The Essential Noise Art Band Phase
Digging through some old thoughts, pictures, and tetchy sound files tonight, perhaps trying to re-capture some experimental ground lost in the last few years of professional computing and Dev Team running… dug up the vital, & sadly brief, noise/art ‘band’…
Karma Planet
Having just installed Ubuntu Server on a spare PC, mostly with work “practice” in mind, my mind turns in its usual, oft-times annoying, manner towards alternate paths– that is, to roads not (but maybe could be) taken. I want a…
Letters From The Sky

Adeste Fideles
Oh, yeah, come all ye faithful reproducers of sonic phenomena. Just glanced through this article, The Death of High Fidelity while I was researching the foibles of mixing specifically for the mp3 format. I had just bounced down a few…
