 | Siegfried's Horn Call Hans Pizka plays Siegfried's horn call on a vienna horn. The Vienna horn (German: Wiener Horn) is a type of horn used primarily in Vienna, Austria. It is used throughout Vienna, including the Vienna Philharmonic and Wiener Staatsoper. [During the nineteenth century, a number of experiments were made in adding valves to the natural horn to enable it to play chromatically without the need for hand-stopping. These experiments included adding Piston valves (as used in modern trumpets) to a single F horn. The horn was still crooked to play in base keys other than F. The Vienna horn uses a peculiar form of double cylinder valve associated with the Viennese firm Uhlmann of the 1840s known as a Pumpenvalve, which is distinct from although similar to the standard piston valve. Unlike rotary valves, the pumpenvalve allows the air to flow straight when the valves are not actuated. When pressed, each valve redirects the air stream 90 degrees in one bend, lessening the resistance felt by the player. This type of valve is one of the many contributing factors to the incredibly liquid legato that is one of the trademarks of the Viennese school. The internal diameter of the Vienna horn is also smaller than more modern horns - this bore size and shape is actually very close to the design of the valve-less natural horns. The removable crooks (usually an F and A and/or Bb) are also smoothly tapered for the length of the horn, so there is no "compromise" like that found in modern double and triple horns. Although subsequent developments, including the rotary valve and double horns, supplanted these horns in most places, the pumpenvalve horn was retained in Vienna due to it sounding more like the natural horn; a more mellow sound, an arguably smoother legato playing. This is due in part to the piston valves and in part to the larger bell-flare still used with these instruments. The Vienna horn has remained virtually unchanged since the mid-nineteenth century. Hornists who use the Vienna horn also use a natural horn mouthpiece, which is convex. A standard French horn mouthpiece is concave, partly to facilitate the playing of lower notes. |

 | Properties of Non-newtonian Fluids www.choiceelectrophysics.com (The best part of this video is at 1:00) Here is the classic YouTube demonstration of the unique properties of non-newtonian fluids. This experiment involves two very rare ingredients...cornstarch, and water! Small amounts of water are added to cornstarch, while digging a screwdriver or fork or whatever into it to try to mix. Keep adding water until it begins to behave as a fluid and start to flow. Non-newtonian fluids are fluids who's viscosity changes with applied shear stress. So what does that mean? It means that this stuff thickens, instantly, if something tries to push into it quickly. If you made a large batch of this stuff and hit it as hard as you could with a closed fist, it will result in nothing more than a SMACK! and your hand stopping on the surface of the liquid. Amazingly, this substance behaves like water when it's pushed into slowly. Due to its mechanical properties, it responds VERY strangely to low frequency vibration. We used a signal generator + audio amplifier to drive the speaker, at frequencies between 5 and 200Hz, at a power level of 20 - 70W. |

 | magazine 13/08 mag4musicians news & infos magazine 13/08 mag4musicians news & infos First we'll have some video tips on E-Drums. in the 1st one Bazybeatz demonstrates the posiibilities forn an advanced independant lefthanded play. For example he assigns one additional pad to the bassdrum so it can be played by pedal and left hand. Thus it is far more easy to swing up and does offer more options for playing variations. Left Side Versatility With Electronic Drums http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kTDHy_0GyY http://www.youtube.com/bazybeats We've got a video in stock of a presentation of the Alesis Trigger I/O. As this is a rather unspectacular looking device it's capabilities for practical usage are not evident at once. n two video Brian Allison of Pintech explains in detail how the Trigger I/O can be setup and used. Brian Allison von Pintech with Alesis I/O and DM5 1 of 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEvIHrsNgI8 Pintech with Alesis I/O and DM5 2 of 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9doOLtYWkdM http://www.youtube.com/HopeDrums This novelty looks quite promising as a performancetool on stage and for DJs. But a closer look at the instruction manual gives rather disappointing clues. It does only work with the accompanying software player and special type of songs. There is no option visible to add one's own songs to it nor does it offer any MIDI connectivity. Thus we draw the conclusion it's unfortunately rather a toy for private party rooms. beamz Music Performance System http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpDZ3WotLXY Useable on stage instead is Arnoon's 'Performator' which is some kind of MIDI Light harp to control nearly any external sounddevice. This unique item has been used live already in 1999 and is currently reworked. Regular PAR lightspots are used in combination with light dependant resistors to control MIDI. ARNOON The Performator http://youtube.com/watch?v=HPg-yBe_PKY Far more versatile and thus more complex is the Lightboard LB1 developed by musician and technician Stephan Sarrazin more commonly known as 'Stoffel'. This MIDI light controller does even allow a more pronounced playing as even the height of the hand stopping the lightbeam is tranformed to MIDI data which can be assigned to various parameters like e.g. velocity or filter control. All required instructions and circuitry to build an LB1 can be obtained from Stoffel's homepage. Ok, this unit requires a lot of space thus a more portable version would better for touring musicians. http://www.stoffelshome.de/lightboard.html http://www.lady-chaos.net/ Related to our topic vintage synths we've found a very funny video with a Minimoog which is well known as the classic synth in general so there is no need to tell more about it. Anyway the video clip is accompanied by a cute little story about Lindsay, Britney, Barbie and Ken.

