Description of work: Renaissance Hotels tasked architect Jose R. Marchand and interior designer Jorge Rossello with renovating and saving this beachside landmark. "[B]y the mid-1990s the venerable La Concha hotel had been shuttered, abandoned and left to rot...Originally designed by Osvaldo Toro and Miguel Ferrer, with an eccentric but utterly loveable seashell-shaped restaurant by Mario Salvatori [sic], La Concha was a beautifully massed, expertly sited, vividly inventive building perfectly in sync with its time. Closely attuning the hotel to its sun-swept setting, the architects created deep-shading overhangs, open corridors, windows and doors that gave onto lush interior courtyards and provided cross ventilation, and beautifully lacy quiebra-sol (their take on a brise-soleil) for further modulation of the light and heat" (Frank, Michael. "La Concha Revival". Architectural Digest. Aug 2009, p. 103-104. Print).

Kate Beck
Modulation , 2010
Graphite of paper on aluminum
12 x 12 inches
PG# KB.0018
Pelavin Gallery is proud to announce a solo exhibition of recent work by American artist, Kate Beck. This show will include large scale poured oil paintings and graphite drawings on aluminum panel. This will be Beck’s first solo exhibition at the gallery, and in New York City.
In this new body of work, Beck continues her engagement with repetitive tonal rendering as a means of interaction between light and shadow, human thought and consciousness, and the dynamic architectonics of space. This time she takes the essence of form further by using aluminum substrates, allowing modulating marks of graphite and poured oil to accumulate and shift amidst the confines of the geometric shapes. Tension oscillates between formalistic geometry and existential space; an allusion to thought and consciousness, and the passage of time.

The Roland AX-Synth's play controls: the Modulation Bar is a push-in "button" and the Touch Controller serves, among other uses, as a pitch ribbon. Thanks to this layout, playing both controls at the same time feels very natural (and not just if you have a guitar or bass background), even more so than some more common pitch/mod controls found on synth keyboards.
In addition, there's Roland's signature D Beam controller as well as a pair of octave-shift buttons, and two small pots for adjusting after-touch and volume with your thumb.

Shifting Paradigms from Mass Production to Mass Customization
Computational architecture and design course
Conventional construction methods all depart from the basic premises of mass production: standardization, modulation and a production line. What these systems developed during the last two centuries fail to take into account are the evolutionary leaps and bounds the manufacturing industry has taken over the last decades. With the introduction of CNC technologies and rapid prototyping machines have altered the paradigms of fabrication forever. It is due to these new tools that it is now possible to create (n) amount of completely unique and different pieces with the same amount of energy and material that is required to create (n) identical pieces. The possibilities for implementation of new forms, textures, materials and languages are infinite due to the versatility that these new tools offer a growing network of architects, designers, fabricators that are integrating them into their professional practices to generate unique and precise objects that respond to countless data and real-life conditions.

Here you can watch the fade-on effect as each time interval elapses (set to 6 seconds instead of 10 minutes during the prototyping and construction phase), and then the flip to the other hour indicator when the "hour" rolls over.
The fade is accomplished using PWM (pulse-width modulation), the method by which you make a digital (on/off) device like an LED act in an analog fashion (variable brightness). PWM means the LED is quickly switching between on and off, so fast that you don't see the flickr. If the "on" period is the same duration as the "off" period--that is, 50/50--then the LED looks half as bright as a regular LED. If it spends a little more time off than on, then it will look dimmer yet. The Arduino comes with six pins already set up to take care of the PWM effect for you; you can write to the pins as if they were analog, so that's what I'm using here. In the Arduino program (called a "sketch"), I increase the brightness value inside a loop, and the LED fades on.

I am building a 10 watt linear amplifier for my FT817ND. Currently this puts out about 1.5 watts of amplitude modulation. But this linear amplifier ( built from an old Walford kit ) will boost the power to 10 watts. I am hoping to have some AM QSOs using it on 80 and 160 metres. The linear is currently still on the bench, but it works - you put 1.5 watts in - and lots of power comes out! Because I have little spare time it will take months to complete the project, but I hope it will be on the air by the end of 2014!

