A little info for the Mac users:

There are not many free ogg players for the Mac... The one I recommend for those using 10.2.X+

Wow... I should stay subbed to this list more often... It turns into a comedy rather quickly..

Anyway.. The 1st section of my performance Live @ Felix Kulpa Gallery (http://catharsis.egregious.net/live/06_06_03_Catharsis_Live@Felix_Kulpa_Gallery/) was selected for the The Electric Rainbow Coalition concert at Dartmouth (http://music.dartmouth.edu/rainbow/) Anyone else submit a work to this event? I can't attend, but I am trying to get DVD-Video together; 16/44.1 audio along with a video of my performance. I don't have a multi-colored mohawk anymore though, so I am afraid it will not be as exciting... ;P This might not happen though as I have to find a camera that handles Digital-8; have access to three Mini-DV cameras... doh...

Scream is coming along... lots of cool stuff... some "temporary" ??? disappointments (Java gripes; especially the Mac JDK! well... It just sucks; boo on Apple).. I am doing a demo of some of my multichannel modules to JKSound (www.jksound.com) next week.. If they dig it I'll be heading out to Burning Man with their crew to provide spatialization software for a massive 8 channel (huge tower/per channel) array they are setting up.. Should be wild.. ::crossing fingers here::

Just finished engineering my first hard techno record... Should have that back in a couple of weeks.. I'll post the tracks soon, but inquire with me as I probably won't post here about it... One of my tracks is very quirky and microtonal based. Neato... Production/engineering is stunning if I may say so myself... ;)

My next big series of performances I'll be at is Defcon 11 in Las Vegas (www.defcon.org); I'm headlining their event/party and also performing at a couple other events that weekend. Woot... My first out of state booking. Heck at this rate it won't take me long to have more out of state bookings than local ones (SF Bay Area)...

heh heh... MMM... :) I see you guys "scared" Jacky away a while ago... no?

Yep. No posts for days and then the asylum doors swing open, usually with me in the clown suit leading the parade!

Hey, man, I've tried to dl stuff before but your work is usually very large (and, I hasten to add, it *should* be), so I can't get it all downloaded. Don't you ever do limited-pressing CD-Rs or, later on, a DVD? I'd really like to follow your progress!

It is just totally screwed when a big part of the 'platform independence' equation goes flat.

Do you know the spatialization program "spat"? It has been grown here in San Diego at the UCSD Center for Music and Technology by Peter Otto. It can do *amazing* things sonically, and apparently is getting around in usage. Boy, but it would be great to see an installation at BMan. Don't forget the sunblock (or mud)... :)

And so you did! Damn, post some chunks at least!

>heh heh... MMM... :) I see you guys "scared" Jacky away a while ago... no?

Another of the great losses. I tried to keep the vibes cool on MMM, but was unsuccessful. He's OK, though...

Cheers,
