho: Verblendungen
- Giacinto Scelsi: Konx-Om-Pax (though it wasn't called spectralism then).
- Jonathan Harvey: Still.
Percussion Music
- Luigi Nono's composition for percussion and live electronics:
- Edgar Varese Ionisation. And an article about the piece: Jean-François Charles - Organization of Scattered Timbral Qualities: A Look at Edgard Varèse's Ionisation.
- Graham Fitkin Hook.
a 'simple' song
My Funny Valentine
Messiaen - Quartet for the End of Time
Messiaen uses interesting approaches to both melody and rhythm particularly clear in movements 5 (starts around 18'20") and 6 (starts around 25'25"). A very good discussion of Messiaen's rhythmic processes can be found in this article:
Julian L. Hook Rhythm in the Music of Messiaen: An Algebraic Study and an Application in the "Turangalîla Symphony" Music Theory Spectrum , Vol. 20, No. 1 (Spring, 1998), pp. 97-120
Melody - flute solo
Two interesting pieces for flute: Debussy Syrinx and Varese Density 21.5 (various recordings available) the scores can be accessed: Syrinx and Density. Here is a good article examining both pieces with reference to melodic construction and the influence of the earlier piece on Varese's composition. And an interesting discussion of performance interpretation in Density.
Percussion instruments
A guide to many percussion instruments from The Orchestra: a user's manual project.
Genre and Style
Well crafted fun
with useful compositional lessons.
Xenakis percussion music
Rebonds A:
Rebonds A from Alpine Chocolate on Vimeo.
Some background about Xenakis and his work.
Live coding
Here is a documentary explaining what is live coding. And a version of Reich's Piano Phase done with live coding.
Analysing electroacoustic music
New sounds, new techniques, new approaches to understanding(?):
- Several Analysis articles from eContact.
- The orema project is a growing resource with analysis examples, discussion of approaches, and other useful resources.
- Rajmil Fischman's graphic score for Point-virgule.
- graphic score of Schaeffer's Etude aux Objects.
- And a temporal analysis of another Schaeffer study.
Soundscape Composition
Organised Sound 7:1 is an issue dedicated to soundscape composition with papers by some prominent practitioners including Hilegard Westerkamp and Barry Truax.
Issue 14:1, on the topic of sound art, also has good, relevant articles. While issue 16:3 (listening) is also highly relevant.
Andra McCartney on Soundscape composition and electroacoustic music.

Silent Drum from Jaime Oliver (not jamie) using Pd/Gem to map gesture to audio creating a new instrument.
Non-standard notation
When using live electronic manipulation of sound composer's often resort to non-standard forms of notation.
- Pedro Rebelo uses various notation idea including graphic scores and partially notated instructions in many of his pieces. Exposure is one example (video of performance and downloadable score) but you can also look at other examples on his site.
- Another score which combines conventional notation with graphics is Echoic by Edgar Barroso (scroll down to hear a recording of the piece).
- Other interesting examples include Harvey's Advaya and Pres by Saariaho (both for cello).
Cage - Ligeti
Kurt Weill - songs
'Ballade von der Sexuellen Horigkeit' sung by Ute Lemper; An arrangement of the same by L. Berio. And September song as performed by Weill's wife Lotte Lenya.
Louis Andriessen
- A short documentary about (and with) Andriessen.
- De Staat and De Snelheid.
- Music for Peter Greenway's film M is for Man, Music, Mozart.
- A paper discussing his composition De Tijd.
A recording of part 4 of De Materie (the full piece is available through naxos-music-library
Eric Satie
Perhaps the most often heard music of his (in films etc.) are his Gymnopedies Similar in spirit are his Gnossienne. His 1924 score for the short Entr'Acte film is quite interesting (the first 2'30" are a kind of intro. Keep watching).
Paul Lansky
American composer Paul Lansky has been involved with electronic music since the 70s. His piece Six Fantasies on a Poem by Thomas Campion uses a processing technique called linear predictive coding (LPC) to transform a recorded voice. He is using a single reading of the poem to generate 6 'versions' of the poem. Three of those are available on his website (compare, for instance, 'Her Reflection' with 'Her Song'). Notjustmoreidelchatter is another voice based piece. You can read more about Lansky, with detailed examination of several of his compositions.
Wild is the Wind
Keith Jarrett
A pianist worth knowing: the opening of Paris concert with notated transcription (minor errors included):
Vienna concert, his version of Summertime, and many more examples. An interesting film about his work across genres on stage and in the studio. And you can hear him playing the organ as well. And in collaboration with Saxophone player Jan Garbarek (another musician worth knowing)
Phenomenology of Sound
An introduction to Schaeffer's idea of the sound object, and a more detailed article explaining the idea of phenomenology in general and Schaeffer's development of it to sound.
Denis Smalley built on scheffer's idea to talk about the spectromorphology of sound. Here is an overview with list of additional sources.
Francis Dhomont's Acousmatic update gives his view as a composer influenced by Schaeffer and spectromorphology.
This chapter from Miller Puckette covers all aspects of delays very well with several examples of how you create and use delays for different effects in Pd. A video tutorial covering the basic Pd objects for delay and reverb. A different approach to reveb is using convolution (a technique that can be used very effectively for processing sounds).
Noise and Subtractive Synthesis
We use the term noise for:
Also see Truax about the meaning of noise.
A tutorial about using filters for subtractive synthesis (see also section 4-3 & 4-4 Music & Computers). Noise elements are actually used in music often, a very interesting example is the work of Italian composer Luigi Nono. Other examples include Ryoji Ikeda and Carsten Nicolai (alva noto) - Impulse or Fades.
and this is an article explaining different approaches to noise generation refining our understanding of the range of possible sounds:
a) auditory sensation arising in response to non-periodic sound waves/signals, with flat and dense spectral distributions (vibrational/physical frame of reference)
b) auditory sensation that is undesirable/unpleasant/unintended within a given context, interfering with auditory sensations that are desirable/pleasant/intended (i.e. sounds) within the same context (cognitive/semantic frame of reference, focusing on communication)

