Haverstick interview

A local news/arts rag, Westword, just did an interview with yours
truly; the fellow who did it, Thomas Peake, did a very good job, and
presented the ideas we discussed very well, for the most part (he said it
was edited, and I got the feeling he liked the unedited version better).
If anyone wants to check it out, go to www.westword.com, and click on
arts and music...we have some writers in town who are into what we're
doing, and are quite sympathetic...Hstick

Why not mention of the Kyma system? It easily handles any and all
microtonal tuning issues with ease and power. And, it has done this
for several years.

The Kyma system hardly falls into that category.

In the near future, inexpensive software synths based on mainstream
processors and operating systems will challenge the "ease and power" of this
Rolls Royce of synthesizers. Whether they have microtonal capabilities
sooner rather than later is something we can influence by making our wishes
known.

I expect that synthesizing ease and power go the way that computing ease and
power have gone and are going.
