Max Roach
I just found out that one of my idols Max Roach has died. Say "M-Boom" to Vonnegut for me!
Having been a MarsEdit user since before its Red-Sweater-ization, of course I just bought me an upgrade for that there brand spankin' new MarsEdit 2.0. It's awesome, as expected.
Daniel Rocks.
Carry on, punkass.
Do you:
Hang out with nerds?
Make sound with something you have to plug into a wall?
Like bars that have LCD screens embedded in the furniture?
Then come out to Bar Mundial on Sunday at 9 PM to experience the
premiere performance of Jonathan and Amelia's Robot Laptop Band!
We'll be performing a featured set at SHARE (http://share.dj), which is a weekly
audio/visual laptop jam in the East Village. We'll be showing off the
bugs in our current "work in progress," and making troublesome noise
and visuals to open the evening's jam session this Sunday, February
12, 2004.
You'll be sure to find us drinking and joining the jam session after
the set. If you make noise or video, bring your axe and plug in. A
projector, a mixer, and amplification are provided; BYOC (Bring your
own cable). It's really fun and informal and nobody minds if your
computer crashes, if your Max patch explodes, or if your delay pedal
goes haywire. In fact, most of us like it when that happens.
No cover!
About us:
We're a couple of self-professed computer nerds / artists who make
noise and images with computers. Using technologies like OpenGL,
superCollider, C++, Python, Open Sound Control and The Macallan Single
Malt Highland Scotch Whisky, we create interactive real-time audio /
visual performances.

oops.
I somewhat impulsively deleted my myspace.com profile a couple of days ago in an effort to prod myself into putting some "real" blog software on my new server/media center/mac mini/ does-everything-except-make-toast (so far) computer. So here it is, folks! I'll be archiving some of the old posts from myspace here and generally using this space to let google index my brain, so-to-speak. If you're somebody I know "in real life" or if you just want to say "HI," drop me a line here.
