LD (EFE) Víctor de la Rosa, Robert Silla, David Barreda y Celso García Blanco son los españoles que fueron seleccionados en una audición mundial online organizada por el conocido sitio web de intercambio de vídeos para formar esta peculiar orquesta. En ella también participan Manuel Ramos (México), Yurii Inti Bullon (México), Larissa Ferreira (Brasil), Ana Catalina Ramírez (Costa Rica), Marco Antonio Mazzini (Perú) y John Wilson González (Colombia).

Como el resto de los 3.000 músicos que se presentaron a la audición, los seleccionados tuvieron que grabar en vídeo sus respectivas interpretaciones de "Eroica", compuesta para la ocasión por el chino Tan Dun, ganador de un Óscar por la banda sonora de "Tigre y dragón" y compositor de la música de los Juegos Olímpicos de Pekín.

Tras el largo periodo de selección, en cuya última fase pudieron votar todos los internautas, el concierto tendrá lugar el próximo 15 de abril en el Carnegie Hall de Manhattan, con la participación de importantes artistas invitados.

Además, para la ocasión se han creado un montaje de vídeo y proyecciones multimedia que acompañarán a las piezas del programa, entre las que hay obras de Gabrieli, Bach, Mozart, Brahms, Villa Lobos y John Cage, y se contará con la participación del compositor y DJ Mason Bates, el violonchelista Joshua Roman y el pianista Yuja Wang.

Casi todos los intérpretes están ya en Nueva York para participar en una conferencia de música clásica que culminará el miércoles en el Carnegie Hall, donde serán dirigidos por Michael Tilson Thomas.

"Este proyecto nos ha dado la oportunidad de ver las habilidades, vidas y pasiones de miles de músicos de todo el mundo. Ahora estamos deseando conocerlos en persona para interpretar una ecléctica suma de piezas y celebrar así la variedad de músicas que compartimos", aseguró recientemente el director de orquesta en un comunicado.

La convocatoria para formar parte de la orquesta, que tuvo doce millones de visitas en 200 países, estaba abierta a profesionales y aficionados para potenciar la música clásica. Los vídeos enviados por los candidatos fueron estudiados por un jurado formado por expertos de la Sinfónica de Londres y de las orquestas de Berlín, Hong Kong, Sydney, San Francisco y Nueva York.

Gracias al español Celso García Blanco, la guitarra española clásica será uno de los 25 instrumentos que se podrán escuchar el miércoles en el Carnegie y que, como no podía ser de otra forma, al día siguiente estará colgado en el famoso portal de internet.

SEGUIDA DE CERCA POR LA WII

A pesar de que Wii es la consola a la que menos tiempo dedica por sesión cada usuario y de la veteranía de Playstation 2, estas consolas son las que más tiempo abarcan en toda la audiencia de jugadores.

LD (Europa Press) Gracias a los más de 150 millones de Playstation 2 distribuidas en todo el mundo, la veterana consola de Sony consigue aún acaparar un gran porcentaje que toda la comunidad de videojugadores le dedican. La rápida ascensión de las ventas de Wii también juega en su contra.

Por su parte, las buenas ventas y el tiempo que dedica cada jugador a Xbox 360 la sitúan en el tercer puesto de este nuevo ranking elaborado por Nielsen y recogido por Vandal.net. Por su parte, Playstation 3 se sitúa en el último puesto de las consolas de nueva generación, sólo seguida por las obsoletas Xbox y Gamecube, de Microsoft y Nintendo, respectivamente.

El porcentaje de tiempo dedicado a las consolas en Estados Unidos en un minuto se divide de esta forma: 23,7 por ciento para PlayStation 2, un 20,7 por ciento para Wii, un 18,2 por ciento para Xbox 360, un 9 por ciento para PlayStation 3, un 7,9 por ciento para Xbox y un 3,3 por ciento para GameCube.

Trinity is a science fiction role-playing game published by White Wolf Game Studio in 1997 (and later by the ArtHaus imprint), first in the Trinity Universe series of games (the two others beingAberrant and Adventure!) sharing a common background and developing an alternate history of humanity through two centuries, and allowing players to play almost all genres of science fiction - from comic-book superhero action to cutting edge technothriller, space opera, and old fashioned pulp standards. Though it had a vocal fanbase the whole game line was discontinued due to low sales in 2001;^{[citation needed]} an adaptation for the d20 system was released in 2004.

