full stacey dash slams jada pinkett smith on oscar outrage: what about bets segregation
Bookmarked 513 weeks ago stacey dash talked with steve doocy today on fox amp friends where she said it was ludicrous that people were getting upset with the oscar awards for not nominating any black actorsthe awards ceremony has been the subject of scrutiny in the past few days with spike lee and jada pinkett smith among the biggest african-american hollywood figures to suggest that people not bother with itwe have to make up our minds either we want to have segregation or integration dash said if we dont want segregation then we need to get rid of channels like bet and the bet awards and the naacp image awards where you are only awarded if you are black if it were the other way around we would be up in arms its a double standardit should be noted that white artists can and have won bet awardsfrom there dash said the bet channel shouldnt exist for the same reason that black history month should be axed for not being counterbalanced by a white history month she also attributed the problem to president obama not inspiring more racial inclusiveness in his hollywood supporters and that it was a disservice to accuse the academys choices of being blatantly racist |

max mathews radio baton demonstration
Bookmarked 742 weeks ago recorded: april 7 2010in the late 1950s computer music pioneer dr max mathews created music the first widely used music synthesis program while working in the acoustic research group at bell telephone laboratories over the next forty years at bell labs and then at the center for computer research in music and acoustics at stanford university mathews advanced and refined digital computer music synthesis in this video mathews describes and demonstrates his radio baton controller and conductor software program and performs brief selections by bach chopin beethoven and appleton a radio baton is an electronic instrument with two baton controllers and a receiving base called the antenna in the end of each baton is a small radio transmitter as the batons are moved over the receiving base four antennas in the base are able to determine the batons039 location in three-dimensional space the movement of the batons through space are converted into instructions determining how the music is to be synthesizedthe radio baton conductor model uses the model of an orchestra conductor controlling the musical tempo dynamics and expression of the piece the conductor program puts the pitches and the durations of the notes in a score that the computer reads as a sequence of beats in the computer memory the conductor can move the batons around with his two hands controlling six variables and assign these variables to whatever functions in the music are important at any instant of the music when asked if the radio baton was a successful instrument mathews answered quoti suspect actually it was too successful it may have made music too easy to play but my vision there and the vision i think i got from john chowning was that everyone could have his own orchestra and could interpret music according to his particular feelings about it and that this might be a much more satisfying way than simply sitting and listening to a recording or simply listening to a concert in a concert hallquot |
