Tutschku’s “Invisible Bell Tower,” which was installed last Tuesday, resonates every hour from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., playing bells from all over the world. A computer program selects a specific set of bells each hour and projects the sounds through an amplifier and a large speaker...
Tutschku, who is also the director of the Harvard University Studio for Electro-Acoustic Composition, has been collecting the bell sounds for the last 10 years as he traveled throughout Europe teaching about electro-acoustics...
Tutschku has placed each bell sound in a particular “family” associated with a particular time of day. The family that is played in the early afternoon, for example, includes the bells that originate from a small island in Greece...
...luckier Pioneers like Grier and Dufresne, the distance between the initial "Eureka!" moment and a marketable business can be breathtakingly brief. It's true that they were not the first to develop an optical trap. This has been a hot area of scientific inquiry at least since 1986, when Bell Labs invented one. (Grier had done a postdoctoral fellowship at Bell Labs.) Back then, Bell Labs scientists invented a single-beam "optical tweezers" that trapped just one substance. That was a monumental breakthrough, but scientists began to ponder traps that could catch multiple substances and move them from one point...
