This post is for any of my listeners who are curious (or confused) about my journey into Zero Input Mixing (ZIM). Disclaimer: This isn’t for the faint of heart. Those who are used to my Blues/Roots side, or the work I do with Fricknadorable are forewarned. These are not the ...
Last year I embarked on an exploration of the Percussa Audiocubes, a MIDI controller designed to add visual feedback to performance and free the user from the computer when working with electronic music (or any other kind of music/audio). This year, Bert Schiettecatte, creator of the cubes, has upgraded them to ...
Last weekend I attended electro-music 2013 in Huguenot NY. This was my fourth year attending this wonderful festival, and as always I came away with many new musical concepts and friendships. Highlights included dueling theremins, triple Eigenharp performances and large analog modulars. Attendees ranged from all over the US, and as ...

Living in Bloomsburg, I am used to seeing things with “Bloom” in the title, so why should software be any different? On his web site, Brian Eno describes Bloom as “a music box for the 21st Century”, which is just as apt a description as any. Eno is a proponent ...
Echo String is a cross between an electric harp and piano. Like many apps it takes a few minutes to wrap your head around the design, but once you have that “Ah HA!” moment, the fun really begins. In fact, Echo String can be considered an instrument onto itself, ...
Monolith Loop works off of the same “pebble ripple” principle as Brian Eno’s Bloom and several other apps, but the ripples bounce off of each other a bit differently. There’s only one tone, adjustable by pitch and resonance. It’s pleasing enough, and can be further configured in six “moods” ...
As an avid listener of Indian music, I have been through many of the available apps, and I’m usually not impressed. Some have a very “toy” like quality, and are pretty cheesy. So I was skeptical about yet another app… but Samvada is different. The fact that this is ...
