Ateleia (ancient Greece)
Ateleia (Attic Greek: ἀτέλεια; privative a + τέλος ''telos'' (tax); see also philately) in ancient Greece was a general immunity (ἄδεια ''adeia'') or exemption from some or all the duties which a person has to perform towards the state. Immunities could be granted either as a privilege to the citizens of a state, exempting them from certain duties which would otherwise be incumbent on them, or they are given as honorary distinctions to foreign kings, states, communities or even private individuals. With regard to the latter the ateleia was usually an exemption from custom duties on the importation or exportation of goods, and was given as a reward for certain good services. Historical examples * Croesus received the ateleia at Delphi (Herod, i. 54) * the Attic Deceleans at Sparta (Herod, ix. 73) * Leucon, the ruler of Bosporan Kingdom, at Athens. (Dem. c. Lept. p. 466, &c.) It appears that if a person thus distinguished, or a citizen of a foreign community ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Wire Magazine
''The Wire'' (or simply ''Wire'') is a British music magazine publishing out of London, which has been issued monthly in print since 1982. Its website launched in 1997, and an online archive of its entire back catalog became available to subscribers in 2013. Since 1985, the magazine's annual year-in-review issue, Rewind, has named an album or release of the year based on critics' ballots. Originally, ''The Wire'' covered the British jazz scene with an emphasis on avant-garde and free jazz. It was marketed as a more adventurous alternative to its conservative competitor ''Jazz Journal'', and targeted younger readers at a time when ''Melody Maker'' had abandoned jazz coverage. In the late 1980s and 1990s, the magazine expanded its scope until it included a broad range of musical genres under the umbrella of non-mainstream or experimental music. Since then, ''The Wire''s coverage has included experimental rock, electronica, alternative hip hop, modern classical, free improvisati ...

It includes the theory and application of new and existing computer software technologies and basic aspects of music, such as sound synthesis, digital signal processing, sound design, sonic diffusion, acoustics, electrical engineering and psychoacoustics. The field of computer music can trace its roots back to the origins of electronic music, and the first experiments and innovations with electronic instruments at the turn of the 20th century.
