...something like a realistic scene, then distilled it repeatedly. This is what happened with his magnificent Bathers by a River. When he started the large wall painting in 1909, it was a panorama of voluptuous women in bright colors. When he finished it seven years later, the women were angular and anonymous, the setting radically flattened, and the river had become another of those vertical black bands, with a stark white snake shooting upward along it like a bent poker...
...Chinese Whispers” shows, they’ve become quite adept at integrating melody into mathcore. Throughout the track, TDEP use mellow breaks to release the tension built up during their aggressive sections. For instance, about half-way through the song, Puciato begins to scream atop an angular guitar riff and steady drumbeat. Then, as Puciato’s screams grow more desperate, the drums charge into double-time. Catharsis comes as the band transitions into a steadier and more ethereal chorus...
...further shift the Earth's inclination, or figure axis (the axis around which the Earth's mass is balanced, which is slightly different from the north-south axis around which the Earth rotates) - in the case of the Chile earthquake, by about three inches. The law of conservation of angular momentum, however, requires that even under these exigent circumstances, the Earth's angular momentum stays constant, which means the planet must step on the gas (or the brake) to accommodate shifting mass. The same thing happened in 2004 with the 9.1 Sumatran earthquake that triggered the tsunami. That earthquake should...
...physics seems a bit arcane, consider that you probably spent much of the past two weeks seeing the angular-momentum principle in action - at least if you watched the Olympics. Earthquakes change the Earth's rotation the same way a twirling figure skater changes hers - by extending or tucking her arms in, for instance, to slow down or speed up accordingly. The only difference is that the skater does so decidedly more elegantly...