 | Season 2-Hold my hand [Chapter 34] {2 weeks later} [Jaime] My side still hurts a bit, not as much as before but it's still little pains that make me flinch. It wasnt all that bad though. Rae's head has been healing. She's been with us for the past two weeks and it's like she family already. Im actually hoping she can actually stay with us, you know for good. That'd be the best. I've had my lonely moments where Alex comes over and him and Rae cuddle and kiss and do all that lovey-dovey stuff. Gosh how much I miss Nick right now. I just left the room, seeing as they were being all cute together, so I'd rather not watch. So now Im on my couch..watching tv. Oh great just what I need to see, Nick on tv. Not that I dont enjoy it. Trust me I do, but it just sucks that I cant physically be with him. Sighs. -------- The boys are now doing a meet and greet. Each guy is positioned behind a table markers in hand. About a million flashes going off [so to speak]. They greet each person and smile. Take pictures with them and sign their posters.. "Next on line" Big rob called. A young girl walked by, she shook Nick and Joe's hand stopping at Kevin. Their hands still connected he stared at her. She looked so much like Lauren it made him want to break down so badly. "Hi, Im cassidy and I absolutley looove you guys. Especially you Kevin!" She said super excited and smiled. The same smile Lauren always gave Kevin. His heart stopped for a second. She looked so much like Lauren. It ached him to see anyone who looked like her. "Thankyou so much" He said coming back to his senses. Cassidy gave him a weird look but then smiled back. She asked for a hug and he gave it to her. Gah; the same smell of the perfume he thought. This was killing him. After she left they continued the meet and greet for another hour then heading back to their tour bus. [Kevin] I've been trying to reach Lauren for the past 2 weeks. Her phone must be dissconnected. I can't reach her whatsoever. She hasnt even tried to call me or anything, and it kills me to think that this might be officially over. It can't be. It just.. cant. [Lauren] I'm at work. Ugh! This job is getting kind of boring. But the pay is great so I can't complain. It's not really all that busy today. But when guests come up to me I'm a little bit out of it. Everything I see, or anything someone does reminds me of Kevin. And it's killing me! I have got to stop thinking of him. Seriously. I just.. have to get over him. [Sam] "That'll be 24,50" I say to the customer purchasing the Cd. He gives me a smile, I raise an eyebrow. I know he is not flirting with me. He hands me the cash and his hand 'mistakenly' brushes by mine. He winks at me and I roll my eyes giving him back his change. "See you around beautiful" He gives me another smile and I just shake my head in disgust. I take out my phone but just to my luck it's dead. Good thing I brung my charger. I plug it behind me and just sit behind the cash register. Im reading a magazine and a lady asks me for help, so I go around the counter and go and help her.. --------- [Joe] I miss Sam. More than anything. After the Kevin and Lauren thing I dont even dare mention anything that would remind him of her and that includes Sam and Jaime. So here I am, behind the tour bus in an abandoned park sneaking around to talk to Samantha. It rings about 10 times. But she doesnt pick up. So i decided to leave her a message.. ------- [Nick] "Cause I can go across the world see everything and never be satisfied.. If i could see those eyes.." I smile down at my paper. I hope Jaime loves this song. When I see her, which I hope would be soon. Im going to sing it to her to show her how much I really do care for her. [Sam] Finally off of work! That old lady was bugging me asking me if I had some Cd from the year 1569 or something. I pull out my phone and check. One missed call from Joe. How could I miss this? I see one voicemail from him and I press it to my ear to hear what he said. Hey Sam. It's Joe. Where are you women! Pick up your phone! I miss you soo much right now. It's becoming so hard to actually not be able to hear your voice everyday. Even though we've been away before I still cant get used to not being with you. I dont want to bore you with my message. But I just wanted to see how your day was. Mine was busy, as usual. Pretty good actually. But it would have been better with you in it. So, I guess I'll callyou later, oh! And one more thing...I love you and once again I miss you so much, and I miss holding you and I miss everything about you. Ok I think this message is long enough. Bye Sam. I love you once again. I look at the phone and hang up. I smile all the way home. That was the cutest thing I have ever heard. If only I had him in front of me say he loves me. That would just make me the happiest person ever. -------- Cute much?! :] Well the Joe and Sam Part. P.s Im fast fowarding to the couples once again! yeyyyyy lol |
