Tips for a safe Halloween In preparation for Halloween, Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent Daniel P. Losquadro (R) is offering parents some tips, courtesy of the American Academy of Pediatrics, to help ensure children enjoy the holiday safely.

ALL DRESSED UP

• Consider adding reflective tape or striping to costumes and trick-or-treat bags for greater visibility. • Because masks can limit or block eyesight, consider nontoxic makeup and decorative hats as safer alternatives. •When shopping for costumes, wigs and accessories, look for and purchase those with a label clearly indicating they are flame-resistant. • If a sword, cane or stick is a part of your child’s costume, make sure it it’s not sharp or long.

ON THE TRICK-OR-TREAT TRAIL

151352

• A parent or responsible adult should always accompany young children on their neighborhood rounds. • Obtain flashlights with fresh batteries for all children and their escorts. • If your older children are going alone, plan and review the route that is acceptable to you. Agree on a specific time when they should return home. • Only go to homes with a porch light on and never enter a home or car for a treat. • Because pedestrian injuries are the most common injuries to children on Halloween,

remind trick-or-treaters: • Stay in a group and communicate where they will be going. • Remember reflective tape for costumes and trick-or-treat bags. • Carry a cell phone for quick communication. • Remain on well-lit streets and always use the sidewalk. • If no sidewalk is available, walk at the far edge of the roadway facing traffic. • Never cut across yards or use alleys. • Only cross the street as a group in established crosswalks. Never cross between parked cars or out of driveways. • Don’t assume the right of way. Motorists may have trouble seeing trick-or-treaters. Just because one car stops, doesn’t mean others will. • Law enforcement authorities should be notified immediately of any suspicious or unlawful activity.

Family program comes to North Shore Youth Council By Desirée Keegan desiree@tbrnewspapers.com

A strong support system is vital in a fight against drug abuse, and now North Shore families will have more options to help struggling loved ones manage their addiction. Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) and Suffolk County Sheriff Vincent DeMarco delivered a check for $10,000 to the North Shore Youth Council in Rocky Point this week, which will be recognized for its new family counseling initiative to combat substance abuse. The grant, which is funded from the sheriff’s office asset forfeiture monies, will engage whole families in therapy designed to help them cope, understand the root causes of addiction and support their loved one’s recovery. Anker proposed the pilot initiative following a conversation with Father Frank Pizzarelli from Hope House Ministries in Port Jefferson. “Father Frank is on the frontlines in our battle against addiction in Suffolk County,” she said. “He impressed upon me the importance of the family unit in successfully treating addiction.” When Anker approached the sheriff about the possibility of using asset forfeiture funds dedicated for this purpose, DeMarco was all in favor of the project. “Family therapy can lower relapse rates, help parents with addicted children find effective ways to support their loved one’s recovery and even help children with addicted parents deal with their struggles,” he said. “ I am hoping this initiative will serve as a model and get more families involved in recovery.” The North Shore Youth Council serves communities across the North Shore, including Port Jefferson, Wading River, Middle Island, Ridge and Coram. The agency helps hundreds of families each day through its school-based prevention and before and after

care programs. According to the youth council’s Executive Director Janene Gentile, many people within the community can’t afford family counseling, because money is tight due to lost wages and the cost of treatment. “Treatment is the first step, but ongoing family therapy is often essential to getting to the root of the problems that led someone to use drugs in the first place,” she said. “This grant will defer the cost of family counseling, which will eliminate the most common barrier to families engaging in therapy. North Shore Youth Council’s board President Laurel Sutton joined with Gentile in thanking the county sheriff and legislator for their support. “I want to thank Sheriff DeMarco and Legislator Anker for giving us this opportunity to enhance our counseling services to struggling families impacted by the opioid [problem],” she said. For more information about the family counseling initiative or to schedule an appointment with a counselor, call the North Shore Youth Council at 631-744-0207.

