Wedding Bells
Getting married today. (insert mushy romantic excerpt here) No big fancy wedding. Just my parents, little brother and her parents are here from Japan. Should be interesting to have her parents and mine meet since my parents speak no Japanese and her parents know zero english.
Ice Cream Time
It’s that time of year again. Time for all the little children to go running for money as soon as they hear the melody of the ice cream truck. This one stopped right in front of my house for a few minutes and I managed to get (a rather poor) recording of it. One thing to notice: The beat does funky things during the melody. Try tapping along to the beat while the melody plays and see what happnes.

Audio Filter Intro
In an attempt to educate myself on all things electroacoustic, I have been scrounging around for various sources of knowledge and studying them.

From the Computer Music Journal:
Published continuously since 1977, Computer Music Journal (CMJ) is a quarterly journal that covers a wide range of topics related to digital audio signal processing and electroacoustic music. It is published (in hard copy and on-line) by MIT Press.
The people invovled with this journal know oodles about the creation of electronic music and sounds, but you won’t find their music in the ‘techno’ section of your local record store. I ran across some recordings of works people submitted for use in the journal, and I found them very interesting to listen to (especially using headphones). This clip is really more of a digital soundscape than a traditional piece of music , but what makes it so interesting is that, as far as I know, it was generated/edited solely by electronic means.