 | In The Life Of An Obsessed Jonas Fan (Intro) THIS IS MY FIRST ONE AND IT REALLY SUCKS SO BE NICE...btw its just the intro to let you know about the main character, the actual stories will be ALOT better. The sound of SOS grows louder on her ears. Automatically she slaps her hand onto the left side of her bed. She wraps her fingers around the cool, smooth feeling of her razor and flipped it open. She hit turn off and the music stopped immediately. Amber cracked her eyes and the light stung. She grabbed the top of her backboard and pulled herself into a sitting position and looked around her room still half asleep. She grabbed her silk duvet cover on both sides of Nicks fro and throws it off of her. All her joints are still so she stretches her body in a star shape and rolls out of bed. She grabbs her ipod off of her night stand and turns the volume up until all she could her is Tonight. She, as silently as possible, danced around her room being careful her feet didnt thump too loudly of her plush carpeting. Amber walks up to her giant poster she got at her Burnin Up Tour concert. Her favorite our of the few hundred on her walls. She touched her finger tips to Nicks cheek , held them there for a few seconds, then let them slide down his right arm until the poster ended and they fell limp next to her thigh. All the memories of her meet and greet, looking them in the eyes and hugging them and just feeling that one moment of total happiness started flooding back in her mind making her feel light headed. Starting at the floor and slowly working its way up, her vision started to blur. A single tear rolled down her right cheek leaving a warm strip on her face. She quickly wiped it off with the back of her hand, stopping the wave of memories before it crashed, and went back to getting ready. The rest of her morning routine went by in a blur. Brushing teeth, straighten hair, get dressed, and go through binder to make sure all her homework was done. After grabbed her Camp Rock back pack, Amber flew out the door and skipped down the steps two by two, grabbed a bagel off the kitchen counter and was gone. |
 | His Name is Jonas Chapter 4 Part 1 hey guys! So sorry for not posting last night! you can blame chemistry for that! ok..so Chapter 4 is LONG so its in parts! and i have an announcement... *drumroll* TOMORROW IS MY 16TH BIRTHDAY!!!!! yaay..so the whole point for that is I probably wont be able to post tomorrow because I am going to get my license..but I will write and post a lot thursday and friday! and at the end there are 3 pics of me..Hallye! i know they're bad..so don't hate! lol anyways..Enjoy! *Hallye's POV* "Uh, excuse me?" No response. He obviously didn't hear me. So, I mustered up all the rest of my courage and tapped his shoulder and said it louder. I must have startled him, because he turned around so quickly that we ran into each other, and we both fell onto a pile of leaves. My breath caught in my throat as I realized he had landed on top of me. I stared in deep chocolate brown eyes for a few seconds. The wave of deja vu hit me yet again. His eyes seemed so familiar, but I had never seen this boy before in my life. Or so I thought. Then I just lost it. I started laughing hysterically, which eventually caused him to start cracking up, too. I didn't even know why I was laughing, which made me laugh even harder. By now, he had rolled off of me, and laying next me on the ground. We probably looked like two crackheads, both curled into balls on the ground, laughing until we were crying and gasping for air. When we both finally calmed down, I remembered the real reason I had gone over to him. "Hey, aren't you one of the Jonas Brothers?" I asked. *Nick's POV* My face dropped and a wave of disappointment hit me when she asked asked that all too familiar question. She was just yet another obsessed fan. Is that the only reason girls talked to me anymore? She probably couldn't wait to run home to her friends and scream about how she had just talked to the teen heart throb, Nick Jonas. I said, "Yeah, what do you want? A picture? An autograph? Or both?" That come out colder than I had intended, because a look of both astonishment and hurt crossed her face. *Hallye's POV* I was both shocked and hurt when he said that. I can't believe he thought that's all I wanted. That I was just another shallow, obsessed that only talked to him because he was famous. I quietly whispered in response, "Neither. I was actually trying to help you. You seemed lost since you have a concert starting in 35 minutes and you're nowhere near the arena. But if you don't want my help I'll just leave." I turned around, starting to walk away, but he grabbed my hand, stopping me. I felt sparks all through my body, causing me to shiver once. "Well, I'm an idiot," he whispered. "I should've given you a chance, and I'm sorry." I turned around to face him again, and I looked up into his eyes. "You're not an idiot," I said and giggled. "so, you ready to get to that concert? I'm sure there would be tons of disappointed fans if you didn't show. Not to mention your brothers would probably skin you alive." We then started to slowly walk in the direction of the arena. "I would like stay in piece. And of course there would be disappointed fans. I mean, look at me, " he replied jokingly. I rolled my eyes and said, "Whatever helps you sleep at night, Jonas." "Ouch, the last name, that's harsh," he replied as he put his other hand on his heart. I smiled. It was then that we both looked down, realizing that our hands were still intertwined from before. I turned my face in the opposite direction, blushing deeply. However, he mad no gesture of removing his hand from mine, so neither did I. Part 2 either up later or tomorrow! sorry! |
