...experiment called BOOMERANG (Balloon Observations of Millimetric Extragalactic Radiation and Geophysics), which lofted instruments into the Antarctic stratosphere; from another named MAXIMA (Millimeter Anisotropy Experiment Imaging Array, which did the same over the U.S.); and from a microwave telescope on the ground at the South Pole, called DASI (Degree Angular Scale Interferometer...
Byron has devoted albums to the klezmer music of the eastern European Jews, to a variant Afro-Cuban sound he describes as "pan-Caribbean" and to a hybrid funk/hip-hop adventure with Biz Markie. His finest album may be 1996's Bug Music, a thrilling exploration of the jumpy, angular and surprisingly substantive music written for, among other things, 1940s cartoons. On his most recent disc, last year's A Fine Line, he brought together works by Stephen Sondheim, Ornette Coleman, Roy Orbison, Stevie Wonder and Giacomo Puccini. He was hoping to show, he wrote, "that a song untethered from...

The rakish look of the tall, angular 59-year-old enhances his image as an iconoclast, a romantic lead actor storming the stage of Japan's crusty political establishment. As Toshiaki Okazaki, a 59-year-old whale-meat vendor, said while Koizumi campaigned near his stall in Kita-Kyushu recently: "So many of them have deceived...
...dances were not exclusively set to music, however. In “A Tale Triste” by Maryvone Neptune ’01, the performers moved to a woman’s voice above a synthesizer and base. The angular, stuttering movements reflected the woman’s intonations but were united by the sound of the base. Other pieces utilized a mixture of sound and silence, as with “Shohmyoh.” This piece, choreographed by Ryuji Yamaguchi ’03, centered on the reverberations of drums and chanting.
