Echo and Narcissus is an oil painting, created in 1903 by Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse. The painting illustrate the poem Echo and Narcissus by Ovid.
Echo was a nymph. She was in love with Narcissus but he became so enamoured with his own reflection in a stream that he was fixated by the image, and Echo wasted away through unrequited love, all that remained was the 'echo' of her voice. To punish Narcissus he was transformed into a flower of the same name by the gods.
Roman poet Ovid as part of his monumental work Metamorphoses. It combines two ancient legends: Echo, the mountain-nymph, and Narcissus, a hunter who falls in love with his own reflection. This was the first time that the two legends had been told together.
This poem is in Book III of the Metamorphoses, and tells the story of a "talkative nymph" who "yet a chatterbox, had no other use of speech than she has now, that she could repeat only the last words out of many." She falls in love with Narcissus, whom she catches sight of when he is "chasing frightened deer into his nets." Eventually, after "burning with a closer flame," Echo's presence is revealed to Narcissus, who, after a comic yet tragic scene, rejects her love. Echo wastes away, until she "remains a voice" and "is heard by all." This is the explanation of the aural effect which was named after her.
Then, Narcissus "tired from both his enthusiasm for hunting and from the heat" rests by a spring, and whilst drinking, "a new thirst grows inside him" and he is "captivated by the image of the beauty he has seen" and falls deeply in love with "all the things for which he himself is admired." He then wastes away with love for himself, echoing the manner in which Echo did earlier on. A while later his body is gone, and in its place is a narcissus flower that came upon his actions.
What seems like an age after the crossing bells sound, a southbound train will appear from around the curve at Frankton Junction/Hamilton Station. Usually accelerating hard after leaving the sidings at Te Rapa only a short distance north, the two DL's MTU engines make for a pleasurable listening experience.

Recently artists were invited into Temple Works - a former flax mill in Holbeck, Leeds, UK, built by John Marshall in the 1830's - to make a visual and acoustic record of this Grade 1 listed building before works begin, to transform it from its current derelict state, into a creative hub and multi purpose space.
The audio, video and photography was then used as source material for the creation of an installation. Mark Valentine and myself worked back and forth, responding to each others contributions - his sound to my video, and vice versa - to create an video/audio installation, in response to the building.
The short video we created will be on view - screened in situ across a tower of 9 CRT monitors - alongside other artists responses, as part of the Temple Works Light and Sound contribution to the Leeds Light Night Festival on October 9th, 2009. The video is intended as a visual/aural representation of how an actual building might remember its occupants! Fleeting moments, captured as glitches in time, half remembered, as visual and aural metaphors.

Entonces es cuando te das cuenta de la inutilidad de todo. Estás tirando tu vida por la borda, luchando contra un sueño que jamás fue para ti. Es entonces cuando miras a unos ojos invisibles y te das cuenta de que no hay peor pesar que la indiferencia.
Y te giras.
E intentas no desvanecerte.
Pero el vacío sigue hirviendo a mi alrededor, aunque pueda ser capaz de alzarme sobre él. Hay cenizas en mis pupilas y arañas en mi migraña. La realidad es cruel para la mediocridad. Y entonces llego al inicio de todo, al comienzo de toda esta espiral de pusilanimidad. Al momento en que la luz aural de mi inocencia se desvaneció, al instante en que nació mi fuego (y se volatilizó hacia el cielo), al segundo en el que tuve potencialidades que necesitaba actualizar. Y entonces me doy cuenta de lo que soy, un cervatillo asustado, una pantera con complejo de inferioridad. Me siento adocenada. Toda la vida me he escondido creyéndome mediocre, vil, vulgar. Nunca he creído merecer nada, nunca he sabido llegar al acto de mis posibilidades, nunca he sido capaz de buscar algo porque en el fondo sabía que no era para mí.
Y esa sensación vuelve ahora.
Y el cine se me escapa.
Todo mi castillo de sueños se fundamenta en una realidad ilusoria, en mi no-talento para nada, en mi inseguridad y mezquindad. Y lloro otra vez por no tener a nadie que me mire y me diga que puedo lograrlo todo, que soy la mejor persona que jamás ha conocido. Y lloro por no tener a nadie que me mire y me diga que soy la cabello-de-fuego más valiente que existe, que me susurre que mi fuerza puede cambiar el mundo. Y lloro porque en esta vida las ilusiones y las ganas no sirven para llegar al final de tu camino, sino que hay una senda que te toca, la que hace siglos que está escrita para ti. Y lloro porque un día moriré sin haber podido lograr todo lo que quería. Y lloro... Lloro por llorar. Porque en occidente parece que solo lo hacemos por eso.

