durée : 01:28:10 - En pistes ! du mercredi 07 mai 2025 - par : Emilie Munera, Rodolphe Bruneau Boulmier - Programme lyrique aujourd'hui, avec deux opéras : un classique wagnérien et une partition beaucoup plus rare, "Vénus en Afrique" de George Antheil. La musique de chambre sera aussi au rendez-vous, avec Brahms, Mozart et Verdi.

George Antheil, pianiste avant-gardiste, provoque en 1923 une émeute à Paris avec un concert révolutionnaire, immortalisé dans un film de Marcel L'Herbier. Ensuite, la bataille d'Hernani (1830) voit Victor Hugo briser les codes du théâtre classique, déclenchant une révolte entre romantiques et conservateurs. Le poète Théophile Gautier, avec son célèbre gilet rouge, devient un symbole de cette révolution culturelle. Puis, Le Sacre du Printemps (1913) d' Igor Stravinsky , avec sa musique dissonante et sa chorégraphie audacieuse, bouleverse le public parisien, séduisantes huées et bagarres. Entre musique, littérature et danse, ces scandales illustrent comment l'art bouscule les traditions et suscitent des passions et des débats en marquant durablement l'histoire culturelle.

Hedy Lamarr var 1933 med i filmen Extas och blev några år senare filmstjärna i Hollywood. Samtidigt som hon var en glamourös filmstjärna så var hon på fritiden en nytänkande innovatör. Hon uppfann ett hemligt kommunikationssystem, som ligger till grund för tekniker som Bluetooth, gps och wifi, tillsammans med kompositören George Antheil.

Hedy Lamarr var 1933 med i filmen Extas och blev några år senare filmstjärna i Hollywood. Samtidigt som hon var en glamourös filmstjärna så var hon på fritiden en nytänkande innovatör. Hon uppfann ett hemligt kommunikationssystem, som ligger till grund för tekniker som Bluetooth, gps och wifi, tillsammans med kompositören George Antheil.

Pour ses admirateurs, conquis par son physique très "glamour", Hedy Lamarr était la "plus belle femme du monde". Née en Autriche, en 1914, elle débute au cinéma au début des années 1930 et tourne, sous la direction du réalisateur tchèque Gustav Machaty, un film qui lui vaudra une réputation sulfureuse."Extase", tourné en 1933, comportait en effet une scène très suggestive pour l'époque. Fuyant le nazisme, en 1938, l'actrice se réfugie alors aux États-Unis, où elle fera une belle carrière.Mais Hedy Lamarr n'est pas seulement connue en tant que star. En effet, on reconnaît aujourd'hui sa contribution décisive à la science.Hedy Lamarr ne fut pas seulement une comédienne de talent, elle fut aussi, à ses heures perdues, une géniale inventrice. La technique qu'elle a mise au point, en effet, est à l'origine de cette technologie de réseau sans fil qu'on appelle aujourd'hui le wifi.À Hollywood, l'actrice rencontre un pianiste, George Antheil, qui, lui aussi, a la science pour violon d'Ingres. Le Second conflit mondial bat alors son plein et Hedy Lamarr, dont le premier mari, Friedrich Mandl, était un important marchand d'armes, s'intéresse au problème de l'armement.Un intérêt peu courant parmi les actrices de son temps. George Antheil qualifiait d'ailleurs sa consœur de "géant intellectuel" par rapport à la plupart des stars hollywoodiennes.Les deux amis mettent alors au point une technique de codage des transmissions, qui évite le brouillage, par les Allemands, des torpilles radioguidées lancées par les Américains.Ce dispositif est donc longtemps utilisé par l'armée. Il est également à la base des technologies qui donneront naissance au wifi, mais aussi aux systèmes de géolocalisation ou à la téléphonie mobile.Cette invention a valu à Hedy Lamarr la reconnaissance tardive des scientifiques. Depuis 2014, en effet, son nom est honoré dans le "Inventors hall of fame", un musée situé à Akron, dans l'Ohio, qui célèbre les grands inventeurs.Décédée en janvier 2000, à l'âge de 86 ans, l'actrice n'a pu profiter, de son vivant, de cet hommage rendu par ses pairs.

Laura López, de "Actualizados Comunicación", empresa que se adica á xestión da comunicación dixital. Hoxe falamos do papel da muller nos avances tecnolóxicos. Cando se trata de redes sociais e de tecnoloxía acostumamos a pensar en figuras coñecidas e tan populares como o CEO de Meta, Mark Zuckerberg; en Elon Musk, que seguramente nos soe por ser o fundador de Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, OpenAI ou o señor que decidiu mercar Twitter e rebautizalo como X; en Bill Gates, o fundador de Microsoft; Jeff Bezos, o creador de Amazon; e unha lista case infinita de nomes de homes. En moitos ámbitos esquecémonos de que as mulleres tiveron e teñen un papel fundamental e a tecnoloxía non é unha excepción. "Ángela Ruiz Robles foi mestra, escritora e inventora. Desenvolveu a primeira proposta de enciclopedia mecánica". "Cando se trata de redes sociais e de tecnoloxía acostumamos a pensar en figuras coñecidas, masculinas. E esquecémonos de que as mulleres tiveron e teñen un papel fundamental na tecnoloxía". "O uso da frecuencia ensanchada, de Hedy Lamarr, converteuse na base para o desenvolvemento de tecnoloxías civís como o Bluetooth e a wifi". ✔️Hedy Lamarr e a wifi Sen ir máis lonxe, que poidamos chegar á casa, a unha biblioteca ou a unha cafetería e que se nos conecte o noso teléfono móbil a unha rede wifi ou que poidamos escoitar música a través do Bluetooth nos nosos cascos inalámbricos, é grazas a unha muller. Hedy Lamarr (Viena, 1914-2000) é coñecida por ser unha estrela de Hollywood na súa época dourada pero tamén polas súas invencións. Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, Lamarr estaba preocupada polo uso de torpedos controlados por radio, que podían ser interferidos ou bloqueados polo inimigo. Para abordar este problema, traballou xunto co compositor e pianista George Antheil para desenvolver un sistema de comunicacións máis seguro. O seu invento baseábase na idea do espectro ensanchado, que é unha técnica de transmisión de datos inalámbrica que emprega un ancho de banda moito maior que o necesario para transmitir información. Este método facía que fose extremadamente difícil para os inimigos interceptar ou interferir a sinal, xa que só aqueles que coñecesen o patrón de cambio de frecuencia poderían descifrar a mensaxe. Aínda que este sistema, coñecido como Secret Communication System, se patentou en 1942, non foi até décadas máis tarde, na década de 1960, que o concepto de frecuencia ensanchada comezou a implementarse en tecnoloxías militares. E posteriormente, na década de 1990, o uso da frecuencia ensanchada converteuse na base para o desenvolvemento de tecnoloxías civís como o Bluetooth e a wifi, que usamos na nosa vida diaria para a comunicación inalámbrica. ✔️Ada Lovelace e a programación Ada Lovelace foi unha matemática e escritora británica do século XIX e é coñecida polo seu traballo pioneiro no campo da informática e da programación. É recoñecida polas súas notas sobre a “Máquina Analítica” de Charles Babbage, un deseño conceptual do que hoxe se considera como o primeiro ordenador xeral. Estas notas incluían algoritmos detallados destinados a ser procesados por esta máquina e, aínda que nunca se chegou a construír durante a vida de Lovelace, o seu traballo sentou as bases teóricas para a programación de computadoras, e é amplamente recoñecida como a primeira persoa en comprender o potencial das máquinas para ir máis alá de simples cálculos numéricos, anticipando así o concepto de programación informática. ✔️ Ángela Ruiz Robles e o libro electrónico Ángela Ruiz Robles foi mestra, escritora e inventora. En 1949, desenvolveu a primeira proposta de enciclopedia mecánica e, en 1962 realizou un prototipo da mesma, construído en Ferrol. Este aparello consistía nun procedemento mecánico, eléctrico e a presión de aire para a lectura de libros que consistía nunhas láminas con debuxos que se iluminaban ao pousar un dedo sobre elas. Na actualidade, a súa invención pode atoparse no Museo Nacional de Ciencia e Tecnoloxía na Coruña. E, de algunha maneira, considérase o precedente do primeiro libro electrónico. ✔️ Canva e Melanie Perkins A todos nos resultará familiar, aínda que sexa por encima, a plataforma Canva. Esta é unha ferramenta en liña que permite crear deseños gráficos e maneira sinxela e accesible, aínda que non teñamos experiencia previa nesta rama. Aínda que conta con tantos amantes como detractores, é innegable que a aplicación marcou un antes e un despois en canto a deseño para redes sociais se refire. A compañía foi cofundada en 2013 pola súa actual CEO, Melanie Perkins e, a día de hoxe, é unha das compañías de computación na nube máis importantes. ✔️X, Yaccarino e Picquot Dende xuño do ano pasado, Linda Yaccarino é a directora executiva de X. Yaccarino conta con experiencia nos medios tradicionais e é a ex-xefa de publicidade de NBCUniversal, onde forxou asociacións estratéxicas con compañías tan coñecidas como Twitter, Apple, Buzzfeed, Snapchat e Youtube. Neste sentido, en España, ata fai relativamente pouco, a directora xeral de Twitter para España e Portugal era Nathalie Picqueot, especialista en desenvolvemento de negocio, marketing e vendas no ámbito dixital. Actualmente, é a directora global de Corporate Marketing, Brand Experience e Digital Engagement do Banco Santander. ✔️Irene Cano e Fuencisla Clemares Tamén nos atopamos, entre outras, con Irene Cano, que é a directora xeral de Facebook España e Portugal desde xuño de 2012 e recoñecida como unha das mulleres máis influíntes de España; ou a Fuencisla Clemares, que é a directora xeral de Google en España e Portugal e que conta con máis de 20 anos de experiencia en dirección, consultoría estratexia, comercio electrónico, marketing dixital, industria minorista e xestión de vendas. Estas son só algunha das mulleres que fixeron que a tecnoloxía e a rede sexan o que son hoxe en día. E, aínda que sempre se incide máis sobre as figuras femininas e o seu papel na historia en datas como o Día da Muller, é importante poñer sobre a mesa todos os seus avances a diario porque, a fin de contas, no noso día a día é cando empregamos todas tecnoloxías que, sen elas, quizais non existirían.

