I while back I started a new blog.. I don't really understand any of this.. but for some strange reason I was getting, as of a couple weeks ago, an average of about 3,500 visits a day.... But then my web host decided to disable my blog script.. telling me that I was overloading there server... That's about all they said.. and that they couldn't re-enable it.. meaning I've now lost all that

This is a cool little show.. but I think Thurston Moore is more articulate and interesting then the show's host, who sometimes gets in the way of the interest... He's really fascinating.. but then I'm the sonic youth fan, aren't I?

Well.. I've been wanting to blog some more on a variety of issues... Nixon, Women, The Shadow, etc... But now my thoughts on all these subjects are so intertwined, that its hard to know how to break it up into individual blog entries... So lets see... Where might we start?Well how about we start with Bill Clinton on NPR? I always like watching him as he makes the rounds... I should mention that I

This is a show that interviews Thelma Schoonmaker who has been working as an editor with Marty Scorsese since Raging Bull...

I wanted to blog on the May 2005 issue of Mix Magazine.. The central theme of the issue is "Who Cares About Quality." See Mix Magazine is a magazine that caters to the music production industry.. in particular the folks who mix music.. sound engineers, stuff like that...

Can we understand the science of art? Is the right brain really so "irrational?"In a sense I think it comes down to metaphysics. Metaphysics, these days, is something of a lost art. I tend to view the subject of Metaphysics

I've got a bit of a hard drive problem going on, that's been going on for ages now.. I've blogged on this a good deal on my myspace blog... But to kind of recap... Months ago I had a problem with a drive partition where I was no longer able to start up from this drive partion.. as a result I lost my ability to use all my web design software along with music production software... I lost email

I haven't blogged too much lately and just thought I should... I don't know what I'm blogging on today.. so it's probably going to be a little on the random side..I need to get this thing set up with the whole RSS feed thing ha?I haven't really done too much with this day..

WZBC is a local college radio station that tends to play good deal of avant guard / underground stuff.. you can listen to live streams of there broad casts from there web site.. definitely worth checking out

Ok.. so here's the deal.. the image I used for my Joe Satriani post? Well its so wide that it makes it hard to read the links on the right hand side.. so to make things look a little more seemly..

If you got broadband and QuickTime 6 (the latter being a free download) you can check out this concert online... along with an interview with Joe, and what not...For those of you not in touch with whom Joe Satriani is... He's 'a guitar hero' which is.. a strange sort of subcultural phenominon... which has an aweful lot to do with technical musicianship and 'what we call in the bizz' "

So if you've been following this blog for any stretch of time you'd probably be aware that I've, at least, been thinking of trying to get a record deal... as a part of a larger music carrier strategy.. how this fits into the larger strategy is perhaps a little complicated... but in ether event.. it has lead me to some interesting places online....I was recently reading a prediction, from some

I recently.. just the other day.. bought a copy of the Wire.. one featuring Mike Patton... whom you might know as the vocalist from Faith No More? He's a very interesting artist, in my book.. worked with John Zorn and what not.. he's working on some new projects that are kinda like.. avant metal, I guess... very technical progressive... with the drummer from Slayer... etc... you can find

Taking a little break from working to talk about the new project.As I write to you now.. I'm setting up 'the new project.' Basically.. I've got Reason going into Cubase via Rewire.. and the whole thing is being set up for 5.1 surround sound.. Right now I'm setting up a drum so that each part of the drum kit has a different spacial location.. along with varying levels of it's signal being sent

Citizen Kane is one of my favorite movies.. it is one of the great films of all time.. I was talking, a few blog entries back... about Godard's Contempt.. comparing it to Meet the Fockers.. And I think.. in a certain way.. this radio show that talks about the work and life of Orson Welles.. kind of talks about this same kind of thing... I feel as if I should drone on about this a bit.. about

As Zappa has said about Boulez "this is one of the real guys." This is a show / interview with Boulez that aired on NPR the other day... and so I had to bring it to your attention... as he is 'one of the real guys.'

I just thought I should write down some thoughts... "whatever thoughts," the thoughts you have when you space out.. zen out.. when there is no subject to contain your thoughts.. to provide a structure to them.. normally I try to think in 'prophetic structures' or.. to put it another way... well like a mystic.. or as a mystic.. I once saw a therapist who told me I was on 'the mystics path.'

