Storm Thorgerson / Taken by Storm : the art of Storm Thorgerson and StormStudios

Babylon Arts:

Exhibition will feature work by the much-celebrated Storm Thorgerson and StormStudios. ‘This man designed half your record collection’.

Although many will not know Storm by name, his iconic designs appear on the album covers of some of the world’s most famous bands.

We first hosted an exhibition of some of his best known photographs in 2009. Storm had a special connection to Cambridgeshire – it was his stomping ground. He attended both primary and high schools in Cambridge (Brunswick Primary School and the Cambridgeshire High School for Boys), and would often hang out in Ely with his friends.”

This exhibition at the Babylon Gallery is set to feature a range of Storm’s work created throughout his 30 year career with Storm Studios. The exhibition will also feature the cover from Biffy Clyro, Opposite, which was the last album sleeve conceived by Storm, and poignantly was photographed on the day he died in 2013. Music fans will be able to buy limited edition prints books, and other work created by this immensely talented designer

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through
audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio
while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using
a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Tyre (Arabic: صور‎ Ṣūr; Phoenician: ????????‬ Ṣūr; Syriac-Aramaic: ܣܘܪ, Hebrew: צוֹר‬ Tzór; Greek: Τύρος Týros; Latin: Tyrus; Armenian: Տիր Tir; French: Tyr), sometimes romanized as Sour, is a district capital in the South Governorate of Lebanon. There were approximately 117,000 inhabitants in 2003. However, the government of Lebanon has released only rough estimates of population numbers since 1932, so an accurate statistical accounting is not possible. Tyre juts out from the coast of the Mediterranean and is located about 80 km (50 mi) south of Beirut. The name of the city means rock after the rocky formation on which the town was originally built. The adjective for Tyre is Tyrian, and the inhabitants are Tyrians.
Tyre is an ancient Phoenician city and the legendary birthplace of Europa and Dido (Elissa). Today it is the fourth largest city in Lebanon after Beirut, Tripoli and Sidon. and houses one of the nation's major ports. Tourism is a major industry. The city has a number of ancient sites, including its Roman Hippodrome, which was added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1979.
