Can Never Have Enough Of Chicago

Ah, Chicago, one of the best places on earth.

The ‘Duck-Range-Quotient’ :)

Ha, some folks would start a description of this with “I’m not sure what possessed me to do this” but I have no intention of doing so! I know EXACTLY what possessed me to do this: Catharsis. I needed to do a little house-cleaning of the mind. I believed maybe I could do it in such an organized fashion, that documenting the process might be helpful to others. As I chart what I’ve learned about Max/MSP and creating custom tools in various audio environments, I also thought it could help me to learn still more. By creating tutorials for Max/MSP in 3 parts: “Sampling”, “Sequencing”, and “Interfacing”, I’m hoping to end up charting the path I’d like to take to learn SuperCollider. I’m almost done with the first part, “Sampling”… here is a little peek at my digital lunacy:

Wooooot! I was hacked. It was an honor.

I was recently hacked by this crew:

Actually, not that awesome, because hacking wordpress sites, particularly ones like this one which generate next to no traffic, is a bit like taking candy from a baby. That baby being me! But I must say, knowing how little attention my site gets, I feel honored! Thank you for paying attention Draxiax crew!

These smart folks are based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. And I just want to say, it makes me proud. My fellow Hindi-speaking brothers have acquired quite a bit of esoteric knowledge which, after witnessing the wasteful meaningless frivolity of most of the web-developing yuppies here in the SanFrancisco Bay Area, makes me feel like the proper checks and balances are instituted in the world. It took me about 4 hours to restore my site and learn about creating special hidden files to safeguard my site, it wasn’t a big deal, just an annoyance at first. But after going through all of it, I feel strangely thankful. This information I learned is not important, nor fun, nor exciting, but why should I be on the web if I don’t know how to use it or protect myself from it? That is the important lesson I learned. Thanks Draxiax Crew!

Lights 2 PDX

Been awhile since I played Portland back during the 1st MonomeTour. It was obvious back then, as it is now, the folks there know how to represent. Sublime spirits, PDXers. Looking forward to it.

Props To Chicago and Part Time Suckers

Chicago was a blueshift nearer to the heart. Our gracious hosts at TransAmoeba allowed Renegade Lights to magnify the brilliance of all who attended and performed long after dawn. With food provided by Edible Alchemy and an overwhelmingly immersive sound system provided by Catalyst Sound, it was a night to ring beautifully in the ears forever. Of Catalyst Sound and Part Time Suckers fame, Ryan Searchl1te hosts a weekly radio show, Part Time Sucker Radio, featuring both fresh and veteran electronic musical talent on Chicago’s WNUR. Some of our Renegades made an appearance and I’m honored to present the audio hear:
