Glass harmonica · Music Instruments
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas Bloch and his glass harmonicaThe glass harmonica, also known as the glass armonica, hydrocrystalophone, or simply armonica (derived from "armonia", the Italian word for harmony), is a type of musical instrument that uses a series of glass bowls or goblets graduated in size to produce musical tones by means of friction (instruments of this type are known as friction idiophones).

Because its sounding portion is made of glass, the glass harmonica is a crystallophone. The phenomenon of rubbing a wet finger around the rim of a wine goblet to produce tones is documented back to Renaissance times; Galileo considered the phenomenon (in his Two New Sciences), as did Athanasius Kircher.

The Irish musician Richard Puckeridge is typically credited as the first to play an instrument composed of glass vessels by rubbing his fingers around the rims.[1] Beginning in the 1740s, he performed in London on a set of upright goblets filled with varying amounts of water. During the same decade, Christoph Willibald Gluck also attracted attention playing a similar instrument in England.

A glass harp - or Seraphim -, the ancestor of the Glass harmonica being played in Rome, Italy. The rims of wine glasses filled with water are rubbed by the player's fingers to create the notes.

Towards Break of Day

Was it the double of my dream
The woman that by me lay
Dreamed, or did we halve a dream
Under the first cold gleam of day?

I thought: "There is a waterfall
Upon Ben Bulben side
That all my childhood counted dear;
Were I to travel far and wide
I could not find a thing so dear."
My memories had magnified
So many times childish delight.

I would have touched it like a child
But knew my finger could but have touched
Cold stone and water. I grew wild.
Even accusing Heaven because
It had set down among its laws:
Nothing that we love over-much
Is ponderable to our touch.

I dreamed towards break of day,
The cold blown spray in my nostril.
But she that beside me lay
Had watched in bitterer sleep
The marvellous stag of Arthur,
That lofty white stag, leap
From mountain steep to steep.

~ William Butler Yeats

The Coolest Elevator in New York

Posted by Scout on September 19th, 2011

Last week, I was scouting office space in a building in Queens. My guide brought me to this totally unassuming elevator.

Really, I have to show you this as I encountered it:

WOW. It’s like Willy Wonka built an elevator to the land of Oz! Easily the coolest elevator I’ve ever been on in New York:

Here’s a full panorama looking toward the rear of the elevator (that’s a railing beneath the mirror)…

…and a reverse pan showing the front:

Lining the ceiling are these great monster heads made out of mechanical bits…

Each is poking through its own hole:

More characters, including a king:

Another character:

The elevator is a last remnant from when the former Macy’s warehouse building catered to a more artsy clientele. In fact, the entire lobby was once decked out in matching accoutrements, most of which have been removed as part of a conversion to more traditional office space. Thankfully, the new owners decided to keep the unusual elevator in the back corner.

Best of all, there’s a cool fish-eye mirror at one end, which makes it look like you’re leaning out of some parallel dimension:

I’m a big fan of anything that makes my day a little more surreal, and this is the last thing I was expecting on the other side of those bland white elevator doors. If anyone knows who the artist was, please let me know!
-SCOUT
PS – One other installation was left in the lobby – a school bus, apparently paused in the midst of an avant-garde crash:

Not sure if this hand is causing the accident or saving it…

But it’s probably a safe bet you don’t want to be in either of these seats!

Land Made of Food

Submitted by admin on Tuesday, 30 August 2011

The ‘Foodscapes’ are created in Carl’s London studio where they are built on top of a large purpose built triangular table top. The scenes are photographed in layers from foreground to background and sky as the process is very time consuming and so the food quickly wilts under the lights. Each element is then put together in post production to achieve the final image.

Diary Entry

Dear Friends:
I have decided to change my blog from what it is now (whatever that is) into my personal intimate diary.

Why would I do such a thing? Well, what is the one thing
people do with their diaries, filled with all the dirty little
secrets and emotions and tall stories, and dreams?
Think a moment. Right. One hides it in a place where no one
will ever see it. A place where no one looks, where prying eyes will not see the angst and embarrassing emotion that it life.

Well, I got to thinking. Where is the safest place I can imaging where no one ever looks, where I can hide my secret
writing? Hmmmm. Then I realized, the safest place in the world is my personal blog. No one ever looks at it. I write and write, enter clever jokes, find beautiful poems, pictures,
interesting videos, thinking how clever I am. It is sort of making a scrap book in the basement then storing it away in
a cabinet next to the canned asparagus. And the laundry
detergent.
So, from now on, my blog will be my diary. Of course,
as in the case of most diaries, what I reveal may not be the
truth. In a diary one can write whatever comes to mind,
since no one is there to criticize.
Those of you who are not reading this, shame on you.
Those who are reading this, shame on you.
That is all I have to say at this time.
