...Michel Gondry. Gondry demonstrates an acute perception of the visual manifestations of music, and in an astounding triumvirate of videos, gives each aspect of the song its own aesthetic texture. The first, Daft Punk’s “Around the World,” displays each instrument and vocal part in the song enacted by a costumed dancer; the Chemical Brothers’ “Star Guitar” replaces the people with aspects of a landscape viewed from a train window; and Gondry’s latest, the White Stripes?...
Rosenworcel describes the new setup: “We pretty much filled a room with every sort of instrument you could think of, other than two guitars and some drums...
Which raises the possibility that Caperton may, in his well-intentioned effort to ameliorate schools, ruin his main instrument for doing so.

Caperton believes the SAT should be a tool of social change as well as of social measurement--that it should serve communitarian ends even as it tries to give reliable, valid scores to individual kids and colleges. "This [new] test is really going to create a revolution in the schools," he says...
Acting on his desire to create new and exciting music, Greunbaum invented the world’s first relativistic keyboard, the Samchillian Tip Tip Tip Cheeepeeeee. “It’s my odd little contribution to society,” he said.

Those excited to hear the tuba will be disappointed, as Brian Wolff’s instrument mostly fades into the background as a barely audible walking bass. In Wolff’s few moments in the spotlight, his lower register booms while higher notes often slide out of tune...