Councilwoman wants to grow NYS crop of organ donors By ReBecca anzel Registered organ donors are hard to come by in New York state compared to the rest of the United States, and for one elected official in Brookhaven, that’s not going to cut it. Brookhaven Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) did not hesitate when her friend Tom D’Antonio said he needed a kidney. She decided right then, at the Huntington Lighthouse Music Festival in Huntington Harbor in September 2015, that she would share her spare. She underwent comprehensive medical testing at the end of the next month to determine if she would be a viable donor — a blood test, chest X-ray, electrocardiogram, CT scan, MRI, psychological evaluation and cancer screening, to name a few. “It’s the ultimate physical you’re ever going to have, and by the blood test alone several people were disqualified,” Bonner said. “For once in my life, it turned out that I was No. 1. And it worked out really, really well.” The surgery was April 26, a Tuesday, at New York Presbyterian Hospital. Bonnor was home that Friday and missed only eight days of work. She said she just had her sixmonth checkup and she is in good health. “Jane didn’t just save my life, she saved my family’s life,” D’Antonio said. “Donating an organ doesn’t just affect the person getting the organ — although certainly it affects them the most — it affects everyone’s life.” Bonner said she takes every opportunity to share her story to bring awareness about the importance of being an organ donor. “I want to be a living example to show that it can be done because it’s life changing for the recipient and only a little inconvenient for the donor,” she said. There is a large need for organs in New York. More than 9,700 people are on the organ waiting list, and someone dies every 18 hours waiting for one, according to LiveOnNY, a federally designated organ procurement organization. New York ranks last among the 50 states in percent of residents registered

Below, Bonner and her friend Tom D’antonio after their surgeries to transplant her kidney into his body in april. as organ donors, despite surveys showing 92 percent of New Yorkers support organ donation. Only 27 percent of New Yorkers are enrolled in the state registry, versus the average of 50 percent registered across the rest of the country. Stony Brook Medicine and Stony Brook University hosted the Organ Donor Enrollment Day event Oct. 6, including Bonner, in a statewide effort to boost the number of registered organ donors.

“Our residents need to be reminded about the importance of organ donation,” Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) said in a statement. “Along with stressing how one organ and tissue donor can save multiple lives, understanding and debunking the social and religious myths about organ donation are also critical to turning the tides in New York as we currently rank last in registered organ donors in the nation.” Dawn Francisquini, transplant senior specialist for the hospital, said volunteers enrolled 571 people. “New York has a very large population, so it’s going to take a lot to get us up to where the other states are,” she said. “But we’re making progress.” There are two ways to become an organ donor. One is to be a living donor, like Bonner. A potential donor does not have to know someone in need of an organ to donate a kidney, lobe of liver, lung or part of a lung, part of the pancreas or part of an intestine. “Living donation is so important because not only are you giving an organ to someone, so you’ve saved that life, but you’ve also made room on the list,” Francisquini said. “So you’ve saved two lives by donating one organ.” The most common way is by registering when filling out a driver’s license registration or renewal form to be considered as a candidate upon death. According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, though, only about three in 1,000 deceased

people are suitable for organ donations. Doctors determine whether organs like kidneys, livers, bones, skin and intestines are medically viable for a waiting recipient and they typically go to patients in the same state as the donor. Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) signed legislation Aug. 18 allowing 16 and 17-year-olds to register as organ donors. If they die before turning 18, parents or guardians are able to reverse the decision. “By authorizing 16 and 17-year-olds to make the selfless decision to become an organ donor, we take another significant step to grow the state’s Donate Life registry and create opportunities to save lives,” Cuomo said in a statement. Francisquini said she thinks this new law will make a big difference. Previously, because those under-18 were not allowed to express their wishes when filling out a driver’s license form, many would not register as donors until years later when renewing their license. Since her surgery, Bonner has shared her story in speeches, panel discussions and on social media using the hashtag #ShareTheSpare. “I really feel like this is much better than anything I could accomplish in my professional career,” she said. “Through the support of the people that keep electing me, I’ve been able to accomplish really amazing things, but this is a step above that. Satisfying is not even the word to describe it.”

‘I’ve been able to accomplish really amazing things, but this is a step above that. Satisfying is not even the word to describe it.’

