I love that Thom and Nigel continue to experiment in this space, and having been previously unfamiliar with Bundle I was pleasantly surprised to see that several of my favorite art…

Elsewhere in the comments someone claims to have found his Facebook profile, and perhaps they did. But as a counterpoint, my hometown of Glendale (Northeast LA-adjacent) has the la…

Just yesterday I was investigating music/production startups, and one of the few ideas I came across that seemed halfway-interesting was Splice[0]. On the producer side they have p…

I love Mutable Instruments so very much. And somehow I'd missed the SP LXR, thanks for the link.

I sort of agree. On one hand, if you have no use for CV i/o aleph is basically a non-starter. Additionally, there are other CV solutions e.g. Expert Sleepers or the Kenton MIDI > C…

The Soundplane from Madrona Labs[0] certainly merits a mention here. Pairs exceptionally well with their software synths Kaivo (physical modeling and granular synthesis) and Aalto …

Apparently they've had similar issues on Mixcloud: https://twitter.com/J0EKAY/status/484097294598275072 And even if hip hop/trap/neo-soul/etc aren't your style, if you're into any …

It's been really interesting over the last 24 hours or so to watch the reaction from Joe Kay[0], whose label/collective Soulection[1] has shared hundreds of hours of mixes and doze…

I submitted a two point critique via the Uservoice widget, one was merely a UI issue, another I feel might be worthy of a wider discussion. I was excited to see this posted, and ho…

"The ruling confirms the need to bring today's data protection rules from the 'digital stone age' into today's modern computing world where data is no longer stored on 'a server', …

shitty.enterprises butt.construction wank.academy bum.careers So this might be my new favorite website. (also, Andrew WK oughtta register party.institute)

OP: Did your analysis of MF DOOM include his work alongside Madlib as Madvillian or his various other pseudonyms (King Geedorah, Viktor Vaughn, etc.)? I find it a little hard to be…

This turned out to be a bit more credible than I expected, though I'm surprised to see Shure rated higher than Grado. Moepstar is right, Beyerdynamics should absolutely be on the l…

I'd like to hear more about this, any links you can recommend?

W. David Marx has been doing wonderful analysis of Japan and this phenomenon of trend adoption/synthesis/evolution—specifically with regard to fashion but he's covered many other t…

Miles looked down the business end of a trumpet, and I'm an idiot.

This isn't exactly a revolutionary concept. Onyx Ashanti[0][1][2] has built an entire performance around it (literally, the the whole system is custom built). And on a sort of para…

This episode of Frontline[0] from January aired for the first time (I think, DVR marked it as new) on KQED in the Bay Area this week. It profiles several defectors, as well as the …

I don't know about 'discounting' but John wasn't composed until well after virtually anyone who might have encountered Jesus personally was already dead, near the end of the first …

It occurs to me that x -sharing startups in the mold of Airbnb/Uber may be most likely to overcome their regulatory challenges not through litigation or lobbying, but simply due to…

If that quote wasn't entirely fabricated, I suspect the officer was responding to a statement that identified Dorian as "Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin". Also, a minor ni…

Easy fix: pay for access to the DB and a few others like it, plot the movements of congresscritters, judges, DAs, et al. and publish. The brokers will be swimming in injunctions by…

"open" (Though it doesn't make no sense, and I personally find the illustration more cute than offensive, it was probably a poor choice.)