oin us for a captivating journey through the life of the enigmatic Hedy Lamarr, a woman whose beauty was as striking as her intellect. Hedy Lamarr was more than just a silver screen legend. Her journey from a young Austrian actress to a groundbreaking inventor is one of beauty, brilliance, and resilience. We explore the early years of Hedy's career in Vienna, where she caught the eye of industry giants and made her way to Hollywood, becoming one of the most celebrated stars of the 1930s and 1940s. But Hedy's story doesn't stop at her cinematic achievements. We'll uncover her lesser-known role as a brilliant inventor. During World War II, she collaborated with composer George Antheil to develop a groundbreaking invention – a frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology, intended for use in torpedoes. This invention, which laid the foundation for modern wireless communication and GPS systems, was way ahead of its time.

Skandale sind schon eine feine Sache. Zum richtigen Zeitpunkt am richtigen Ort kann ein solcher Akt der Empörung schnell den Bekanntheitsgrad steigern. Aber auch sonst kann er sehr nützlich sein - denn oft hilft ein Skandal, so manches Festgefahrene über den Haufen zu werfen. Das Neue bekommt dabei seine oft langersehnte Chance. In der Musikgeschichte waren es oft Uraufführungen, die sich bewusst oder unbewusst solcher Methoden bedienten. Der amerikanische Komponist Georg Antheil hat vor ungefähr 80 Jahren für mehr als nur einen Skandal gesorgt.

SynopsisToday marks the birthday of Henry Brant, born in Montreal in 1913 to American parents. In 1929, Brant returned to New York and studied composition with Wallingford Riegger and George Antheil, exponents of the then-current modernist trends in music.Brant came of age during the Great Depression, however, and has said back then avant-garde composers were faced with some hard choices. They could stop composing altogether, write for commercial films and radio, or simplify their cutting-edge music to make it more accessible. Satiric music was also an option, and some of Henry Brant's early works fall into that category.One 1938 chamber piece by Brant is titled Hommage aux Freres Marx, subtitled Three Faithful Portraits. The portraits in question are of Chico, Groucho, and Harpo, the wildly popular “Marx Brothers” comedy team of the 1930s.By the 1950s, Brant became fascinated with “spatial music” involving groups of performers positioned at different spots in a concert hall or performing space. Brant became famous for works exploring this option, and his Ice Fields for pipe organ and a symphonic orchestra, scattered at different spots around the concert hall, won for its 88-year old composer the Pulitzer Prize for music in 2002.Music Played in Today's ProgramHenry Brant (1913-2008) Hommage aux Frères Marx (Three Faithful Portraits) Boston Musica Viva Newport 85588

Welcome to March 8th, 2023 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate our 33rd State and great women in history. Today is National Oregon Day, so let's celebrate the 33rd state by sharing fun facts about this beautiful place. Marlo, did you know that Oregon residents own one quarter of the entire country's Llama population? Or how about this? Springfield, Oregon is the real life inspiration for the Simpson's hometown! Matt Groening, the Simpson's creator, is from Portland, Oregon and many of the Simpson's characters are named for Portland streets such as Flanders. Here's a good one; Portland was named by a coin flip! You can even see the coin at the Oregon Historical Society. On National Oregon Day, we salute The Beaver State. Not all women are famous for both beauty and brains but Austrian born, Heddy Lamar had both. While Hollywood honored her film career with a star on the Walk of Fame in 1960, she was also known for her work as an inventor. At the start of World War II Heddy and composer George Antheil developed a radio guidance system that armed Allied torpedoes with anti jamming capability. The principles of their work were eventually used in creating GPS and Bluetooth technology, and Lamar was later inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014. On International Women's Day, we honor women around the world who make their mark by making history right where they stand.  I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.

Écoutez la suite de l'histoire consacrée à la vie d'Hedy Lamarr, génie au visage de femme fatale. Après son mariage désastreux avec Friedrich Mandl, marchand d'armes dont les clients étaient Mussolini et Hitler, elle fuit vers les Etats-Unis. Elle intègre les studios MGM et interprète des rôles de beautés exotiques dans plusieurs films. Mais Hedy Lamarr n'est pas qu'une beauté fatale, elle possède également une intelligence supérieure et une passion pour l'invention. Avec la complicité de George Antheil, un pianiste antifasciste, naît l'idée d'une invention pour rendre les torpilles indétectables à l'ennemi durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il s'agit du principe de transmissions de signaux qui sera le prélude au développement … du GPS et du Wi-Fi ! L'historienne Virginie Girod vous explique comment cette femme autodidacte s'est affranchie des stéréotypes pour rendre possible l'une des inventions les plus connues de l'Histoire.

