A cult classic in the making. 253 is the novel about everyone you've ever met and wished you hadn't or wished you could again. 252 passengers and one driver on the London Underground. They all have their own personal histories, their own thoughts about themselves and their travelling neighbours. And they all have one page devoted to them. Some characters are tragic, some are inspiring, some are mad/proud/foolish/infuriating (delete where appropriate) and some are just like the person near you right now. You'll meet Estelle who's fallen madly in love with Saddam Hussein; James, who anaesthetises sick gorillas for a living; and Who?, a character that doesn't know where, or what, on earth he is. It's a seven-and-a-half minute journey between Embankment and the Elephant & Castle. It's the journey of 253 lifetimes...This is the full text of the celebrated interactive novel that startled the Web when it first went on line. Only it can't crash, the downloading time is quicker and you can read it on the Tube, the train, the bus,, the plane, by foot - even by car, so long as you're not driving.

A companion book to: "Concert Duets for Trumpet" Words from the author: It is important that aspiring musicians become fluent in all of the major and minor keys. When I was a student, I was never entirely satisfied with the few choices of resources that contained well-written etudes in all keys. There have been some attempts but many of them have some standard keys missing, others are purely technical and lacking in musicality. Others were too high or too long and left them out of reach of emerging players. Further, finding a single resource that laid out all of the major and minor scales and arpeggios in a simpler manner was more difficult than it should have been. I did not need or want several pages of the same scale written out in a dozen or more rhythmic patterns and meters. As a result, I started playing the scales from memory in a manner that suited me. I have included these scales in this book. I also wrote them in such a way to include arpeggios at the end of each scale. This eliminates the need to have separate scales and arpeggio exercises. I recommend that all players from emerging ones to professionals play all the major and minor scales every day. Once the scales are memorized, the player will be ready to begin playing them with more speed. Eventually, all the scales can be played quite quickly and be completed in a very short time. At this point, you will find that many things may be easier for you as a player: sight-reading, transposition, or improvisation for example. THE ETUDES I have attempted to write etudes that are accessible enough for young, emerging players but still be enjoyable and challenging by even the most advanced players. I tried to avoid writing in a purely technical manner and made a concerted effort to make them musically rewarding, fun to play, and diverse in style and material. Of the 26 etudes, 24 of them are in a unique time signature. Only 4/4 and 6/8 time were used twice. While a few of the meters I chose are rarely used in common practice, it is still important that students are familiar with them. Too many etude books write in only a handful of the most common time signatures and as a result, the rhythmic patterns in the etudes tend to fall in similar and predictable patterns. I made a conscious effort to keep the length of every etude manageable. Some etudes are too long for younger players and they become tests of endurance rather than of technique and musicality. Along these same lines, I avoided writing notes above concert G5. This way, most of these etudes will be able to be played even by players whose range is still developing. TEMPO MARKINGS I did place a metronome marking at the beginning of every etude. They are merely suggestions. Some of them may need to be played slower, especially at first. Others you may choose to play faster than the suggested. OTHER BENEFITS Having been a teacher of music theory for a number of years, I cannot stress enough the importance and benefits of knowing all major and minor scales and arpeggios. The reasons for this are too numerous to explain here. What I can say is that having scales memorized, and being able to recall them quickly will help with the study of intervals, triads, aids melodic dictation skills and more. All of the aforementioned topics are an integral part of any higher education music theory course. To listen to the etudes, visit: www.back2classic.us.

It is common knowledge that the 12 star-signs map the sky and set the stage for the drama of life. This book expands this awareness manifold by revealing that it is the 27 constellations, and not the 12 signs, which truly map the ecliptic and provide the celestial backdrop for affairs on earth. Instead of taking away from the widely recognized meanings and significations of the 12 signs, they enrich them with a whole new depth of perspective and interpretation.

