Uploaded excerpt of "Event Horizon Sonics" to SoundCloud

This has kind of a "Lost in Space" theme to it, you are in a starship and get pulled into the event horizon of a black hole, an event from which there is no escape. What you you do but sit back, relax, and listen to the Event Horizon Sonics.

Here's a sample of a dance track I created for Spectrasonics' OMG-1 Contest that I call "When the Moog Strikes". You can leave me a comment on SoundCloud if you like or dislike it. No questions asked.

Uploaded excerpt of a new piece, "Java Chiller" to SoundCloud

Just chillin' with my coffee maker .... here's an excerpt from the "Java Chiller", a six-minute piece that contains the complete sounds from beginning to end of a pot of morning coffee being brewed. The sounds are supplemented by music loops and some synthesized sounds.

I created a kind of dance piece I call "Looking for Mr Good Moog" that I've entered in Spectrasonics' OMG-1 Contest and have uploaded an excerpt to my SoundCloud account.

After the Vancouver Great Fire photo, June 1886

Vancouver Sun journalist John Mackie published another article highlighting a couple of historical photographs he found in the newspaper's files. One is a painted version of the famous "Vancouver after fire" photo by J.A. Brock & Co. (H.T. Devine), the other photo being a vintage, original print. He quotes yours truly at the end of the article and gives a plug to my monograph Eyes of a City published by the City of Vancouver Archives in 1986, the centennial of the city.

There are obvious factual errors in the article when I looked at it on June 12, 2011 and I've alerted him to those issues in case they can be corrected in the online edition.

Bunch of new tracks on SoundCloud

I took down a bunch of old tracks on SoundCloud to make room for new ones, in particular, excerpts from the six entries I've done to date for Spectrasonics' OMG-1 Contest.

The contest entries so far are "A Night on Moog Mountain", my impression of what Modest Mussorgsky might have with "A Night on Bald Mountain" had he a Moog synthesizer, "Moogyville", "I'm in the Moog for Grunge", "I Worship at the Temple of Moog", "Adagiomoogic" and "Will Insects Inherit the Earth".

A non-contest entry called "Sound Disposal" is also new, kind of a drum & bass horror thing.
