...when you have an object to look at,” he says. The exhibit has inspired him to organize an additional exhibit in which other students who went on international spring break trips will bring their pictures together and relate them to poetry. This unification of visual and aural art forms creates a vivid look and sound to poetry that makes it accessible to a larger audience. Sifuentes’ innovative approach to poetry seeks to bring down the walls that can make poetry difficult to understand and relate to, encouraging us that there is nothing to fear when...
...clear why. Here, Collett actually creates an original sound by including an upbeat percussion rhythm. Aside from the beat, the track isn’t much different from its predecessors, but you’ll take what you can get after the first twenty-odd minutes of repetition. The aural pleasure is short-lived, however, as the second half of the album immediately returns to its former banal self. The closing track, “Waiting for the World,” will more likely find the listener simply waiting for the album to end. Once it finally does, it?...
...while still at England's tony Charterhouse public school, Gabriel, now 36, has an extensive rock pedigree. When he left the band in 1975 and went solo, he remained a restless creative force but gave up much of his commercial clout.

There are no introductions to characters: the focus...
...what makes Dudamel so special? The role of a conductor is at once comprehensible and untranslatable. The task is dauntingly clear: to mold about 100 anarchic artists into his own, singular vision. To do so, he must use only visible cues with musical players necessarily attuned to the aural - a sort of sign language not for the hearing impaired, but the hearing enhanced. Ed Smith, managing director of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, says that what makes Dudamel extraordinary is his ability to conduct in two directions, communicating with musicians and with the audience. This requires an athlete's physicality...
