“my beer”

my beer

my beer

i want my beer to be good and honest, with a hint of the unknown.

i want my beer to be authentic and fresh, with an explosive finish.

i want my beer to be a flavorsome masterpiece, brewed outside the united kingdom but still within the european economic community.

i want my beer to be strong and have integrity like my father, and i want it to be kind and forgiving like my mother.

i do not want my beer to be bitter and unreliable like my uncle pete, and i do not want it to taste of metal, like someone has put a pocketful of loose change in it.

“hello world”

i suppose it’ll be nice to have a place to dump things i like and maybe say some things about what i’m working on. i’m not sure how often i’ll post things or if anyone will see them but we’ll see!

for now here’s the always-impressive sc140 project (i wanted to put the flash player on my page, but xspf isn’t playing nice). now that i’m starting to work in supercollider again i’m even more impressed by the musicality of these ultra-compact (and cryptic) mini-compositions.

in my own supercollider news, work is progressing nicely on whither, thence, repeat, the midi keyboard piece i’m writing for tim hambourger. i still haven’t started writing any actual music but the code is going well. figuring out the “IAC Driver” for routing midi signals between ableton (for qwerty keyboard control) and supercollider made testing a lot easier.
