Minds of the Music Biz: Ted Cohen
Music Industry Newswire31 Aug 2010 | 6:53 pmMusic Industry Newswire COLUMN: Ted Cohen is considered a visionary in music and technology, and I agree.

He got started in computing in 1979 with an Atari 800 (“8K of memory tricked out to 48K”) and has embraced technological advancements ever since. He was in Artist Development at Warner Bros. Records in the late ’70s and early ’80s, working with Prince, the Pretenders, Talking Heads, Fleetwood Mac, the Ramones,… -

He will be performing Friday at the Spectacle loft as part of Non-Event. -

Alvari Lume – Ennen
24 Aug 2010 | 9:46 amComencemos esta nueva semana con algo corto, uno de los eps de Audio Gourmet, para esas pequeñas esperas, para esos momentos de transición en el día o para el final de la jornada cuando ya queremos dormir pero no resistimos escuchar una última cosa. La guitarra es el cimiento sobre el cual Alvari Lume construye estas tres piezas cercanas a la escucha reducida o el principio acusmático. Revolotean arpegios, golpesillos, requintos, caricias y desgarros en las cuerdas. Las reverberaciones y los cambios de fase le siguen el juego sin manipulación posterior a la grabación. Para mi no… -

17 Aug 2010 | 11:36 amUna vez mas nos encontramos frente a un hombre banda, me parece que hay muchos hoy en día, habla quizá un poco mal de las bandas de varios integrantes pues muchos terminan tocando consigo mismos para poder desarrollar sus propuestas, en este caso es André Joaquim quien a partir de una muestra sonora especifica desarrolla temas musicales al estilo rock épico; un tanto crudo, en su austeridad lleva el carácter. Queda muy bien con estos tiempos en donde nuevos diluvios nos arrastran. La ilustración de portada es de Gustav Doré famoso por sus representaciones de la Divina Comedia, Don…

Top 5 Antiques Roadshow jackpots

The items most commonly carried on to the set include Bibles, paintings and china tea cups and are usually worth an average of $100, but every once in a while the show’s appraisers get a real thrill. A sampling of the top five: 18th Century Chinese Qianlong Period jade collection. Valued at $710,000 to $1,070,000 Oil painting by Clyfford… -

Mobile robots are equipped with wheels, a computer monitor (for seeing someone's face), and a computer camera. Now folks can roam the building and attend meetings while sitting at desks miles away from HQ. Out-of-sight-out-of-mind telecommuters are so 2009. Stay on top of the latest in Tech.

NASA announces mission to the sun
5 Sep 2010 | 3:52 pmMissions to Mars are so 2009, and space junkies can finally wipe away the tears shed over the grounding of the shuttle; we’re going to the Sun, baby! That’s right, NASA announced a trip to the sun to be completed by 2018 as part of the Solar Probe Plus mission. The unmanned craft will only be able to get within four million miles of its goal. Temperatures will still reach 2550 degrees Fahrenheit combined with “intense radiation.” Even at that distance, though, it should be close enough to study why the Sun’s atmosphere is hotter than the surface as well as the…
