Description

The four DVDs contain audiovisual examples of the studies covered in Emergent Music and Visual Music: Inside Studies, Part One: The Book. This is the first time the material on the DVDs is available outside of Pellegrino's live performances.The presentational form of the entire package, including all aspects of the DVDs and the book, is like a record of a combination of personal visits over the years to Pellegrino's studios and to his public presentations. As such, the presentations are informal and conversational yet packed with relevant detail.DVD Volumes 1 and 2 include a broad range of studies involving a variety of video explorations, computer animations based on dynamical systems algorithms, music synthesizer-driven laser animations, and full and excerpted recordings of studio sessions and live concert performances by Pellegrino with various collaborators--dancers, video artists, and musicians. Volumes 3 and 4, called Pythagoras & Pellegrino In Petaluma, contain music synthesizer-driven, animated laser imagery-visual music meditations based on Pythagorean principles articulated as an approach to performance that is, in fact, a type of real time composed walking tour through the various states of dynamic equilibrium found around the intersections of stereo wave trains whose fundamental frequencies have whole number ratios. The meditations are video-appropriate examples of laser animations that are created via a real time compositional process, a process that can be thought of as a dance to, from, and around those intersections.EMERGENT MUSIC--music that grows out of algorithms or systems with environments designed or naturally configured to promote self-organization. In the process of generating such music, the composer's role is to create or to find algorithms or systems that are appropriate for self-organization, as well as to make choices and aesthetic judgments on the musical value of what emerges from those algorithms and systems. Furthermore, it is the composer's role to fine-tune the configuration's variables so as to emphasize what is deemed most desirable as output featuresVISUAL MUSIC--an integrated multimedia approach to music based on the principle that there are both natural visual manifestations and invented visual representations, connections, reflections, translations, mappings, and embodiments of all sonic musical elements, structures, and processes.REAL TIME COMPOSITION--an exercise in composition that relies on the principle of "tuning on-the-fly," that is, making performance adjustments to compositional variables according to the requirements of the moment-similar conceptually to the traditional approach North Indian musicians have to their ragas and talas.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

Description

In the beginning, FASA created a miniatures game that featured humans in the far future piloting 30-foot giant robot tanks called BattleMechs. The game was called BattleTech, and it was good. Then Activision assaulted our PCs with MechWarrior, a sequel, a handful of add-on packs, and MechWarrior: Mercenaries, and it was great! Then, MicroProse got the computer game license and gave us MechWarrior 3, and it was OK--not quite good, but also not bad at all. Now, Microsoft has bought FASA Interactive and the BattleTech license. So FASA gives us MechWarrior 4: Vengeance, and folks, it's awesome. MechWarrior 4 casts you as Ian Drusari, the nephew of a powerful duke, who returns to his home world from the Clan Wars to find it occupied by a rival noble family: House Steiner. You must launch a civil war and reclaim your birthright as you command a ragtag army of awesomely armed, 40-foot-tall, 80- ton, 90-mile-per-hour BattleMechs across the remote battlefields of your hostile world. Not a bad tale to tell and Microsoft made sure the telling would play as well as it looks. The graphics are flat-out amazing. Lighting effects, smoke trails, smoldering Mech armor, laser discharges, and missiles all look incredible. You can fight in deserts, arctic regions, forests, and even on the moon: all look sci-fi-movie perfect. Mechs have more animations than ever before as well. They stomp across the battlefield and reel from weapons fire convincingly, and when the cannon fire finally punches through their armor, they light up like Christmas trees. Thermonuclear Christmas trees, that is. The Mechs are faster than in previous games yet you still feel like you're piloting a lumbering, walking tank--this is a Mech combat simulator, not Quake III in power armor. The controls have been simplified, but this is a good thing. It used to take a long time to learn how to pilot 100 tons of armored death, but now the controls are much more intuitive. No longer will players have to cycle through weapons lists; now, each weapons group is controlled by its own button on the joystick. We recommend Microsoft's Sidewinder joystick, as the game's controls were written with that stick in mind. The enemy Mechs in the single-player game play well. Both your allies and the enemy use their Mechs' capabilities wisely and provide a challenge throughout the game's long and entertaining campaign. Multiplayer is offered via Microsoft's easy-to-use Gaming Zone and there is also an Instant Action mode that'll keep you playing long after the campaign is over. MechWarrior is back and looming large over the gaming scene. --Bob Andrews Pros: Immersing techno-feudal storyline Excellent balance between simulation and action Challenging, yet easy to learn. Cons: High system requirements Sometimes cheesy voice acting

MechWarrior 4: Vengeance takes place in the BattleTech universe of the future, where giant robots slug it out on faraway battlefields. The creators of BattleTech and the original MechWarrior game return to give MechWarrior 4 an all-new story line and six new BattleMechs. You can customize any of the 21 available Mechs, though some features (such as the Mad Cat's missile racks) are standard. There are 25 single-player missions spanning seven different terrain types: lunar, alpine, arctic, swamp, urban, and desert. Before going into battle, choose your lancemates based on three variable factors: their personalities, their piloting skills, and their mech. Full Internet support is included: create missions, host servers, and participate in missions cooperatively.

Are you up for the challenge with two Mechwarrior epic campaigns? MechWarrior 4: Vengeance places you in the center of an epic campaign of battle, birthright and betrayal as you command an awesomely armored 40-foot high 100 ton BattleMech.  Mechwarrior 4: Black Knight Expansion Pack includes all-new â??Mechs, vehicles, weapons, missions and more await each new recruit in MechWarrior 4: Black Knight. Do you have what it takes to make it in the Black Knight Legion? Time to find out.
