Kobalt

Kobalt is a fictional character, a comic book superhero published by DC Comics. He first appears in Kobalt #1 (June 1993), and was created by John Rozum and Arvell Jones.

Publication history

Kobalt was somewhat a super-hero, but had built a ruthless and fierce reputation. Some criminals even believed he was a cannibal. Kobalt carries a vendetta against the St. Cloud organization. Kobalt's first appearance was in Kobalt #1 as he harasses some of the employees of St. Cloud. After the battle, Kobalt learns from another vigilante, Clover, several of Cloud's men are manipulating his organization for profit and other sinister purposes, without Cloud being aware of it.

Despite this, Kobalt refuses to team up with Clover. He insists on no new partners ever and it is soon learned he had at least one before, who had managed to set up a very illegal phone line that only a few know about. One of these people is the father of Page, an inept superhero groupie. Kobalt owes Page's father and he calls this in, wanting him to train his son to be a genuine superhero.

Music

Music is an art form and cultural activity whose medium is sound and silence. The common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics (loudness and softness), and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture (which are sometimes termed the "color" of a musical sound). Different styles or types of music may emphasize, de-emphasize or omit some of these elements. Music is performed with a vast range of instruments and with vocal techniques ranging from singing to rapping, and there are solely instrumental pieces, solely vocal pieces and pieces that combine singing and instruments. The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike; "art of the Muses"). In its most general form, the activities describing music as an art form include the production of works of music (songs, tunes, symphonies, and so on), the criticism of music, the study of the history of music, and the aesthetic examination of music. Ancient Greek and Indian philosophers defined music as tones ordered horizontally as melodies and vertically as harmonies. Common sayings such as "the harmony of the spheres" and "it is music to my ears" point to the notion that music is often ordered and pleasant to listen to. However, 20th-century composer John Cage thought that any sound can be music, saying, for example, "There is no noise, only sound."
