Hyla, Willis, Lee in multimedia

The Globe has published several multimedia features over the past several days that I think Brainiac readers might find interesting. Ideas photo editor Susan Vermazen helped create all three of them.

The first is an audio slideshow supporting a profile -- by the Globe's still-new classical music critic, Jeremy Eichler of the Boston-based avant-garde rock/classical composer Lee Hyla. Great photos, supplied by Hyla, of his rock years in the 1970s.

The second is a video in which the great cinematographer Gordon Willis (the "Godfather" movies, Woody Allen's "Manhattan," etc.) talks about some of the best scenes he's shot. The interview was conducted by Mark Feeney, and Mark also provided the complete transcript.

And here's a sneak preview of an audio slideshow that won't be officially published till Sunday. In it, the legendary set designer Eugene Lee ("Saturday Night Live," "Sweeney Todd," "Wicked") discusses some of his all-time favorite sets.