St. Charles nurse battling breast cancer By ReBecca anzel Registered nurse at St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson Desiree Bielski-Stoff knows what a lump feels like — she had a small one removed from her left breast when she was 20. Since then, she performed selfexaminations regularly and, coupled with her medical knowledge, thought she was “pretty good” at self-assessment. In September, Bielski-Stoff, who is now 37, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Less than a month later, she had a double mastectomy at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan. “I was looking for something like that mass in my left breast, something I could feel,” she said. “It wasn’t like a lighted sign going ‘Bling Bling, you have cancer — you have a mass in your breast,’ and I think that’s what we think we’re supposed to be looking for.” October is national Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Bielski-Stoff has been sharing her story with friends and family in the hopes they will not have to go through what she experienced. Every two minutes, a woman in the U.S. is diagnosed with breast cancer, a disease that kills more than 40,000 women each year, according to Right at Home, a senior care organization. On average, women develop breast cancer at age 61. Bielski-Stoff’s diagnosis rattled her family, friends and coworkers. She has worked at the hospital since 2004. “It’s eye-opening for all of us — I’m her age, you know? You never know,” Kim Audiino, an emergency room nurse at St. Charles Hospital and friend of Bielski-Stoff, said. “I think people need to open their eyes and be more alert about checking themselves.” Bielski-Stoff was getting dressed after taking a shower in August when out of the

corner of her eye, she noticed her right breast collapsed when she lifted her arm. Her first thought, she said, was that it was due to the 10 pounds she recently lost for her sister’s upcoming wedding. Bielski-Stoff conducted a brief self-exam, finding nothing out of the ordinary — nothing was swollen and she did not feel any lumps. She showed her gynecologist that Wednesday. Bielski-Stoff said the doctor cocked her head, commented that it looked like a dimple and gave her a script for a mammogram and an ultrasound. The doctor told her it was probably nothing but she wanted to be on the safe side. Her appointment was Sept. 7 at St. Charles with Dr. Jane Marie Testa, a doctor her coworkers recommended after BielskiStoff insisted she wanted to see the best. George, her husband, had asked if she wanted him to go with her, but she said no — she did not want to make it a big deal. “I remember driving there and pulling up in the parking lot and thinking, either this is going to go in a good way or it’s not,” Bielski-Stoff said, “like, this could be the last time I feel normal.” The tests took a few hours. When they were over, Testa came in and said she wanted to show Bielski-Stoff a few things with the ultrasound. There was a spot on her left breast the doctor wanted to take a sample of, and one on her right. Then Testa hovered over another spot on her right breast and said she was sorry — it was cancer. There was no question about what it was, Bielski-Stoff said. It was a classic presentation of a cancerous mass. It was irregularly shaped and had vascularity and calcifications. Questions were flying through her mind about whether her life was over, if she would be in pain and if she was going to be okay, she said. “The feeling that comes over you when somebody says cancer is just, I started crying,” Bielski-Stoff said. “I thought, ‘How do I absorb this right now. It was everything all at once — fear, a lot of fear.” Her sister’s wedding was that weekend, so she booked the biopsies for the following Wednesday. Then she set about trying to find a surgeon. Bielski-Stoff’s insurance company told her there was only one in network near her, so she turned to her coworkers at St. Charles for advice. With the help of her supervisor and the head of human resources, BielskiStoff learned the doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering were covered. The surgeon gave her two options: either Bielski-Stoff could get a lumpectomy with radiation or she could get a mastectomy. She opted for a double mastectomy. “I have to live with this. This is what I can live with,” she said about her decision. “I’m young, 37. I can’t spend the rest of my life panicking that I’m getting cancer again.” Her surgery was Oct. 3. Two weeks later, all the drains were out and she was sore but doing well. The support from her friends at St. Charles helped her through the experience, she said. They visited her every day, bringing her flowers and food, watching movies with her, checking her dressings, helping her bathe and delivering her medicine from the pharmacy. “We were pretty much her nanny 24/7 while her husband was working,” Audiino said. “She was never alone, and she had more care

Newfield scores historic come-from-behind win By Desirée Keegan desiree@tbrnewspapers.com The Newfield girls’ soccer team faced an uphill climb late in its first-round playoff matchup with Bay Shore, but three clutch goals helped the Wolverines survive and advance. Freshman Sierra Rosario headed in the final goal that gave her team a 4-3 lead with 3:41 left to play. It was the third goal scored in six minutes by the No. 7 Wolverines, as they battled back to top No. 10 Bay Shore in the first round of the Suffolk County Class AA playoffs Oct. 24. “That was the scariest moment of my life,” Rosario, a midfielder, said of the final goal. “Vaneeya [Volino] put a good ball in, I flicked it and it went into the bottom right corner. Our heads could’ve gone down, but we kept lifting each other up. Everyone put in 100 percent of the effort from the first whistle to the last. No one really got down on each other. Even going down two goals, we kept motivating one another and it shows we have so much heart.” Newfield put on the pressure to start the game, keeping the ball in Bay Shore’s zone for most of the first half, but the two teams went into the break in a 0-0 draw.

