Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:15:11 GMT

“Live with joy.”You probably wouldn’t expect to see those words on a prescription from your health care provider, but this is exactly what my neurologist prescribed to me when I was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease in 2017.I was 67.Up to that point in my life, I had made a living specifically through my brain. A career academic and the first female chancellor to serve at the University of Denver, you could even say I was known for my brain. It was the strongest muscle I had.Facing the diagnosis of a disease that is slowly destroying my memory and cognitive abilities was at first unthinkable — but this diagnosis has ushered in a new way of thinking altogether.Now, I’m focused on time. Alzheimer’s is a disease that robs us of the time we have to be ourselves while we are still alive. I don’t know how much time I have ahead of me, which is why I am choosing to focus on time filled with light and doing the things I love.But because I’m focused on time, I am also acut...

The Intersection of Art and Technology in Modern Music Production

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:15:11 GMT

The concept of music recording rooms or studios as we know them today emerged in the early 20th century with the development of audio recording technology. Prior to this advancement, live music performances were the only way to hear music, and any attempts to capture and preserve these performances were limited to basic methods such as sheet music, phonograph cylinders, or flat disks.The first professional recording studios were established in the 1920s, and they were essentially small rooms or booths equipped with primitive recording equipment. These early studios were often located in the basements of buildings, as the thick walls and low ceilings provided natural sound insulation. The recording process involved capturing sound waves onto wax or metal discs using a microphone and a cutting stylus, which etched grooves into the disc that could then be played back on a turntable.As technology improved, so did the design of recording studios. In the 1930s and 1940s, studios began to ...
