Started as a mere musical joke for friends, The Billy’s Band trio became the brightest event on the clubbing stage in St.Petersburg (2002) and Moscow (2003). Their program perfectly combines cover versions of Tom Waits’ songs, author’s compositions, American Gothic, own life experiences, stories told by friends and urban mythology. The Billy’s Band musicians call their style Funeral Dixieland with an Infinite Happy End. Such slogan won them the fame of a cult band throughout Moscow and St.Petersburg audience.

Album: REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY
Lyrics:
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up!
Turn it up, turn it up
Hey yo! hey yo! hit me hit me now
Captain, crew, we're 'bout to fly low
Gonna hold it steady, but you never know
Read the meter, watch with the roll
Navigator pad, navigator hold
Ride in superstorm in full control
Bump with jump, bounce really funk
Just a little turbulence comin' right at front
Turn it up, turn it up, can you feel the fire burning
Turn it up, turn it up, do you feel my heart (it's beating!)
Turn it up, turn it up, can you feel desire mourning life
Turn it up, turn it up, let the fire show, don't let go
Lock and load, raise that pressure
Right to the edge, maximum and better
Pass the limitation, this is not a drill
Fell the drum bling, drumming on the still
Attention arouses high adrenaling, pumping in your veins
Warning! warning! lights go mad. your functions fail
Ain't no room for error, you gotta prevail
Don't let go!
Don't let go!
Don't let go.
No no no...
What we are, we've only one shot
S on you, you gotta beat all the odds
Situation's outta hand, situation is critical
Depending on you, depending on the miracle
No surrender those survivor soul
Gotta reach the divine, eye of the storm
Let this be your finest hour, and the lion roar
Give you more power

Electric VTOL Personal Air Vehicle by NASA
Conceptual design focusing on the ability of a redundant electric propulsion system to provide new capabilities for Vertical Takeoff and Landing aircraft. Specifically utilizing electric motor variable rpm to accomplish a low tipspeed prop-rotor (400 ft/sec tip speed at hover and 200 ft/sec at cruise) to accomplish an order of magnitude reduction in community noise for close proximity operations (30-40 db reduction). The variable rpm capability also achieves a 25% improvement in prop-rotor efficiency through operation at optimal advance ratios.

The Known Universe
The Known Universe takes viewers from the Himalayas through our atmosphere and the inky black of space to the afterglow of the Big Bang. Every star, planet, and quasar seen in the film is possible because of the world's most complete four-dimensional map of the universe, the Digital Universe Atlas that is maintained and updated by astrophysicists at the American Museum of Natural History. The new film, created by the Museum, is part of an exhibition, Visions of the Cosmos: From the Milky Ocean to an Evolving Universe, at the Rubin Museum of Art in Manhattan through May 2010.
