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 artists/labels have released material via this channel in

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 largest population of Armenians anywhere in the Western Hemisp

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 plugins for a few DAWs that enable easier collaboration

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 > CV boxes that get the job done a lot cheaper. As you

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 (the closest thing to a Buchla in VST form). I kind of assum

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 ele

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 dozens of original tracks and remixes on Soundcloud[2]

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 hoped it would be what I had been looking for. My friends and

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 believe he's not at least in the Wu Tang/Canibus&#x2

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 list, and given the success of the TMA-1 Aiaiai should b

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 parallel track, nerds like Herrmutt Lobby and DZA have done

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 editor of Asia Press[1] and is certainly worth an hour of yo

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 nitpick: Temple City is part of a community tha

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 the end of the week.

Good stuff, thanks for sharing it. Having said that, I can't help but get nitpicky about a few things (I hope you take this as constructive criticism). Filling in the blanks: Jackhigh is from the UK, Odd Nosdam is from the midwest but

Indeed. The minor change for me has been that the slightly annoying question I'm most likely to be asked on any given day has transitioned from "What's that?" to "Oh, you're one of those people?"—which i

How are you curating these images? Which is to say, how are you ensuring that I see a really great photo of the Azure Window[0] (which happened to be posted two weeks ago) rather than whichever random one Ig turns up first? I had a semi-sim