It was obvious that when Primus planned this show, the visual experience was just as important as the aural experience, but most of the show found the members of the band in very low light or dark shadows. I like seeing performers when they play but I don't plan their shows. So many of the shots were taken in very low light with high ISO which meant I had to use high levels of noise removal in post processing to make the images presentable. I still had a blast at the show though. And isn't that just a beautiful bass?
Fue obvio que cuando Primus planeó este espectáculo, la experiencia visual era tan importante como la experiencia auditiva. Entonces, durante la mayor parte del espectáculo los integrantes de la banda se encontraban en muy poca luz o sombras oscuras. Me gusta ver a los artistas cuando tocan, pero no planeo sus conciertos. Muchas de las tomas se tomaron con muy poca luz y un ISO alto, lo que significa que tuve que usar altos niveles de eliminación de ruido en el procesamiento posterior para que las imágenes fueran presentables. Sin embargo, todavía me divertí mucho en el espectáculo. Y, ¿no es muy bello el bajo?

Ready for choral evensong, an aural and atmospheric delight as well as visually impressive building.
Another six-car set of CO/CP stock rolls into Southfields (with all the usual wonderful aural accompaniments - grinding of gearboxes, sighing of electropneumatic brakes and throbbing of compressors). It is forming a District Line service from Wimbledon to Edgware Road.
The marker light positions beneath the right-hand cab window are a lighter red, having been recently over-painted following the abandonment of headcodes on the District. After that, what was 'Richmond' WB and, I think, 'Bow Road' EB became the norm for every train..
Maldives consists of 1,192 coral islands grouped in a double chain of 26 atolls, along the north-south direction, spread over roughly 90,000 square kilometres (35,000 sq mi), making this one of the world's most dispersed countries. This photo was taken at Bandos Island after the sunset. The island of Bandos is a perfect setting for that romantic getaway or those two weeks of bliss away from work. The sense of calm and serenity the island emanates is truly otherworldly. The gentle lull of the sea, the whistling breeze, and the rustling of the palm fronds on the beach will help transcend you from the hurly-burly rigours of daily life. This aural feast, complimented by an all colourful visual one, where the turquoise of the lagoon, the lush green vegetation.

Alphorn Sound Installation
Spatial sound for SL
It uses 16 fanfare snippets plus 'harmony layers' I wrote which are being played back from the four corners of a huge square.
The listener stands between them and moves freely around moving and turning their heads around between the loudspeakers to have a spatial experience.
(For the connoisseurs: the tuning is based on the overtone row, and not on the equal-tempered system we know from keyboard instruments.)
Feel free to have a quick listen! You need to have object sounds switched on.
The TP is right to the centre of the square:

Ava being just being herself, modeling my Grado SR80 headphones. It's the first time she discovered my iPod, and it would seem she liked what I had on there...
They sound great... but with a capable headphone amp they sound truly AWESOME. To be fair, especially if you listen to your music with an iPod or other portable... get a portable headphone amp and smile. (or alternately, the SR-60 headphones, which are happy being driven by the iPod's built in amplifier.)
We got out of class early and were supposed to be studying that morning... but, alas...
Guitarist & bandleader Elvin Bishop has joined my Portrait Project. Elvin initially came to fame in the 60's playing electric blues w/ The Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Since then has career continued on as a solo artist and with some memorable collaborations. His oeuvre transcends being of only one era in accomplishments and aural aesthetics. W.Wolfson
