Click. Hummmm. Is everybody in the band plugged in? Everybody can be, for nowadays nearly every standard instrument from the violin to the tuba is getting wired for sound. So pervasively is electric current spreading through the music industry that amplified and amplifying devices made by far the loudest noises in Chicago last week at the annual trade show of the National Association of Music Merchants. One manufacturer alone (Vox, a subsidiary of Thomas Organ Co.) displayed 64 electronic instruments and gadgets. Some of the most notable-or at least most audible-new products on view: >The Conn Corp...
...target, a huge château staffed and stuffed with German brass. Abruptly the place begins to chatter with crossfire and exploding grenades. One by one, the dirty dozen get knocked off as they kill most of the officers and blow the building to bits in some of the loudest, bloodiest battle scenes since Darryl Zanuck made his armies work The Longest Day. In the end, Marvin makes it back to a base hospital with the sole remnant of the patrol. There, a general praises them for a job well done and fatuously commutes the sentences of the prisoners-posthumously...
STOCKHAUSEN: MOMENTE (Nonesuch). Karlheinz Stockhausen, the loudest noise in German electronic music, temporarily puts aside his tape recorder for something a bit-but just a bit-less far out. This time he turns on Soprano Martina Arroyo, backed by 13 instrumentalists and four choral groups equipped with sticks and boxes. The resulting hour-long piece is wild stuff all right; at times it sounds like a crowd clapping and hissing at a madwoman who jabbers and trills like a bird. The accompanying explanatory notes, formulas and diagrams are most scholarly...
Lord Nelson's Flag. Thus Rockefeller has been Romney's loudest cheerleader for a solid year. He has not only spoken out in public but has also urged other Republican leaders-including some who personally prefer Rockefeller-to join Romney's cause. He has turned over to the infant Romney organization the names of thousands of political contacts and onetime Rockefeller campaign workers. Romney researchers were given access to some 30 looseleaf volumes of his research material on is sues. A number of former Rockefeller aides have already signed with the Romney organization, and some...
...found myself quite skeptical of this film's advance billing. We still think of film, perhaps (even those of us who proclaim loudest its potential for subtlety), as a medium best suited for the rendering of external action, as opposed to the action of the mind. Better to film The Odyssey, we might say, than anything of Joyce's. Strick, however, has perceived that the action of the mind manipulates concrete images, and he has spared no energy in setting up and filming even scenes that flit for a mere second through the capricious minds of his characters...
