I was pleased to learn today that Raymond Scott’s son is producing a documentary film about his father. Here’s the trailer:

I’m happy to say that Audio Damage contributed to the funding of this project as soon as we learned of it.
If you’re thinking “who’s Raymond Scott?” that’s exactly why it’s important that this film is [...]

I’ve been meaning to track this video down for awhile; thanks go to Ann Blake for sending it to Tracie. It’s of a speech given by a neuroscientist named Jill Bolte Taylor. Ms. Taylor suffered a stroke in the left hemisphere of her brain and, as a result, achieved unusual insight into the operation of [...]

We just saw The Happening, the new film by M. Night Shyamalan. Let me state up front that I really like his previous movies. The excellence of The Sixth Sense goes without saying but I loved Signs and The Village also and certainly enjoyed Unbreakable and Lady in the Water. Hence it pains me to [...]

One of the best things about music videos in the 80s (and probably other decades, but the 80s was when I was paying attention to music videos) was that some of them made no sense whatsoever. To wit:

Not long ago Chris posted a photo on his blog of his current workspace, which generated some amount of interest and a thread of comments about why people find it interesting to look at other people’s gear and stuff.

Here’s a nice example of the woeful state of affairs that the spammers of the world have created for us. Last night, Tracie’s email to her aunt started bouncing. Her aunt uses MSN Live Hotmail Whatever. The error message says that Tracie’s email is being rejected because either my domain has been blocked, or my [...]

It’s One Of Those Days, it seems. Nothing actually disastrous has happened, just stuff like having to go to the hardware store to exchange something that didn’t fit after the first trip and then going again to get something forgotten during the second trip–all on a day on which I’d planned to work and not [...]

I’m sort of rethinking and reorganizing bits of my studio, and I’ve decided that I no longer need my Expressionist MIDI/CV converter. I’ve never really used the LFOs and stuff in it, and I recently purchased an Omega8 poly analog synth, so the Expressionist is more or less overkill for how I use my modular [...]

Here’s a nifty video of someone messing with blobs of water in the microgravity of the ISS:

I was quite pleased to stumble across this video. I’ve always thought that if I were given the opportunity to float around in a zero-gravity environment, one of the things I’d want to do is play with blobs [...]
