If you have been following my little adventure, we left off at the MS20 Legacy controller, where I began to document the steps of creating a hybrid sampling solution between Ableton Live’s Simpler and a nearly computer-less tactile interface (the Korg MS20). If you missed it, here’s a link to part 1. Now then, let’s…
I have always been into sampling and circuit bending, hoping for a possibility for doing both live. After thinking about buying an old hardware sampler and possibly circuit bending it (a risky proposition), I started to imagine that between Ableton’s Simpler and my MS20 Legacy Controller I might be able to create something meaningful…
According to this article, these are the top 15 music sites in the world as of December, 2016. I found it interesting that Pandora was #1 of course, and not Spotify. I did not expect that, but knew they would be in the top 5. Yahoo music I did not expect at all. But that…
I have been working on a new logo for endpop for some time now, on and off for a few months. It was a journey sparked by my colleagues who were in the process of the same thing. Through the observation of the work they had put into what seems like such a simple process,…
I have often asked myself, ‘Is the glass half full or half empty?’ And I’m sure you have too. But the question I am posing for myself these days is, ‘Why think there is a glass to be filled or be emptied?’ The idea of happiness comes from within. It cannot be measured by other…
I always pass them, and they seem to epitomize the very feel of alienation in the song.. so I took these shots of these dolls in a obscure gallery window, already knowing they will be added to the various images I have of statues and other objects. They remind us of our humanity. All they…

If you got the Distances album from itunes or some other store and want the 16 page booklet, you can download it from here: BOOKLET LINK
So yes… I’m editing a video for Fast Forward. It’s the only video where I believe the footage with me in the robot outfit works because the song’s arrangement is not ‘serious’ and the vibe is very light. I am not sure if there’s enough footage to be honest, but the ideas thus far are…
369hz for your relaxation pleasure. Warning: May induce deep sleep and lucid dreaming!
For this week only.. You can free listen to the entire album. Free!
I just watched 70% this on Netflix and it was pretty good. I will finish it tonight. Good that sampling is getting a bit of attention.
i was sitting here working on a playlist for my friend Bob Hassay, and this was supposed to be just a test. but what the heck.. Good music never dies..
I discovered that an administrative error had caused The Diary’s site to go down. I was able to recover it, and in doing so I updated a few little things. But The real gem was listening to this particular ‘session’ that I put together one evening. My favorite section is when the phone rings, and…
In the wake of learning about Bowie’s death, one of two things compel me to write. One was how amazing the film Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars was. I actually watched it on his birthday on Friday night with my love. I found myself so enthralled by the sound and the performance,…
This was the bottle of Coke I got from my brother. I wasn’t supposed to drink it. But I intend to turn it into a lamp. So I had to.
