Laurie Spiegel - Passage

From the Album: Unseen Worlds (1991)
Laurie Spiegel was born in Chicago (September 20, 1945) where in her teens she played guitar, banjo, and mandolin, and through them cultivated a devout philosophy of amateur music making. After receiving a degree in the social sciences, she returned to music. Having taught herself notation, she studied classic guitar and composition privately in London, then baroque and renaissance lute at Julliard, and composition with Jacob Druckman and Vincent Persichetti. Having worked with analogue synthesizers since 1969, she sought out the greater compositional control which digital computers could provide and wrote interactive compositional software at Bell Labs from 1973-79. She later founded New York University's Computer Music Studio and became famous in rock music circles for her music software for personal computers, especially MusicMouse.

Gene Clark - No Other (Version Two)

Taken from the 4AD reissue of Gene Clark’s No Other

Roland Kayn -Rhenit

"Tektra (1980-82) is a cybernetic project, an electro-acoustic composition... The word Tektra, like the music, was derived from a series of processes which Kayn applied to the alphabet. It is a synthetic word, the total of the first letters of the separate parts..."

From 10 CD box set "Scanning"

Good Morning

My Spirit Will Be At Work LOL

Friday Furrows

Well, there I was just a minute ago thinking I should actually write something now before the witching hour. It's been one of those days in which I did a couple of surveys in Sittingbourne. I have just finished the reports. Most of this evening I've actually been reading or listening to music. At the moment I'm listening to Don Rendell and Ian Care from their great jazz albums of the 60s. British contemporary jazz in the sixties had a very unique flavour and sometimes a pastoral flavour such as "Blue Mosque" and yet still modal.

Dinner was a very tasty beef madras curry with a garlic naan bread to soak all the juices up.

Okay, back to the music as there is not much else to report.

Would You .....

Would you rather be able to eat anything and any quantity of food with no negative health effects, or be refreshed and well-rested after only three hours of sleep?

Would you rather have a prestigious private college named after you or win a Pulitzer Prize?

If you could only have one, would you rather have clean socks or clean underwear?
