Even if you don’t know about his music, his story is dynamite, universal, and hopeful. Help us cast Henry’s spell, and spread his music.

Fibers that can hear and sing →
Of course there are scientific applications but I want a suit that’s a full soundsystem that lets you send waves of sound from every inch of your body.

In addition to wearable microphones and biological sensors, applications of the fibers could include loose nets that monitor the flow of water in the ocean and large-area...

(Romana sits down as the Doctor carefully watches the ground, putting the tip of one shoe in front of the other as he walks.)
ROMANA: I do wish you'd explain what's happening, Doctor.
DOCTOR: You've got all the facts, study them.
ROMANA: (watching his drunk-test style walk) Oh, that's very helpful.
DOCTOR: Nonsense. It's good mental exercise, an academy graduate doesn't need things explained surely...
ROMANA: I will not give way to feelings of psychofeudal hostility.
(The Doctor spins around and gets in her face.)
DOCTOR: Hmm? What?
ROMANA: We have a negative empathy, Doctor.
DOCTOR: Splendid. Let's go.

The celebrity chef Alice Waters is probably the world’s most famous advocate of growing and eating local, Organic food. In February 2010 her Chez Panisse Foundation chose as its new Executive Director the wealthy “green socialite” and liberal political activist Francesca Vietor. Vietor’s hiring created a serious conflict of interest that has married Waters and her...
WatchElectronic Behavior Control System by the Emergency Broadcast Network
It’s hard to explain how amazing the gents behind the Emergency Broadcast Network were. They were multimedia experts before the technology made anyone a cut and paste artist. I had the pleasure of visiting their HQ in Rhode Island for an interview back in the late 90’s and came away as impressed with them as people...

The Bowie Phenomena
The earlier in an article a writer claims what he or she is writing will cause critics to “sharpen their knives” in response the less likely it’s actually true and anyone cares. The phenomena can be upgraded to a “Keen Bowie” if the author sates they can actually hear the knives being sharpened. Even better, it can be trumped as a “Baited Bowie” if the...

“Don’t Turn on the Lights” isn’t quite the love-letter “Momma’s Boy” was but, as noted, it the H&O DNA running through it. It’s certainly a million times better than The Bird & The Bee covers of H&O songs forced upon the world a few months ago.

A great looking vinyl/Serato scratch package of J Dilla tracks. It looks beautiful and if you check out the page you can score a great J Dilla remix of “Safety Dance” for your next covers mix. Tasty.
Contemporary Notation and Limited Indeterminacy:... →
In preparing a work of contemporary music for public performance, the interpreting musician should ask himself a series of questions: Who is the composer of this piece? What are his compositional ideals? What are his objectives for this piece? How does he seek to realize them? Investigation into such topics can yield worthwhile clues especially for the performance of a complex work. Roger...
