Fripp & Eno
Fripp & Eno is a UK-based ambient music side project composed of musician and composer Brian Eno and guitarist Robert Fripp. The duo have released four studio albums, beginning with 1973's '' No Pussyfooting''. The music created by this pair is entirely instrumental and makes extensive use of Frippertronics, a tape delay technique developed by Fripp. Much of the duo's music combines Frippertronics with Fripp's guitar, the Fripp Pedalboard and Frizzbox (with subsequent sound treatments by Eno) along with Eno playing various keyboards, synthesizers and modified Revox A77 tape recorders. Fripp & Eno released their first two albums in quick succession, with ''No Pussyfooting'' released in 1973 and the follow-up album '' Evening Star'' released two years later in 1975. Following the release of ''Evening Star'', the duo went on a studio album hiatus, though members Brian Eno and Robert Fripp continued to collaborate on each other's solo albums. In 2004, the duo returned to the studio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Robert Fripp Albums
The name Robert is an ancient Germanic given name, from Proto-Germanic "fame" and "bright" (''Hrōþiberhtaz''). Compare Old Dutch ''Robrecht'' and Old High German ''Hrodebert'' (a compound of '' Hruod'' () "fame, glory, honour, praise, renown, godlike" and ''berht'' "bright, light, shining"). It is the second most frequently used given name of ancient Germanic origin.Reaney & Wilson, 1997. ''Dictionary of English Surnames''. Oxford University Press. It is also in use as a surname. Another commonly used form of the name is Rupert. After becoming widely used in Continental Europe, the name entered England in its Old French form ''Robert'', where an Old English cognate form (''Hrēodbēorht'', ''Hrodberht'', ''Hrēodbēorð'', ''Hrœdbœrð'', ''Hrœdberð'', ''Hrōðberχtŕ'') had existed before the Norman Conquest. The feminine version is Roberta. The Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish form is Roberto. Robert is also a common name in many Germanic languages, including Eng ...

Brian Eno Albums
Brian (sometimes spelled Bryan in English) is a male given name of Irish and Breton origin, as well as a surname of Occitan origin. It is common in the English-speaking world. It is possible that the name is derived from an Old Celtic word meaning "high" or "noble". For example, the element ''bre'' means "hill"; which could be transferred to mean "eminence" or "exalted one". The name is quite popular in Ireland, on account of Brian Boru, a 10th-century High King of Ireland. The name was also quite popular in East Anglia during the Middle Ages. This is because the name was introduced to England by Bretons following the Norman Conquest. Bretons also settled in Ireland along with the Normans in the 12th century, and 'their' name was mingled with the 'Irish' version. Also, in the north-west of England, the 'Irish' name was introduced by Scandinavian settlers from Ireland. Within the Gaelic-speaking areas of Scotland, the name was at first only used by professional families of Iris ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Altair
Altair is the brightest star in the constellation of Aquila (constellation), Aquila and the list of brightest stars, twelfth-brightest star in the night sky. It has the Bayer designation Alpha Aquilae, which is Latinisation of names, Latinised from α Aquilae and abbreviated Alpha Aql or α Aql. Altair is an A-type main-sequence star, A-type main-sequence star with an apparent visual magnitude of 0.77 and is one of the vertices of the Summer Triangle Asterism (astronomy), asterism; the other two vertices are marked by Deneb and Vega. It is located at a distance of from the Sun. Altair is currently in the G-cloud—a nearby interstellar cloud formed from an accumulation of gas and dust. Altair rotates rapidly, with a velocity at the equator of approximately 286 km/s.From values of ''v'' sin ''i'' and ''i'' in the second column of Table 1, Monnier et al. 2007. This is a significant fraction of the star's estimated breakup speed of 400 km/s. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ankaa
Alpha Phoenicis (α Phoenicis, abbreviated Alpha Phe or α Phe), formally named Ankaa , (with the same pronunciation) is the brightest star in the constellation of Phoenix. Nomenclature ''Alpha Phoenicis'' is the star's Bayer designation. It also bore the traditional name ''Ankaa'' sometime after 1800, from the Arabic العنقاء ''al-ʽanqāʼ'' "the phoenix" for the name of the constellation. The International Astronomical Union has formally adopted the ''Ankaa'' as the proper name for Alpha Phoenicis. Medieval Arab astronomers formed the constellation of the dhow (where Phoenix is), so another popular name for the star is ''Nair al Zaurak'' from نائر الزورق''nayyir az-zawraq'' "the bright (star) of the skiff". The Latin translation is ''Cymbae,'' from ''lūcida cumbae''. In Chinese caused by adaptation of the European southern hemisphere constellations into the Chinese system, (), meaning ''Firebird'', refers to an asterism consisting of α Phoe ...