“I need relentless off-the-ball movement,” Newfield head coach Domenik Veraldi said he told his team at halftime. “We need to keep up the intensity and the pressure.” The Wolverines did just that in the second half. Senior defender Volino’s cornerkick goal just over a minute in, off a sendin from senior midfielder Kristen Prevosto,

Junior goalkeeper Alexis Saladino made a diving save on Bay Shore’s first shot on goal of the game almost 10 minutes later. A direct free kick at the 20:20 mark went just over Saladino’s head, as she jumped straight up but couldn’t get her fingers on the ball. Six minutes later, she rushed out of the box to make a block, but missed on Bay Shore’s breakaway, as the ball rolled into the net to give the Marauders a 3-1 edge. Prevosto pulled her team within one when she sent a shot from 20 yards out straight into the net off another free kick from Volino, and junior defender Taylor Regensburger tied the score off a breakaway pass from Volino with 6:38 left in regulation. “I saw the ball and I thought the girl in front of me was going to head it, but I saw it go over and I know how to bring it down, relax and find the low corners, and I got it,” Prevosto said. “We came in, we were hungry, and obviously, we ate.”

Celanti continues to make it count for Newfield boys By Desirée Keegan desiree@tbrnewspapers.com

Regensburger said her strategy was to also keep the ball low. “It was me and the goalie, and I knew I had to play to the corners because she’s very tall,” she said. “It feels great to come this far because we’ve never done it before.” The Wolverines were part of a developmental league in 2012, designed for weaker teams to play competitive games without the possibility of postseason play, and tallied 15 wins over the following three seasons. Many girls on this Newfield team were on a two-win team in 2013. “This is my favorite season so far,” said Veraldi, who was an assistant coach in 2012. “They just made a memory they’ll have their entire life. When they play with that kind of heart and that commitment — they never give up and you can see it there with three goals in under 10 minutes — they don’t cease to shock me. This is what we expect. I was composed when we were down 3-1 because I expected them to, as a team, pull it together and come through. And they did.”

Rafael Celanti seems to be unstoppable. The No. 3 Newfield boys’ soccer team’s sophomore forward came through for his team again, tallying two goals in the Wolverines’ 3-2 win over Lindenhurst Oct. 25. Celanti scored the tiebreaking goal with 15 minutes remaining in regulation. He now has a team-leading 14 goals on the season, scoring more than a third of the team’s 38 goals so far this season. Sophomore forward Olvin Yanes finished the game scoring one goal and one assist. Senior midfielder James Birchwell and junior defender Adrian Izzaguire each assisted once. Sophomore goalkeeper Loui Chen made seven saves in goal against No. 14seed Lindenhurst.

Suffolk County Legislator William “Doc” Spencer encourages residents to check out this year’s budget for themselves.

A closer look at Suffolk County Legislature’s budget Photo from Jane Bonner

Jane Bonner, right, is encouraging others to be organ donors after she donated a kidney to her friend Tom D’Antonio, left, earlier in 2016

Giving the gift of life Recently, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) signed legislation that will allow 16 and 17-year-olds to register as organ donors. Nearly 10,000 names currently reside on the state’s waiting list, hoping to get the good news that a life-saving organ has become available. Unfortunately, many may have to wait longer than they’d like, or can, because New York is last among the 50 states in percentage terms of residents registered as organ donors. Our editorial staff is in favor of the new legislation, though scenarios where a 16-yearold will be a suitable candidate for donation could be few and far between. Expanding the pool of potential donors makes sense, but will this be enough? Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) donated a kidney to a friend in need earlier this year, and we hope she inspires others to #ShareTheSpare. Bonner has said on several occasions how fulfilling the experience has been for her, on top of the obvious benefit of helping someone else. A member of our editorial staff came across a video this week of remarks made by Rabbi Maurice Salth at Central Synagogue in New York City Oct. 12, in which he told a story of a 23-year-old man who was killed in a car crash. The crash left the man brain dead, and his family decided it was best to allow his organs to be donated. His heart, both lungs, liver and each kidney were given to people on the waiting list. Five lives were saved by those organs, though five others were potentially saved if you consider that five new names moved to the top of the waiting lists. The need for registered organ donors upon death in New York is obvious, though as Bonner has said, participation from more living donors would make a difference for so many people. You don’t have to know someone desperate for a new organ to step up and save a life.