Hedy Lamarr was an Austrian-American Hollywood Actress from the Golden Age of cinema, yet was a technological pioneer. She began her acting career in her native Austria before emigrating to the United States in the 1930s. She appeared in numerous films throughout the 1930s and 1940s, including the controversial film "Ecstasy". Lamarr was also known for her beauty, and was voted the "most beautiful woman in films" by the Hollywood Film Industry Guild in 1940. In addition to her acting career, Lamarr was also an inventor. During World War II, she and composer George Antheil developed a secret communication system to help the Allies fight the Nazis. Their invention, a frequency-hopping system, used a piano roll to randomly change the radio frequencies of torpedoes, making them harder to detect and jam. The technology was ahead of its time and was not used during the war, but it forms the basis of modern wireless communication technologies such as Bluetooth and WiFi. In 2014, Lamarr and Antheil were posthumously inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. But that's not all, tune in now to hear the full story of the amazing, Hedy Lamarr. - History For Weirdos Feature! Thank you for listening Weirdos!

Synopsis On New Year's Eve, 1948, Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra gave the first performance of the Symphony No. 5 by the American composer George Antheil. Now, in his youth, Antheil was something of a wild man, composing a Ballet mechanicque for a percussion ensemble that included electric bells, sirens, and airplane propellers. It earned him a reputation, and Antheil titled his colorful 1945 autobiography what many called him: "The Bad Boy of Music." But the great Depression and World War II changed Antheil's attitude. Rather than write for small, avant-garde audiences, Antheil found work in Hollywood, with enough time left over for an occasional concert work, such as his Symphony No. 5. In program notes for the premiere, Antheil wrote: "The object of my creative work is to disassociate myself from the passé modern schools and create a music for myself and those around me which has no fear of developed melody, tonality, or understandable forms." Contemporary critics were not impressed. One called Antheil's new Symphony "nothing more than motion-picture music of a very common brand" and another lamented its "triviality and lack of originality," suggesting it sounded like warmed-over Prokofiev. The year 2000 marked the centennial of Antheil's birth, and only now, after years of neglect, both Antheil's radical scores from the 1920s and his more conservative work from the 1940s is being performed, recorded and re-appraised.

Skandale sind schon eine feine Sache - auch in der Musik. Oft hilft nämlich ein Skandal, so manches Festgefahrene über den Haufen zu werfen. Der Amerikaner Georg Antheil hat vor ungefähr 80 Jahren für mehr als nur einen Skandal gesorgt. Von Philadelphia über New York und Berlin ging es für ihn 1922 nach Paris. Einer anfangs geplanten Pianistenkarriere sagte er bald wieder ab. Stattdessen widmete er sich ausschließlich dem Komponieren - und kreierte so manch unerhört Neues.

Have you ever heard of a woman named Rosalind Franklin?...probably not, but you can draw a line from today's covid vaccines all the way back to her in the 1950s...she conducted some serious research into the makeup of rna molecules... Rosalind also did some groundbreaking research into the structure of DNA molecules...without her, Jim Watson and Francis Crick may not have discovered how DNA was constructed...they'd go on to win the Nobel prize in 1962...was Rosalind ever given the credit she deserved?...no... What about grace hopper?...ring any bells?...back in the 1940s, lieutenant Grace Hopper invented some computer programming techniques used by the army during World War II…this was the basis of Cobol, the compute language still used by business, finance, and administrative software today... Let's try Susan Kare...no?...she's the one who came up with the trash can icon and the command key on mac computers...she was integral to making the mac operating system as user-friendly as possible... Okay, here's a name you may know: Hedy Lamar...famous actress from old Hollywood in the 30s and 40s and one-time date of Howard Hughes, right?...but she also worked with a guy named George Antheil to come up with a radio “frequency hopping” technology that made today's Wi-Fi, cellular phones, Bluetooth, and gps communications possible...in fact, some call Hedy Lamar “the mother of Wi-Fi”...but does she get the appropriate credit for that?...nope... Those are just a few unsung heroines of technology...their work changed the world...and there are so many more in other fields, too...back in the late 1800s, Nellie Bly became the first investigative female journalist...effa Manley was the first woman to own a sports team...that was back in the 1930s...Beulah Henry was nicknamed “Lady Edison” because she was such a prolific inventor... And while we all know about Joan of Arc, what about Matilda of Tuscany?...she had a 40-year military career who successfully led troops against the Holy Roman Emperor again and again almost a thousand years ago...these are just a few unsung heroines from history... There are similar stories from the world of music: women who changed so much but have been given so little credit...let's see if we can't do a little bit to fix that...

Un 8 de julio de 1900, nacía el compositor estadounidense George Antheil. Vanguardista, pianista, autor e inventor, Antheil fue conocido como "Bad Boy de la Música", tras sus composiciones modernistas que incluían percusión, timbres eléctricos y hélices de avión, que sorprendieron y horrorizaron oyentes en Europa y los EE.UU durante la década de 1920, momento de ruptura y provocación donde no se pretendía que el escucha comprendiera el discurso musical sino que experimentara sensaciones o emociones sonoras; se aspiraba a que dejara de ser un objeto pasivo o intelectualmente intoxicado. Su producción es muy poco conocida, acaso la única obra que se ha escuchado más, tal vez por la controversia que provocó, sea el Ballet Mécanique. En su estreno europeo, bajo el griterío, disconformidad y desagrado del público, se presentó en una versión para piano solo con un proyector cinematográfico pues fue compuesta originalmente como acompañamiento sonoro del film que con el mismo nombre crearon el pintor dadaísta Fernand Léger y el cinematógrafo americano Dudley Murphy. No es sino hasta 1999 cuando se realiza un registro sonoro de la obra en la versión definitiva del propio Antheil, en una grabación realizada en la Universidad de Massachusetts bajo la producción de Lehrman. Esta versión definitiva del Ballet pour instruments Mécaniques et percussion es para tres xilófonos, cuatro tambores, tam-tam, dos pianos de cola, siete timbres eléctricos, tres motores de aeroplano, una sirena y dieciséis pianolas. A continuación escucharemos un fragmento del Ballet pour instruments Mécaniques et percussion de Antheil interpretado por Philadelphia Percussion junto a Piano Project bajo la batuta de Phillip O'Banion.

As the season (unlike any other) winds down, we give the last word to Beethoven and his Symphony No. 6, the Pastoral symphony. Also on the docket: American composer (unlike any other) George Antheil and his very pastoral Serenade for Strings. We take it a step further with our pastoral pop quiz, and – perhaps best of all – welcome TSO Music Director Alain Trudel back into the recording studio (live and in the flesh!) after a year of phoning it in under quarantine.

I denne episoden snakker vi om George Antheil. Om du ikke har hørt om han før er det helt greit, det hadde heller ikke Nikolai. Likevel har vi å gjøre med en fyr, hvis liv tar de mest overraskende vendinger. Kanskje den eneste komponisten som også er representert i «Inventors hall of fame»?

