About Union Square:
"Union Square, New York City, exhibits a diverse and exotic marketplace each day.
Union Square Park (also known as Union Square) is an important and historic intersection in New York City, located where Broadway and the Bowery came together in the early 19th century; its name does not celebrate the federal union but rather denotes the fact that "here was the union of the two principal thoroughfares of the island"[4] and the confluence of several trolley lines, as in the term "union station." Today it is bounded by 14th Street to the south, Union Square West on the west side, 17th Street on the north, and on the east Union Square East, which links together Broadway and Park Avenue South to Fourth Avenue and the continuation of Broadway. The park is under the aegis of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.
Neighborhoods around the park are the Flatiron District to the north, Chelsea to the west, Greenwich Village and New York University to the south, and Gramercy to the east. Also nearby is The New School. The eastern side of the square is dominated by the Zeckendorf Towers, the south side by One Union Square (1999) voted New York’s Ugliest Building by a panel of architects assembled by the New York Post. It features a kinetic wall sculpture and digital clock expelling bursts of steam, titled Metronome.
Union Square is noted for its impressive equestrian statue of George Washington, modeled by Henry Kirke Brown and unveiled in 1856, the first public sculpture erected in New York since the equestrian statue of George III in 1770 and the first American equestrian sculpture cast in bronze. Other statues in the park include the Marquis de Lafayette, modeled by Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi and dedicated at the Centennial, July 4, 1876, Abraham Lincoln, modeled by Henry Kirke Brown (1870), and the James Fountain (1881), a Temperance fountain with the figure of Charity who empties her jug of water, aided by a child; it was donated by Daniel Willis James and sculpted by Adolf Donndorf. A newer addition is a statue of Mahatma Gandhi in the southwest corner of the park, added in 1986, to mark Union Square’s history of social activism."

Question by bassatom: How do I use a metronome?
I have a digital metronome.
how do I use it to practice a lick for speed on the guitar, say a 4 note lick like 5787 on the 1st string?
there’s a button to adjust the time sugnature like 1/4,2/4,4/4 timing, and there’s one to adjust the note value from a quaver to demisemiquaver…….can someone guide me ?

Put the metronome on 60,and go through a small part of the music (depending on your skills,and level of music,this may be a few measures,one measure,or a few notes,even one note).Make all notes whole notes,that is,take 4 clicks for each note.
During the 4 clicks you are waiting,prepare for the next move.Check to make sure everything is relaxed,and your fingers are in position waiting for next note.
If everything goes well,increase metronome speed on 80,and repeat.Then do it again for 100 and 120 at 4 clicks per note.
Then continue above procedure but with 2 clicks at 60,80,100 and 120.
Then same as above but 1 click per note.
Continue with 4 notes per click.At some point, it will be easy to do the passage with the correct rhythm instead of even note values.
This method will enable you to avoid the common situation of trying to play something too fast,too soon.

Artist Profile:
Canadian born Czech based artist Leigh Anthony Dehaney’s background is a mixture of fine arts and technology. After graduating from Mount Royal College, Canada with an Arts and Science Diploma Dehaney obtained his Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Calgary. In 2003 he was accepted into the Alberta College of Art + Design where he was drawn towards Media Arts & Digital Technologies. Best known for his visual work, Dehaney’s influences often include Soviet constructivist architecture, industrial ruins, painted dumpsters, vintage technology, retro futurism, apocalyptic titanism, weimar bauhaus, new objectivity, things machiavellian, and mechanical systems. Dehaney’s personal practice/gallery work often depicts portraiture within a derelict and contaminated world, much of which has been largely influenced by unmarked visits to industrial Cuba and Eastern Germany. His visual artwork and experimental videos have been exhibited and featured both locally and internationally, most notably with CBC’s Arts Review (Canada), Gabrichidze Gallery (Brussels), Shufflesome (Germany), Jones Soda Co. (USA), and Fotofest (USA). Professionally Dehaney consults as a film+televison “graphics dude” through his company Dravenfield Ltd. founded in 2004. Currently he spends his free time documenting industrial/urban environments in Eastern Europe and is working on his next experimental short flick and photo series “Tenement+IV”, which he hopes to have completed by May 2009.

Metronome @ Union Square

Artist Statement from metronome.related.com/statement.htm :
Metronome is an investigation into the nature of time. This composite work intends to evoke contemplation on the dynamic flux of the city. Metronome is meant to be integral to the very history, architectural fabric, spirit and vitality of the city. Ultimately, the work is an ode to mortality and the impossibility of knowing time.
How To Read It:
The 15 numbers of the digital clock display time going and coming relative to midnight. Read time going left to right and time coming in the opposite direction. So, if the clock reads 070437000235616 it means that it is 7:43 A.M. (7 hours and 43 minutes since midnight) and that there are 16 hours, 56 minutes and 23 seconds remaining until midnight. The three numbers in between are a blur of moving numbers.
