His observations and the time he took as the external expert on my PhD in turn were selfless and tireless. ’His PhD, submitted to the Tasmanian Conservatorium of Music in 1988 on the origins and evolution of the European schools of violin playing foreshadowed his later interests in playing styles and in particular, execution of works by Bach and Paganini for solo violin. ![]() ’Philippe’s fascination with all things violin originally drew me, and many other violinists and scholars, to him,’ said Gwendolyn Masin, violinist and director of The Exhale, a holistic retreat for musicians at which Borer offered a course on violin intonation. He embarked on further studies in Greek and Sanskrit from 2011 to 2016. His research in tuning systems and violin intonation led to the creation of the ’Violin Slide-Rule’ for the calculation and the visualisation of musical intervals. Borer was a member of the Swiss Pedagogical Society, working alongside Russian, French, English, Italian, Austrian and Australian musicologists and was considered an authority on Paganini and Bach.Īs an author, his publications include The Twenty-Four Caprices of Niccolò Paganini: their significance for the history of violin playing and the music of the Romantic era (1997) and La Pagina e l’Archetto: historical-technical violin bibliography and studies carried out on Niccolò Paganini (2003). Read: Ask the Experts: how to help a beginner pupil with intonation issuesįrom 2007, Borer conducted masterclasses on violin intonation at institutions including Novgorod State University, the Mozarteum Salzburg and the University of Alberta. Read: Cellist Pablo Casals on expressive intonation His polyphonic repertoire comprised works by Marini, Westhoff, Bach, Paganini and Michael Bach Bachtischa. In addition to his violin playing, Borer was a musicologist, carrying out research in the field of violin pedagogy. From 1998 he performed with a curved bow which allowed him to play on single or multiple strings simultaneously. In 2016 he formed a violin and piano duo with French pianist Jean-Claude Frey. He recorded contemporary music for violin and viola, premiering works by Don Kay, Jean-Frédéric Perrenoud and John Michet. He has held various positions as member of orchestras and chamber ensembles in Switzerland, Italy and Australia. He had fallen ill to cancer and a funeral was held in Neuchâtel in the presence of a small circle of friends.īorn in 1955, pursued his violin studies with Max Rostal, Ruggiero Ricci and Jan Sedivka.

Why Mercedes Tuners Love the Supercharged 2004 C230 Performance Upgrade Additionally, we also use the power of tuning to make this C230’s engine perform to its greatest potential. To begin with, those very early supercharged models can be best described like this: “To drive them, to hear the shriek of the mechanical charger, to feel the power of its engine, to enjoy the luxury of the refined ambiance or to compete in racing… that was clearly the crowning glory of motoring.” Today, supercharged Mercedes look a lot different than their predecessors, but that sentiment and passion remains. At the Targa Florio race in 1922, a supercharged Mercedes would kick off a long series of wins for Mercedes and Mercedes-Benz racing cars. With the experience gained from supercharging aircraft after WWI, the first supercharged Mercedes were unveiled at the Berlin Auto Show in 1921. Indeed, the first supercharged cars came from Daimler-Benz in 1920s. A supercharger is used to boost car’s power and speed by mechanically increasing the intake of air. It is really just a fancy term for supercharger. Mercedes Kompressor, which could perhaps be mistaken as an autobot in the latest Transformers movie.

![]() What the elitists never see is how many real, professional studios use Poser. ![]() This would be like me saying, “My parents don’t use Poser and none of my friends’ parents use Poser.” Therefore, by this logic, my statement must obviously mean, “No parents in the entire world use Poser.” One of the worst arguments I’ve seen is when one of these elitists says something like “I know plenty of professionals and none of them use Poser”, as if to say, “Since I personally don’t know any ‘professionals’ who use Poser, then no professionals in the entire world use Poser.” Is it fair to say that every cell-phone camera is bad simply because some photos aren’t very good? With so many people taking pictures with their cell-phones, can these photos be considered “art”? Probably not, but maybe some are. As we speak, more and more people have cameras available to them, usually on their cell-phones. Like anything in life, some people will have the talent to make good images, while some people won’t.Īs an aside, I think Poser images can be compared to photography. While I will agree that a lot of Poser-created images are amateur in nature, you have to look at the “big picture”: since Poser is inexpensive, fairly easy to use, and doesn’t require a super-computer, it’s only natural that a wide variety of people would use the software. Many elitists also claim that Poser images show a distinct “amateur-ness”, which obviously means that the software itself is amateurish. Do they really mean that if I use an “unprofessional” software program, I can no longer call myself a “professional”? How’s that for circular logic? These elitists claim (usually with specious logic) that “professionals” don’t use Poser simply because it’s “unprofessional”. For this discussion, I’ll be calling these “professionals” by the more-correct term of “elitists”, which will mean “people who look down on something for their own personal reasons”. These people tend to look down on the use of Poser simply because they don’t use it, don’t understand it, or more-often-than-not, because they just don’t like it. However, many people seem to think that Poser is “unprofessional” because of its low price, its low learning curve, and the “amateur-ness” of many images made by beginners. The learning curve for Poser is a lot less steep than that of more complex graphics programs. Poser’s low price (normally in the $250 range) and included content (models, clothing, poses, etc) allow almost anyone to quickly make digital images immediately after purchasing and installing the software. Why do elitists look down on the use of Poser?Īs an introduction, Poser is a “3D Character and Scene Design” graphics software program created by Ghost Effects, then sold to and upgraded by MetaCreations, then sold to and upgraded by e-frontier, and then sold to and upgraded by Smith Micro (link opens in new window). ![]() Diem basis at our Insights of Helio Health Residential Program in Utica, NY.

