Goodman of that era. They would have really fast tempo songs, angular lines, chromaticism, things like that, chromatic notes. - Chromatic notes are just notes next to each other on- - Next to each other, yeah - ... on the keyboard. - I like to think of it as connecting notes.
This is not exactly to scale because I didn't have just sort of infinite room to go off here. The chromatophores, the color changing ability, and the radula.
Curiosity has these two highly sophisticated laboratory instruments that are designed to ingest solid samples and perform x-ray diffraction and x-ray fluorescence. It performs gas chromatograph mass spectrometry with a tunable laser spectrometer and a quadruple mass spectrometer. It's got all of these laboratory instruments that have been miniaturized to fit inside the Rover.
This is not exactly to scale because I didn't have just sort of infinite room to go off here. Question about chromatophores and when they evolved, and if there is a way to tell whether they evolved.
This is not exactly to scale because I didn't have just sort of infinite room to go off here. And then for the chromatophore, that's a very good question.
But I just thought of the example-- we heard just the piano-- you tried either other keyboards, and I thought, well, why keyboards, maybe just a non-chromatic percussion? It can be anything. This is just a little slice.
425 I think that's the figures they they gave stanf for tuition I think now is slowed down in chromatic tones so inviting you sometimes wonder the
And so I got this kind of spectrum of aromas from the kitchen as I walked down the stairs. That's like a building-sized gas chromatograph-- this instrument that perfumers and other people in chemistry use to take a formula and then basically shatter it into its pieces and smell each piece, if you attach a little smelling port to it.
So, the researchers who were working the site sent for this analytical chemist, a guy named Patrick McGovern, he works at the University of Pennsylvania. He ran a bunch of tests-- gas chromatography, mass spectroscopy, Feigl spot test, he shot lasers at it. He you did all the cool stuff you can do if you have a lab at Penn and found three things.
As Goring put it, an examination of these contrasted outlines shows most strikingly the difference between criminal types, as registered We are also the only mammals that try chromatic vision, seeing in the three basic colors, and not all mammals have it.
from the Bronze Age this is a time when they weren't doing the communal burying of the ancestors they're burying individuals and normally you have one either buried or chromated individual at the center of an earthern Mound and then they've raised the mound above them sometimes you get additional cremations and burials kind of shoved into the
remains of what would have probably been a standing shelter of stones and in the middle a stone kissed uh a stone box in which um chromated remains would have been placed so next time you're at a can or a kind of a weird collection of stones somewhere look on the Ordinance
the score. So they play the colors that are projected in this on on the stage. And also there's public sculptures that use the sono chromatic scale as well. So in this case, this is a song. You can download an app on your mobile phone and then you walk underneath the sculpture and then you can listen to a melody and
Oh, I should say one thing that made Takamine unique was that unlike most scientists of the time, he didn't mind patenting his processes. Modern practices, gas chromatography or gel electrophoresis, you separate things by electrical charge.
When, in fact, there's many, many other grapes that do do well, here, and could do well. He's the guy who created software based around gas chromatography that, he asserts, can predict,
your eyes were moving over the surface of that part of the image your photoreceptors in your eyes were responding to the chromatic properties of that part of the scene and correspondingly your brain was being affected by that part of the same and
So here's a picture from the book where the grey shows the stuff you can't actually represent in the color gamut. Well, if you buy something called Chroma Centric inks, you can show it all. And so people will ask us, how did you get all of that color in those pictures?
He's good, he's good. And then trumpet, could you play chromatic so it starts on D and it goes -- it's a sneaky little part -- It goes like that.
But at this point, all that stuff sounds to me like an incredibly genius five-year-old or something. So by upside down, I'm meaning chromatic inversion.
Yeah, makes perfect sense, and I've been lucky a couple of times in my life to experience that instrumentation. Oh, you've actually used a gas chromatograph olfactometer, the GCO? Yeah, yeah. What did you smell?
In that process, did you come out with a favorite? And I think it's actually a lot more fun to say gas chromatograph mass spectrometer.
There's not a kind of computational way that I think about that. Have you ever tried applying these methods to instruments that are percussion or non-chromatic percussion? Yeah, definitely. I write a lot of percussion music.
Although today we still have someone who has made a saxophone with a chromatic fingering system, a unique, remarkably acoustically well
But at this point, all that stuff sounds to me like an incredibly genius five-year-old or something. I'm going to play you the first "Goldberg Variation." And for the audience there, chromatic means he's not playing at the same scale, necessarily.
But at this point, all that stuff sounds to me like an incredibly genius five-year-old or something. Yeah, and what it means when you're doing a chromatic inversion is that you're making virtually zero choices.
so I can close it off and take it back to the lab and run it through a gas chromatogram.
This shows and unraveled chromosome down to the level of the double helix that we're all familiar with the intermediate chromatin structure in between there.
So a gene can be silenced or expressed depending upon the packing or unpacking at the chromatin level.
had Rimsky-Korsakov in Russia, who was pushing music with chromaticism, making chromaticism kind of sexy,
you can ask for some Lady Gaga dessert and then you can hear some Lady Gaga dessert. So uh this was actually presented three days ago in in San Francisco and and we're doing some experimental uh sono chromatic dinners where people eat different songs. So now I can compose music as well by looking at things instead of playing an instrument. I can just look at different colors and then I hear the music in my
created this language of improvisation that was far more sophisticated than the swing players of the big band era. You know, think of people like Benny Goodman of that era. They would have really fast tempo songs, angular lines, chromaticism, things like that, chromatic notes. - Chromatic notes are just notes next to each other on- - Next to each other, yeah - ... on the keyboard.
So in this case, we looked at genetic changes, epigenetic changes, RNA changes, protein changes, chromatin and antibody titers, B cell, T cells, telomeres,
But when I'm generally performing with Western music, I do have to tune the instrument to chromatic style.
at the time, these instruments were kind of really newfangled inventions and were kind of like the Google of yesterday, so to speak. New forms of tuning, for example, in Bach's time, and then later advancements in chromaticism with Wagner, for example-- these things that dazzled musicians and listeners alike. And they presented really endless forms of variations.
But it was just these three elements-- a bass line, then a inner voice that was moving almost chromatically, and then a melody that was kind of floating on the top.
just the very bottom note is one, and then just going up the scale not counting the chromatic notes, so going up the scale one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
