“In Paris, a simple ‘A’ note plays as the doors shut…. In Tokyo, each station has its own custom jingle. In Rio de Janeiro, the subway’s door chime pays homage to bossa nova. In Vancouver, the doors still close to a 3-note sound on a Yamaha DX7.” https://t.co/pgmdDpwfvT

Grandmaster Flash demonstrating the original technique used for looping a beat:
- Two copies of same record
- Mark the desired 2-4 bars with crayon on both
- Play one while positioning the other under the needle
- At precisely the right moment, fade from one record to the other

Yes, Eric Dolphy performed Edgard Varèse's Density 21.5 at the Ojai Music Festival in 1962. That was a historic moment in the (ongoing) rapprochement of jazz and classical music. If Dolphy had lived longer, he would probably have been involved in more projects of this sort.
