Pretty cool, Charlie! It’s neat seeing you amble through Latvian streets. And, heck. Your Latvian is a whole lot better than mine!

I am a member of a vocal sextet – SATTBB – and am interested in the setting of Hashkivenu. Is it available?

Thank you

Comment on Peter Gabriel’s remake of Paul Simon’s “Boy in the Bubble” by Jackie Bade

I was born a Simon & Garfunkle fan. Until I was about 7, my parents had 4 albums: Petula Clark, Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass, and 2 Simon & Garfunkle albums – Wednesday morning 4AM(?) and the one with Bridge Over Troubled Water (was it Bookends?). Michael Golder and I went to the big Central Park reunion concert (when was that?). in any case, I understand how that music brings up intense nostalgia – even the sound of the voice singing something new takes you back.

Peter Gabriel singing those words is an interesting twist! I love him! Peter Gabriel concerts are so terrifically theatrical. But in this case, he takes a song that Paul Simon made buoyant and he turns it into a lament. Do I like it? Yes and no – i have to let it grow on me.

PS. i heard PG covered a Bowie song and Bowie refuses to cover any of his…

I am trying to order “So, we’ll go no more a roving” but when I go to pay, the title shows “How do I love thee?” Please advise. Will I get the correct music? or is there a glitch in the website?

Comment on Generative Music – Part I – Tiction by eduard dedu

Hi. I don’t know if you still need help with problem no 3; anyway, if you want to sync Tiction to an external midi clock (i.e. the metronome of the sequencer you are using), you must set your sequencer (Logic) to output a Timecode signal. Then you check the ‘Sync to Midi’ box from the Options menu in Tiction and it should work. I just managed to sync Tiction and Ableton Live doing this. Good luck.

Comment on Generative Music Part III – Elysium by Charles

Wow, Matt, I’m honored that you made a change at my suggestion. I’ll look forward to the next release. In the meantime, if I could apply the Socratic method of questioning… why is it that you want to keep the various layers’ timing completely independent?
As for you not having musical training, don’t sweat it. Sometimes that’s exactly where innovation comes from. And in the larger sense as it relates to technology, it’s an issue that we’re all too close to, chronologically speaking, to have any real perspective on it. But I do know that the relationship between musical *training* and music *making* is in flux right now. History will make up its mind later.
