...generally obsessed with uncertainty,” says Director Calla C. Videt ’09. “I work in a sort of haze of uncertainty.” Within the context of “The Untitled Project,” such uncertainty is almost logistical—the form of the event depends on the impact of revelation and surprise. The audience, she believes, should arrive knowing very little about the project, but instead should be drawn by curiosity; and the show, she says, is only effective when you don’t know what...
There was a two-story house across the eastern canal from the school that Ellis thought would be perfect, and we proceeded there carefully, in the dusty golden haze of late afternoon. The soldiers handed out pencils, plush toys and cheese crackers to the local kids, who gathered as the patrol snaked slowly through town.

Rock is the cooing on "Gimme Shelter", the dripping guitars on "Purple Haze", the riff that brings Pete Townshend's nimble strumming to new heights on "Pinball Wizard." It's Thom Yorke's nasal voice on "Paranoid Android" and the way Nirvana somehow managed to sound loud and muffled at the same time. But is it the saccharine harmonies of Abba's "Dancing Queen"? Pudgy dudes in Led Zeppelin T shirts would probably say no, but the 30 music historians, journalists and industry executives who make...
