...hang inside the station, creating a soothing audio-visual experience. But Christopher Janney, whose project "Soundstair" creates nothing but confusion at MIT, has also been unleashed in the station. Although Janney insists his intricate sound system presented only as a drawing will be coordinated with Shingu's chimes, his "sonic gates, soundstairs and sound central" all emit noises as one moves through the station. Janney calls it the "further adventures of translating people's movements into sound," and an adventure it will be. He can't quite seem to put his finger on what he wants to do: "Tuesdays...
Sure, there have been plenty of John Cochrane's sonic booms from the point, Gino's wild-eyed dashes along the boards, and George's slick moves through the savage B.U. defense to savor. And there were the ECAC upsets over UNH in '76 and the Beanpot title in '77. But really, it's been a long, slow slide to where we are now--the pits...
...night of Aug. 13 was one that Lucy Parlange, wife of a plantation owner near New Roads, La., will never forget. She recalls: "We were sitting up here on the gallery, when we heard this terrific sound, like a sonic boom. I thought the air conditioner in the kitchen had blown up." What had really blown was a giant natural-gas well that probably will make Lucy and her husband, Walter Parlange, royalty rich...
Although the Soviet Tu-144 became the first civilian aircraft to break the sonic barrier in 1969, the Anglo-French Concorde soon shot several sound-years ahead of its Russian rival with the inauguration of regular transatlantic passenger service in 1976. Last week the Soviet Union belatedly entered the supersonic sweepstakes by initiating regular Tu-144 flights on a little-traveled run between Moscow and Alma-Ata, an industrial city of 860,000 near the Chinese border. Price of a one-way ticket on the once-a-week flight: $113. TIME Moscow Bureau Chief Marsh Clark was the first Western...
...last in this review and it shouldn't, for this concert is a collaboration of two soloists. David Moss's collection of instruments is highly visual as well as audible, some hung from a metal frame: drums, gongs, warped cymbals, pot covers, a Chinese zither. Further downstage stand three sonic sculptures: clusters of metal rods placed on hollow blocks which sound otherworldly when stroked or bowed. And Moss makes vocal sounds too: I thought he was just clearing his throat and settling into his funhouse of instruments before I realized the concert had begun. Paxton joins Moss for one instrumental...
