Quad (play)

Quad is a television play by Samuel Beckett, written and first produced and broadcast in 1981. It first appeared in print in 1984 (Faber and Faber) where the work is described as "[a] piece for four players, light and percussion" and has also been called a "ballet for four people."

It consists of four actors dressed in robes, hunched and silently walking around and diagonally across a square stage in fixed patterns, alternately entering and exiting. Each actor wears a distinct colored robe (white, red, blue, yellow), and is accompanied by a distinct percussion instrument (leitmotif). The actors walk in sync (except when entering or exiting), always on one of four rotationally symmetric paths (e.g., when one actor is at a corner, so are all others; when one actor crosses the stage, all do so together, etc.), and never touch – when walking around the stage, they move in the same direction, while when crossing the stage diagonally, where they would touch in the middle, they avoid the center area (walking around it, always clockwise or always anti-clockwise, depending on the production). In the original production, the play was first performed once, and then, after a pause, an abbreviated version is performed a second time, this time in black and white and without musical accompaniment. These are distinguished as Quad I and Quad II, though Quad II does not appear in print.

Quad (music)

Quad or QUAD was the name of a solo music project by Gary Ramon.

During his six-year hiatus from Sun Dial, Ramon embarked on an ambitious solo project, Quad, which combined ambient electronica with kraut rock. The result was a pair of self-titled albums. The first of these was released on Ramon's own Acme Records in 1997 as a 1000-copy limited edition on 12" clear vinyl with a transparent sleeve. The second Quad album was released in 1998 on the Prescription label as a 99-copy limited edition LP.

A 1999 American re-release of the first album on CD and 10" LP on the Man's Ruin label was scheduled, but eventually cancelled.

Both albums are now highly sought-after collectors' items.

    In rocketry, the Armadillo Aerospace Quad vehicle called Pixel is a computer controlled VTVL rocket that was used in 2006 to compete in the Lunar Lander Challenge.

    General description

    The quad vehicle design is a pressure fed in blow-down mode from an initial pressure of 320 psi for level 1 (400 psi level 2). The cold gas vernier engines are cross-fed by gas drawn from ullage space of the opposite tank. The vehicle was able to transfer propellant through connecting pipes between opposite tanks by controlling ullage pressures with the thrusters; this helps it balance, minimizing gas use. The main engine had two-axis thrust vectoring. The vehicle was fully computer controlled; with guidance from GPS and fiber optic gyros.

    Specification

    The specification for Pixel/Texel for level 1:

  • Width: ~1.9 m (~75 inches)
  • Height: ~1.9 m (~75 inches)
  • Dry Weight: 650 pounds
  • Gross Lift Off Weight (GLOW): ~1500 pounds (360 pounds ethanol, ~500 LOX)
  • Payload: 55 pounds
  • Engines: 1 (+ 4 cold gas attitude jets)

    Sleepwalking

    by: Kittie

    Watching me fall
    Into the flames
    Of a broken soul tonight
    No stone overturned
    This graveyard of mine
    Allows me no peace
    [Chorus]
    Sleep as day dies
    Sleepwalk with the dead
    Wander aimlessly through the night
    Love and regret
    Course through my veins
    As I slowly fade away
    Please let me sleep
    Just one last night
    Before I must wake
    [Chorus]
    And I walk with these ghosts
    And I walk with these ghosts
    And I walk with these ghosts...
    [Chorus]
    Sleep as night falls
    Sleepwalk with the dead
    Hope keeps me alive