I was recently told that my blog is Interesting.. well I'm often told this by friends I am able to con into reading it.. but then also that it was complicated.. and apparently difficult to understand. "Why don't you just talk in english?" This to how I'd talk about Adam Smith, Kantian Metaphysics, Jungian Psychology, Nietzsche, Marxism, etc... The thing is.. well... In someways... its like how

There's a sort of sequal to this blog entry that I haven't posted yet.. that talks a little about the influence of the film maker Godard.... though that entry doesn't really go into the depths of it... at any rate we see an evolution of some of these ideas going on right now....I'm

It used to be that in management... a part of our aims had to do with 'the illumination of the human element,' which is related to the movement of

Ok.. well before I get going on this, you know that Buddhism features centrally in my thoughts and art and what not, right? Ok.. just checking...So I took this DVD out from the library on the Dali Lama.... where he talks about ethics and talks with these various people.. I just figured "oh cool, its the Dali Lama, wonder what he has to say today," and anyway it was free to take out.. Basically

Indra's Net is the tentative tittle for the Follow up to Viveka.. from which I have a tentative track list / order... in iTunes.. I view it as a work in progress and don't want to get to settled into thinking of it as a finished project... But even so.. I want to generate some essays for the liner notes.. and thought I'd blog reflections on the CD.First the Track List:Apolonian Regrets The Life

I want to talk about my conception of 'the next generation artist,' as it seems to me to be a worth while topic of discussion...Artist's, through out the history of "Art," have utilized the modern technology of there day in there art making.. and so it is that if we where to ask 'what should the next generation art / artist look like.. we are in a sense asking what Picasso, or Degas, or Bosh

I don't like reading so much.. so here's a link to radio show on music and technology.. from WBUR's On Point.I've blogged similar stuff in the past.. Just wanted to show I'm not the only one talking about this stuff, you know?Click listen to the show

I've brought over the sound projects that I had been working on my lap top; brought them over to my Macintosh... Loaded them into iTunes and played with making a play order out of them.. to see what I've got.. I have a new CD of about 45 minutes..Right now I'm real hyped about it. To me it sounds like.. Well like it's serious electronic music.. by which I mean.. if you where going to go listen

I'm in a rush to do other things.. but want to talk about this idea... It's been bubbling up in me for a while now...I have a reasonably huge amount of sound work around my hard drives... and only a small portion of that would seem to fit in with what I'm doing.. with the main thrust of... well trying to create a follow up project to Viveka.. which it's self isn't even out yet.. And so what I'm

It was a most mysterious CD.. a white cover, all white.. there was only a strange symbol, on both the front and back.. elegantly raised type... like of some foreign mystic language, looking like a wedding invitation, and then there was the TZASIK thing.. a black

I've talked a little bit about this on my myspace blog.. where I talked about the use of microtonalism. As this project evolves I'm finding it turning into something new... I think it's really a project about me rediscovering Reason again..What do I mean by this? Well.. Ok.. so different technologies have different vibes...

I've probably mentioned that I feel that I have enough material for a follow up CD to Viveka... But now.. the new technology in my studio.. allows me to put it all together... To see what I got, and to begin to evaluate where I want to take the rest of the project. I have a lot of ideas for what I want "the follow up to the follow up" to look like.. but I haven't yet worked out how far to take

It's balanced, and that's sorta a hard thing to find, right?When Bill Clinton was president.. Well I think I must have been in college when he got it?

I've been looking for some sort of a good article that captures some of the excitement about pod casting.. That could sort of communicate it to an uninitiated audience.. and I think this one more or less hits the spot: Wired On Pod CastingOn the other hand.. it doesn't really have much to say about the artistic / power shit possibilities of the subject...

A publicity campaign is where you try and get free press.. free publicity.. In order to do this you need to contact the press with a story that's deemed news worthy... A search for publicity is a part of a marketing campaign.. A major goal of a marketing campaign tends

I go and record my readings of it.. performances of it.. section by section.. recording over and over again, trying to get a good performance out of it.. and then when I'm done recoding performances I chose from my recordings and edit and put together something...But as clear as I can see
