The Tone Generation podcast on synths in jazz.

January 7, 2009

Over here.  Very interesting, includes Bernard Parmegiani playing jazz and Paul Bley playing synth.

NB- the BP link is not his own, but he also has this slow-loading, audio-laden site in French.

December 7, 2008

Sextant by Herbie Hancock is a great record!  I only bring this up because it’s available on Amazon as an MP3 download for $2.97.  Here’s the album’s page at All Music.

Spider dna music

July 2, 2007

Between the dissertation and the two small children, I haven’t been able to do ICS in a long time.
