Whether you are an international touring musician, or a weekend warrior, you should be very concerned with the power you are supplying to your pedals.....and because you are, the Carl Martin “DC Factory” Power Supply was designed just for you! With the constant addition of very 'power hungry' digital pedals on the market, we designed the DC Factory to address that very need. Highly powered and totally noise free, the DC Factory doesn't take up too much realestate on your pedalboard and literally weighs about 2/3 of a kilogram (1.5 lbs). To meet these goals, we had to forget about the standard toroidal transformers and design a fully digital switch mode power supply! The benefits go beyond ample power, the size and weight are reduced and most importantly, there is no radiation of hum to Wah pedals or certain analog drive pedals. Inside the attractive grey anodized housing are 5, 100% isolated and separated, 500 mA power supplies, four with two 9v DC output jacks, and 1 with two 12v DC output jacks. These 10 output jacks supply a massive 2500mA of pure clean power for your effects. Most digital pedals require somewhere between 300-400mA of power, and your standard analogue pedals somewhere around 20-50mA, so you have the option to run up to 5 analog pedals and 5 digital pedals simultaneously! On top of that, using the Current Doubler Cable, you can plug into 2 DC Outputs (as shown in the diagram) for 18v of power! The DC Factory is fine to use on any pedal board or on it's own, but it is also compatible with PedalTrain PT-VDL-MK (mounting brackets not included). Power supply set up... The DC Factory can power up to 5 digital pedals when you plug one of each into the five separated and isolated digital power supplies, and also 5 analogue effects when you plug them into the second jack in each of the 5 power supplies, as long as the power demand for the two pedals in each PSU does not exceed 500mA.

Conce rto da Camera II is a work for six instruments which may be further grouped into three separate entities - clarinet, string quartet, piano. In this combination, chosen by the work's commissioning organizations (the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in conjunction with Mount Holyoke College), lies the work's first challenge. While pairings of any two of these three sound types abound in the concert literature, the three together form a far less common soundscape. The main difficulty appears in the necessity to reconcile the potential of both the clarinet and the piano of acting in a soloistic capacity when pitted against the string quartet. Indeed, the three movements of the Concerto deal with this problem in various ways, with the balance of power between the six instruments' potential for unity and contrast, solo and ensemble playing, continually shifting and changing.   Yet another, more delicate, balance of power is at play here, namely, the relationship between the external, foreground level of the piece and a subtler background level. What, at first, appear like small, gentle melodic strands, mere echoes or residues of the main events, gradually assume an inner life of their own. Never actually taking over yet always there, a salient, if quiet, factor within the work's compositional fabric and evolving organism.   Though each movement includes numerous tempo fluctuations, the overall thrust of the work clearly suggests a fast-slow-fast framework, with the last movement being a loosely structured, occasionally tempestuous Rondo.

ISBN 9781594718373. Text by Rob Galea.

As a teenager, Fr. Rob Galea's reaction to those painful feelings was addiction, violence, and destructive friendships. When the recording artist and former Australian X Factor contestant finally let God in, his life completely changed. In Breakthrough, Fr. Rob shares his journey from scared teenager to passionate priest and invites you to learn more about the Catholic faith so you, too, can find hope in Christ. Contemporary culture compels approaches to evangelization that are new in ardor, method, and expression. Fr. Rob Galea's efforts to reach young people with the saving power of the Gospel exemplify all three, and in his new book, he reveals precisely where his zeal for the mission originates—in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, who is living, present, and accessible to all people in his Church. —Most Rev. Robert Barron, Auxiliary Bishop of Los Angeles Fr. Rob Galea's story reveals what happens when God is allowed to break through our little, personal worlds. It is the story of a dynamic, young, comitted Catholic priest, singer, and performer, and a testimony to the Mighty One who continues to do great things in the lives of young women and men today. —Rev. Thomas Rosica, C.S.B., CEO of the Salt and Ligh Catholic Media Foundation Fr. Rob bears his heart and soul in Breakthrough. His vulnerability and authenticity are refreshing, his story is encouraging, and his love for the Lord is an inspiration to anyone who seeks Jesus and desires to give thier life to him. I enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to anyone, especially young people who want to love the Lord and know where they fit and how God can use them. —Katie Prejean McGrady, author of Follow.

Kali Audio. Monitors and Headphones. Hal Leonard #WS-6.2. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.1433362).

UPC: 860006446895. 14.5x15.5x19.5 inches.

The WS-6.2 is a studio subwoofer with 2 x 6.5-inch high excursion woofers. Designed to be both powerful and small, the WS-6.2 takes up less than half as much space as comparably performing subwoofers. Despite its diminutive form factor, it is capable of 120 dB max SPL and 27 Hz lower frequency response. The woofer are horizontally opposed, meaning that there is no net vibration from the subwoofer. A built-in 80 Hz high-passed output makes it ideal for pairing with most popular studio monitors, including Kali's LP-and IN-Series monitors. A footswitch jack allows users to bypass both the sub and the crossover so they can hear their mix on their full range speakers. Footswitches are sold separately, but a number of inexpensive options are available at every music retailer. In addition to the 80 Hz crossover, the subwoofer can be set for LFE mode or be used with an external crossover. Polarity may also be reversed if necessary. Like all of Kali's speakers, the US-6.2 uses a unique port tube that virtually eliminates chuffing and port compression, allowing for clear, powerful bass with minimal distortion.