Upon reviewing the executive’s recommended budget, the legislature is faced with extremely difficult decisions. With a deficit exceeding $100 million dollars, combined with our obligation to provide essential services to the 1.5 million residents, there is much to weigh. In recent years, the legislature has saved $300 million by avoiding the cost of building a jail, reduced payroll by $100 million with 1,300 less employees, and saved $77 million dollars over 5 years by privatizing our health centers. Additionally, we closed the Foley Nursing Home, saving $12 million annually, and merged the offices of Suffolk County Treasurer and Comptroller, resulting in a savings of $3 million. We have taken these proactive steps while holding the line and freezing property taxes for 5 consecutive years. Despite the strides we have made, we continue to face a deficit and must make further cuts to our vital services that we all benefit from. Reducing expenses is necessary, but I urge my colleagues to avoid making cuts that will cost

and have presented the proposal to my colleagues. I firmly believe we can continue to provide these services while finding the needed savings. Another critical program on the chopping block, which is equally as important to public health in Suffolk, is the Tobacco Control Program. This cut will make a small dent into our deficit, yielding $188,000 in funds for the county. Compare that to the $10.39 billion dollars in health care costs and the $7.33 billion dollars in productivity losses in New York State directly caused by smoking each year. The mission of this program is to prevent disease. It is indisputable that when we prevent disease, we save money and save lives. We can preserve this program through vigorous pursuit of existing state aid opportunities. These are your services; I urge all residents to stay engaged through this budget process and I welcome any questions or comments. Please feel free to call my office at 631-854-4500.

us more in the long run. The executive’s recommended budget includes the loss of 2 programs that I firmly oppose cutting: the Public Health Nursing Program and the Health Education and Tobacco Control Program. The elimination of these programs will cost us far more than the projected savings for 2017, and will have profound effects for generations to come. Our public health nurses serve our most vulnerable populations. In Suffolk County, we have one of the highest rates of babies born exposed to opiates. Our nurses are on the frontlines of this epidemic as they are treating addicted mothers and their babies, helping to prevent this drug scourge from carrying on to the next generation. Considering our deficits, expenses have to be reduced; however, in this case we are not prepared to remove this safety net as the existing agencies are not in the position to serve these complex cases. In working with the public health nurses, I have come up with a proposal to reinstate the program for 2017

I am writing to thank you for your coverage of Suffolk County’s opioid epidemic in the Oct. 6 editions of TBR News Media. Your articles thoroughly explored the multifaceted causes and consequences of the increase in opioid use, and you outlined many valuable resources available in the community to address the problem. I am extremely supportive

of your attempts to advance the discussion of this issue, ensuring that it gets the attention that it deserves. I am confident that your articles will stimulate the efforts toward public awareness, access to care and policy change.

Take me back to the World Series ... in 1908 and 1948 T

he current World Series baseball matchup features two teams that haven’t won a championship in decades. The Cleveland Indians’ last title came in 1948, while the Chicago Cubs, in case anyone hasn’t heard, previously claimed baseball’s top prize in 1908. Let’s take a look at the way things were the last time each of these teams won the World Series. In 1948, the Indians’ Leroy “Satchel” Paige made his debut on July 9, becoming the first African-American By Daniel Dunaief pitcher in the American League. He went 6-1 for the Indians that season, although he pitched to only two batters in the World Series, retiring them both. The cost of everything was

D. None of the above

considerably lower, before inflation kicked in. The price for a grandstand ticket at Braves Field, Boston, for the clinching sixth game when the Indians beat the local Braves, 4-2, was $6. The Braves moved later to Milwaukee and then Atlanta. The cost of a gallon of gas to drive to Braves Field, which is now Nickerson Field on the campus of Boston University, was about 16 cents. Also in the world of sports, the Olympics returned to the world stage after the 1940 and 1944 games were canceled during World War II. Remarkably, London — the target of repeated bombings during the war, which had ended only three years earlier — hosted the 1948 Olympics. In other international events, Israel was created, with David Ben-Gurion serving as the first prime minister. In Berlin, after the Soviet Union blocked all ground traffic into West Berlin, the airlift started on June 26, 1948, and didn’t end until Sept. 30, 1949, providing enough supplies to enable West Berlin to remain under the control

