Today’s gear porn(above) is from Bill on TDPRI. I need a deck with that on it.
Circuit Locution is to the third part in the on bending a Yamaha PSS-460. There is not a lot of bending instructional stuff shown in detail this well. If you have interest in circuit bending you should check it out.
de la mancha has released sfilter:
“sfilter creates a stepped filtered sequence, to create gating, sweeps or rhythmic modulation of filter cut-off. It uses a variable state filter, varying between 2 adjustable cut-off values according to a tempo-sync’d step sequencer. An LFO can also modulate the filter for extra movement”
If you have interest in copyright(copywrong) issues or like me just have and interest in getting all straightened out and returning culture to people I found a very through and thought provoking article via the ccMixterblog & The Patry Copyright Blog. Prof. Robert Brauneis of George Washington University has a paper documenting the convoluted history of a copyright icon the Happy Birthday song in great detail. It can be downloaded at SSRN. The detail history illustrates very well the problems of copyright. I can’t imagine trying to figure out the owner ship of something that has been orphaned.
Obsurica Records is doing some thing a little insane that I like called Sloppy Seconds:
I am accepting submissions for a comp entitled “Sloppy Seconds”.
Submissions must be exactly one second in length. They may be found sound, original compositions, previously released or unreleased.. anything. They are all being strung together into a massive, A.D.D. inducing, pummeling, roller coaster ride of an audio experience.
I have a weakness for Telecasters. I just like ‘em. Jeff Miller has built some tele that are bit different. He mixes Line 6 Variax electronics into a more traditional Tele. I think it is pretty cool even if regular tele is already perfect.
And speaking of Teles Electric Guitar Review has begun a project relicing a new tele. While I love the look of old beat up to closet classic relics I kind of think making relics is a little lame sometimes. Of course parting with 5 figures to get a real one is also lame. I am really curious to see the whole process works and the results.
And continuing the theme Swineshead Pickups have release some good looking Tele pickups the Spotlight-TC & the Dragonfly-TC. I really dig the wood but the different color plastic is cool also.
Holy shit, I can’t believe you linked to a paper on SSRN… I work there! And I’ve read that paper too. FREAKY.
Of course we only have about ten papers classified under “music”, and about ten zillion papers under legal and economic topics.
Man, it can be a small world sometimes.
I have to confess did a poor job of reading the paper. I skimmed a little. Any time the foot notes climb past the half way point of the page you know it not exactly going to read like a good beach book. Still I found it interesting.
I hope you don’t have to read the other ten zillion papers. I don’t think I could take to many papers monetary policy or the like.
No, I don’t have to read the papers, but I occasionally see one that begs to be looked through.
Think of it this way: footnotes = less to read, so you’re actually going from page to page faster.