FM Synthesis
A basic introduction to frequency modulation in Pd and a video tutorial for building an fm patch . A demonstration of the Yamaha DX7. An extensive discussion of the properties of frequency modulation from Barry Truax (with links to examples from his compositions using this technique). And a technical explanation of FM with illustrations of the sidebands and more from another master of the technique - Bill Schottstaedt.
Several illustrations of configuration for fm-synthesis sounds (bell-like, brass-like, etc.). A general tutorial about fm-synth with reference to various software implementations.
This method was pioneered by John Chowning. Here he is explaining how he discovered this technique:
His piece Stria applies the Golden Ratio to constructing its fm-synthesised tones.
Amplitude and Ring Modulations
Two of the simplest forms of modulation. A good explanation of amplitude modulation from our friends at Columbia university. Ring modulation using Pd and a Video tutorial on amplitude modulation in Pd.
The German composer Stockhausen used ring modulation for his piece Mantra applying principles of 12-tone composition technique to the relationship between then pianos and the modulators.
Additive synthesis

Pd examples
As a programming environment the strength of Pd is in its flexibility:
- Two examples of beat slicing here and here.
- Using simple algorithms to vary loops.
- mimicking speech with a piano: Automatenklavier.
- Pd + Arduino = Solenoid Concert by Roman Häfeli.
- Using Pd for game music (also see link to article about this work).
- look at Andy Farnell's book Designing Sound
- Using mobiles phones as controllers: with TouchOSC or using CTRL
Learning Pd
- The examples that come with Pd itself (under Help menu) are the first source. Starting with the simplest constructs and methodically introducing topics with very good explanations.
- ctrl-click on an object to open the associated helpfile which is a working illustrations with good explanations.
- ctrl-click on the canvas and you get a list of Pd objects arranged by topics (e.g. scroll down to see how you handle MIDI etc.)
- The Floss Manual for Pd starts with how to install and goes on to explain basic synthesis ideas with Pd.
- Johannes Kriedler's tutorials are an excellent source as is his book Loadbang.
- Andy Farnell's book on sound design.
- An excellent set of examples patches from Alexandre Torres Porres (which will eventually result in a book)
- This video tutorial is the first in a good series from Dr. Rafael Hernandez.
But the most important thing to remember: you have to actually do. Open patches, change parameters, add objects, change the sounds. Reading about or watching others create patches isn't enough.
Visualising Music
http://www.musanim.com/ is a wonderful way of illustrating music without the use of traditional notation. For example looking at a Bach violin concerto:

Better Writing
Some useful resources about good writing including topics such as planning and organisations, researching, defining topics, and constructing arguments:
- Roediger's Twelve Tips for Authors
- What is academic writing from Dartmouth
- Advice about writing essays from UToronto.
One of the important skills to develop is the difference between description and analysis.
F. Rzewski's The People United Will Never Be Defeated is a set of variations on this song (with it's political overtones).
Composition Manifesto
An interesting approach from composer/producer Matthew Herbert - P.C.C.O.M. (With thanks to Henry Macleod.)
Bartok - Bulgarian Dances
It is possible to learn much about composition from Bela Bartok's Mikrokosmos as it is to learn playing piano through it . Here is a recording of Bartok himself performing the Six Dances in Bulgarian Rhythm. And here is each one individually with the score: 1 2 3 4 5 6. And here is a jazzy arrangement, and another one.
Traditional Bulgarian vocal music (in a good arrangement performed by a fantastic choir) uses interesting rhythmic and harmonic practices.