The several tributes to classic Sonic games, such as the bumpers, springboards and animal friends in need of help make sure you never forget you're playing a Sonic title. With the press of a button, Sonic can revert to his old speed-limit breaking self - and he'll need to at times. Sega says Sonic diehards shouldn't fear the changes though. Another major level style combines the speed element in bursts, but requires Sonic to slow down and look for hidden objects and save animals taken captive. Other levels have more of a "Temple Run" type feel where Sonic's speed and ability to dodge enemies and obstacles plays a central role. Several levels keep the tried and true gameplay of Sonic intact, as speed is a necessary evil to traverse areas flooded with enemies. will change website name to Bed Bath & Beyond as deal closes The return of the "speed dash," Sonic's nifty spin move that allows him to quickly spin through obstacles and navigate environments, also makes "Lost World" feel different than recent games in the series. ![]() This comes in handy in many of the stages with multiple enemies where your only escape is to scale a wall to safety. Similar to "Prince of Persia," Sonic can now run across walls. More an adventure game with exploration elements than the sugar-charged, red-shoed platformer of yesteryear, "Lost World" gives Sonic a few more tricks than usual. A rarity in the franchise, Sonic does not run automatically. The story isn't the only thing Sega has changed.

Auto-shutoff on both components worked perfectly I don’t recall turning the units off on purpose once. As our test unit got recharged after 4 hours of use, I never got to hear this though. The Tango’s earcups aren’t small but they are comfortable.īattery life is promised to be 12 hours, and there’s a visual and audible warning when there’s ‘only’ three hours charge remaining. It’s pretty fundamental to enjoying music in-flight there’s nothing worse than stop-start audio to ruin that experience. If you’re streaming music and you receive a transmission, ComPriority quickly but gently lowers, not completely though, the volume of music and other audio from auxiliary devices. That said, radio transmissions were clear to make and receive with good side tone. For me this was most apparent when listening to myself speak – sometimes it was like having your head in a box. I don’t think Tango is quite as good as Lightspeed’s own Zulu 2, and is some way behind the likes of AKG and Bose. It was a work of seconds to link my phone, and making a call worked fine when I could get a good signal. Tango pairs easily with other devices via Bluetooth too. The promise is that up to six Tangos can be used together without interference – perfect if you’ve got something with lots of seats. Whatever magic they’ve come up with, it proved solidly reliable through all testing. Neither Wi-Fi nor Bluetooth are used for the link between the two units, but instead Lightspeed has developed its own proprietary ‘Lightspeed Link’ connection. There’s a steel clip that can be used in three positions, plus tabs on both ends if you’re looking to anchor the unit firmly somewhere in the cockpit.īattery box, bluetooth module and backup cables are all enclosed in this neat unit. Using the backup is easy, though it does disable the ANR. With 41in of cable length, your headset should always be in reach if you need to plug in. There’s a backup cable to physically connect the module to the headset in the event you lose power and therefore the Bluetooth connection. Good news here the charging point is on the side and easy to get to… must have been different designers for each component. A fabric cover gives access to change cable length (there’s 32in to play with) and to get to the battery compartment (spare batteries by the way, are £40). The panel interface module is a bit of a brick, but it is a nicely designed brick. ![]() The headband pad and ear seals are nicely squishy, the latter seal really well around your ears even if you wear glasses like I do. Weighing 510g, it’s very comfortable to wear for extended periods. The microphone swings through 270º so you can wear it on the left or the right, though that’s less of an issue when you don’t have trailing cables to organise. That might be a pragmatic solution, but when you’re paying this much money, then that shouldn’t be an issue you have to fix with a Black & Decker. ![]() “I’d just drill a USB charging lead sized hole in the door” was a remark I heard from our publisher. ![]() Quite why they didn’t make easy access to the changing port I’m not sure, but this will be an obvious fix if there’s a Tango v.2. Pay attention though, as if you didn’t, then you’ll spend a while figuring how to close it. Seeming flimsy, and held shut with an awkward latch, it swings open in a manner different to how you might expect such a component to work.īattery box door on Tango headset is more complicated than it needs to be. Unfortunately, the door is a poor piece of design. While there’s no reason to need frequent access to the battery, you do need to get to the USB charge point that also lives here. On one earcup there’s a large rocker switch for volume (but no individual left and right adjustment), while the other cup has a door for the battery. That’s no bad thing as the Sierra is actually a pretty decent headset. Visually, the headset is not the slimmest, and it appears to use many of the plastic components of Lightspeed’s ‘budget’ ANR Sierra unit (tested in FLYER June 2014). Both use the same Li-ion rechargeable batteries, though there is a panel power option available, which eliminates one battery. Made up of two components, there’s the headset and the panel interface. That is until Lightspeed came along with its Tango ANR wireless unit we got our hands on one of the first in the UK and took it flying. Well, one or two wireless headsets have appeared over the last few years, but there’s never been a unit from one of the big name headset manufacturers. ![]() In my experience, when you ask pilots what innovation they really want in a headset, they’ll most likely reply “no leads”. |
