Now she hopes to see the day that Obama is elected as the nation's first black president. "I ain't got time to die," Cooper said with a smile. "Even if he didn't win, I was happy for him just to be nominated," said the former socialite. "The first black president -- isn't that something, at 106 years old?"

Using the Oscillator Sync feature on the Ion. Both oscillators use Square waves. You first hear Osc 1 (transposed 1 octave lower) and then I turn up the level knob for Osc 2 (transposed 1 octave higher, and full pitch modulated by LFO 2 at approx 2,3% with a 0,7-Hz rate). I also use the Unison mode to beef up the sound (4-voice unison, detuned by 5 semitones). The filter is wide open, and set on "Ob 2-Pole LowPass". The music is a free adaptation (not 100% accurate) of the theme by Harold Faltermeyer for the movie "Fletch" featuring Chevy Chase.

Geoff Nuttall, violin Scott St. John , violin Lesley Robertson, viola Christopher Costanza, cello Having walked on stage together over 1800 times in the past eighteen years the St. Lawrence String Quartet (SLSQ) has established itself among the world-class chamber ensembles of its generation. In 1992, they won both the Banff International String Quartet Competition and Young Concert Artists International Auditions, launching them on a performing career that has brought them across North and South America, Europe and Asia. The long awaited initial recording of the St. Lawrence Quartet, Schumann's First and Third Quartets, was released in May 1999 to great critical acclaim. The CD received the coveted German critics award, the Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik, as well as Canada's annual Juno Award. BBC Music Magazine gave the recording its "highest rating," calling it the benchmark recording of the works. In October of 2001, EMI released their recording of string quartets of Tchaikovsky. In 2002 their recording Yiddishbbuk featuring the chamber music of the celebrated Argentinean-American composer Osvaldo Golijov received two Grammy nominations. Their most recent recording of Shostakovich Quartets was released in July, 2006. The Quartet performs over 100 concerts worldwide. Highlights of the 2007/08 season include their popular series Sunday's with the St. Lawrence for Stanford Lively Arts, concerts in New York (Lincoln Center), Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Tucson, Phoenix, Cincinnati, Salt Lake City, Denver, Buffalo, New Orleans, and Albuquerque. They will also make two tours to Europe. Their summer calendar features their 13th year as Resident Quartet to the Spoleto USA Festival in Charleston, SC. Other recent summer festival appearances include Mostly Mozart in New York, Maverick Concerts, Bay Chamber Concerts (Maine), and the Ottawa Chamber Music Festival. The SLSQ has been involved in numerous inventive collaborations, including projects with the renowned Pilobolus Dance Theatre, and the Emerson Quartet. In 2007 they joined with Soprano Heidi Grant Murphy and pianist Kevin Murphy to premiere Roberto Sierra's "Songs from the Diaspora" -- a commission through the Music Accord consortium. They have also performed R. Murray Shafer's concerto for quartet and orchestra "4-40" with Peter Oundjian and the Toronto Symphony, Emmanuel Villaume and the Spoleto Festival Orchestra, and Yuli Turovsky with I Musici de Montreal. The foursome regularly delivers traditional quartet repertoire, but is also fervently committed to performing and expanding the works of living composers. Among those with whom the St. Lawrence Quartet currently has active working relationships are R. Murray Schafer, Osvaldo Golijov, Christos Hatzis, Jonathan Berger, Ka Nin Chan, Roberto Sierra, and Mark Applebaum. Having been privileged to study with the Emerson, Tokyo and Juilliard String Quartets the St. Lawrence, are themselves passionate educators. Since 1998 they have held the position of Ensemble in Residence at Stanford University. This residency includes working with students of music as well as extensive collaborations with other faculty and departments using music to explore a myriad of topics. Recent collaborations have involved the School of Medicine, School of Education, and Jewish Studies. In addition to their appointment at Stanford, the SLSQ has served as visiting artists to the University of Toronto since 1995 and this season will inaugurate a new visiting chamber music residency at the Arizona State University. The foursome's passion for opening up musical arenas to players and listeners alike is evident in their annual summer chamber music seminar at Stanford and their many forays into the depths of musical meaning with preeminent music educator Robert Kapilow. The SLSQ is deeply committed to bringing music to less traditional venues outside the classroom or concert hall. Whether at Lincoln Center or an elementary school classroom, the St. Lawrence players maintain a strong desire to share the wonders of chamber music with their listeners, a characteristic of the foursome that has led them to a more informal performance style than one might expect from chamber musicians. Alex Ross of The New Yorker Magazine writes, "the St. Lawrence are remarkable not simply for the quality of their music making, exalted as it is, but for the joy they take in the act of connection." The St. Lawrence String Quartet records exclusively for EMI/ANGEL.
