Dw Dunphy Introduces New Album The Radial Night

November release is first vocal recording in three years.

2012-10-18

RED BANK, NJ, October 18, 2012 (Press-News.org) The Radial Night is slated to debut in November, 2012. Dunphy marks the album as his first with vocals since 2009's Enigmatic. "You sing when you have something to say," Dunphy cryptically said of the post-Enigmatic releases, all instrumental.

The forthcoming album, The Radial Night via Introverse Music, is a collection of tracks that Dunphy proudly calls a concept album. "Just about every tune deals with coping with patterns, loops, or cyclical behaviors," Dunphy said. "Think about psychology and you're really looking at how we invite patterns into our lives and how we are often ruled and trapped by them."

The album unabashedly embraces musical ideas like reoccurring themes, leitmotif, and structure. "When there is an overall goal or idea, the nice thing is that one does not have to suffer too much to see how this piece relates to that piece, or how this angle pairs up with that one. And it happens in natural ways, so it isn't some boring thesis about the circular nature of modern life, or some other thing to put you to sleep," Dunphy added.

The album provides the big rock moments Dunphy has always enjoyed like "Sink Into The Sea" and "Mr. Burning Suit," but doesn't neglect the softer side with "Another Distant Island" and the title cut from the album. "'The Radial Night,' the song, is from the perspective of one who has been through one too many failed relationships, and in the presence of a possible new one gives up on it in a pre-emptive way." Dunphy stated that attitude is uncommon for most popular music artists, but goes on to say The Radial Night just is not that kind of album.

Other tracks include the pop song "Head Without A Heart" and the nod to 1980s new wave "(It Shouldn't Be So) Difficult" but the writer/multi-instrumentalist said that even with the sonic diversity in play, the record sits as a unique whole. "It has a singular point to make and comes at it from a lot of angles but it holds together very well, and listeners will hear a lot of themselves in it," Dunphy said.

The Radial Night will be released in late November through Secret Decoder Records and Introverse Media. Samples are currently available on YouTube.

The Science of Breaking Up Via Space Station Re-Entry Investigation

2012-10-18

When an aerospace engineer says breaking up is hard to do, they are not referring to matters of the heart. Instead, they are looking at best practices for the breakup of large items returning from space to Earth. Understanding what happens during this process is the goal of the ReEntry Breakup Recorder, or REBR. This device hitched a ride on the European Space Agency's Automated Transfer Vehicle-3, or ATV-3, as it departed the International Space Station and re-entered Earth's atmosphere on Oct 2, 2012. A better grasp of large item breakups could help economize deorbit ...

Almost 80% Believe Free Wi-Fi Can Lead to Identity Theft, Study Finds

2012-10-18

A new study of 377 Americans highlights the growing concern of using public Wi-Fi Hotspots. The survey, conducted by the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) in conjunction with PRIVATE WiFi, revealed that 79% of respondents believe that using a free Wi-Fi connection can lead to identity theft. 45% of respondents said they were concerned about their security when using a public hotspot and 15% indicated that they were "very concerned." 44% of respondents weren't aware that there is a way to protect their sensitive information while using a public hotspot. In ...

Children with ADHD find medication frees them to choose between right and wrong, study suggests

2012-10-17

Children living with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) tend to feel that they benefit from medication to treat the condition and do not feel that the medication turns them into 'robots', according to a report published today. In fact, they report feeling that medication helps them to control their behaviour and make better decisions. The study, which gives a voice to the children themselves, provides valuable insights into their experiences and the stigma they face. The ADHD VOICES – Voices on Identity, Childhood, Ethics and Stimulants – study has worked ...

Where the deer and the antelope cross

2012-10-17

The locations of the structures completed this fall were informed by data collected by WCS, the Wyoming Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, and identified the pronghorn's preferred migration routes and highway crossing points. WCS has long studied an approximately 93-mile (150 km) migration of pronghorn between wintering grounds in the Upper Green River Basin and summering grounds in Grand Teton National Park (GTNP)—a migration corridor known as the "Path of the Pronghorn." WCS worked with many partners including ...

New insights into how genetic differences influence breast cancer risk from low-dose radiation

2012-10-17

Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have identified tissue mechanisms that may influence a woman's susceptibility or resistance to breast cancer after exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation, such as the levels used in full-body CT scans and radiotherapy. The research could lead to new ways to identify women who have higher or lower risks of breast cancer from low-dose radiation. Such a predictive tool could help guide the treatment of cancer patients who may be better served by non-radiation therapies. The ...

Overcoming memories that trigger cocaine relapse

2012-10-17

Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) have identified mechanisms in the brain responsible for regulating cocaine-seeking behavior, providing an avenue for drug development that could greatly reduce the high relapse rate in cocaine addiction. The research reveals that stimulation of certain brain receptors promotes inhibition of cocaine-associated memories, helping addicts to stop drug use. This inhibition is achieved through enhancing a process called "extinction learning," in which cocaine-associated memories are replaced with associations that ...

Shark social networking

2012-10-17

University of Delaware researchers are using an underwater robot to find and follow sand tiger sharks that they previously tagged with transmitters. The innovative project is part of a multi-year partnership with Delaware State University to better understand the behavior and migration patterns of the sharks in real time. "In the past week our new, specially equipped glider OTIS – which stands for Oceanographic Telemetry Identification Sensor – detected multiple sand tiger sharks off the coast of Maryland that were tagged over the past several years," said Matthew Oliver, ...

Study finds vegetable-derived compound effective in treating triple-negative breast cancer

2012-10-17

Arlington, Va. — A new compound created from a rich source in vegetables including broccoli and brussel sprouts has been developed to combat triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). This research is being presented at the 2012 American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) Annual Meeting and Exposition, the world's largest pharmaceutical sciences meeting, in Chicago, Ill., on Oct. 14 – 18, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. TNBC accounts for approximately 15-20 percent of all breast cancer cases in the U.S. It is one of the most aggressive forms of breast ...
