Problem solved
The bandwidth problem has been solved thanks to archive.org. The existing links have been changed from torrents to direct downloads, so you should be able to get instant gratification now. I'm still working out all the logistics, so new songs won't start until the weekend.

Speed
Help is on the way regarding downloads. More news soon. I'll be pausing the project until the bandwidth solution is finished. I'm hoping to start uploading again by this weekend.

And another
2005-02-08 is a little old and a lot new. By the way, it's the day after my birthday.

Migraine
When I have a massive migraine, playing the dijeridoo helps a lot. 2005-02-07 is the result of that. It's my birthday, by the way.

The Trouble with Torrents
I know that the torrents aren't working as they should. I've uploaded a new set that are point at a different tracker. We'll see how that does.

Deep in the Brazilian Jungle
2005-02-04 is a little different. It's just on the border of being ambient. Maybe it should be called Drum 'n' Bossa (Bossa 'n' Bass?) Anyway, it's Friday and time to dance! This is a collaboration between me and David Azarch, the DJ from the Mudd Club. Actually, it came from an idea from Lauren Amazeen, the former Executive Director of The Kitchen, who's also my wife.

Overload!
I haven't even announced this thing yet and I'm starting to get lots of hits. I've switched over to using BitTorrent to deliver the files so I don't get hit with huge bandwidth fees.

Towards Hypermusic
Originally published at MIT's Leonardo On-Line in 1998Experience While connecting to the Internet, the screaming of two modems arguing about their handshaking protocols finally stops when they come to an agreement. The modem speaker is turned off, but the modem continues to translate digital information into an acoustic signal: music for machines, perhaps. It is odd that such an energetic acoustic experience should begin such an unusually silent experience. Bits come stream

Turning Cybercasts From Music Promotion to Art Form
From @ New York 1998 With the opening of the latest incarnation of the Intel New York Music Festival, a great deal of attention is being paid to the novelty -- and commercial and artistic potential-- of cybercasting. But "Cybercasting" itself is nothing new: Around the turn of the last century, an opera being performed in Philadelphia was transmitted via telephone to New York. In 1927, live images of Herbert Hoover were sent by telephone from Washington, D.C., to New York C

Sound On The Internet
From Developer.com 1997 The conventional wisdom among IT professionals is that audio is a toy, for entertainment purposes only. To date, the best use of audio in user interfaces is in video games and CD ROMs. But thanks to faster processors, sophisticated new algorithms, and well-thought-out new APIs, user interface designers stand poised to take advantage of perhaps the most subtly sophisticated sensing devices human beings have -- our ears. The elements of hearingHuman hea
