“Monochromatic Light (Afterlife)” is a composition commissioned from Tyshawn Sorey to mark the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Rothko Chapel in Houston, Texas, where 14 of Mark Rothko’s canvases, in varying shades of black, are housed in a non-denominational modernist building. Having worked with the various architects on the design of the octagonal building, Rothko died in 1970, the year before before it was completed, so he was able neither to see the finished chapel nor to hear the 25-minute piece for chorus, viola and percussion composed by the master minimalist Morton Feldman to celebrate its opening. Sorey’s piece is a homage to his predecessor, employing the same resources but three times longer, with the addition of a solo singer — the bass-baritone Davóne Tines — and a pianist doubling on celesta. It was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Music in 2023, which he won a year later for his “Adagio (for Wadada Leo Smith)”, and a few months after the Houston première it was given a staged performance, with a dance troupe and paintings by Julie Mehretu, in New York. For its London premiére, at the ancient church of St Giles’ Cripplegate, the composition was presented without those additions. Conducted from a raised seat by the composer, clad in black robes, it began with the sound of tubular bells, played by George Barton, before Ruth Gibson’s viola slid into view, the first hint of what would be a remarkable performance in which she transitioned from ardent (and sometimes paradoxically harrowing) bel canto melodies to tissue-thin harmonics and unsettling shivers of sound. Soon the pianist Siwan Rhys was adding punctuation, sometimes deploying the brighter, more urgent sound of the celesta, while Barton moved between an array of tympani, a vibraphone, a gong and a gran cassa, carefully underlining or italicising what was going on elsewhere with looming rolls or soft strikes. Already it had become apparent that this was music with a rare sense of space (Feldman’s influence there, of course), a gift to an audience prepared to sit and wait for the composition to assume its overall shape and to take hold. For such listeners, an apparently austere methodology could not disguise the warmth beneath the contemplative surface. A quarter of an hour had gone, I think, before the entry of the choir.

The KTM 790 Duke, which KTM refers to as the “Scalpel,” returns for 2027 with upgrades to its chassis, electronics, styling, and ergonomics. The 790 Duke was introduced in 2017 but was replaced with the 890 Duke in 2021. In 2023, the 790 Duke returned, featuring its 799cc LC8c parallel-Twin, WP suspension with minimal adjustment options, J.Juan brakes, and 4-inch TFT display, from which riders could access ride modes and lean-sensitive ABS and traction-control settings. In 2025, it was updated with minor changes to its instrumentation, handlebar switches, and headlight cowl. 2027 KTM 790 Duke in orange The 2027 update is more significant, primarily in the chassis. The WP Apex suspension now features more adjustability, with the 43mm inverted fork with split function now getting 5-position clickers for compression damping (left) and rebound damping (right). The WP Apex rear shock offers 5-click rebound adjustability and manual preload adjustment, as well as increased travel. A WP steering damper is also standard. New WP brakes were designed in-house, and they include dual 300mm front discs paired with 4-piston radial calipers and a 240mm rear disc with a 1-piston caliper, and the rear brake lever has been repositioned to offer better accessibility. The chromium molybdenum tubular steel frame returns, but the subframe is new, featuring a cast-aluminum design that incorporates the airbox and side air intakes. The cast-aluminum end cap is powdercoated. The LC8c engine returns unchanged, but it’s now paired with a new muffler. The muffler cover has been removed, and the construction eliminates visible welds by using a rolled construction. The only weld seam is located on the lower inner side and is hidden from view. A new cast-aluminum end cap has been added to cover the end-cap weld seam. A new heel guard on the passenger footpegs adds heat protection. The bike also features a new headlight design, taking cues from the 990 Duke and 1390 Super Duke R Evo. It’s made from a lightweight, glass-fiber-reinforced plastic and features the position and daytime running lights on the out edge and a centrally located low beam. The menu structure of the 5-inch TFT display has been redesigned to offer faster access to features in fewer clicks. The TFT display has been redesigned to be more user-friendly. The bodywork has been updated to provide more rider comfort by removing pressure points. The front fairing is now… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 weeks ago - 2026 Indian Sport Scout RT Review
The 2026 Indian Sport Scout RT is new club-style cruiser that adds hard saddlebags to the Sport Scout. (Photos by Kevin Wing) When Indian revamped its popular Scout platform for 2025, it rolled out five new/updated models: 101 Scout, Scout Bobber, Scout Classic, Sport Scout, and Super Scout. Of these, only the Super Scout came with road-trip-ready saddlebags and a windshield. For 2026, Indian added a sixth model to the lineup, the Sport Scout RT, which adds a pair of hard saddlebags to the Sport Scout. The popularity of baggers isn’t likely to diminish anytime soon, so adding another saddlebag-equipped model to Indian’s top-selling Scout platform makes sense. Like the Sport Chief RT that debuted last year, the Sport Scout RT is a club-style cruiser that has a 19-inch front wheel, 5.5-inch moto-style bar risers, a sport-style solo seat, compact saddlebags, and a quarter fairing with a small windscreen. The Indian Sport Scout RT’s saddlebags look sharp but they don’t offer much storage capacity. What’s in a Name? The “RT” in the name implies “Road Tourer,” but in reality, the Sport Scout RT is better suited to short hops. Its top-loading, lockable saddlebags hold only 5 gallons each. At most we were able to cram a jacket and a pair of gloves into one of the bags. If you’re a toothbrush-and-a-credit-card kind of traveler, then the RT may be just the bike for you. The Sport Scout RT’s hard saddlebags are top loaders that have a hinge in front and a locking clasp at the rear. The form-fitting bags are shaped to wrap tightly around the rear of the bike. Comfort is another important consideration when laying down the miles. The RT’s bikini fairing deflects some wind, but it’s more about looks than true weather protection. And the bike’s compact dimensions, clamshell seating position, limited rear suspension travel, and 3.4-gallon tank do not lend themselves to long-hauling. Unless you dig into Indian’s accessory catalog, your significant other will need to stay at home. Despite its short wheelbase, the Indian Sport Scout RT has a long and low profile. Its seat height is just 25.7 inches.