création/résidence art sonore | Geluidskunst/creatie
Alain Wergifosse, l'ancien Belge des scènes experimentales de Barcelone est revenu chercher sous nos brumes et grisailles l'inspiration pour ses nouveaux projets sonores et visuels. La bas il à travaillé avec son power-trio Obmuz, avec Nad Spiro, Macromassa, Marcel.li Antunez, Cluster, Zbigniew Karkoski, Francisco Lopez et bien d'autres. il à aussi co-organisé les festivals NONOlogic avec Eli Gras et le LEM de GTS.
Il s'installe pendant 6 semaines a la Gare Bruxelles-Congrès qu'il inondera de sons bizarres, d'architectures impossibles, d'ondes radio en très basses fréquences, de microscopies, de modulations lumineuses, d'érosions, de perturbations électro-magnétiques, de quelques dichroïsmes et d'autres abérrations temporaires des champs sensoriels dans une exposition/installation sonore/résidence/atelier en work in progress qui évoluera semaine a semaine pour aboutir le 18 février en un concert bien bruiteux mettant tout l'espace en résonance où Alain Wergiosse fera chanter les trains et flipper les rats.
Alain Wergifosse, Belg die geruime tijd in de experimentele scene van Barcelona actief was, is naar zijn grijs en nevelig thuisland teruggekeerd om er inspiratie te vinden voor zijn nieuwe klank- en beeldprojecten. In Spanje werkte hij met zijn power-trio Obmuz, met Nad Spiro, Macromassa, Marcel.li Antunez, Cluster, Zbigniew Karkoski, Francisco Lopez en anderen. Hij organiseerde ook mee het festival NONOlogic met Eli Gras en het LEM van GTS.
Gedurende 6 weken zal hij het station Brussel Congres innemen en bespelen. We krijgen onbestaande architectuur te zien, microscopische beelden, erosies, lichtmodulatie, electromagnetische golven worden hoorbaar gemaakt. Het geheel is één groot ‘work in progress’ (atelier/tentoonstelling/residentie) dat zijn publiek toonmoment zal kennen op 18 februari in een luidruchtig klankexperiment/concert dat de hele ruimte zal doen weerklinken als een instrument. Alain Wergifosse zal de treinen doen zingen en de ratten doen flippen.

Species of Melosira from the salt pond site NS-1 in Heron's Head Park, San Francisco, on San Francisco Bay. This was taken with Hoffman Modulation Contrast Optics at 1,000x, from a wet mount slide. This shows the barrel structure of a single cell of this colonial diatom.
Oh, to explain the wonder that is leaving one's place of employ as the sun comes bombarding across the sky. People always comment on how crazy it must be to work from midnight until 8 in the morning, but I love it. It's misbehaving. It's wrong. Sick and lovely and wrong.
I viewed this lovely set from Wave of Modulation and had a tiny orgasm.
I love the sun, don't be mistaken. However, I fucking love the night.

ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ONNN), a leading global supplier of high performance, energy efficient, silicon solutions has introduced eight new power MOSFET devices specifically designed for medium voltage switching applications. These MOSFETs are ideal for use in DC motor drives, LED drivers, power supplies, converters, pulse width modulation (PWM) controls and bridge circuits where diode speed and commutating safe operating areas are crucial and benefit from an additional safety margin against unexpected voltage transients that these devices provide.
Born in the year 2715 to Fred and Roberta Starks of Earth, Crytala grew up in a very happy family setting. She was a very smart little girl in everything she did, but at 8yrs old she was being bullied in school, so her father had her enrolled in every form of martial arts he could think of, considering the fact that his daughter was an only child. So for her protection, he had her trained not withholding her education. By the time she reached college she majored in communications.
She became one of the greatest and most widely students known in the field of communications. And was accepted at the Belstar Space Academy in the year 2712 and majored in Universal Language Translation, Frequency and Range Modulation, Psychology, Pyschometrics, and Physics. While attending Belstar Space Academy Crytala met a fellow student Bodar, and fell in love with him. They spent a lot of time studying and working together, until Bodar had to dedicate his time and effort on The Phantom. After that they didn't see much of each other. So Crytala requested to be communications chief aboard The Phantom, to be close to Bodar. Bodar doesn't realize how Crytala feels, but out of his respect for their friendship and her qualifications, he takes her on as communications chief. And her adventure begins.

