Pendulum
A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely. When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting, equilibrium position, it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back toward the equilibrium position. When released, the restoring force acting on the pendulum's mass causes it to oscillate about the equilibrium position, swinging back and forth. The time for one complete cycle, a left swing and a right swing, is called the period. The period depends on the length of the pendulum and also to a slight degree on the amplitude, the width of the pendulum's swing. From the first scientific investigations of the pendulum around 1602 by Galileo Galilei, the regular motion of pendulums was used for timekeeping and was the world's most accurate timekeeping technology until the 1930s. The pendulum clock invented by Christiaan Huygens in 1658 became the world's standard timekeeper, used in homes and offices for 270 years, and ac ...

Pendulum Music
''Pendulum Music'' (For Microphones, Amplifiers Speakers and Performers) Reich, S. (1974). "''Pendulum Music''". In '' Writings About Music'' (pp. 12–13). The Press of the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (Co-published by: New York University Press). is the name of a work by Steve Reich, involving suspended microphones and speakers, creating phasing feedback tones. The piece was composed in August 1968 and revised in May 1973, and is an example of process music. Overview Reich came up with the concept while working at the University of Colorado. He was swinging a live microphone in the style of the cowboy's lasso, and noting the produced feedback, he composed for an "orchestra" of microphones. Three or more microphones are suspended above the speakers by means of a cable and stand. The microphones are pulled back, switched on, and released over the speaker, and gravity causes them to swing back and forth as pendulums. As the microphone nears the speaker, a feedback ...

The Narrow Scope Of Things
''The Narrow Scope of Things'' is the second album by the Christian rock band Embodyment. It is the first album not to feature original vocalist Kris McCaddon or rhythm guitarist James Lanigan. It is also the first to completely abandon the band's previous death metal influences, pursuing a more alternative rock style. Critical reception Jason D. Taylor reports "Overall, ''The Narrow Scope of Things'' was the turning point for Embodyment, and as it stands is their best record as well." Michial Farmer of The Phantom Tollbooth wrote: "Other songs, such as ''Pendulum'' attempt (rather unsuccessfully, in my opinion) to combine the band's new softer edge with hardcore. In the end, though, if ''The Narrow Scope of Things'' is remembered for anything, it will be for the remarkable pop sensibilities and melodies crafted within." Alex Figgis of Cross Rhythms writes "If you are looking for some intelligently written and deftly executed art, then look no further than ''The Narrow Scope O ...