Rehe arsals should be structured in a way that trusts that human beings are truly the miracle workers and that if we work on being human, the magic of this thing called “moral acoustic” will resonate in a powerful, honest, and compelling way. For at the very end of the day, our goal in harnessing the energy contained in a moral acoustic is to create the most honest and direct communicative voice possible—a voice that can change lives and enrich our humanness just by hearing it, feeling it, and being touched by its ‘moral acoustic.’ —James Jordan, from Chapter 4 This volume is a continuation of the journey James Jordan began in his now iconic book The Musician’s Soul. In The Moral Acoustic of Sound, Jordan explores and defines those factors that create a “moral acoustic”—th ose human resonances among and between musicians. This book delves into the nature of authenticity and honesty in choral sound and how conductors and teachers, through these new understandings, can draw forth that which is living within each ensemble of musicians no matter their age or experience. Using the power of metaphor, this book attempts to provide answers to unlock the magic and mysteries in music making and human expression. Specific to the journey of The Moral Acoustic of Sound: Understanding trust between and among musicians The relationship of intonation and color as a function of moral acoustic Humility and its role in music making Thatching within an ensemble Enfleshment as a vital part of music making Metaphors that guide conductors to deeper listening Fostering generosity in music making Grammy-nominated conductor and music psychologist James Jordan is Professor and Senior Conductor at Westminster Choir College in Princeton, NJ, where he conducts the acclaimed Westminster Williamson Voices and the Westminster Schola Cantorum.

Flathead 5-String Banjos of the 1930s and 1940s. Reference. Guitar Reference. Softcover. 168 pages. Published by Centerstream Publications (HL.1241).

ISBN 9781574242461. UPC: 884088397791. 8.5x11.0x0.383 inches.

While Gibson produced literally thousands of banjos prior to WWII, only a handful were made in the now most desirable configuration: the Original Flathead Five-String Mastertone. Since Earl Scruggs helped to make them the most sought-after banjos in the world over 60 years ago, these instruments have amassed a cult-like following. These particular banjos featured a completely innovative design when the Gibson Company introduced them around 1930. They have since become the benchmark in design, sound quality, and just sheer power among banjo players. They have therefore also become the inspiration for nearly every successful 5-string banjo that has been manufactured for the past five decades. Like Martin Dreadnaught and Fender Stratocaster guitars, the Gibson Mastertone Banjo has achieved an exalted status: It is appreciated far beyond its utilitarian purpose as a musical instrument, and considered a truly original American art form. The Mastertone design and style are instantly recognizable by musicians and music lovers around the world, even if imitated by other manufacturers. Of the 130 or so Original Flathead Five-String Mastertones known to exist, 19 of the absolute best are featured here. The Scruggs, Reno, Jenkins, Crowe, Osborne, Huber and Mills banjos are shown in all of their glory, with details of their known histories and provenances, as well as never-before-seen photos, bills of sale, factory shipping ledgers, and other ephemera relating to these rare and highly desirable instruments.

Music of enormous excitement and expectation - marked very animated - with brass blazing a powerful call against a tingling triplet figure in support. In Wagner's own words - awaken the mute lines of this score to bright surrounding life.

In a letter addressed to My dear Liszt, dated May 1852, Richard Wagner writes: It was you who awakened the mute lines of this score to bright surrounding life. He was referring to a performance of his opera Lohengrin which Franz Liszt conducted at the Weirner Court Theatre on August 28, 1850. The letter was sent from Zurich, since Wagner was exiled from Germany at this time. He had completed his romantic opera, Lohengrin, some five years earlier but doubted whether he would ever hear it performed. The action takes place in Antwerp in the first half of the 10th century. Elsa and Lohengrin are to be married and the 3rd Act opens as they proceed in great splendour, accompanied by their respective noblewomen and noblemen, to the cathedral. As a Prelude to the curtain rising Wagner unleashed music of enormous excitement and expectation - marked very animated - with brass blazing a powerful call against a tingling triplet figure in support. In the opera this magnificent Prelude leads directly into the Bridal Scene as Elsa and Lohengrin make their way solemnly to the betrothal ceremony. Wagner achieves this change of mood and atmosphere most skillfully. In arranging the Prelude for concert performance the challenge was to provide an ending which provides a satisfactory climax to Wagner's blaze of instrumental colour, without proceeding to the solemn betrothal music. This was resolved by using the composer's own mighty flourish to end Act I of his opera. Now, the gauntlet is thrown down to all who perform it to - in Wagner's own words - awaken the mute lines of this score to bright surrounding life..
