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. Available at Papa
Jazz records.

blood-sucking activities don't usually
find their way into ballets. 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.

And the costume and set design
are non-traditional as well. 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

ager of the ballet company. "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.
"Dracula" will run Fri.- Sun. Curtain
times are 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. on
Fri., 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Sat. and 3
p.m. and 7 p.m. on Sun. There will be

most of this money.
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.