Welcome to March 8th, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate a magical state and women who make history. In downtown Portland, you'll find the smallest park in the world—a patch of land only 2 feet across. The land was once intended for a street light, but the light was never installed. The empty site caught the eye of journalist Dick Fagan, who wrote a column and dubbed the place Mill Ends Park. It features a tiny swimming pool, statues, and a mini Ferris wheel. Mill Ends is also home to the only leprechaun colony outside of Ireland. Unfortunately, the leprechauns are invisible. On National Oregon Day, we celebrate the Beaver State and all its weird and wonderful sights, from Crater Lake to leprechauns.  Not all women are famous for both beauty and brains but Austrian born, Heddy Lamar possessed both. While Hollywood honored her film career with a star on the Walk of Fame in 1960, she was also known for her work as an inventor. At the start of World War II Heddy and composer George Antheil developed a radio guidance system that armed Allied torpedoes with anti jamming capability. The principles of their work were eventually used in creating GPS and Bluetooth technology, and Lamar was later inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014. On International Women's Day, we honor women around the world who make their mark by making history right where they stand. I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Anthony Loder, Son of Legendary Actress and Inventor, Hedy LamarrAbout Harvey's guest:Anthony Loder is the son of one of the most glamorous and fascinating screen goddesses in cinematic history.  At one time, she was considered the world's most beautiful woman:  Hedy Lamarr.    She lit up the screen in films like “Algiers”, “Boom Town”, “Ziegfeld Girl” and “Samson and Delilah”.  But what very few people knew, until her son made a point of bringing worldwide awareness to it, is that Hedy Lamarr was not just an actress.  She was a mathematical and scientific genius.  At the beginning of World War II, she and composer George Anthyle developed a radio guidance system using frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology for Allied torpedoes, intended to defeat the threat of jamming by the Axis powers.  The technology that she invented is largely responsible for the creation of wireless communications, including cell phones, GPS,  Wifi and Bluetooth.  She was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014.  Our guest produced a fascinating documentary in 2004 called “Calling Hedy Lamarr”, and he also appeared in the 2017 documentary entitled “Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story”. Hedy Lamarr, born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler was an Austrian-born American film actress and inventor.  Her father was born to a Galician Jewish family in Lemberg (now Lviv in Ukraine) and was a successful bank director.   Trude, her mother, a pianist and Budapest native, had come from an upper-class Hungarian Jewish family.  She had converted to Catholicism and was described as a "practicing Christian" who raised her daughter as a Christian.Lamarr helped get her mother out of Austria after it had been absorbed by the Third Reich and to the United States, where Gertrude later became an American citizen. She put "Hebrew" as her race on her petition for naturalization, which was a term often used in Europe.After a brief early film career in Czechoslovakia, including the controversial Ecstasy (1933), to avoid the Nazi persecution of Jews following the Anschluss, she fled from her husband, a wealthy Austrian ammunition manufacturer, and secretly moved to Paris. Traveling to London, she met Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio head Louis B. Mayer, who offered her a movie contract in Hollywood. She became a film star with her performance in Algiers (1938).  Her MGM films include Lady of the Tropics (1939), Boom Town (1940), H.M. Pulham, Esq. (1941), and White Cargo (1942).  Her greatest success was as Delilah in Cecil B. DeMille's Samson and Delilah (1949).   During World War II, Lamarr learned that radio-controlled torpedoes could easily be jammed and set off course.  She thought of creating a frequency-hopping signal that could not be tracked or jammed. She and a friend, composer George Antheil, drafted designs for the frequency-hopping system, which they patented on August 11, 1942.In 1997, Lamarr received the Electronic Frontier Foundation Pioneer Award and the Bulbie Gnass Spirit of Achievement Bronze Award, given to individuals whose creative lifetime achievements in the arts, sciences, business, or invention fields have significantly contributed to society. The principles of their work are incorporated into Bluetooth and GPS technology and are similar to methods used in legacy versions of CDMA and Wi-Fi.  This work led to their induction into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014.For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/https://www.hedylamarr.com/#HedyLamarr #AnthonyLoder  #harveybrownstoneinterviews

Synopsis It was on today's date in 1926, an avant-garde musical piece entitled “Ballet Mechanique,” scored for multiple pianos and percussion, had its PUBLIC premiere at the Theatre des Champs-Elysees in Paris. Its composer was a 25-year old American named George Antheil. But Antheil's piece had its PRIVATE premiere earlier that year at the palatial Parisian home of a very beautiful – and very rich – young American who wanted to break into elite European society. Antheil suggested that the lure of cutting edge music and buckets of free champagne would win over her specially invited audience of Parisian bluebloods. Antheil described the scene as follows: “8 grand pianos filled up the giant living room completely and without an extra inch of room, while the xylophones and percussion were located in the side room and on the giant staircase. [The conductor] stood at the top of the piano in the center. To this already jammed-packed house, add 200 guests!" Maybe it was the music, maybe it was the champagne, but it did the trick. “The last we saw of our beautiful young hostess that day,” Antheil recalled, “she was being thrown up and down in a blanket by two princesses, a duchess, and three Italian marchesas.” Music Played in Today's Program George Antheil (1900 - 1959): Ballet Mecanique (Ensemble Modern; HK Gruber, cond.)

Today, Emily shares a story of old Hollywood, multiple marriages, and a genius inventor, Hedy Lamarr. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52h_LZnsMhE&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=YouTubeMovies (Watch a documentary) on the life of Hedy dubbed "The World's Most Beautiful Woman." Hedy Lamarr was a clever and complex woman. Although Hedy was a brilliant inventor and incredibly shrewd, during her life she was primarily known for her successful career as a glamorous icon of old Hollywood and many marriages. Out of the spotlight (or using it to her advantage), Hedy proved herself to be a progressive thinker, working to eliminate boundaries not just for herself but all women.  The innovation in Hedy was Inspired by her father. As a young child, he often spoke to her about the mechanics of machines and challenged her to think critically.  During WWII, Hedy and her friend and avant-garde piano composer, George Antheil designs and shared a patent for an invention that prevented signals transmitted over radio from being intercepted by the enemy. This secret communication system was designed with the purpose of blocking Nazis from intercepting Allied transmissions. This invention was called Frequency hopping. Rather than broadcasting over a single channel, messages would jump seemingly at random across many channels. As a nod to Antheil, their invention used 88 channels like the keys on a piano.  1997 Hedy and George Antheil received the Pioneer Award from the Electronic Frontier Foundation for their contributions to the field of spread-spectrum technology. Member of the awarding committee said this about the coveted award “Ironically, this tool they developed to defend democracy half a century ago promises to extend democracy in the 21st century.” Hedy's inventions were revolutionary and have led us to modern-day Wi-Fi. Despite being repeatedly underestimated, rejected, and patronized Hedy has shown us that you are the result of your effort, not what others are ready to accept.  Books we are currently reading: • Ask for it: How Women Can Use the Power of Negotiation to Get What They Really Want by Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever • American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins** **as a note about American Dirt, this novel is about the experiences of a Mexican woman's flight to the United States with her son. It is written by a woman who identifies as white, Latinx. While we have enjoyed the novel and the conversations it has sparked we acknowledge the controversy of whitewashing and pandering language as well as the depth of racism within the publishing industry. We look forward to bringing you a recommendation of a novel written by a Latino author reflecting their own narrative. We hope to see Latino authors receiving the same financial support and media acclaim that has been received by American Dirt.

