text: A composer (Latin "compn"; literally "one who puts together") is a person who creates or writes music, which can be vocal music (for a singer or choir), instrumental music (e.g., for solo piano, string quartet, wind quintet or orchestra) or music which combines both instruments and voices (e.g., opera or art song, which is a singer accompanied by a pianist). The core meaning of the term refers to individuals who have contributed to the tradition of Western classical music through creation of works expressed in written musical notation (e.g., sheet music scores).

text: A comet is an icy small Solar System body that, when passing close to the Sun, warms and begins to evolve gasses, a process called outgassing. This produces a visible atmosphere or coma, and sometimes also a tail. These phenomena are due to the effects of solar radiation and the solar wind acting upon the nucleus of the comet. Comet nuclei range from a few hundred metres to tens of kilometres across and are composed of loose collections of ice, dust, and small rocky particles. The coma may be up to 15 times the Earth's diameter, while the tail may stretch one astronomical unit. If sufficiently bright, a comet may be seen from the Earth without the aid of a telescope and may subtend an arc of 30° (60 Moons) across the sky. Comets have been observed and recorded since ancient times by many cultures.

text: The New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars (abbreviated as NGC) is a catalogue of deep-sky objects compiled by John Louis Emil Dreyer in 1888 as a new version of John Herschel's "General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars". The NGC contains 7,840 objects, known as the NGC objects. It is one of the largest comprehensive catalogues, as it includes all types of deep space objects and is not confined to, for example, galaxies. Dreyer also published two supplements to the NGC in 1895 and 1908, known as the Index Catalogues, describing a further 5,386 astronomical objects.

text: Ecology Generation ( French : Génération Écologie ) is , together with the Greens ( Les Verts ) , the Independent Ecological Movement ( Mouvement Ecologiste Indépendant ) and Citizenship , Action , Participation for the 21st Century ( CAP21 ) , one of the four `` green '' parties in France . Founded in 1990 by Brice Lalonde , Environment Minister , upon the suggestion of President François Mitterrand , it describes itself as a club with cross-party alliances of green - minded politicians and public servants . It moved away from the `` presidential majority '' in 1992 , when Brice Lalonde left the cabinet . The party , in alliance with The Greens obtained about 14 % of the vote in the French regional elections , 1992 ; but the 1993 legislative election was disappointing for the Green - GE alliance , as it failed to win any seats and won only 7 % ( other ecologist parties brought the score up to 11 % ) , when polls had given them up to 16 % . Noël Mamère was the movement 's vice-president from 1992 to 1994 , when he was excluded from the party and founded the Ecology - Solidarity Convergence , which later joined The Greens . Unlike many green parties , which are traditionally associated with the left - wing , Génération Écologie presents itself as a centre - right ecologist party , despite its early allegiance with the Socialist Party . Nicknamed ' The Blues , ' after the traditional colour of conservatism , it has been associated with the conservative UMP since 2002 , although the links between the two parties grew more tenuous after the French regional elections , 2004 . Génération Écologie has cooperated since the 2004 elections with several other movements that share its priorities . It has worked alongside various organisations , most prominently the Federalist Party , the Centre of Handicapped Democrats , and the Vanquish Unemployment Association . France Gamerre replaced Brice Lalonde as leader and she aimed to run in the French presidential election , 2007 . Like her predecessor , she failed to win the 500 endorsements . In the 2009 European Parliament election , the party ran as part of the Independent Ecological Movement which won 3.63 % of the vote .

text: The Independent Ecological Movement ("Mouvement Ecologiste Indépendant") is a political party in France founded by Antoine Waechter, former presidential candidate of The Greens in 1994. The MEI hoped to replace the Greens as the major green party, but due to the Green's electoral deals with larger parties, it failed to do so. They claim to be purely ecologist, and neither on the left or right. Waechter failed to win enough endorsements to be a candidate in the French presidential election, 1995. The party ran candidates in the 2004 regional elections and in the European Parliament election, 2004 (France) and were able to prevent the Greens from gaining more seats, such as in the Eastern EU parliamentary region where the MEI's 3% were enough to prevent the Greens from taking 2 seats there instead of one.

Presidential elections took place in France on 23 April and 7 May 1995, to elect the fifth president of the Fifth Republic.
The Socialist incumbent president, François Mitterrand, who had been in office since 1981, did not stand for a third term. He was 78, had terminal cancer, and his party had lost the 1993 legislative election in a landslide defeat. Since then, he had been "cohabiting" with a right-wing cabinet led by Prime Minister Edouard Balladur, a member of the neo-Gaullist RPR party. Balladur had promised the RPR leader, Jacques Chirac, that he would not run for the presidency, but as polls showed him doing well and he had the support of many right-wing politicians, he decided to run. The competition within the right between Balladur and Chirac was a major feature of the campaign.

