Lydian founder explores beauty in Korean music
Judy Eissenberg pursues interest in people, places, peace and world music
Judy Eissenberg is sitting in the Slosberg Music Center with a janggu, a drum, at her feet and a danso, a bamboo flute, in her hands. She holds the flute vertically and blows lightly across its top, hoping she remembers how to create a sound.
She's just returned from the National Gugak Center in South Korea, where she spent two weeks learning about Korean music and culture at the government's invitation.
"When you learn about [another country's] traditions, you get somewhat below the surface. When I learn the beauty of another tradition, I have deep, warm feelings…" she says, her voice full of emotion. "I'm never the same."
Eissenberg, who has been teaching music at Brandeis since 1980, when she also co-founded the Lydian String Quartet, is not an ethnomusicologist by profession, but she's interested in people and places.
And in peace.
The events of Sept. 11, 2001, caused Eissenberg, a native of Tennessee and current Harvard, Mass., resident, to reconsider the value of playing and teaching music.
"I thought as a musician, I could learn about the beauty of other traditions to help me not be afraid," Eissenberg says. "I feel at least some element of what we do should be directed at peace. With music I can show how people create together, not destroy."
When she thinks about the music of another culture, she considers the hopes and dreams behind its sound. It was with that idea in mind that she founded the Music Unites Us program, which brings prominent foreign musicians to Brandeis for brief residencies each semester, and it was in that spirit that she embarked on the trip to Korea this summer.
To her, the experience, which included everything from instrument lessons to folk dance performances to shaman ceremonies, felt like jumping into "an enormous bowl of candy." She means that both in an emotional and musical sense.
In Korea, Eissenberg learned to play the janggu, a drum with an hourglass shape and two heads made of animal skins, and the danso, a notched, end-blown vertical bamboo flute on which, she says, it took some of the 19 workshop attendees hours to even create a sound.
In contrast to the music she plays with the Lydians, which explores different levels of smoothness, traditional Korean music, or Gugak, explores levels of roughness, Eissenberg says. She is interested in delving into those rough edges, exploring the boundaries of what sounds good and what does not.
"It's full of dissonance, melody, complex drumming, rhythm," she says. "Dissonance, to me, is the pinnacle of beauty. Flirting with chaos, then the relief when you get past it."
The exploration, however, is key. Like the Pacific Rim Festival that blends Western and Korean music and instruments, at which she's played with the Lydians, she's interested in creating a new space – exclusively belonging to neither tradition.
Eissenberg is passionate about the music she plays with Lydians, recordings of which she listened to at the birth of her 13-year-old daughter, and which she wants played at her funeral, but her interests also extend beyond performing Western music.
"I've never been interested in just playing music," Eissenberg says. "I like creating environments, and I don't have to be on stage to do that… I feel really fortunate. The quartet is what I'd like to do all my life. I'd also like to approach being an ethnomusicologist," and study music in the context of the society and culture in which it is created.
This year, the Lydians will premiere original music for the string quartet: a new piece by composer Harold Meltzer, and three pieces written by Brandeis faculty composers in celebration of Fred Lawrence's presidency and soon release a recording of all the late Beethoven string quartets. Regardless of musical genre, her performances are influenced by her experiences abroad.
Back at Brandeis, she'll incorporate some of what she learned in Korea into her Intro to World Music course this year, and also take a stab at creating those environments. Part of the task is to teach students to listen. When asked when they do most of their listening, more than half of her students respond "while studying," she says.
"That's not listening," Eissenberg says. "We need to redefine what 'listening' means."

PHOENIX — The Mesa Police Department is investigating a fatal stabbing that occurred early Saturday evening at an apartment complex near Alma School Road and Main Street.
The stabbing is believed to be the result of an altercation between two adult males. However, according to Steve Berry, a spokesperson with the Mesa PD, several people were outside the complex at the time of the initial altercation between two adult males, and that has slowed down the investigation process.
From initial dialogue with eyewitnesses, Berry told said that a lead has been established but not located at this time.
It is unknown if the two men had any prior relationship.
Police said the victim died at the scene. They have not released the identities of the victim or any possible suspects.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

text: As long as she continues to nurse frequently- say 5 or more times a day? Then it's okay if baby eats a lot of solids. I agree that the amount of solids your LO eats is a lot, but some babies do make the transition to eating a lot of solids earlier than others do. The only thing I would watch for is self-weaning/nursing strikes- when a baby realizes she can get her needs met by consuming solids, she may decide to reduce or eliminate her nursing. Not that that sort of thing is common- but I do know one mom who had that experience with her kid. Because her LO was such a good eater when it came to solids, it was impossible to lure her back to the breast when she went on strike after a nasty bite and a shocked reaction from mom.