Episode 16, 2020: Antheil’s Ballet Mécanique Wednesday 18 November 2020 For ANAM Radio’s final 2020 episode, Phil Lambert (ANAM Music Librarian) and Peter Neville (ANAM Head of Percussion) talk about one of the 20th Century’s unique, bizarre and outrageous compositions, George Antheil’s Ballet Mécanique. Born in New Jersey, Antheil found himself in Paris in the 1920s along with other great American modernists of the time. In 1922, Antheil met Russian composer Igor Stravinsky who then had an idea of writing a piece for the pianola. The following year, Antheil came up with his own composition for 16 pianolas and percussion. Ballet Mécanique was premiered at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in 1926 to a sold-out concert attended by James Joyce and TS Elliott, but his eclectic musical experiments proved to be harder to pull off during his time resulting to a riot performance. After not being able to keep up with the complexity of the composition, it was believed that Antheil never tried to make anything as ambitious again and became a more conventional composer. Ballet Mécanique was conducted by Peter Neville and performed by ANAM musicians and guest artists in 2016.

Today marks the birthday of Henry Brant, born in Montreal in 1913 to American parents. In 1929, Brant returned to New York and studied composition with Wallingford Riegger and George Antheil, exponents of the then-current modernist trends in music. Brant came of age during the Great Depression, however, and has said back then avant-garde composers were faced with some hard choices. They could stop composing altogether, write for commercial films and radio, or simplify their cutting-edge music to make it more accessible. Satiric music was also an option, and some of Henry Brant’s early works fall into that category. One 1938 chamber piece by Brant is entitled “Hommage aux Freres Marx,” subtitled “Three Faithful Portraits.” The portraits in question are of Chico, Groucho, and Harpo, the wildly popular “Marx Brothers” comedy team of the 1930s. By the 1950s, Brant became fascinated with “spatial music” involving groups of performers positioned at different spots in a concert hall or performing space. Brant became famous for works exploring this option, and his “Ice Fields” for pipe organ and a symphonic orchestra, scattered at different spots around the concert hall, won for its 88-year old composer the Pulitzer Prize for music in 2002.

Ein Amerikaner in Paris: 1923 schreibt der junge George Antheil seine zweite Violinsonate "with accompaniment of piano and drums" und widmet sie dem Dichter Ezra Pound. Die beiden verbindet eine heftige Aversion gegen den Mainstream. Antheils provokante Collage zitiert Hits und funktioniert das Klavier kurzerhand zum Schlagwerk um. (Autor: Martin Zingsheim)

Growing up in Austria-Hungary, Hedy Lamarr had two great passions: acting and inventing. She’s best known for her work in Hollywood, stunning American audiences with her beauty and compelling dramatic talents. But recently she’s earned recognition for her technological contributions as well. She and her friend, the composer George Antheil, received a patent for radio-frequency technology that is now valued at over 300 Billion dollars. Because of Hedy, your family can safely send secure text messages and access WIFI. Our narrator this episode, actress Tatiana Maslany, has also found success on screen. She received an Emmy and was nominated for a Golden Globe after her incredible performance in the “Orphan Black” television series. This summer, she’ll star in HBO’s limited series, “Perry Mason.”This podcast is an expansion of Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls by Elena Favilli and Francesca Cavallo.

Lee and Daniel are back with two listener suggestions. First up they try and uncover some of the hidden meanings in the first team-up of Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, in "The Black Cat" (1934). After that they get even more deep into weirdness with "Dementia" (1955). Post-WWI horrors; preservation of women in jizz; the insanity of a woman daring to get revenge for the abuse of her sex in 1950s cinema; and Ed McMahon? All of this and more, as well as a large chunk of listener comments and more of that Baby Yoda show talk.

Wie konnte eine grundsätzlich vernünftige Gesellschaft in einen kollektiven Wahn verfallen, der zu Faschismus und Massenmord führte? Sylvère Lotringer, Professor an der New Yorker Columbia University, sucht eine Antwort in der Auseinandersetzung mit dem Schauspieler und Dichter Antonin Artaud. Mit Mikrofon und Tonband macht sich Sylvère Lotringer 1984 auf den Weg nach Frankreich. Artaud ist zu dem Zeitpunkt längst tot. Aber es gibt Zeitzeugen, die noch leben. Zum Beispiel die beiden Psychiater, die den exzentrischen Schauspieler und Theatererneuerer behandelten, als er von 1937 bis 1945 in einer Irrenanstalt weggesperrt war. Mit unzähligen Elektroschocks versuchten sie ihn zurück in die Normalität zu therapieren. Lotringer führt lange Gespräche mit den Ärzten. Über Artaud, seine Bedeutung in der Kunstwelt und ihre therapeutischen Ansätze. Es sind tragikomische Dialoge, die die intolerante und engstirnige Haltung einer Machtelite widerspiegeln. Jahrzehnte nach diesen Interviews wundert sich der achtzigjährige Lotringer, dass die alte Frage, was normal ist und wer verrückt - und wer das Recht hat, dies zu bestimmen, sich in Zeiten des wiedererstarkten Rechtspopulismus erneut stellt. Mit: Wolfram Koch (Sylvère), Bernd Moss (Latrémolière), Jürgen Holtz (Ferdière), Moritz Grove (Artaud), Anne Müller (Thévenin), Katharina Matz (Robert) und Regina Lemnitz (Schwester) Musik: Phil Smith, George Antheil und Dmitri Kourliandsky - Tontechnik: Mirjam Emmenegger und Peter Kainz - Regie: Jean-Claude Kuner - Produktion: SRF 2019 - Dauer: 66'

Panelen drabbas av smärtan i Sir James MacMillans nyskrivna kyrkomusik och utnämner den till en modern klassiker. Dessutom - en färgrik Bruckner-tolkning och George Antheil, musikens badboy.   Veckans skivor: GEORGE ANTHEIL - STORGÅRDS Symfoni nr 3 och 6 och andra verk BBC:s filharmoniska orkester John Storgårds, dirigent Chandos Betyg: 4   TASMIN LITTLE Musik av Amy Beach, Clara Schumann och Dame Ethel Smythe Tasmin Little, violin John Lenehan, piano Chandos Betyg: 4 JAMES MACMILLAN - STABAT MATER Musik av James MacMillan Britten Sinfonia, orkester The Sixteen, kör Harry Christophers, dirigent Betyg: 4 BRUCKNER SYMFONI NR 8 Bayerska radions symfoniorkester i München Mariss Jansons, dirigent Betyg: 5 - totalfemma!   Musikrevyn möter: Francesco Piemontesi Den schweiziske pianisten Francesco Piemontesi är en ofta sedd gäst i Berwaldhallen men i våras gjorde han även sin debut med Kungliga Filharmonikerna i Stockholm. Och dessutom är Piemontesi allt flitigare på skiva. Sofia Nyblom har träffat honom. Johans bästa: Ivan Fischers Mahler-sjua Sällan är Gustav Mahler mer medvetet splittrad än i sin sjunde symfoni komponerad 1904 till 05. Det är musik som bär sina neuroser utanpå. Vi hör den i Ivan Fischers nya inspelning med Budapests festivalorkester

Er war das Enfant Terrible der neuen Musik: der amerikanische Komponist George Antheil. Sein "Ballet Mécanique" machte ihn 1924 schlagartig bekannt. Zur Besetzung gehörten u. a. Propeller, eine Sirene und 16 Pianolas. Kein Wunder, dass die Uraufführung im Tumult endete. Autor Martin Zingsheim findet: Antheil schrieb das vielleicht krawalligste Meisterstück der Musikgeschichte.

