We present Photone, an interactive installation combining photographic images and musical sonification. An image is displayed, and a dynamic musical score is generated based on the overall color properties of the image and the color value of the pixel under the cursor. Hence, the music changes as the user moves the cursor. This simple approach turns out to have interesting experiential qualities in use. The composition of images and music invites the user to explore the combination of hues and textures, and musical sounds. We characterize the resulting experience in Photone as one of modal synergy where visual and auditory output combine holistically with the chosen interaction technique. This tentative finding is potentially relevant to further research in auditory displays and multimodal interaction.

Досліджуються функції музики в сучасному драматичному театрі. Актуалізовано новітні публікації провідних європейських науковців, серед яких роботи Леманна Г.-Т., Фішер-Ліхте Е., Геббельса Х. Здійснено огляд характерних ознак сучасної театральної тенденції – музикалізації драматичного театру. Розглянуто основні положення класифікації функцій сценічної музики та звукових ефектів театрознавця Паві П. Проаналізовано музику і її функції у виставах, інсценізованих за творами М. Матіос та окреслено різні прийоми музичного рішення вистав. Визначено важливу роль звукових ефектів і немузичних звуків як складових елементів музичної партитури.Ключові слова: функції музики, музична драматургія, музикалізація, звуковий ефект, звуковий простір, музичний тон, багаторівневість. The article explores the role of music in modern dramatic theater. The leading European scientists’ latest publications including the works of Lehmann G.-T., Fischer-Lichte E., Goebbels H are actualized. The research outlines the characteristic features of the modern theatrical tendency and the musicalization of dramatic theater. The paper explores the fundamental principles of the classification of the functions of stage music and sound effects made by thetheatrical expert Pavi P. The author analyses the music and its functions in the plays based on the works of M. Matios and focuses on the various methods of choosing the music for performances. The important role of sound effects and non-musical sounds as constituent elements of musical score is defined.Key words: music functions, musical dramaturgy, musicalization, sound effect, sound expanse, musical tone, multi-leveledness.

This article explores the process of reimagining Martha Graham's 1935 “lost” work, Imperial Gesture, into a complete work for performance. The solo was last performed by Graham in 1938 and constitutes the first political solo of her career. With no musical score, no notation score, and scant archival evidence, Graham dancer, régisseur, and contemporary choreographer Kim Jones pieced together the fragments left behind. Beginning in 2011, Jones assembled a team of artists in order to reimagine Imperial Gesture for the Martha Graham Dance Company. This article discusses how Jones found primary and secondary sources including thirty-two, unpublished, photographic images by Barbara Morgan; a space diagram by set designer Arch Lauterer; a poem, “Imperial Gesture for Martha Graham,” by John Malcolm Brinnin; and numerous critical reviews from the 1930s. Jones was inspired to imagine and express Graham's sense of activism and social justice within this “lost” work. The dance is a portrait of the undoing of an arrogant despot. Although mainstream critics had little to say about Imperial Gesture, arts critics for Communist and Leftist publications reviewed Imperial Gesture as an example of politically charged art that argued against fascism. The process of reimagining opens up the possibility for a deeper investigation of Graham's work as both publicly and personally political. Additionally, the creative act of reimagining her lost work adds new repertory to the Martha Graham Dance Company for a new generation of Graham dancers and new audiences. In so doing, it also opens a path for a new historiography of Graham's work and legacy.

Intensity Ratios

Cliff and Lorimer (1) have proposed a simple approach to thin foil x-ray analy sis based on the ratio of x-ray peak intensities. However, there are several experimental pitfalls which must be recognized in obtaining the desired x-ray intensities. Undesirable x-ray induced fluorescence of the specimen can result from various mechanisms and leads to x-ray intensities not characteristic of electron excitation and further results in incorrect intensity ratios.In measuring the x-ray intensity ratio for NiAl as a function of foil thickness, Zaluzec and Fraser (2) found the ratio was not constant for thicknesses where absorption could be neglected. They demonstrated that this effect originated from x-ray induced fluorescence by blocking the beam with lead foil. The primary x-rays arise in the illumination system and result in varying intensity ratios and a finite x-ray spectrum even when the specimen is not intercepting the electron beam, an ‘in-hole’ spectrum. We have developed a second technique for detecting x-ray induced fluorescence based on the magnitude of the ‘in-hole’ spectrum with different filament emission currents and condenser apertures.
