Prism (optics)
An optical prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that are designed to refract light. At least one surface must be angled—elements with two parallel surfaces are ''not'' prisms. The most familiar type of optical prism is the triangular prism, which has a triangular base and rectangular sides. Not all optical prisms are geometric prisms, and not all geometric prisms would count as an optical prism. Prisms can be made from any material that is transparent to the wavelengths for which they are designed. Typical materials include glass, acrylic and fluorite. A dispersive prism can be used to break white light up into its constituent spectral colors (the colors of the rainbow) to form a spectrum as described in the following section. Other types of prisms noted below can be used to reflect light, or to split light into components with different polarizations. Types Dispersive ''Dispersive prisms'' are used to break up light into its ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Reid received the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Music for her work on the opera. Composition history Ellen Reid began composing ''Prism'' in 2015 along with librettist Roxie Perkins. Reid and Perkins, both survivors of sexual assault themselves, began working on the opera as a way to help overcome their own trauma. "We started working on the piece about five years ago, before the #MeToo movement, before there was a kind of shift in thinking about what it meant to be a survivor. And it felt really important." Reid said in an interview with NPR on April 15, 2019. The opera took a total of 4 years of grueling self-reflection to accurately depict the emotional impact of sexual and emotional abuse. Despite being written before the #MeToo movement took the internet by storm, this kaleidoscopic opera took on greater significance as a result of t ...

In addition to performing songs that are only on the shamisen, they also use instruments such as drums and synthesizers. The commercials for Nintendo's Wii video game console that began airing in North America in November 2006 featured the Yoshida Brothers song "Kodo (Inside the Sun Remix)".

The album was reissued in 2000 by hatOLOGY. Reception In his review for AllMusic, David R. Adler states "''Prism'' is not as memorable as Shipp's later, more eclectic work, but it's still a significant statement." ''The Penguin Guide to Jazz'' says that "the two long pieces suggest, as usual in this period, that Shipp was trying out, discarding and picking up again all manner of ideas." The All About Jazz review by Glenn Astarita states "''Prism'' is a relatively strong and noteworthy addition to Matthew Shipp's increasingly significant legacy."''Prism'' review by Glenn Astarita at |
