...juvenile Jackson Pollocks, there is a new medium called Electro-Swirl...
...cartridge and needle assembly that you so casually drop onto your records is an extremely intricate "electro-acoustic transducer." An electro-transducer is a gadget, of which speakers, cartridges, and microphones are the most common examples, which converts acoustic energy into electrical energy into mechanical, acoustice form...
...interesting to note that all electro-acoustic transducers are highly individual in their performance; that is to say, no two microphones report what they hear in quite the same way, no two speakers sound quite alike in the same system, and, no two cartridges respond in kind to the same record grooves. Making a good and faithful e-a transducer is as much an art as a science at the moment; making a good phonograph cartridge may well require the highest degree of that...
Most of the apparatus is hidden ten feet below the ground. A linear accelerator will start the process by firing electrons into orbit inside a 240 ft. diameter doughnut." Attached to the hollow tube are huge electro-magnets which will further speed up the particles in radio frequency pulses. After eight milli-seconds and 10,000 turns, the high-energy electrons will be directed in bursts at targets in the experimental hall...
...Electro (by Sophocles) has one of those scenes of naked emotional intensity that have been missing on the stage since Olivier gave his howl of self-recognition as Oedipus. It comes when Electra, played by Aspassia Papathanassiou, sees the urn that supposedly contains the ashes of her brother Orestes.