Generously illustrated monograph on the works of the French NP2F architectural studio, which is known for its public projects, such as sports, housing, cultural buildings, or public spaces.NP2F is an architectural studio created in 2009 by François Chas, Nicolas Guérin, Fabrice Long and Paul Maitre Devallon and operating in various cities in France and abroad. The projects on which NP2F works are both architectural and urban and its areas of expertise are sport, housing, cultural and educational buildings, places of relaxation and restoration, and public spaces. The issue contains the most important works of the studio made to date, preceded by a pair of critical essays by the architect and professor Djamel Klouche and the Argentine architect Marcelo Faiden. A conversation with the Chilean architect Felipe De Ferrari complements the monograph.Text: Felipe De Ferrari. Photographs: Antoine Espinasseau.
nsights into an architectural practice that combines art and technology, building and new ideas on buildingBaukunst's architectural practice has always maintained a high level of abstraction. Projects begin as theoretical propositions and remain so, regardless of their realisation on site. Built or unbuilt, they all exist within some kind of Platonic space to which the architects keep returning. The selection of works featured in this issue is not an archive of their work, but rather a research atlas in which the montage of architectural drawings, site photographs, models, and digital images speaks of the latent ideas germinated and tested across their projects.
Chilean architect Smiljan Radic's career is one of the most unique in the contemporary architecture scene. Although he works mainly in Chile, his work has crossed borders after building the Serpentine Gallery pavilion (London, 2014). This 2G issue features a selection of the houses built by Radic in almost thirty years of his career, from the extension of the Charcoal Burner's House (Cupliprán, 1997-1998) or his Small House (Vilches, 1995-1996) to his last Wooden House (Lake Colico, 2014-2015) and Prism House (Coinguillio, 2017-2018). In addition to the fourteen houses featured, a text by Enrique Walker explains the keys to understanding his domestic work from the Small House, and another by Moisés Puente talks about all the interventions that Radic has built in an estate in Vilches for him and his family. Two texts by the architect himself speak about the tradition of certain Chilean houses of his interest and about the role that repairing has in architecture, beyond the mere restoration or preservation.
The New York architecture office MOS, founded by Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample, is one of the few in the United States that manages to build a quality work from their almost artisanal office structure. Their architecture's intention is not to programmatically experiment with social norms, wanting to use architecture to directly intervene or facilitate interactions between neighbors or occupants. MOS's projects are built through combining and aggregating a multiplicity of architectural elements: chimneys, corridors, courtyards, roofs, windows, etc.Their work is partially self-referential, drawing on a consistent set of elements, ideas, and characteristics from their own architectural catalogue. Text: Stan Allen, Giovanna Borasi, Michael Meredith, Hilary Sample
The first monograph on the SOS studio founded by Olafur Eliasson and Sebastian Behmann presents some of their joint works as well as architectural works by Studio Olafur Eliasson.Studio Other Spaces (SOS) connects architecture and art through interdisciplinary and experimental building projects and artworks for public space. They use each project as a vehicle and tool to dive into topics, into locations, and into the intricate relationships between people and spaces. Featured works include the façades of the Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre in Reykjavik (Iceland, in collaboration with Henning Larsen Architects), the famous installation "Your rainbow panorama" at the Aarhus Kunstmuseum, Denmark, as well as recent joint works such as the Meles Zenawi Memorial Park, Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), the Vertical Panorama Pavilion in Sonoma (California) and the Cirkelbroen in Copenhagen.Text: Paola Antonelli, Olafur Eliasson, Sebastian Behmann.
The first monograph on b+ reflects their wide-ranging practice, including building projects in Berlin, Minneapolis, fashion shows and furniture pieces.b+ is a collaborative project led by Arno Brandlhuber, Olaf Grawert, Jonas Janke and Roberta Jurcic that understands architecture as an open process, and views buildings as part of larger systems that require a systemic approach and can have a transformative effect. Thus, b+ celebrates the potential of the existing built environment and aims to reveal and activate the latent possibilities within. This monograph includes works such as the towers of the San Gimignano Lichtenberg project in Berlin, the Midway Contemporary Art Garage in Minneapolis, fashion shows for Tussardi, and furniture pieces. The monograph is preceded by texts by Aaron Betsky and Antje Stahl, as well as a reflection by the architects themselves on their practice within the international context.