Lupus (constellation)
Lupus is a constellation of the mid-Southern Sky. Its name is Latin for wolf. Lupus was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy, and it remains one of the IAU designated constellations, 88 modern constellations but was long an Asterism (astronomy), asterism associated with the just westerly, larger constellation Centaurus. History and mythology In ancient times, the constellation was considered an Asterism (astronomy), asterism within Centaurus, and was considered to have been an arbitrary animal, killed, or about to be killed, on behalf of, or for, Centaurus. An alternative visualization, attested by Eratosthenes, saw this constellation as a wineskin held by Centaurus. It was not separated from Centaurus until Hipparchus, Hipparchus of Bithynia named it ( meaning "beast") in the 2nd century BC. The Greek constellation is probably based on the Babylonian figure known as the Uridimmu, Mad Dog (UR.IDIM). This was a strange hybrid creature that c ...

Tarazed
Gamma Aquilae is a star in the constellation of Aquila. Its name is a Bayer designation that is Latinized from γ Aquilae, and abbreviated gamma Aql or γ Aql. The star is formally known as Tarazed, pronounced . It has an apparent visual magnitude of 2.712, making it readily visible to the naked eye at night. Parallax measurements place it at a distance of from the Sun. The star is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −2.8 km/s. Properties Gamma Aquilae is a relatively young star with an age of about 270 million years. Nevertheless, it has reached a stage of its evolution where it has consumed the hydrogen at its core and expanded into what is termed a bright giant star, with a stellar classification of K3 II. The star is now burning helium into carbon in its core. After it has finished generating energy through nuclear fusion, Gamma Aquilae will become a white dwarf. The star has an estimated 3.5 times the mass of the Sun and has expanded ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lyra
, from ; pronounced: ) is a small constellation. It is one of the 48 listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and is one of the modern 88 constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union. Lyra was often represented on star maps as a vulture or an eagle carrying a lyre, and hence is sometimes referred to as Vultur Cadens or Aquila Cadens ("Falling Vulture" or "Falling Eagle"), respectively. Beginning at the north, Lyra is bordered by Draco, Hercules, Vulpecula, and Cygnus. Lyra is nearly overhead in temperate northern latitudes shortly after midnight at the start of summer. From the equator to about the 40th parallel south it is visible low in the northern sky during the same (thus winter) months. Vega, Lyra's brightest star, is one of the brightest stars in the night sky, and forms a corner of the famed Summer Triangle asterism. Beta Lyrae is the prototype of a class of binary stars known as Beta Lyrae variables. These binary stars are so close to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Meissa
Meissa , designated Lambda Orionis (λ Orionis, abbreviated Lambda Ori, λ Ori) is a star in the constellation of Orion. It is a multiple star approximately away with a combined apparent magnitude of 3.33. The main components are an O8 giant star and a B-class main sequence star, separated by about 4″. Despite Meissa being more luminous and only slightly further away than Rigel, it appears 3 magnitudes dimmer at visual wavelengths, with much of its radiation emitted in the ultraviolet due to its high temperature. Nomenclature ''Lambda Orionis'' is the star's Bayer designation. The traditional name ''Meissa'' derives from the Arabic ''Al-Maisan'' which means 'The Shining One'. ''Al-Maisan'' was originally used for Gamma Geminorum, but was mistakenly applied to Lambda Orionis and the name stuck. In 2016, the International Astronomical Union organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN's first bulleti ...

Pitchfork (website)
''Pitchfork'' (formerly ''Pitchfork Media'') is an American online music magazine founded in 1996 by Ryan Schreiber in Minneapolis. It originally covered alternative and independent music, and expanded to cover genres including pop, hip-hop, jazz and metal. ''Pitchfork'' is one of the most influential music publications to have emerged in the internet age. In the 2000s, ''Pitchfork'' distinguished itself from print media through its unusual editorial style, frequent updates and coverage of emerging acts. It was praised as passionate, authentic and unique, but criticized as pretentious, mean-spirited and elitist, playing into stereotypes of the cynical hipster. It is credited with popularizing acts such as Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene, Bon Iver and Sufjan Stevens. ''Pitchfork'' relocated to Chicago in 1999 and Brooklyn, New York, in 2011. It expanded with projects including the annual Pitchfork Music Festival (launched in Chicago in 2006), the video site ''Pitchf ...