Aad van Nieuwkerk verkent iedere zaterdag en zondag tussen 23.00 en 24.00 uur de grenzen van de klassieke muziek. Met nieuwe releases, concerttips, reportages, actuele ontwikkelingen in de muziekwereld, een vaste plek voor jong talent, en natuurlijk: adembenemende muziek! Om te beginnen van de 20e eeuwse Amerikaan die nog altijd geldt als het archetypische enfant terrible: George Antheil. En verder van Arthur Lourié, Camille Saint-Saëns, Andrea Falconieri en George Crumb.

Paris Théâtre des Champs Elysées, 4. Oktober 1923: Tumult an skandalerprobten Ort. Elf Jahre nach dem Aufruhr, den Strawinskys "Le Sacre du Printemps" im selben Saal verursacht hatte, bringt ein kleiner Mann am Flügel das Publikum zum Rasen. Sein Name: George Antheil.

This coffee break continues the journey on the far reaches of what can be called music. We listen to a piece from composer Miguel Del Aguila then careen into a discussion of Frank Zappa playing bicycle on the old Steve Allen Show. Did Dvorak anticipate ragtime music? We listen to The American Suite and hear the familiar syncopation hidden into a standard classical composition. Wait, what! Airplane engines in an orchestra? What was George Antheil, the bad boy of music, thinking? Contact us at yccb@mauriceriverpress.com Listen to a complete piece by Miguel Del Aguila https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=tppwijrN18o Here's Frank Zappa on the Steve Allen Show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MewcnFl_6Y

Hold on to your hats and wigs, because we're talking about the self-proclaimed bad boy of 20th Century music, George Antheil! Though he never realized lasting acclaim as a composer, he is definitely fun to talk about, and eventually did some sciencey things that made a lasting impact on technology we use every day.

The co-authors of the classic Hollywood mysteries "Design For Dying" and "Dangerous To Know" join us to talk noir, costume design, and mystery writing. We start with their appearance at NOIR CITY Hollywood to introduce This Gun For Hire (2:30), as well as some of this year's movies at their hometown festival of NOIR CITY Seattle, including The Taking Of Pelham 123 and The Ladykillers (4:00). We also discuss the editing and production of the Film Noir Foundation's NOIR CITY e-magazine, where Vince is the co-managing editor (13:20), plus Vince's long-running "Cocktails And Crime" e-magazine column (17:45). Then it's on to legendary costume designer Edith Head. We talk about the Keenans' e-magazine article exploring her career and her work on film noir (21:00), her partnerships with Alfred Hitchcock and Grace Kelly (28:20), plus her work designing clothes for the Academy Awards and for Bette Davis (32:10). Edith Head co-stars in the Keenans' books written under the pseudonym Renee Patrick. We discuss the origins of writing mystery novels centered around costume design in classic Hollywood, plus Edith's partner in fighting crime, Lillian Frost (37:40). Then we talk about the mechanics of mystery writing (where Vince explains the term "pantser") (43:50), choosing the books' titles (46:50), some of the amazing true Hollywood stories and real-life people who appear throughout the novels (51:00), inventing names for a fictional movie studio and some particularly entertaining fake movie titles (1:05:40), and what's next for Lillian and Edith in more novels to come (1:12:55).

On this week's episode we are talking about a gal who was promoted by Louis B. Mayer as “the world’s most beautiful woman.” Her patent, with George Antheil, is the blueprint for a technology we all use today.  It’s called Frequency Hopping and it's used in cell phones, blue tooth and in wi-fi.