Music Theory
Aptly titles 'Music theory for musicians and normal people' This collection from Toby W. Rush is a wonderful resource about music theory from basic notation to chromatic harmony
Reich's Clapping Music is one of the most famous pieces using phasing as a musical device. An animated illustrating of the process. His Music for Pieces of Wood shares similar approach but achieves in in a slightly different way:
Piano phase, as the name indicates, applies phasing techniques but with pitched material. The first part of Tehilim (psalms) uses phasing to generate rich evolving textures. And discussion of the composition process:
Rhythm, Meter, Pulse
There is a world of opportunities beyond 4/4:
- Calculus by Stretta.
- Enemies - Nag Champa.
- Pyramid Song from Radiohead.
The music of Charles Ives is worth exploring in depth. Gong on the Hook and Ladder is a good place to start. The 2nd movement of his 4th symphony starts relatively simple but soon gets rather complex.
The studies for player piano by Nancarrow are interesting both from the perspective of music & (analogue) technology and in their innovative approach to composition rhythm in particular. Here is #8:

We might want to have more control over the facets that are being displayed on the Search UI. When custom facets are defined they are mingled with the global ones and it is difficult to differentiate between them on the Search UI. The global facets are interpreted as sitecore default facets, but they are global ones meaning they appear on all bucket items. If you are following my Sitecore Faceting series then yes this is the fourth one talking about removing the global facets and displaying the ones that you choose.
Below image shows the custom facets mingled with global facets,
Let's consider a hypothetical case where we need to display custom facets(News Release Date Range and News Category) related to our News bucket and which the content authors can take advantage of instead of using the global ones (Template, Language, Author, Date Range) which might not make sense to them.
The logic that we applied was to display only those facets which are selected on the "__facets" field available in the Indexing section.
We will take the same path as mentioned in my third post Sitecore Faceting – Ordering Sitecore Global / Default Facets: Part-3, let's define a processor that will be patched after "Sitecore.Buckets.Pipelines.Search.GetFacets.RunFacets" processor. This processor can be found at \App_Config\Include\Sitecore.Bucket.config.
Now let's writeup a class that will inherit from Sitecore.Buckets.Pipelines.Search.GetFacets.GetFacetsProcessor
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; using Sitecore.Buckets.Pipelines.Search.GetFacets; using Sitecore.ContentSearch.SearchTypes; using Sitecore.Data.Items; using Sitecore.Data.Fields; namespace sc80up2.SitecoreEntities.Facet { public class FacetSortOrder : GetFacetsProcessor { #region ...Public Methods public override void Process(GetFacetsArgs args) { if (args.Result != null) { //Get bucket item Item bucketItem = Sitecore.Data.Database.GetDatabase("master").GetItem(args.LocationFilter); if (bucketItem == null) return; //Facet field MultilistField fieldfacet = bucketItem.Fields["__facets"]; if (fieldfacet == null) return; List<string> lstCustomFacets= new List<string>(); //Get selected facet on a bucket foreach (var selectedfacet in fieldfacet.GetItems()) { if (selectedfacet.TemplateID.ToString() == TemplateIDs.FacetTemplateID) { //get facet field id, can be stored by comma seperated if (selectedfacet.Fields["parameters"] != null && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(selectedfacet.Fields["parameters"].Value)) { foreach (string str in selectedfacet.Fields["parameters"].Value.Split(',')) { lstCustomFacets.Add(str); } } } } IEnumerable<IEnumerable<SitecoreUIFacet>> facetListLists = (IEnumerable<IEnumerable<SitecoreUIFacet>>)args.Result; List<IEnumerable<SitecoreUIFacet>> newFacetListLists = new List<IEnumerable<SitecoreUIFacet>>(); foreach (IEnumerable<SitecoreUIFacet> facetList in facetListLists) { foreach (SitecoreUIFacet facet in facetList.ToList()) { foreach (string str in lstCustomFacets) { if (facet.ID.ToLower() == str.ToLower()) { newFacetListLists.Add(facetList); } } } } args.Result = newFacetListLists.Distinct().OrderBy(fl => (fl.Count() > 0) ? fl.FirstOrDefault().Type : ""); } } #endregion } public static class TemplateIDs { public const string FacetTemplateID = "{5C125B6D-C481-4C24-B5B9-9A23FE396BF0}"; } }
Code Explanation
Selected facets are first stored in a list (lstCustomFacets), these facets are read from the "__faceting" field. Iterate through all the facets that are passed to the processor via args and trying to match the selected one stored in the lstCustomFacets and return them from the method.
That was simple isn't it? So the crux of this post is you can have your own processor for faceting.
Below image shows the final outcome where only selected (can be custom or global ones) being displayed on Search UI.
Keep faceting and Sitecoring and yes do not forget to share your Sitecore Knowledge and learnings with the Sitecore Community.

