Eta Ursae Minoris (η UMi, η Ursae Minoris) is a star in the constellation Ursa Minor. It has the traditional names Anwar al Farkadain and Alasco. The first is from the Arabic أنور الفرقدين ’anwar al-farqadayn "the brighter of the two calves", as opposed to Ahfa al Farkadain (ζ UMi) "the dimmer of the two calves"; these names were originally applied to Kochab, and Pherkad, respectively, the other two stars in the rectangle of Ursa Minor.
Eta Ursae Minoris is a yellow-white F-type main sequence dwarf of spectral type F5V with an apparent magnitude of +4.95, making it visible to the naked eye. It is approximately 97 light years from Earth.
This star has 1.41 times the mass of the Sun, with a projected rotational velocity of 76.0 km s−1.
Zeta Ursae Minoris (ζ UMi, ζ Ursae Minoris) is a star in the constellation Ursa Minor. It has the traditional name Akhfa al Farkadain, from the Arabic أخفى الفرقدين aḫfa al-farqadayn "the dimmer of the two calves", as opposed to Anwar al Farkadain (η UMi) "the brighter of the two calves". These names were originally applied to Pherkad and Kochab, respectively, the other two stars in the rectangle of Ursa Minor.
Zeta Ursae Minoris is a white stellar class A-type main sequence star with an apparent magnitude of +4.28. It is approximately 380 light years from Earth.
Despite its classification as a main sequence dwarf star, Zeta UMi is 3.4 times the mass of the sun and its luminosity is about 200 solar luminosities. At a surface temperature of 8,700 kelvins, this star is actually on the verge of becoming a giant star. Zeta UMi may also be a variable of the Delta Scuti type.
Part of my cycle "The Stars of the Constellations" for the constellation Ursa Minor. An electroacoustic, collective improvisation for 4 tenor recorders with ambient effects (reverb) from 2014. The music is set to the graphic score. It is the companion piece to Anwar al Farkadain. Both those stars are in the Little Dipper. Ahfa al Farkadain is the star that joins the pot to the handle of the Little Dipper and Anwar al Farkadain is one star counterclockwise. Ahfa al Farkadain is a fairly dim star at VM +4.29. Its name means "brighter of the two calves" as opposed to Anwar al Farkadain which is "the dimmer of the two calves". Hand copied score - recorded in GarageBand in 2016.
Part of my cycle "The Stars of the Constellations" for the constellation Ursa Minor. An electroacoustic, collective improvisation for SSAT recorders with ambient effects (echo & reverb) from 2014. Music set to the graphic score. I recorded a solo part and then sketched out a rough graphic sketch and improvised the other parts over that. After that I did a rough transcription of what I had played and made the graphic score from that. That pencil score was copied out in Aug. 2016 when I put this video together. There are actually five parts at times. I improvised a few alternate tracks and kept a few licks from those in places. Eventually I will play it again from the updated score and see how that differs. Another "punk avant guard" piece. Anwar al Farkadain is a fairly dim star at VM +4...

Fineste Sacho træner ude for 2. gang og første gang på dette underlag ;) Han var blevet bange for en stor bil lige inden vi filmede, derfor han på et par af springene hopper lidt sjovt :)
Careers Without College was a Toronto band started up by Ron Naples (guitar), Tony Oldland (guitar, vocals) and Leo Cormier (drums) around 1982 with various additions to round out the band (including Al Barton, Dennis Travis and Al Kingston on bass). Peter MacDonald (lead vocals) and Michel Plourde (bass, keys, vocals) joined the next year and they rehearsed in Tony's basement bedroom twice a week for the next year. Their first gig, other than a couple of parties, was a 3 night stint at the Club Aruba (Queen St. West at McCaull - later it was "The Ultrasound" above X-Rays) where they played to three packed houses. Someone had a video recorder on the last night and my friend Jeff McCollough manned the camera for us (we never paid or thanked him - sorry Jeff). After that, the band played oc...

A short video of me attempting to play "Amazing Grace" on a Behringer Vintage Time Machine pedal. I was fooling around with the feedback control and found you can sort of play it like a theremin. This was my first attempt at doing this.
A short renaissance piece by Orlando Gibbons arranged for recorder trio (SST) and played by me. It was originally written for the John Playfords "Musical Companion" (London, 1667).The video shows me playing all three parts and the music in the upper corner. One of five pieces in a small book entitled "Old English Pieces for Three Recorders" I picked up when the Toronto Music Centre closed down. Arranged by Edgar H. Hunt ©Schott & Co. Ltd. (London) 1937 Made in iMovie - Sept. 2016
