The new project – writing samples
I’m in Montana this week exploring the wilds of Glacier National Park, so I’m hoping this posts automagically appears on Wednesday morning. It’s related to my post from last week about my new full length project, and some of the source material. Last week I showed some really rough audio sketches I’d done for some … Continue reading
Style, black boxes, and a new project
“The most important thing in life is style. That is the style of one’s existence the characteristic mode of one’s actions is basically ultimately what matters. For if man defines himself by doing then style is doubly definitive because style describes the doing. The point is this happiness is a learned condition. And since it … Continue reading
Bursts: Transmission 1
Like many of the other doctors here, I’ve been a bit busy lately. Unfortunately, the things I’ve been working on are not quite ready to be unveiled. So I will give you a little taste, some more snippets. 1. Vapid vapid_slow The winner from last week’s poll. Still working on this one, though it has … Continue reading
(With Apologies) Another Selection from the Vault

Audience Participation Part Duex
It’s that time again. I have so many unfinished songs that I like having a filter for them at times. That’s where you come in. This time there are four tracks (five was one too many). They’re a bit similar in style and tone but each with a quirk or two. I’ll elaborate on them … Continue reading

All artists employing this distribution mechanism exist within this new media, and its accompanying new set of boundaries. What does this mean? There’s no … Continue reading

A sample of Michael Hedges’ music
Wha’s up? This is Bruno…er pimpl0r, guest posting on this crazy site. My boy, G-money (Dr. Novachord) asked me if I was interested in contributing as a guest poster on one of the off-days. Since my main creative interest is playing guitar, I’m going to share one of my biggest inspirations and influences in my … Continue reading
Number 4 – The City
For this one I wanted to write a middle of the road torch song – folksy, yet kind of U2-like. The problem with that is that those types of songs tend to be fairly repetitive, so I had to experiment with bringing different elements in and out to differentiate the verse from the chorus. You … Continue reading
A Short Video – Suggestions Welcome
As some of you may know by now, my computers both kicked the bucket last week. First was the Powerbook that Dr. Echo Bloom gave me last year. Then the following day, the mission critical desktop bit the dust. I haven’t figured out exactly what went wrong with either machine, but I did get my … Continue reading