of the British, French and American governments. Back on the home front, President Harry Truman dedicated New York International Airport, commonly known as Idlewild Airport and, now, JFK. He hailed the new airport as “the front door” of the United Nations, which was under construction in Manhattan and would be completed in 1952. Truman, who had become president after FDR died, ran for election against Republican Thomas Dewey. The day after the election, the Chicago Daily Tribune ran a banner headline that read, “Dewey defeats Truman.” A beaming Truman held up the paper after he won the election. Back in 1908, the last year the Cubs won the World Series, the Olympics were held in London for the first time. The games were originally scheduled for Rome, but a Mount Vesuvius eruption in 1906 made a new venue necessary. The cost of a grandstand ticket at West Side Park, where the Cubs played, was $1.50. The Chicago team wouldn’t

move to Wrigley Field until 1916. A loaf of bread cost about 5 cents, while a gallon of gas, for those who had cars, was some 20 cents. Ford started producing the Model T car that year. The average worker made $200 to $400 per year. In Europe, Wilbur Wright was dazzling French spectators with demonstrations of his ability to bank turns and fly in circles in an airplane. The president of the United States was Theodore Roosevelt. He had already indicated he wouldn’t run for re-election after two terms. His successor, William Taft, defeated Democrat William Jennings Bryan to win the 1908 election. Women would still have to wait to vote until the 19th Amendment passed on Aug. 18, 1920. In 1908, the country celebrated its first Mother’s Day on May 10, and in early November the Brooklyn Academy of Music opened. And those are just some of the highlights of the last years the Cubs and Indians won the World Series.

Musique concrète was created in Paris, France, in 1948, wherein fragments of natural and industrial sounds were recorded and edited together to produce music from electronic generators. Japan and the United States joined in this development in the 1950s and ’60s. Computers were now available, and they could be made to compose music according to predetermined mathematical algorithms. In 1957, the RCA Mark II Sound Synthesizer became the first that could be programmed by its user, making possible the fusion of electronic and folk music, for example. Its user now had the ability to pinpoint and control elements of sound precisely. By the 1970s, the synthesizer helped make electronic music a significant influence on popular music. Electronic drums and drum machines entered disco and new wave music. Toward the end of the last century, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface or MIDI enabled everything from experimental art music to popular electronic dance music. Pop electronic music became

connected to mainstream culture. In the last decade, many software-based virtual studio environments have emerged, allowing viable and cost-effective alternatives to typical hardware-based production studios, many of which have gone out of business. Microprocessor technology can help make high quality music using little more than a laptop. When my grandson, who just turned 18, sits in his bedroom and composes full-orchestral music from bits and pieces of sounds he has recorded — aided by his drum machine and bass synthesizer, that he then plays over the Internet — we are seeing the democratization of music creation. He doesn’t even need those bits and pieces, although he sometimes likes to add them. Synthesized music can be created entirely from electronically produced signals. My grandson is, in fact, marching along the same path as Paul Hindemith and the Beatles. Only today he has more technology to help him than they did. Will all this eventually replace large orchestras? He says, “Yes.”

A dazzling introduction to electronic music T

his past weekend, I spent some delightful time with my grandson and was introduced to electronic music. He plays and composes this type of music, so I wanted to know more about it, and I was dazzled. In a corner of his bedroom, with relatively few, modestsized electronic instruments, he can construct and deconstruct and reconstruct sounds as they graphically appear By Leah S. Dunaief on a screen in front of him. He can reproduce the sound of any musical instrument, then combine that sound with any other, such as an industrial sound, and create a unique sound with the help of a synthesizer. There is often a strong beat associated with the musical line, but not always. Traditional musical instruments can be combined with

Between you and me

unique sounds. And pauses can be built in for a vocalist. I’ll try to explain how this was made possible. Advances in technology, from the development of tape recorders last century to the laptop computer of today played a part. According to some research I did on the Internet, the earliest electronic devices for performing music were developed at the end of the 19th century. Italian Futurists explored sounds not precisely considered musical. Then in the 1920s and ’30s, electronic instruments were introduced and used to play the first compositions. The big breakthrough came with magnetic audiotape, sort of analogous to the development of film for movies. Audiotape enabled musicians to tape sounds and then modify them, by changing speed or splicing out mistakes and inserting better parts of takes. It was a boon to recording commercial music, be it classical or popular. Germany was first on this scene, actually during World War II, and that work was brought to the United States at the end of the war.
