*Play these sample videos simultaneously. Arduino Relatively inexpensive means of controlling an environment. Simple stuff, endless possibilities. Chuck Open source real-time audio programming language. Might only mean something to tech nerds right now but it is a new approach to writing music. In this demo below, the “music” you hear is being created [...]
I spoke on a well-attended, feisty panel about music licensing for emerging media. More on this later. Unrelated/related note: I wrote and performed a song about SXSW to open the conference at the introductory panel How To Rawk SXSW. It ended up on the PepsiCo blog. [...] Just a thought about remasters. Do the advantages of using more modern equipment outweigh the wear and tear on the tapes from going over the capstans, tape head, etc. more times? Even in storage, the tape probably decays to some degree, if nothing else from the continuing presence of the Earth’s magnetic field (though [...] “What do you think of Train?” That was the question I got from the guy at the Starbucks drive-thru on Tuesday evening, on my way to practice, of all places. He happens to know I’m in a band. I happen to know he owns some sort of recording studio. This was his way of [...] This morning, MetaFilter brought me a link to these short movies on why music matters. I went right to the Blind Willie Johnson one because I’m a fan. That led to a Google search, which brought me to this page about Johnson, which, in turn, led me to the similar pages about the Martin [...] 170 weeks later. I recently looked at Week 8 (December 2006!) and the comment thread, at least, is better than anything I can write this week. So here you go. Ultimate lazy. Week 8. I wonder why I was being so mean, not my usual style. If you’re too cool to look back [...] Yesterday I was staring at the de-esser switch on a compressor module when this thought ran through my head: the Lord’s Prayer, now there’s a thing that could use a de-esser. This is not the stupidest thing my brain has ever thought to itself. It’s not even close. If this blog post was about [...] We are experiencing time availability difficulties due to road trip activities. Tune in next week for a SXSW play by play. Recently my band has undergone some personnel changes – changes that have brought about the first genuine sense of professionalism I have maybe ever felt about a band. It’s really gotten under my skin – so much so that I have recently and with little reluctance taken on the job of the primary show [...] |

Here is a quick list of the bands I saw at SXSW (and links to videos where I mannaged to take video). I really didn’t get to see as many bands as I would have seen if I had not been there for work, but I was as always more than thrilled to have the opportunity to spend the entire week in Austin chasing down clients, drinking with said clients, watching bands and then calling it a day’s (week’s) work. Thank goodness for Twitter; I don’t think I would have otherwise remembered all these names.
