LateRooms.com - London's Royal Albert Hall to Welcome Nitin Sawhney

Nitin Sawhney will unveil his new album Last Days of Meaning at the Royal Albert Hall.

2011-04-06

LONDON, ENGLAND, April 05, 2011 (Press-News.org) Nitin Sawhney, the acclaimed multi-instrumentalist and composer, is set to launch his new album at the Royal Albert Hall next month.

The musician will debut tracks from the LP, entitled Last Days of Meaning, at the famous London venue on Friday May 6th.

His performance is also due to feature a retrospective of his studio work to date and a special commission for the hall's great organ.

Written by Sawhney, this 15-minute piece will be performed by his childhood friend James Taylor, one of the UK's most highly rated Hammond organists.

Last Days of Meaning is Sawhney's ninth studio album, following acclaimed works such as Beyond Skin (1999) and London Undersound from 2008.

In a statement on his official website, the artist described his latest effort as "a response to the fear, dogmatism and entrenchment that we sometimes acquire with age".

Sawhney will be joined on stage at the Royal Albert Hall by a string quartet and a number of other musicians, including special guest Natty, cellist Ian Burdge and Ashwin Srinivasan on flute and vocals.

Tickets for the concert are priced between GBP15 and GBP45 plus booking fee.

Fans of the performer can visit LateRooms.com for a large selection of London hotels, including the Astor Court Hotel London.

Defective plastics repair themselves

2011-04-06

It can be a total surprise: car tires burst, sealing rings fail and even your dearly beloved panton chair or your freely oscillating plastic chair develops cracks and the material gets fatigued. The reason for this often sudden and unforeseen material failure is triggered by microcracks that may be found in any component. You may hardly see these cracks and they may grow fast or slow. This also applies to fractures in components made of plastic that can be elastically formed. Sealing rings or tires are made of these elastomers and they can withstand mechanical loads especially ...

Exploring the possibilities for zeolites

2011-04-06

HOUSTON -- (April 5, 2011) -- Some people collect stamps and coins, but when it comes to sheer utility, few collections rival the usefulness of Rice University researcher Michael Deem's collection of 2.6 million zeolite structures. Zeolites are materials -- including some natural minerals -- that act as molecular sieves, thanks to a Swiss-cheese-like arrangement of pores that can sort, filter, trap and chemically process everything from drugs and petroleum to nuclear waste. Zeolites are particularly useful as catalysts -- materials that spur chemical reactions. There ...

World's reef fishes tussling with human overpopulation

2011-04-06

In an unprecedented collaborative analysis published in the journal PLoS Biology, scientists from 49 nations demonstrated that the ability of reef fish systems to produce goods and services to humanity increases rapidly with the number of species. However, growing human populations hamper the ability of reefs to function normally, and counterintuitively, the most diverse reef fish systems suffer the greatest impairments from stressors triggered by human populations. The study documented that the extent of this distress is widespread and likely to worsen because 75% of the ...
