Mmm. I do so dearly love when science and music come together*.
Wired has a lovely article full of all sorts of groovy gizmos that will be producing the sounds of tomorrow.
The Brick Table
Stay tuned for a complete 180° turn in our next installment – we’ll switch from the future of electronic music to the past. One of the finest bombardiers in the fleet (and defending zero-gee shoot fighting champion of the HMS Lakota), my old comrade Coyote, asked a while back for some more info about 60s electronic stuff when I dropped some Pierre Henry on the firing range. So keep your eyes on the radar for some of that on the weekend.
Huh – the teaser for the next post contains more words than the actual content of this post. Weird.
Oh well. Viper Pilot, signing off.
*Yes, yes – music is math and all, so you could technically say that music is science. But, really, let’s be fair. Math is a grey area within the realm of science. Sure, you need it to perform scientific calculations, but on its own it’s kind of just a set of logic experiments, done within the head and no need for real-world observations. Discuss this paradox amongst yourselves.

Saulteaux, subset of Ojibwa. Not Lakota, you stupid honky. BTW, is that not the lamest racial epitath ever? Even cracker isn’t much better.
I s’pose I could call you a frog but that’s just … sad.

Damnit. I knew you were going to fuck me on that one.
FYI, I dig cracker. I’m reclaiming it!

BTW theoretical mathematical equations dealing with all the sub-branches of mathematics are as much inspiration as they are hard and fast rules. Real edge of your seat mathematics involved with the predictions of computer evolution alone are pretty whacky. I had a deep discussion with a math major a while ago. Lemme just say that … I understood NOTHING except the excitement and drive this young woman had when it came to the more advanced stuff. It’s science dude.
Let us not forget that mega-genius Newton who said ‘If I seem to have achieved new hieghts, it is only because I stand upon the sholders of giants.’ Give the school it’s due cracker, or I’ll hire an aboriginal to curse your voice to forever crack… Wait, did someone beat me to that one?
Wait I know, I’ll use the same one that was used on me, may all your sack hair turn GRAY! YAH! Take that you CESM! (See above comment for acronym)
