Friday, October 27, 1995 1. Hans Reichel: "Lower Lurum" Nans Reichel is the inventor of an instrument called the daxophone. Despite detailed descriptions of its design in the liner notes, I still have no idea how it works. It does, however, give one of the most distinctive instrumental sounds I've ever heard. Some of the sounds are very similar to those John Zorn ' achieved on Locus Solus with the use of multitracking and tape manipulation, but everything was recorded in real time with no editing. The work is set up as an operetta for daxophone and guitar (the guitar is a doubieneck also designed by Reichel). This CD is indescribably amazing.

But then, this isn't "Swan Lake." The Columbia City Ballet opens with "Dracula- Ballet with a Bite" this weekend, but it may not be what you expect. "For students who haven't been introduced to ballet, this is an introduction," said Sarah Whitehead, administrative assistant for the Columbia City Ballet. "Ballet is not neccessarily classic music and boring stuff. We hope people come and become interested in not just Dracula' but in ballet in general." What's so unusual about "Dracula?" Well, of course, there's the subject matter. As most people know, "Dracula" is the story of the young Harker family and their encounter with vampirism. There are kidnappings, battles and even some blood and gore. In the past, Columbia City Ballet has portrayed the story through ballet with great success. Even the drowsiest ballet-goer must wake up for Lucy's bloody death scene.

Don't expect too many tutus or harsh buns. Dracula's maidens and zombie women wear tight, flowing dresses, and they really let their hair down, man. And if it's anything like last year, Peter Kozak fans (this includes anv eirls who just like hunks in general) will enjoy the scene where he goes "back to basics." The music and choreography are completely different from other ballets. Thomas Semanski composed the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers award-winning score of the ballet. The Columbia performance will include surround-sound and high-tech sound effects that will spook some Halloween spirit into viewers. Don't be concerned about seeing the same show all over again if you caught "Dracula" last year. The Columbia City Ballet tries to make ballet brand-new each year. "To give all Columbians a chance to see 'Dracula,' the Columbia City Ballet has made it a permanent fu ture on its performing calendar," said William Starrett, artistic directoi/manm Booking I BETWEEN THE PAGE, BEN PILLOW Asst.

"Like the "Nutcracker,' I will make it different and fresh with every season's production." "We tend to change the choreography every year," Whitehead said. "[Starrett's] choreography has been almost entirely added. There was no choreography for Ron, just stage direction." Most of the other dancers have experience with their roles. Peter Kozak will play Jonathan Harker, and Prima Ballerina Mariclare Miranda will portray the doomed Lucy Westenra. Mina Harker will be danced by Taber Cathcart and Leigh Sheridan; the maidens will be Sylvia Dansby-Smith with Tracey Yanckello, Betsey Clark, Leigh Sheridan and Karin Rindal; and Arthur Holmwood will be danced by Cole Garrison and Colin Day.

The guide's how-to literature concludes with a "Reality Checks" chapter that, among other things, offers ways to regain the band camaraderie that may diminish after spending endless six-hour drives with the same four people over a five-week period. Overall, Garo has compiled a very complete guide that draws from not only her experiences, but an array of others' as well. For the highly-motivated, serious and assertive independent band, limited in their immediate opportunity but not in their long-term goals, "Book Your Own Tour" could serve as a formidable formula for success. >ution = lrlrof r register by having their )n: :00 pm 1:00 pm )0 pm be posted on Monday, ious residence hall 0 pm '0 pm be available to the first ornate list noon - 2:00 after 4:00 pm will be iter the lottery from 9:00 ind when entering the
