The original version of the song appeared on the album In the Arms of Love in 2002. This new remix features flies, great fretless bass guitar playing by Jon Gagan, and an electric guitar solo.

aqian100321 Matthew Schoening sent me his CD Solo Electric Cello, which was released soon after our performance at Greg Gorman’s workshop in October – see this post. I like the album a lot and asked him whether we could present the music in our ListeningLounge. Here it is. Enjoy.  We will do some remote collaborating early next year, which I am looking forward to.

Predictions & Prescriptions Bruce Bueno de Mesquita uses a mathematical model that is based entirely on game theory to predict the outcomes of political conflicts. He takes a very literal interpretation of the phrase “political science” and focuses his analysis strictly on issues of strategic interest, ignoring any cultural or historical aspects of the parties involved.

He believes that the theory of rational choice can accurately predict the actions of any political actors as long as the data underpinning the determination of interests are correct. An analysis of his model’s one’s rhythm might be off, if one were to focus on the bowing of the string, the flow of the melody might be off etc.If one gets stuck on just one aspect of the music (rhythm, pitch, melody, sound-production etc.) the result will sound wooden and not musical. In other words, letting our attention naturally flow between all of the different elements of making music is better than concentrating.

Concentrating is what we have to do when we learn to play an instrument, or when we learn a new piece – but it is not the way to perform music. This flow-concept is something I feel can be applied to everything from creating art to cooking to parenting.

They were so funny and well done. Sad to see them go. Hm, wonder which rockstar objected to them…Here are a few images from the Lensic performance in June, captured by Colleen Hayes.From left to right: Robby Rothschild, Stephen Duros, OL, Jon Gagan and Michael Chavez.Great photos Colleen!

And let’s not forget Google’s purchase of YouTube for $1.65bn (￡1bn).

Unpleasant indeed. I mean that I strongly suggest that you: 1. go to an audiologist and do a hearing test – they play you different pitches over headphones and you have to react by pushing a button

2. you get hearing protection for when you go to a club, sit in an airplane, anytime you are around a lot of noise – check out this and this – I use the latter and love ‘em! You may not feel that this is a critical issue for you right now, but once you need hearing aids you will fee different. Nothing can truly bring your hearing back.