text: James Maury "Jim" Henson (September 24, 1936  May 16, 1990) was an American puppeteer, artist, cartoonist, inventor, screenwriter, film director and producer who achieved international fame as the creator of the Muppets. Born in Greenville, Mississippi, and raised in Leland, Mississippi, and Hyattsville, Maryland, Henson began developing puppets while attending high school. While he was a freshman at the University of Maryland, College Park, he created "Sam and Friends", a five-minute sketch-comedy puppet show that appeared on television. After graduating from the University of Maryland with a degree in home economics, he produced coffee advertisements and developed some experimental films. Feeling the need for more creative output, Henson founded Muppets Inc. in 1958 (which would later become the Jim Henson Company).

text: The Dark Crystal is a 1982 AmericanBritish fantasy adventure film directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz and stars the voices of Stephen Garlick, Lisa Maxwell, Billie Whitelaw, and Percy Edwards. The plot revolves around Jen, an elf-like 'Gelfling' on a quest to restore balance to his alien world by returning a lost shard to a powerful but broken gem. Although marketed as a family film, it was notably darker than the creators' previous material. The animatronics used in the film were considered groundbreaking. The primary concept artist was the fantasy illustrator Brian Froud, famous for his distinctive fairy and dwarf designs. Froud also collaborated with Henson and Oz for their next project, the 1986 film "Labyrinth", which was notably more light-hearted than "The Dark Crystal".

text: Animatronics refers to the use of robotic devices to emulate a human or an animal, or bring lifelike characteristics to an otherwise inanimate object. A robot designed to be a convincing imitation of a human is more specifically labeled as an android. Modern animatronics have found widespread applications in movie special effects and theme parks and have, since their inception, been primarily used as a spectacle of amusement.

text: Vahagn Vishapakagh ( Vahagn the Dragon Reaper ) or Vahakn ( Armenian :  ) was a god of fire and war worshiped anciently and historically in Armenia . Some time during Ancient history , he formed a `` triad '' with Aramazd and Anahit . Vahagn was identified with the Greek deity Heracles . The priests of Vahévahian temple , who claimed Vahagn as their own ancestor , placed a statue of the Greek hero in their sanctuary . In the Armenian translation of the Bible , `` Heracles , worshipped at Tyr '' is renamed `` Vahagn '' . All the gods , according to the Euhemerist belief , had been living men ; Vahagn likewise , was introduced within the ranks of the Armenian kings , as a son of the Orontid Dynasty ( or Yervanduni dynasty , 6th century B.C. ) , together with his brothers -- Bab and Tiran . Historian Khorenatsi 's report of an ancient song gives a clue to his nature and origin : Ancient Armenian origin of Vahagn 's birth song In travail were heaven and earth , In travail , too , the purple sea ! The travail held in the sea the small red reed . Through the hollow of the stalk came forth smoke , Through the hollow of the stalk came forth flame , And out of the flame a youth ran ! Fiery hair had he , Ay , too , he had flaming beard , And his eyes , they were as suns ! Other parts of the song , now lost , said that Vahagn fought and conquered dragons , hence his title Vishabakagh , `` dragon reaper '' , where dragons in Armenian lore are identified as `` Vishaps '' . He was invoked as a god of courage , later identified with Heracles . He was also a sun - god , rival of Baal - shamin and Mihr . The Vahagnian song was sung to the accompaniment of the lyre by the bards of Goghten ( modern Akulis ) , long after the conversion of Armenia to Christianity . The stalk or reed , key to the situation , is an important word in Indo - European mythology , in connection with fire in its three forms . Vahagn was linked to Verethragna , the hypostasis of victory in the texts of the Avesta ; the name turned into Vahagn ( the Avestan `` th '' becoming `` h '' in Arsacid Middle Persian ) , later on to take the form of Vahagn . See  for more on the origin of the name . The Armenian princely house of Vahevunis believed to derive from Vahagn . The Vahevunis were ranked high in the Royal Register of Armenia , recorded by King Valarshak . In the pre-Christian Armenia , the Vahevunis hereditarily possessed the temple town of Ashtishat on the left bank of the Aratzani river and most likelly also held the post of the Sparapet , i.e. the Commander - in - Chief of the Royal Armenian Army .

text: Heracles ( "Hrakls", from "Hra", "Hera"), born Alcaeus ("Alkaios") or Alcides ("Alkeids"), was a divine hero in Greek mythology, the son of Zeus and Alcmene, foster son of Amphitryon and great-grandson and half-brother (as they are both sired by the god Zeus) of Perseus. He was the greatest of the Greek heroes, a paragon of masculinity, the ancestor of royal clans who claimed to be Heracleidae and a champion of the Olympian order against chthonic monsters. In Rome and the modern West, he is known as Hercules, with whom the later Roman emperors, in particular Commodus and Maximian, often identified themselves. The Romans adopted the Greek version of his life and works essentially unchanged, but added anecdotal detail of their own, some of it linking the hero with the geography of the Central Mediterranean. Details of his cult were adapted to Rome as well.

