Roland Space Echo

I met my true love at a noise show last weekend.

I love you Roland RE-201.

Joseph Beuys sings New Wave Pop. Seriously.

Joseph Beuys sings New Wave Pop. About Reagan. Seriously. I love it.

Radical Marching Bands Documentary

I love love love the idea of radical marching bands. Who knew there was a movement?

Well there is and there is a documentary about it.

Marching For Change

Rip Max Mathews (1926 - 2011)

The father of computer music. He had a good run.

Interview.

Jesu, Joy Of Man’s Desiring

I don't care that this is a cell phone promotion. It is still beautiful.

Opensound

---

Opensound is a monthly concert series that explores improvised music, bringing artists from disparate backgrounds together for unique events in Somerville, Massachusetts. I went for the first time last night and I will be back.

Expressive Machines Musical Instruments

I am going to see this robot band play in Somerville tonight. They were built by three PHD students in electronic music, including my friend Steve Kemper. Check them out, coming to your town soon!

Sun Ra Lectures

In early 1971 Sun Ra was artist-in-residence at University of California, Berkeley, teaching a course called "The Black Man In the Cosmos". One half-hour of each class was devoted to a lecture (complete with handouts and homework assignments), the other half-hour to an Arkestra performance or Sun Ra keyboard solo. I think you should listen here on Ubuweb.


The John Cage Sun Ra duets are also worth a listen.