Ween has always occurred to me as a musical chameleon. You want thrashy, idiotic punk? Ween can do that. Do you want a moving, emotional ballad? Ween can do that, too. Do you want an obviously drug-fueled voyage into dissonant sound and grating, nonsensical vocals? Ween can serve that up hot with a side of grits.So, it shouldnt seem strange that Ween can do country, and country is what you get in 12 Golden Country Greats. Now, country is a genre of music I tend to admire from afar - I never want to get too close, lest I start feeling urges to square-dance with a ten-gallon hat and tight jeans. So having Ween do a country album gave me the excuse to get into country, even if it was largely the Ween version. But then again, a little parody never hurt anyone, and this album is a must for Ween fans and anyone who wants a little absurdity with their country.Ween pulls off the endeavor by bringing in a bunch of ringers (some of whom they name during songs), who obviously have the whole country thing down to a T. Although Dean Ween is by all accounts one of the most talented guitar-Gods around (or, at least, by all my accounts), he probably couldnt handle a steel guitar too well, so Ween took this concept to its logical conclusion and brought in fiddlers, steel guitarists, a drummer, etc., which give almost all the tracks a good, solid grounding in the basics of the genre. The Ween-ness is brought in courtesy of the lyrics; for a Ween album, the vocals are mostly straight and modulation-free, so its up to the lyrical content to remind you that yes, these are the same guys behind such timeless classics as Touch My Tooter and Fat Lenny.The lyrics make the album, sometimes going light on the absurdity (Japanese Cowboy, Powder Blue) to laying it on thick (You Were the Fool, Im Holding You) to just being downright hilarious (Piss Up a Rope, Help Me Scrape the Mucous Off My Brain). For Ween fans, I suspect, the lyrics are where its at, because even after you know what Ween is going to say in a given song, its still somehow fresh and funny the tenth time you hear it. The lyrics shine for most of the time in 12 Golden Country Greats, with comedy being the main aim, though sometimes the only joke is hey, look, were doing country!Musically, the songs are generally catchy and well-paced. Since I dont know country very well, I can only postulate that the songs reflect a range of country styles within country itself - nowhere is this more apparent than in the cheerfully homophobic Mister Richard Smoker, which seems to be plucked out of the days of ragtime, and the almost normal I Dont Want to Leave You On the Farm, which I can only assume is closer to bluegrass. I could be wrong, but I dont really care. The only song that really drags for the casual listener not familiar with Weens forays into the lengthy, annoying song that never seems to end (Black Jack, anyone?) is Fluffy. But Fluffy is probably the funniest piece here, and sucks you in to its world of lazy front porches and excited dogs with its slow-motion, warped approach.So, overall, this album is musically solid, lyrically brilliant, funny, and delightfully misnamed. Where the remaining two golden country greats went, only Ween knows, but Gene and Dean turn in a 10-song tribute/mockery of country that stands out as being both authentic and ridiculous. On a personal note, I was once dating a girl who was a true country fan. Wondering if she might like this album, I played it for her. She was horrified. But, as I said before, if youre a fan of Ween, this album cannot be missed, or left on the farm. For More 5 Star Reviews 12 Golden Country Greats [Explicit]