The game includes 52 fully licensed stadiums in 12 states, such as new stadiums, and 30 generic areas equals into a total of 82. Diego Maradona was inserted as a legend into the Supreme Team, linking literary celebrities Pelé and Ronaldo, Russian goalkeeper Lev Yashin and French celebrity Thierry Henry for your own 95-rated card.
The story-based Journey style that premiered in FIFA 17 contributes to this instalment and continues the story below the name "The Journey: Hunter Returns". If one finished the first narrative, they will start FIFA 18 in precisely the exact same club - with characteristics and honours, like a Premier League name or FA Cup triumph are taken over. As for those beginning afresh they'll see a montage of crucial plot points, and then have the ability to pick from any existing English Premier League side. Alex Hunter, the 18-year-old principal character in Clapham, London, yields and is totally customisable. Players can unlock things including fresh hairstyles and clothes for Hunter.
Even though FIFA 17 secured Hunter into the English Premier League and Championship, in FIFA 18 players can now encounter new places, including Brazil and the USA. Ronaldo also features at The Journey two as a part of Alex Hunter's comeback story. FIFA 18 would be to include the third grade of Germany's Bundesliga, the 3. Liga. Additionally, it will include the Iceland national soccer team, and will have again the Turkish Super League after EA revived its permit together.
FIFA 18 is the series' sophomore year on Frostbite, after its change to EA's proprietary game engine this past year. And after becoming hands-on with the sport, you can definitely see the way the FIFA staff have grasped the search engine quirks. There's a definable gap in both appearance and movement. It's stunning to check at, using a huge improvement in texture and lighting.
However, obviously its all in the way that it plays, and there's an unquestionable progress. Games are more fluid, more natural and, possibly most of all, inconsistent. A brand new animation system sees the ball bouncing and bobbling at a more realistic manner, while gamers will shape and move their own bodies at a plethora of different ways that opens up choices in both defense and attack, while EA has also promised more control over both crossing and dribbling. Where FIFA has contrasted unfavourably with PES in the last couple of decades, is that EA's game may often feel a small automatic as elaborate but overlong animations perform. Obviously the way that performs long term remains to be seen, however in the brief term that seems to have been addressed in a few fashion.
Another area where FIFA was supporting PES is regarding team and player character. Teams and players believed more human in PES, enabling you to correct tactics and counter tops far better teams with intelligent strategies and physicality. EA are promising even human players will feel as their real world counterparts, however the important thing is if this thought filters throughout each of the players and teams to create for compelling, unpredictable match-ups. Maintaining a annual franchise new is tough, but EA Sports has been on a remarkable encounter with FIFA over the last couple of iterations. FIFA 18 is not a massive overhaul, but the several tweaks and enhancements make a match of soccer that is a whole lot more realistic, fluid and incredibly pleasurable.
The change to the Frostbite engine last year was enormous, giving the show a dramatic facelift. However, much like the change to some new motor, there were several quirks with strange player responses and blank faces. The new lighting system is the largest obvious graphical shift, and it actually provides that extra reach of realism which was missing earlier. Playing at a sun-soaked South American arena, the light bathes the shadows and players scatter around an almost sepia toned pitch whilst at the nighttime in Europe that the floodlights dip of the walls.
Stadiums feel a lot more alive, which look a little and insignificant detail but it really will help amp up the air. Each venue feel exceptional, with everything from the lovers into the pitch responding differently. Fans at Argentina wave banners and flags, throwing confetti that floats down on the pitch and remains there. A demonstration match of Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid, watched the lovers pile down from behind the target and conducts towards Griezeman because he scored a deft 90-minute winner. The audience feels alive in ways those regimented lovers in prior versions have not felt.