Working Groups
RHIC Links
RHIC II Science Workshops
The series of RHIC II Science Workshops began in November 2004, at which time seven Working Groups were initiated. These groups met in workshops through 2005, with the purpose of providing an organized forum for the community to address and describe quantitatively the most important science issues for the proposed RHIC II luminosity upgrade, and corresponding detector upgrades.
Each Working Group was led by three convenors representing theory and experiment, and each has produced a detailed report (except for the "New Directions" group, which provided a sounding board and input to the other groups). The Working Group reports are linked below. The summary "white paper" document, "Future Science at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider" (PDF), is based on these reports, and was prepared by a Writing Committee that included at least one convenor from each of the Working Groups.
The version posted here is going to press by the end of December 2006 to make printed copies available for the APS Division of Nuclear Physics Town Meetings taking place in January 2007 ( http://dnp.nscl.msu.edu/ ). Please send comments to Tony Frawley (email@example.com), Carl Gagliardi (firstname.lastname@example.com), or Tom Ludlam (firstname.lastname@example.com)

Alternate Names
Oxygen - home use
Because of your sickness, you may need to use oxygen to help you breathe. You will need to know how to use and
Kinds of Oxygen
Your oxygen will be stored under pressure in tanks or produced by a machine called an oxygen concentrator.
You can get large tanks to keep in your home and small tanks to take with you when you go out.
Liquid oxygen is the best kind to use.
- Liquid oxygen takes up less space than oxygen tanks.
- Liquid oxygen is the easiest form of oxygen to transfer to smaller tanks to take with you when you go out.
- Liquid oxygen will slowly run out, even when you are not using it.
Anoxygen concentrator:
- Makes sure your oxygen supply does not run out. The concentrator never has to be refilled.
- Needs electricity to work. You must have a back-up tank of oxygen gas in case your power goes out.
Sometimes, you can use a portable concentrator, which is battery operated.
Ways to Breathe the Oxygen
You will need other equipment to use your oxygen.
One item is called a nasal cannula. This plastic tubing wraps over your ears, like eyeglasses, with two prongs that fit into your nostrils.
- Wash the plastic tubing once or twice a week with soap and water, and then rinse very well.
- Replace your cannula every 2 to 4 weeks.
- If you get a cold, change the cannula when your cold is over.
You may need an oxygen mask. The mask fits over the nose and mouth. It is best for when you need higher amounts of oxygen.
- Replace your mask every 2 to 4 weeks.
- If you get a cold, change the mask when your cold is over.
Some people may need a transtracheal catheter. This is a small catheter or tube that is placed into your windpipe by surgery.
If you are using a transtracheal catheter, have your respiratory therapist or health care provider teach you how to clean your catheter and humidifier bottle.
Tell Others You Use Oxygen at Home
Tell your local fire department, electric company, and telephone company that you use oxygen in your home.
- They will restore power sooner to your house or neighborhood if the power goes out.
- Keep their phone numbers in a place where you can find them easily.
Tell your neighbors, friends, and family that you use oxygen. They can help during an emergency.
Using Oxygen
Using oxygen may make your lips, mouth, or nose dry:
- Use a water-based lubricant (such as K-Y jelly) to add moisture to them.
- Aloe vera is okay to use.
- Do not use Vaseline, petroleum jelly, or other oil-based products.
Place some gauze under the oxygen tubing behind your ear. This will help keep the skin from getting sore.
DO NOT STOP OR CHANGE your flow of oxygen. Talk with your doctor, nurse, or respiratory therapist if you think you are not getting the right amount. Take good care of your teeth and gums.
Travel and Oxygen
You need to make sure oxygen will be available for you during your trip. If you plan to fly with oxygen, tell the airline before your trip that you plan to bring oxygen. Many airlines have special rules about
When to Call the Doctor
If you have any of the following symptoms, first check your oxygen equipment:
- Make sure the connections between the tubes and your oxygen supply are not leaking.
- Make sure the oxygen is flowing.
If your oxygen equipment is working well, call your health care provider if:
- You are getting a lot of headaches.
- You feel more nervous than usual.
- Your lips or fingernails are blue.
- You feel drowsy or confused.
- Your breathing is slow, shallow, difficult, or irregular.
Call your child?s doctor if your child is on oxygen and is:
- Breathing faster than usual
- Flaring nostrils when they breathe
- Making a grunting noise
- Pulling in their chest with each breath
- Losing their appetite
- A dusky, grey, or bluish color around the lips, gums, or eyes
- Irritable
- Having trouble sleeping
- Looking short of breath
- Very limp or weak
