 Western Apache-English Dictionary: A Community-Generated Bilingual Dictionary $21.00 This dictionary has errors (in spelling of words and in sketch of sounds & grammar). It is essentially a revised version of a dictionary published in the early 1970s. Of course, some words have been added. It is useful to compare this dictionary to the dictionaries published on Navajo. As is easily seen, this dictionary lacks much explanational content. This dictionary may be more useful for native speakers, but for non-speakers it will be hard to look up Apache verbs (and there are thousands of words not listed in the dictionary). The Navajo Analytic Lexicon has a better layout for language learners since it orders verbs by verb stem. However, there is, unfortunately, no other dictionary in print. So, this dictionary will have to do for now. There is also good news to report: An advanced pedagogical grammar Western Apache has just been published (in 2006). This is Willem de Reuse & Phillip Goode's "A Practical Grammar of the San Carlos Apache Language" published by LINCOM. (ISBN: 3895868612). What is useful is the Western Apache-English & English-Western Apache glossary, which lists nouns by noun stem, and the appendix of verb paradigms. Having this grammar may help language learners in getting more out of the Bray dictionary. (By the way, San Carlos Apache is the variety of Western Apache spoken in San Carlos and in other areas. White Moutain Apache is the variety of Western Apache spoken on the White Mountain Reservation and in other places).  Four Electroacoustic Compositions $16.99 Composer and sound artist David Dunn was born in 1953 in San Diego, California. From 1970 to 1974 he was assistant to the American composer Harry Partch and remained active as a performer in the Harry Partch Ensemble for over a decade. He has worked in a wide variety of audio media inclusive of traditional and experimental music, installations for public exhibitions, video and film soundtracks, radio broadcasts, and bioacoustic research. 2"...with zitterings of flight released,"(in memoriam Kenneth Gaburo) was composed over an intense and continuous five-day period (including nights). While working on the piece I had in mind various images and metaphors for the drama of the spirit's separation from the body as described by a variety of shamanic and spiritual traditions. It is a memorial for my teacher Kenneth Gaburology" led him to state that he preferred knobs to terminals. Simulation 1: (Sonic Mirror) was an attempt to model a utopian project yet to be built. The original concept was conceived as a stationary cybernetic sound sculpture capable of processing acoustic data within an outdoor environment. Eventually the sculpture might function as an autonomous system structurally coupled to its surrounding environment in a manner that might allow for "learning" between components. This initial modeling was generated from a soundscape recording of the Cuyamaca Mountains of California. Wildflowers is a bit of nostalgia for the 20th century composer's search for the unique sonic and expressive attributes of electronic technology, an ideal mostly out of fashion. I wanted to compose a reclamation of the sounds of circuitry as material substance, those "sci-fi" clichs and glissandi now banished to the video game parlors. Ennoia 2 is a computer-generated composition that explores the time-domain synthesis algorithms created by Arun Chandras Wigout program. These algorithms generate continuously changing waveforms with unique structural behaviors over time. The resulting sounds have continuously changing interdependent parameters that are controlled by very few variables.  Seiko Men's Kinetic Black Ion Watch #SKH677 $395.00 Ordered this watch for my boyfriend. He loves it and it was much cheaper on amazon than purchasing it in a retail store. The color is not as dark as I thought it would be, but otherwise, we're both happy. The shipping was fast and the watch is great. |