This episode was decided by listeners who responded to a poll I put up last week on Twitter asking if I should do a regular show for Episode 30 or if I should do a special episode with 30 random facts. If you're not already, follow @storybehindpod on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram so you can contribute to the show. What you decided was episode 30 should be 30 random facts, so without further ado, here we go! I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind 30 Random Things. Many things we eat and drink contain grass. Not the kinds that necessarily grow in our yards, but varieties like wheat grass and barley grass are found in beer, whiskey and bread. A way to distinguish a monkey from an ape is their tails. Apes don't have tails, but monkeys do. Yams commonly found in your grocery store are probably sweet potatoes. True yams grow in Africa and Asia and are relatively tough to find. They are related to the lily family, while sweet potatoes are related to the morning glory family. But grocery stores distinguish sweet potatoes as being a firm sweet potato with a light flesh and a yam as being a soft sweet potato with a more orange or copper color. The moons and natural satellites of Uranis were named for characters in works by William Shakespeare and Alexander Pope, like Ophelia, Juliet, Belinda and Umbriel. The tradition was started by astronomer William Lassell, who discovered the first two in 1851. Cordelia from King Lear Ophelia from Hamlet Bianca from Taming of the Shrew Cressida from Troilus and Cressida Desdemona from Othello Juliet from Romeo and Juliet Portia from Merchant of Venice Rosalind from As You Like It Belinda, Umbriel  from Rape of Lock Puck, Titania and Oberon from A Midsummer Night's Dream Miranda, Ariel, Caliban, Sycorax, Prospero, Setebos, Stephano and Trinculo from The Tempest Hades, from Greek mythology, is not the basis for Satan in Christianity. Hades isn't necessarily a bad guy -- his job is simply to guard the Underworld, which is where all souls were believed to have gone when they died. There are parts of the Underworld where evil souls are tortured, much like Christianity's description of Hell, but souls considered good are rewarded in the Underworld. Erasers work by attracting the graphite from pencils off the paper and onto the rubber. Before our modern-day erasers, people would often use balled up bread to fix their mistakes on paper. Raisins were discovered accidentally when a San Fransisco grocer began selling grapes that had been dried out due to the heat wave 1873. He called them a “Peruvian Delicacy.” Eclair is the French word for Lightning. It's unclear why the cream-filled pastry is named that. One theory is that the name refers to the flaky outside and creamy inside being “light,” and a second theory is that it's eaten in a flash. Shirley Temple has fought soda companies twice for trying to market the ginger ale and grenadine drink named in her honor. Both times, she won. In 1988 when a California company tried to market Shirley T. Sparkling Soda, she was quoted by the New York Times as saying, “I will fight it like a tigress. All a celebrity has is their name.” If you've ever wondered where the phrase “Steal one's thunder” comes from, it's from John Dennis, an English dramatist from the 1700s, who invented a device for one of his plays that made a thunder sound. When his play flopped, the theater used the device for another play, causing Dennis to say, “That is my thunder, by God; the villains will play my thunder, but not my play.” “Steal my Sunshine,” the poppy ‘90s favorite by the brother-sister band Len isn't actually as positive as the title implies. It's been said the lyrics either refer to drugs or depression and how someone can make you feel worse by stealing your sunshine. The word “sychophant,” which basically means a self-serving suck up, has two possible origins. Both are pretty great. The first is that it comes from the Greek words “suko,” which means Fig, and “phantes,” which means people who reveal something. Back then, those who exported figs were doing so illegally, and anyone who told on them to authorities was called a Fig Revealer, or Suko-Phant. But the Oxford English Dictionary acknowledges this origin story to be unsubstantiated. The second origin comes from the Greek “sykophantes”, the Latin “sycophanta” and the Middle French version, “sycophante” in the 1530s, which also has to do with figs. In ancient Greece, it was a vulgar gesture to stick ones thumb between two fingers, which was thought to resemble a fig. It doesn't sound too bad until you find out that a fig was symbolic of a certain lady part. This gesture was commonly used as a taunt in Greek sporting events. Antarctica is the world's largest desert. Hard to believe, right? But a desert is actually defined not by sand or heat, but by the amount of precipitation it receives, and Antarctica only gets an average of 2 inches of snow per year. New words are added to English language at a rate of one new word every two hours. Coca-Cola bottles were designed when the company sponsored a competition to design distinctive bottles. At the time, all beverages were put in similar bottles, making it difficult to making it difficult to distinguish one drink from the other when kept cool in a bucket of ice water. The designer of the bottles originally wanted to draw inspiration from the coca leaf or kola nut, but the local library didn't have pictures of either. But he came up with the now iconic design of the Coca-Cola bottle after finding a picture of a cacao pod. “Enormity” is often thought to mean enormous, but it actually means extreme evil. It can be used, however, to mean a gigantic amount of evil. Remember the movie in which Sinbad played a genie called “Shazam?” Or reading the childhood books, “The Berenstein Bears” or even Curious George's tail? Yeah … those actually never happened. At least, according to what people are calling The Mandela Effect, a phenomenon where many swear they remember something one way, but it's actually different. By the way, there's no record of the movie Shazam, the books we read as kids were actually the BerenstAin Bears, and Curious George does not have a tail, which suggests he's an ape rather than a “little monkey,” as he's called in books. Eyes that are two different colors on a person is called Heterochromia. Some people mistakenly think David Bowie had this, but one of his pupils was permanently dilated his friend's fingernail sliced his eye when they got into a fight as teenagers. Mozart was so good at playing music at a young age, when he performed in London, people suspected him of being a drawf posing as a 9-year-old child. Austrian actress Hedy Lamarr wanted to help the war effort during World War II and, with the help of composer George Antheil, developed wireless communications technology we still use today in everyday objects such as cell phones. In “The Big Lebowski,” the word Dude is used 161 times and “man” is used 147. No one really knows why sometimes we get the sensation of falling when we're about to fall asleep. It's called a hypnic jerk and one theory is it's a leftover response from when humans used to sleep on branches in trees. V for Victory was popularized by Winston Churchill during World War II. But it was first proposed as a symbol for resistance to tyranny by Victor de Laveleye who was exiled to England after the Nazi invasion of Belgium in 1940. In case you ever wanted to kiss a baby iguana on the mouth, you might want to be aware that they often eat the poop of adult iguanas to get bacteria necessary for digesting their food. George Orwell's “1984,” written in 1949, shot to the top of Amazon Best-Sellers last week, which for those of you listening in the future was the second to last week of January 2017 following a number of references to the book on Twitter after Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway's statement that White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer used "alternative facts" when describing Inauguration Day. If you see a representation of a pirate wearing an eye patch, it's most likely not because he lost his eye -- a theory, which was deemed Plausible by “Mythbusters,” is that wearing an eye patch kept that eye's pupil dilated so seeing in the dark was easier when the patch was removed. Having this skill was handy when pirates had to go below deck quickly. Lincoln's famous beard was grown because 11-year-old Grace Bedell of Westfield, New York, wrote him a letter suggesting growing a beard to hide his gaunt face before the upcoming presidential election. On the way to his inauguration, he made a special stop in Westfield to meet Bedell and, shaking her hand, said,“You see? I let these whiskers grow for you.” As much as fans love him, Darth Vader only appears on screen for a total of 12 minutes in the original Star Wars. Not that I recommend you try it, but Romans used to effectively whiten their teeth with urine. There are two theories most probable about the origin of pink lemonade. Neither of them involve adding strawberry or raspberry to the mixture, as is common today and both involve the circus. One is that red cinnamon candies were accidentally dropped in a vat of lemonade in 1912 and, because there wasn't enough time to make a new batch, the lemonade was sold and became a hit. The second is that a lemonade salesman at the circus in 1857 ran out of water to make lemonade and grabbed a tub of water that was previously used to wash a performer's pink tights. The role of Shirley Temple was played by Laura McClellan from The Productive Woman podcast, John Dennis was played by Danny Savage from the podcast Idiom Savant, and Stargate Pioneer from Better Podcasting played Abraham Lincoln. Starting Thursday, The Story Behind will be doing more consecutive theme episodes starting with Forrest Gump February.

Tom Klaassen verkent iedere zaterdag en zondag tussen 23.00 en 24.00 uur de grenzen van de klassieke muziek. Vandaag zijn Dutch Classical Talent-kandidaten Shin Sihan (viool) en Anne Brackman (piano) te gast in de studio. Ze spelen de wonderlijke, exuberante en vrolijke Tweede Sonate voor viool en piano van de Amerikaanse componist George Antheil (die naar verluidt altijd een revolver bij zich had als hij pianorecitals gaf). Verder is er muziek van Vivaldi, Kate Moore en Johann Johannson.

On this day in 1942, the actress Hedy Lamarr and the composer George Antheil were granted a patent for a frequency hopping torpedo. On today's "A Classical Day in the Life", find out more about this seemingly improbable reality.

Een rel als de beste reclame, dat wilde de jonge George Antheil ook wel. Dus verhuisde hij naar Parijs en werd hij The Bad Boy Of Music. De bijbehorende playlist: http://bit.ly/badboyofmusic

