I recently spent an afternoon at a colleague’s studio setting up the recent Roger Linn and Dave Smith instruments – AdrenaLinn I, AdrenaLinn II, AdrenaLinn III, Evolver and Morpho. The keyboard is a Midiman Oxygen 8; the mixer is a Midiman MicroMixer 18; and the patchbay is a Digital Music Corp. MX-28S. The [...]

Here is a song I recorded at a colleague’s studio entitled “Neurotica.”  It showcases the fabulous Resonator Neuronium designed by Jürgen Michaelis.  It all was performed live in real time (using a hardware MIDI sequencer) except the bass guitar part which I then overdubbed. The Resonator Neuronium comes in at bar 13 after the synth [...]

I (formerly) was knowledgeable about various issues involving the Uniform Commercial Code (”UCC”). I wrote the following paper – now long out-of-print – on various issues arising under Article 3 and Article 4. I post it for your delectation. You can download it as a .pdf.
Here is an abstract. In spite [...]

From my earliest days, I can remember my father telling me, “you are related to the man who killed John Wilkes Booth.” Booth, of course, shot Abraham Lincoln. The man who shot Booth – my ancestor – is Boston Corbett.

A Noisy Afternoon
 

I recently spent an afternoon with a colleague assisting with a complicated audio mix in Logic 8.  A lot of quadruple-tracked guitars going off everywhere, that sort of thing.  We decided early on that it would be necessary to establish a very strict timing reference for the beats, if the song was to cohere properly.  [...]

Ancient Greek civilization and that of the ancient Israelites are the templates for much of Western culture. Two of their patriarchs are Agamemnon and Abraham. I started to wonder what might have happened had they been friends. The first thing that occurred to me is that they both were called on to [...]

I am against the war in Iraq. Rather than set forth the reasons in a post, I decided to write a song about it, and here it is:
Fade to Black

It was a beautiful Monday morning in Los Angeles, and I was excited. I was going to work at RAND! Somehow, I had talked myself into a position there, to head up a proposed Institute for the Study of the Economics of Culture. It seemed like a great opportunity, because it would give me [...]
