I’ve been meaning to make a s3quence mix that had stuff from #RPM2011, but I was waiting until I had a chance to listen to more of the stuff that came out of it.  Then the earthquake/tsunami in Japan happened.  Looking at these pictures is mind-blowing, as is the constant threat of nuclear radiation for […]

Hot on the heels of the new single you can get from their Bandcamp page, @HORRORFALL gives us a sweet new video to accompany it.  I still think this track is sexy. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAnSD9TrZMo]

Make a list of all the stuff you need to get done. Create deadlines for each item.* Do it.  And keep to your deadlines. I don’t know what the fucking problem is.  We aren’t in kindergarten anymore, we can take responsibility for our own work.  Constantly being interrupted by Twitter, email, phone, IM?  Turn them […]

This is an astoundingly excellent video.  And a cool song, too.

A little bit about me: I went to a University with an adjunct program that allowed students to create their own individualized majors (it’s called the Johnston Center).  You see, my interests and passions were too diverse for me to settle with one single field of study.  We didn’t have letter grades — that doesn’t […]

This song is mostly done.  I think if I get a chance before the end of the month I’m going to adjust the levels on the drum kit…

I somehow missed the hype machine for the new social browser, RockMelt.  So, when @LastPass tweeted that it worked with RockMelt, my ears perked up.  RockMelt? WTF is that? RockMelt is a new kind of browser, or so the introductory video told me, one that combines your social web with your browsing experience.  We’ve met such browsers […]

So this is the third and final part chronicling the evolution of my music.  What started out as a fascination with synthesizers largely due to the shallow(er) learning curve turned into an avid interest in electronic and computer-generated music.  Ironically, digging into the history of electronic music sent me in the opposite direction, towards more […]

What I don’t mention in this video blog (but I did on my blog on The RPM Challenge) is that I’ve also decided on a title for the album, Wasp.  You can head over there if you want the full description, I’m too lazy to repost something I’ve already written here. Also, an interesting thing […]

I’ve been a sideline fan of Linux for a long time.  My very first experience with it was buying one of those 800 page, dictionary-sized technical manuals for Linux which came with Red Hat, Slackware and Caldera.  I effectively destroyed my Windows 95 box trying to get Red Hat installed and failing. After that, I was much more cautious, […]

For anyone curious, here’s a copy of my notes (an earlier draft, I’ve added to them a bit since).

Mark started his history of music production yesterday, and I thought I would follow suit.  I’ve never documented the process.  As I warned on his blog, my history is messy and doesn’t involve fancy equipment.  In fact, to a large extent, it mostly involves the cheapest equipment available.  But I’ll get to that. It all […]
