Fleming returned from the intermission wearing a floor-length plaid stole of mixed Scotch-Italian influence, and began a Debussy set with a soaring note in “La Flute de Pan.” The pensive, worried mood of this piece soon segued into the sublimely happy—and rather seductive—love song, “Le Cheverlure.” The third Debussy song, “Le Tombeau des Naides” had a few trills here and there, but was not outstanding overall...
...sometimes peripheral, instrument, sound or refrain. This is, in parlance, the gimmick. The gimmick defines the band, makes it unique, is its lifeblood—without the gimmick, the band cannot musically subsist in any recognizable form. Familiar gimmicks include (or, better, should include) Jethro Tull’s flute, Jimi Hendrix’s Arbiter Fuzz Face, The Police’s delay pedal and Peter Frampton’s Talkbox—all part and parcel with their performers’ legacy...
This bronze sculpture of the googly-eyed, flute-nosed Doo Doo commemorates its creator, Street Puppeteer Igor Fokin. Fokin moved to Harvard Square from Russia in 1993 and began performing a 15-minute marionette act that included Doo Doo, his favorite puppet.

To record it, Samuragoch browbeat the producers into employing a 200-piece orchestra, including musicians playing such traditional instruments as a Japanese flute and taiko drums. The result is both haunting and inspirational, reminiscent of majestic scores for films like Lawrence of Arabia. "In the 20th century, film became the palette for composers, the way opera was before," Samuragoch says. "Today we have video games...
