Double Bass - Check this article out
City Arts Magazine, is not only a great magazine, but now combined with Sound magazine (bringing more music coverage to each issue) and printing copies specific to Seattle, the Eastside, and Tacoma, it's technically 3 really great magazines!
This month we enjoyed the article, Double Bass, about Joe Kaufman, Seattle Symphony's assistant principal bass. He is a musician with a unique story to tell about his path to becoming a musician.
This article can only be found in the Seattle print version of this month's City Arts, but lots of great articles and features can also be found online at www.cityartsmagazine.com!

The Incredible Machine!
Last week we received an email with this amazing video and just had to share it with you!
This is a computer animation piece called Pipe Dream that was created by Wayne Lytle, Dave Crognale, and their team at Animusic. Wouldn't it be cool if there were a real machine out there that could do this?

Our First Crossroads Concert of the Season!
Last Sunday the Sinfonia Orchestra, led by Conductor Joseph Kempisty, performed to a full house at Crossroads Mall in Bellevue. Sinfonia performed twice that afternoon to a busy Crossroads! Mr. Kempisty kept the group on their toes as he picked up the tempo in the final piece of the concert, a hungarian dance.

What will they think of next?
With Halloween right around the corner, we were looking for some great music inspired Halloween costumes, or something fun to post...well, we did not find any inspiring musical instrument halloween costumes, but we did find http://www.inventorspot.com/ and discovered something pretty cool.
It turns out there are sections of highway in Japan that can turn your car into a musical intrument...sorta.
Here's the basic details from the website: The theory behind the Melody Road is surprisingly imple: a car driven over a series of grooves cut into a roadway will create a resonance as the tires repeatedly cross the grooves. You may have noticed this effect while driving over roads under construction or highway ramps that have been grooved to provide extra traction in inclement weather conditions.
To read the full article and watch a video of Melody Road in action click here: http://inventorspot.com/articles/melody_road_gives_whole_new_mean_8235