Nolita, Manhattan, New York City, New York
Corners of Houston, Lafayette, Mulberry and Jersey, Nolita
The Puck Building, originally the home of Puck magazine, is one of the great surviving buildings from New York's old publishing and printing district.
The red-brick round-arched structure occupies the entire block bounded by East Houston, Lafayette, Mulberry and Jersey Streets, and has been one of the most prominent architectural presences in the area since its construction one hundred years ago. The building is further distinguished by the large statue of Puck at the building's East Houston and Mulberry Street corner; this is among the city 's most conspicuous pieces of architectural sculpture.
Puck was, from its founding in 1876 until its demise in 1918, the city's and one of the country's best-known humor magazines. Published in both English and German-language editions , Puck satirized most of the public events of the day. The magazine featured color lithographic cartoons produced by the J. Ottman Lithographic Company, largest in the country, which shared the Puck Bllilding space.
The current building is the result of three stages of construction, all supervised by architect Albert Wagner; the building and its additions read as a single unified composit ion. The style is an adaptation of the Romanesque
Revival, which had reached great popularity in the 1880s through the works of H. H. Richardson. Wagner's Romanesque, however, was not Richardsonian. A German-born architect, Wagner had worked in New York for Prague-trained Leopold Eidlitz, and his version of the Romanesque appears to reflect the round-arched Gernan "Rundbogenstil" that Eidlitz had brought to New York several decades earlier.
The Puck Building remains one of the most striking 19th-century industrial buildings in lower Manhattan. The comic magazine was founded by Joseph Keppler (1838-1894) and Adolph Schwarzman first appeared in German in 1876. Puck's attitude varied from d humor to merciless satire. Politicallv, in Keppler's time, supported the Democratic Party, but it was never a partisan magazine. It ridiculed poiitical corruption, monopolies, labor unions, suffragism, and all forms of graft, extravagance, and unjustice. It reviewed theater and musical performances. It laughed at fashions and different fads.
In March 1885, with the magazine's circulation and success on the rise, Keppler, Schwarzmann and Ottman purchased property on the southwest corner of East Houston and Mulberry Streets to be the site of a building to house both Puck and the Ottman company. The location was at the fringes of what was then New York's printing district, whose -center was the Astor Library on Lafayette Street (then Lafayette Place). The authors of a Puck supplement issued on the occasion of its tenth anniversary wrote that "Houston street marks the southernmost boundary of a region much affected by large publishing houses."
Publishing houses, periodicals, and printers were located throughout the neighborhood during the 1880s and 1890s, and it was a natural choice for Puck. The original building was erected in 1885-86 to the designs of Albert Wagner, but went through several additions and alterations. In August 1890, spurred by the continuing growth of the magazine, Keppler, Schwarzann, and J. Ottman's heirs bought the adjoining property to the south at 281 Mulberry Street and erected an addition to the Puck Building in 1892-93, again to Albert Wagner's design. The two-year delay was caused by uncertainty in 1890, about the potential route of a proposed new rapid transit line.
Although the Puck Building is too late to be considered part of the Rundbogenstil, it appears to show the influence of Wagner's earlier experience with it. Such a connection would help explain both the references to the style as "Renaissance," and its dissimilarity to the then more popular Richardsonian version of the Romanesque.
The enormous red brick structure has been a commanding presence in the neighborhood since the time of its construction. Its identity was further announced by the statue of Puck at the Houston and Mulberry Street corner of the building, where the two main entrances originally met, one on either street. There is also a smaller statue over the Lafayette Street entrance. The larger '"Puck" on East Houston Street was apparently designed by Henry Baerer, the sculptor of the bust of Beethoven in Central Park. The designer of the smaller "Puck" is not known.
The Puck Building today comprises the original 1885-86 structure and the 1892 addition, less the western portion of each removed in 1898; the Lafayette Street elevation dates from the latter alteration, but duplicates the earlier design. The building occupies an irregular lot bounded by East Houston Street on the north, Mulberry Street on the east, Jersey Street on the south, and Lafayette Street on the west.43 Despite the complexity of its building history, the Puck reads as a single structure retaining the integrity of its original design. The original portion is seven stories high, and the addition nine, but otherwise they are practically identical in design and material.
The building's architectural effects derive from the rhythms set up by arches of varying width, within bays of equal width, and from an adept use of red brick which creates the modulations in the piers, the definition of the arches, and the corbeling of the cornice. Cast-iron window enframements, statuary, and wrought-iron entrance gates, and the cast-iron and glass vault-lighting, provide the necessary contrast in materials.
The original section now comprises four bays on Lafayette Street, three bays on East Houston, and six bays on Mulberry. On Mulberry, the bays are defined by large brick piers that run the full height of the building. Each pier is actually in two sections: a wider pier at the first and second stories, and a narrower pier above. Each pier has a small brownstone base and rests on a five-foot high block of polished gray granite; each is banded in projecting brick. Within each bay at the first and second stories is a double-story brick arch, with projecting brick edges. Ihthin the arch, each bay consists of an upper arched lunette and a lower rectangle, separated by a cast-iron transom. The lunette contains a central double-hung one-over-one window, flanked on either side by a swing window topped by a quarter-arch pane. Beneath the spandrel are three large rectangular windows with transoms above and six-paned basement windows below.
The second and fourth bays south of East Houston Street contain secondary storefront entrances; the door replaces the central rectangular window of each storefront. The first and second stories are set off from those above by a brownstone stringcourse, beneath which is a band of corbeling.
The second section of pier, running from the third story to the seventh story, is narrower than the lower section; each is banded and adorned with an elegant iron ornamental tie-rod end at the fourth story, and a smaller one at the top. At the third and fourth story each bay comprises a pair of two-story arches, each half the width of the arches below. These arches rest on small brick piers with patterned brick "capitals." Within each arch are a pair of four-over-four doublehung windows above the brick spandrel, and a similar pair below the spandrel; each window in the pair is separated from the one next to it by a slender cast-iron pier with neo-Grec detailing. The third and fourth story bay is topped by corbeling and a brownstone sillcourse above.