Aramazd was the chief and creator god in pre-Christian Armenian mythology. The deity and his name were derived from the Zoroastrian deity Ahura Mazda after the Median conquest of Armenia in the 6th century BCE.
Aramazd was regarded as a generous god of fertility, rain, and abundance, as well as the father of the other gods, including Anahit, Mihr, and Nane. Like Ahura Mazda, Aramazd was seen as the father of the other gods, rarely with a wife, though sometimes husband to Anahit or Spandaramet. Aramazd was the Parthian form of Ahura Mazda.

text: In Greek mythology, the Heracleidae or Heraclids were the numerous descendants of Heracles (Hercules), especially applied in a narrower sense to the descendants of Hyllus, the eldest of his four sons by Deianira (Hyllus was also sometimes thought of as Heracles' son by Melite) Other Heracleidae included Macaria, Lamos, Manto, Bianor, Tlepolemus, and Telephus. These Heraclids were a group of Dorian kings who conquered the Peloponnesian kingdoms of Mycenae, Sparta and Argos; according to the literary tradition in Greek mythology, they claimed a right to rule through their ancestor. Since Karl Otfried Müller's "Die Dorier" (1830, English translation 1839), I. ch. 3, their rise to dominance has been associated with a "Dorian invasion".

text: Anahit was the goddess of fertility and healing, wisdom and water in Armenian mythology. In early periods she was the goddess of war. By the 5th century BC she was the main deity in Armenia along with Aramazd. The Armenian goddess Anahit is related to the similar Old Persian goddess Anahita. Anahit's worship, most likely borrowed from the Iranians during the Median invasion or the early Achaemenid period, was of paramount significance in Armenia. Unlike Iranians, Armenians incorporated idol-worship into the cult of Anahit. Artaxias I erected statues of Anahit, and promulgated orders to worship them.

text: Greek mythology is the body of myths and teachings that belong to the ancient Greeks, concerning their gods and heroes, the nature of the world, and the origins and significance of their own cult and ritual practices. It was a part of the religion in ancient Greece. Modern scholars refer to and study the myths in an attempt to shed light on the religious and political institutions of Ancient Greece and its civilization, and to gain understanding of the nature of myth-making itself.

text: Armenian mythology began with ancient Indo-European and Urartian origins, gradually incorporating Mesopotamian, Iranian, and Greek ideas and deities. There are signs which indicate that the ancient Armenians were initially nature worshipers and that this faith in time was transformed to the worship of national gods, many of which originated in neighboring cultures.

text: Acid techno is a genre of techno that developed out of late 1980s Chicago acid house. Acid house was essentially house music made with a specific sound, obtained by using very distinctive instruments created mainly by Roland, such as the SH-101 and TB-303 for bass and lead sounds, and the TR-707, TR-808, and TR-909 for percussion. "Acid" specifically refers to the use of the Roland TB-303, or any other synthesizer designed to emulate its unique sound. While modern electronic instruments have memory banks of different sounds or "patches", these machines had to be manually set by adjusting control knobs. The acid sound was obtained by either setting these controls to extreme parameters, or manipulating these controls in real-time as the track was being recorded, something record producers would call "tweaking".

text: The Future Sound of London (often abbreviated to FSOL) is a British electronic music band composed of Garry Cobain (sometimes stylised as "Gaz" Cobain) and Brian Dougans. The duo are often credited with pushing the boundaries of electronic music experimentation and of pioneering a new era of dance music. Although often labelled as ambient, Cobain and Dougans usually resist being typecast into any one particular genre. Their work covers many areas of electronic music, such as ambient techno, house music, trip hop, ambient dub, acid techno. In addition to music composition, their interests have covered a number of areas including film and video, 2D and 3D computer graphics, animation in making almost all their own videos for their singles, radio broadcasting and creating their own electronic devices for sound making. They have released works under numerous aliases.

Rephlex Records was a record label started in 1991 by electronic musician Richard D. James (aka Aphex Twin) and Grant Wilson-Claridge. Rephlex coined the term "braindance" to describe the otherwise uncategorisable output of Aphex Twin and Rephlex Records. The official definition is as follows:
Braindance is the genre that encompasses the best elements of all genres,
e.g traditional, classical, electronic music, popular, modern, industrial, ambient, hip hop,
electro, house, techno, breakbeat, hardcore, ragga, garage, drum and bass, etc.
In 1989, Grant Wilson-Claridge met Aphex Twin DJing at The Bowgie, a club located just along the coast from Newquay, Cornwall. As Wilson-Claridge points out, back in 1989, "the Bowgie was the best club ever...this was before Newquay turned into the Cornish Ibiza" and it was very difficult to hear new and interesting music. Wilson-Claridge and Aphex Twin used to DJ on alternate weeks. When he noticed that Aphex Twin was playing his own tapes rather than records, Wilson-Claridge suggested that they press up some records. In the beginning, committing Aphex Twins recordings to vinyl was a way of making music the duo's friends wanted to hear. Due to their geographical dislocation they did not have access to the music they wanted to hear and so they decided to create their own. And so was born the Rephlex label.
