The site has a new look, and several added features. It also cleans us several annoyances like the awkwardness of attaching images to posts, like so (now trivial...click the little tree in the post editor):

Enjoy!

Just wanted to let you all know that I'm playing at the Big Red Barn tomorrow night at 8pm if anyone wants to come out. I'm opening for a touring band called Castanets, and while most of my stuff is acoustic (and some with a loop pedal), Castanets plays country music heavily tempered with noise and sound constructions. Should be pretty cool. It's being put on by Fanclub Collective.

Hope to see you there!

A full description of Project One (Due 10/2) is now online.  I welcome your questions and am available for discussion of your creative ideas.

For first project examples from previous semesters visit the audio section and listen to Nathan Ward's "Alone" or Noah Sturken's "Waiting" or Beck Sopchak's setting of D.H. Lawrence (attached).

Please join me tomorrow May 3rd in Lincoln B20 at 12:30pm for this year's final Midday Music concert featuring works by Terry Riley and Cornell composers David Weaver, Spencer Topel, Nathan Ward, DAMAGE (Dave And Misha's Audio Generation Ensemble), and myself.  Performers include, among many others, Cornell's own John Haines-Eitzen on cello, guitarist Kenneth Meyer from Syracuse, and even YOU for one of the pieces!

I look forward to seeing you there.

After years of oppression by a close-minded programming board, this year dance music strikes back majestically.

This is a celebration of youth and absurdity, of life and love. Slope Day has become a commercial shitshow and a disappointment to everyone, an excuse to get drunk, but without a good party for which to drink.

If you're fed up with mainstream no-names, crowd pleasers, and depressing emo confessions THIS IS NOT SLOPEDAY.

If you believe dancing is a fundamental expression of love, life, and the human spirit, THIS IS NOT SLOPEDAY.

If you just want to get crazy to sexy, summery, red-hot house, techno, and trance in the open air from multiple DJs who love every minute of what they do THIS IS NOT SLOPEDAY. Dance for the future, dance for love, dance for life, dance for a better world.

$3 cups or BYOB.

The revolution begins at 2 pm and goes until after sunrise.

I will be playing probably 6-8 hours of the time sets ranging from progressive house to tribal house to classic deep progressive trance to minimal techno...

Andrew Garcia from IC will probably play a similar amount of time, mostly epic trance and tech trance

We will also have some guest DJs playing in between sets.

I encourage you to come and hear things you never imagined existed

Both events are free and open to the public.

Hey,

So I finally got around to recording a promo on my new DJ setup.  This is the result.

This mix is deep and progressive, with some old school vibes. I think it might appeal to a range of audiences because there's a little something for everyone.

Begins with some ambient and breaks, then goes right into deep house and some progressive house, moving into some downright oldschool tech house and finishing on a  with some progressive electro in a major key

I'll be testing this too but wanted others to have a look now that I have found it.  JACK for windows (including the preferred GUI...better than the OSX version) seems to be online, compiled and ready to use:

This version seems to have some significant improvements on OSX as well.  I'll be testing with a potential "upgrade" in mind.