[edit]Setting

Set in the twenty-second century, Trinity portrays a future Earth slowly recovering from a disastrous war (the origins of which are covered in Aberrant) and expanding in space. Former depressed areas such as Africa, South America and Eastern Asia, which suffered moderate traumas during the Aberrant War are now the leading political forces in the international arena, while Europe is a landscape of ruins and hard struggling survivors, and North America is under a fascist regime (the FSA). Bio-engineering is the leading technology and psionics are known and studied if not exactly widespread. Alien contact has been made, with mixed results. Characters take the roles of psionic individuals, working for one of the many organizations in the gaming world, and tackling troubles when they arise. The game setting, which is detailed in a number of supplements, allows for a variety of styles, from cyberpunk-like corporate espionage to Mad Max-style post-holocaust frontier adventure, to space exploration.

[edit]Orders

Players have a choice of six "Orders" for their characters to join. Orders each possess a mastery of a specific "Aptitude", a category of psionic powers. Each Order is based in a specific geographic location, often the homeland of its founder, and is heavily influenced by local culture. Actually, there are eight "Orders" in the Trinity Universe, but one only became playable after some metaplot hooks made it so, and the other has almost been exterminated by the year where the playable timeline begins.

The Æsculapian Order

Based in Europe, this Order is a global medical clinic first and foremost; its members fulfill the roles of combat medics, healers and scientists. They teach the Aptitude of vitakinesis, the usage of the mind to heal the body.

Interplanetary School for Research and Advancement "ISRA"

Based on the Moon, this Order is a quasi-monastic school of philosophy associated with the real religion the Bahá'í Faith (see popular media references). Its members learn Clairsentience and use their sensory powers to become scouts and detectives.

The Legions

Based in Australonesia, these are high tech military corps (similar to that found in Starship Troopers), using the powers of Psychokinesisto protect humanity from extrasolar threats.

Ministry of Psionic Affairs

(Also the Ministry of Noetic Affairs.) This cloak and dagger spy agency is based in China and a part of the Chinese government. Members are skilled in Telepathy and are the most secretive and mistrusted of the Orders for their abilities.

Nova Força De Nacionales (The New National Force) "Norça"

This Order takes the form of vigilante militia, based somewhere in the jungles of South America. They wield the powers of Biokinesis, and possess complete biological mastery over their physical forms. They are as widely, if not more, distrusted than the Ministry.

Orgotek

A multinational technology corporation headquartered in North America, its members are all employees in some fashion or another. They can control the electromagnetic spectrum with the Electrokinesis Aptitude. They often take the role of technical experts & engineers.

Upeo wa Macho

The Upeo are an African trade organization with the Teleportation Aptitude. Although they had been missing for six years as of the core rules, they have since returned, although their absence has not altogether been explained to the public. With their return, regular contact with extrasolar colonies is being re-established.

Chitra Bhanu

The Chibs are an Indian physics laboratory with the ability to manipulate the nuclear forces of the universe (Quantakinesis). They were exterminated because the other psi orders claimed that they had an alliance with the monstrous Aberrants, although there have been rumors of survivors either hiding on their own, or working secretly for other orders. The Chitra Bhanu are an unplayable order.

[edit]System

The game runs on a slightly modified version of the White Wolf "Storyteller System". A reprint was announced in late 2003 of the three Trinity Universe games using the Open Gaming License 3.5 rules.

[edit]Naming issue

Trinity was originally to be known as Aeon (thus leading to all three games in the line having titles starting with an A), and was originally issued under that title in its hardback and deluxe versions. Legal issues arose with the holders of the rights for the animated series Æon Flux, which claimed the game challenged their copyrights.^{[citation needed]} The matter was settled by White Wolf choosing to change the name of its game, and leaving "Aeon" as the unofficial name for the whole line. Early copies of the game had a sticker with the new Trinity logo covering the original Aeon logo.