Tie-up for Tabby on Eight Shafts
Hi Madelyn!
I have a 4-shaft Mighty Wolf and recently purchased an 8-shaft Norwegian table loom. I am new to eight shafts and am wondering how to do tabby (plain weave) on an 8-shaft loom?
Thank you!
Hi Lucy!
You are reminding me of the day I said to my weavers' guild study group: "I just bought an 8-shaft floor loom. What is the tie-up?" I asked this because when I bought my 4-shaft loom (used), two treadles were already tied up to raise 1-3 vs 2-4 for tabby, and the four other treadles were tied to raise 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 and 1-4. I thought that was the tie-up for a 4-shaft loom (it worked just fine for whatever I had woven on it). I assumed 8-shaft looms also had a "tie-up" that just hadn't been made on mine yet because the loom was brand new. The study group members looked at me for a long time before saying: "Well, you have to change the tie-up depending on what you want to weave." (Actually, when they said that, I thought they meant that I had to tie-up a treadle, weave a pick, change the tie-up to that treadle, weave a pick. Luckily, that wasn't what they meant.)
That was only the first time I became aware of how deep and wide and complex the world of weaving is. This is, in fact, why weaving is both so very rewarding and wonderful and sometimes so very frustrating and challenging.
So, the tie-up on your 8-shaft loom will be whatever it takes to raise every other warp thread for one pick and all the other threads for the other pick using the threading you have chosen. (I love that in weaving we really need a vocabulary word for those other every other warp threads. The fact that it is so hard to put into words something that explains or describes weaving processes is just another challenging aspect of this craft!)
So, if your shafts are threaded 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-7-6-5-4-3-2, every other thread is either on an odd shaft or an even shaft. Plain weave (tabby) will be produced by raising shafts 1-3-5-7 vs 2-4-6-8. But if you thread two blocks of Atwater-Bonson lace: 1-3-1-3-1-2, 1-4-1-4-1-2, notice that raising alternate threads will mean raising shaft 1 vs 2-3-4. Some threadings will not allow tabby at all. An advancing twill threaded 1-2-3-4, 2-3-4-5, 3-4-5-6, for example, will not allow raising every other thread no matter what you tie up.
I hope this makes sense—and welcome to the truly wonderful and challenging world of weaving with more than four shafts.
If you have a weaving question we would love to hear from you! Please email Madelyn! Pictured: Starry Sky Placemats by Judit Ozoray Handwoven Sept/Oct 2016

I thought that you might be interested to see how a piece of my jewellery is created.
Generally I start with an idea, or a colour combination that pleases me. This mornings project is my "Apple Blossom" necklace and it began with a moss quartz pendant I had in my collection. (I'll blog another day about how these pendants are made.)
The first image is the beads from my kit I'm going to use to make up the necklace. Rose Quartz coin beads and small round beads, some adventurine small round beads and some tiny seed beads of dark pink to compliment. The tiny beads need to be in the design to space out the more expensive stones, but I've found that your eye doesn't "see" somehow. A necklace made without these spacing beads looks too cluttered and busy. The seed beads allow the valuable gemstone beads to shine somehow. (Sounds like another blog entry to follow on with and without seed beads… I'm just making myself more work.)
Moss Quartz is wonderful, in this example pale pink quartz with dark green markings. My choice of rose quartz and adventurine simply echos those colours and highlights the beautiful natural markings in the pendant.
Because the pendant is square in design I instinctively want to work with round and coin shaped beads, and to group those in odd numbers. The great thrill of designing jewellery is that I work on a bead board to layout all the stones before I begin to string them, so if something doesn't look right then I can just start again.
Here is the necklace a third strung. The section you can see will be the top left side of the necklace. The top most section which will take one of the closure findings and because it will be mostly hidden from view tends to be more plain and simple. The pattern between the two coin beads will be repeated around the necklace and will take the pendant attachment when we reach the mid-point. In this necklace the repeat pattern will be 1x rose quartz coin, 3x rose quartz rounds, 3x adventurine rounds, 3x rose quartz rounds, 1x rose quartz coin.
The finished necklace, closed with a silver lobster clasp and extender chain. I disrupted the pattern at the section around the pendant to hold the pendant in place and also to draw attention to the pendant.
I hope that this tutorial has been useful. It's actually very useful to have to explain this process so carefully, as I normally just trust my instincts and allow the necklace to develop organically. I didn't realise I put so much thought into balance and colour choices.
I'll get this necklace up for sale on my etsy page and will attach a link to the blog when I finish.
