Don’t miss: 2012 MTV Video Music AwardsScandalous kisses. Sabotaged

for your weekApples in Stereo musician
to pursue a doctorate in mathThe Apples in Stereo front-
man Robert Schneider, also a co-founder of The Elephant 6 Recording Co. and a highly regarded producer, has moved from Lexington to Georgia to pursue a doctorate in math-ematics at Emory University in Atlanta.
This comes as little surprise to people who have followed the career of Schneider, a University of Kentucky graduate whose mathematical studies included developing a “non-Pythagorean” musical scale for the 2007 Apples album New Magnetic Wonder and 2010’s Travellers in Space and Time. He also composed a score based on prime numbers for a play by mathematician Andrew Granville and has experimented with a mind-controlled synthesizer and a mathematical board game. He has been a sought-after speaker at mathematical conferences.
“I realized the beauty of mathematics in my studio while repairing a 16-track tape machine, with schematic diagrams spread around me on the floor,” Schneider said in a news release. “I came across Ohm’s Law in a book on electronics, the equation that describes the flow of electricity in circuits, and it blew my mind. Somehow, this simple equation was responsible for the things I found most magical in life — electric guitars, analog synthesizers, stereophonic sound and the joy of making music with my friends.
“My interest in mathematics feels similar to my interest in music: exploring beautiful patterns and ideas beyond the reach of words.”
At Emory, Schneider will study under revered number theorist Ken Ono. In the news release, Schneider said he will continue to write and make music while pursuing his doctorate.

graduate Sam Abell will lead the 50th Anniversary PhotoScenicKY Weekend, Oct. 12 and 13 at Cumberland Falls State Resort Park in Corbin.

The weekend is organized by Bill Luster and Tom Hardin, photographers who retired from the Courier-Journal of Louisville. To register, email Luster at [email protected] . Each registrant must provide a name, an address and a phone number. For lodging, call Cumberland Falls State Resort Park at 1-800-325-0063 and mention PhotoScenic Kentucky Weekend for special rates.
‘Girl Project’ seeks 15 teens for yearlong arts pieceKentucky Conservatory Theatre will have auditions next weekend for

There will then be rehearsals through August for performances on Labor Day weekend 2013. There will be a $50 fee for each workshop, and five scholarships will be available.