    Mulheres Pioneiras na Tecnologia da Informação Programadoras do ENIAC   Nessa semana que se comemora o dia internacional da mulher (08/03), vale a pena lembrarmos das mulheres que mudaram o mundo através da tecnologia. Ada Lovelace (10 de dezembro de 1815 — 27 de novembro de 1852), primeira programadora Nascida como Augusta Ada Byron, foi uma matemática e escritora inglesa. Seu grande feito escrito o primeiro algoritmo para ser processado por uma máquina, a máquina analítica de Charles Babbage em 1842 e publicado em 1843, ou seja criou o conceito de pedaços de código que podem ser reutilizados e o laços (ou loops). Em 1953, mais de cem anos depois de sua morte, as notas de Ada sobre a máquina analítica de Babbage foram republicadas. A máquina foi reconhecida como um primeiro modelo de computador e as notas de Ada como a descrição de um computador e um software. Em sua homenagem a Linguagem ADA recebeu o seu nome. Hedy Lamarr (Viena, 9 de novembro de 1914 — Altamonte Springs, 19 de janeiro de 2000) Nascida como Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler escolheu seu nome artístico em homenagem a atriz de cinema mudo Barbara La Marr. Apesar de ser mais conhecida como atriz, desenvolveu , juntamente com o compositor George Antheil, um sistema de comunicações para as Forças Armadas dos Estados Unidos. A patente para o chamado “frequency hopping” ajudou a criar bases para tecnologias muito conhecidas de todos nós como CDMA, Bluetooth, GPS e Wi-Fi (todas conexões de rede sem fio e móveis). Frase Famosa: "Qualquer garota pode ser glamurosa. Tudo o que tem a fazer é ficar parada e parecer estúpida." Grace Hopper Falamos sobre ela no episódio 0004 do Confianti, se você não conhece a história dela dê uma passada Anita Borg (Chicago, 17 Janeiro 1949 - Sonoma, 6 de Abril de 2003) Ela desenvolveu e patenteou um método para auxiliar na análise e desenho de sistemas de memória de alta velocidades. Esse tipo de tecnologia serviu de base para as memórias atuais que temos e que você usa em seu smartphone, tablet, notebook e demais dispositivos que precisem de memória e processamento. Fundou em 1987 o Syster, primeira rede de email para mulheres de tecnologia. Em 1994 criou o Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, um evento para celebrar e incentivar as mulheres na Tecnologia da Informação (Computação). A sua ambição era chegar em 2020 com 50% do mercado de tecnologia estar ser ocupado por mulheres. As Seis Programadoras Pioneiras do ENIAC Frances Bilas Spence Jean Jennings Bartik Marlyn Wescoff Meltzer. Kathleen McNulty Mauchly Auntonelli. Frances Elizabeth Holberton. Ruth Lichterman Teitelbaum Em 1945, quase  Segunda Guerra Mundial, 6 matemáticas foram contratadas pelo governo dos EUA para trabalhar em um projeto ultra-secreto - a programação de computador digital primeiro totalmente eletrônico dos EUA. Sem qualquer linguagem de codificação formal ou ferramentas, elas conseguiram tornar a máquina capaz de realizar cálculos complexos 10.000 vezes mais rápido do que qualquer outra máquina no momento, essencialmente, deram o pontapé inicial no processo da revolução digital,  mas apesar do seu envolvimento, a maioria das pessoas nunca ouviu falar delas, porque a sua contribuição foi encoberta no momento devido ao seu gênero. Chamado ENIAC - Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (Integrador Numérico Eletrônico e  Computador) - a máquina foi quase toda construída por homens, mas ele foi programado por uma equipe de seis mulheres - Betty Jean Jennings Bartik, Kathleen McNulty Mauchly Antonelli, Ruth Lichterman Teitelbaum, Frances Bilas Spence, Marlyn Wescoff Meltzer, e Betty Snyder Holberton. Na época eram chamadas, de as "computadores" (termo usado a época para designar pessoas que faziam as rotinas de cálculo manualmente, normalmente cálculos balísticos). As mulheres tinham formação superior em matemática e foram recrutadas para o importante trabalho de depuração do computador e pa...

Babes of Science is a podcast about women who made an impact in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics. Learn more at babesofscience.com IN THIS EPISODE Poncie talks about Hedy Lamarr, who suggested and then patented spread spectrum, or frequency hopping, to aid torpedoes during World War II. It later became the basis for bluetooth, cell phone communications, and some internet connections. She also happened to be a movie star. Music in this episode by George Antheil and Podington Bear.

Skådespelerskan Hedy Lamarr (1913-2000) kallades för den vackraste kvinnan i världen. Men hon var inte bara snygg, hon var smartare än de flesta. 1942 - på toppen av sin karriär i Hollywood - fick hon USA-patent på uppfinningen Secret Communications System. Det var en idé om frekvenshoppning som ligger till grund för dagens trådlösa kommunikation, som bland annat Blue Tooth, GPS och Wi-Fi. Men varken hon eller hennes samarbetspartner, kompositören George Antheil, fick gehör för sin idé då. I veckans STIL berättar vi mer om henne, och hennes uppfinnande liv. Hedy Lamarr började sin karriär på vita duken i Europa. Hon föddes i Wien och ställde till skandal med en tjeckisk film med titeln Extas, 1933. I denna stumfilm skymtar man inte bara hennes nakna stjärt och bröst. Den anses framför allt vara den första film som visar en simulerad orgasm i bild (hej, Meg Ryan). Anledningen till hennes lätt plågade minspel skyllde hon på regissören – han låg under sängen och stack säkerhetsnålar i hennes rumpa, så att hon skulle reagera. Hedy Lamarr blev känd för mycket, men inte för sitt uttrycksfulla minspel. Men hennes look med långt mörkt hår, delat i mittbena, blev trendsättande och knycktes av Joan Crawford, Vivian Leigh och Snövit. Den tecknade versionen som kom ut 1937 är faktiskt modellerad efter Hedy Lamarr. I Hollywood föredrog Hedy Lamarr att sitta hemma och uppfinna på sin fritid. Hon inredde ett helt rum med god belysning, verktyg och uppslagsböcker. I den avantgardistiske kompositören George Antheil, känd för verket Ballet Mecanique (tänkt att spelas med hjälp av sex synkroniserade självspelande pianon, två flyglar, elektroniska klockor, xylofoner, bastrummor, en siren och tre flygplansmotorer) fick hon en uppfinnande själsfrände. Kanske var hon för snygg, och han för konstig. Den amerikanska armén, till vilken de presenterade sin idé om fjärrkontroll av torpeder med hjälp av frekvenshoppning, stuvades undan. Många har dock tittat på den och inspirerats och 1997 tilldelades de ”Pionjärpriset” av den prestigefulla organisationen EFF, Electronic Frontier Foundation i San Francisco. I programmet berättar vi mer om Hedy Lamarrs liv och karriär. Vi har även träffat kvinnliga tekniknördar som berättar om sin stil, eller brist därpå. Den amerikanske modeskaparen Ralph Laurens son, David Lauren, berättar om varför digital teknik är så viktigt för modet, och modehus. Susanna Petersdotter, som vågade ställa sig spritt språngande naken mitt på Avenyn i Göteborg till omslaget av antologin Ätstört berättar hur det kändes. Dessutom har vi pratat med det lilla tyska familjeföretaget som tillverkade uppfinnaren Steve Jobs runda brillor. Och så frågar vi oss – är det bara goda människor som bär runda glasögon? Veckans gäst är Erik Mellgren, journalist på tidningen Ny Teknik och redaktör för magasinet Teknikhistoria.

Hollywood, 1940. Hedy Lamarr, known in Hollywood as 'the most beautiful woman in films' already had quite a reputation. The first woman to perform a nude scene in mainstream cinema, Hedy had fled Europe and a marriage to Mussolini's arms dealer to become box office gold, starring alongside Clark Gable and Spencer Tracey. But it wasn't the life she wanted. Knowing, from her marriage in Vienna, that military use of torpedos was being hampered by their single-frequency transmissions, Hedy, along with George Antheil, her piano-playing neighbour, set about creating a system called frequency hopping, in which parts of a signal were sent across different frequencies.

The system was based on the piano rolls that Antheil used in his player pianos, and allowed torpedos to be controlled without being intercepted. The patent she held is the basis for the wi-fi, GPS and mobile communications we use today.

La scoperta di Hedy Lamarr e George Antheil al giorno d’oggi è cardine dei sistemi di comunicazione radio, come telefoni cellulari e reti senza fili. Tuttavia è la vita straordinaria di Hedy, donna bellissima, geniale e stella di prima grandezza ad Hollywood a rendere questo racconto unico ed avventuroso.
