Alain Marcus - Princeton snow fight, 1892.

Music composed by Alain Marcus. Inspired by a picture of three Princeton students showing off their battered faces after participating in the erstwhile tradition of a yearly freshman/sophomore snowball fight... Their appearance serves as some evidence that the teams' snowball recipe may have included some slightly less benign ingredients than the pure, fresh-fallen snow.
Muybridge repetitions, 1872.

For piano and delay pedal. Music composed and interpreted by Alain Marcus. In 1872, Muybridge settled Stanford's question with a single photographic negative showing his Standardbred trotting horse Occident airborne at the trot. This negative was lost, but the image survives through woodcuts made at the time (the technology for printed reproductions of photographs was still being developed).

    As an 18 year old the best I could do on my AJS 500 riding like that on a country road was 90MPH, I survived and am now 82 but shudder everytime I think about it.

    You live more in 5 minutes going flat out on a bike than some jokers live in their entire lives, Burt Monroe. Rollie was the big guy with the cigar in the movie.
