Meet the Man Recreating Ancient Musical Instruments...

April 5, 2021

In a small, sparse workshop in Chennai, Tharun Sekar spends hours building and perfecting the yazh. A distant cousin of the harp, the 2,000-year-old instrument was once a mainstay in royal courts, and produced “the sweetest sound.” Then, it disappeared, preserved only in historical texts—until now. The yazh is one of a handful of lost or obscure folk instruments that Sekar, 24, has been recreating in a studio he began in 2019. It takes Sekar five to six months……

A couple of years later, when Brooks was 14, his father passed away, and it became very clear to Brooks that if he wanted “any kind of life,” he’d have to hustle. He got a job and in order……

This ocean pump is a powerful regulator of atmospheric carbon dioxide and an essential ingredient in any global climate forecast. But a new MIT study points to a significant uncertainty in the way the biological pump is represented in climate models today. Researchers found that the……

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Dallas Stars coach Rick Bowness was pulled from behind the bench after two periods of the team’s game Sunday night against the Carolina Hurricanes because of NHL COVID protocol.
