		<title>Who cares if you care?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Where's Zankel's stage door? I'm already 19 years late for my concert!
My friends Matt Marks and Brian Sacawa have been kicking out articles over the past few days in response to a fairly contentious piece on eighth blackbird&#8217;s blog.  Topics under discussion include:

Is classical music still &#8220;relevant?&#8221;
Is the new &#8220;alt-classical&#8221; movement a revolution or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Everything, all at once</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Long time no post.  Too busy right now.  Can&#8217;t even write complete sentences.
Here&#8217;s a brief rundown on what&#8217;s happening. I promise to get to all of it in more detail soon:
1) I&#8217;ll be playing some kind of hybrid live/DJ set at Brooklyn&#8217;s venerable Halcyon Records on Wednesday, April 14 from 7-9pm EST. If [...]]]></description>

		<title>More thoughts on the iPad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By now, every geek this side of Cupertino has weighed in on the iPad. So my attempt to add to the noise could easily be seen as just a crude attempt to cash in on a trending topic for the purpose of leveraging website traffic. Fair enough.

But as a geek with a particular niche interest -- computer music technology -- I hope to bring some fresh perspective.]]></description>

		<title>In C Remixed (Rehashed)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that the dust has settled on this project, I&#8217;d like to say a few words about it.
The Grand Valley State University New Music Ensemble is a pretty amazing group.
A couple years ago they managed to blow everyone&#8217;s minds with a series of killer performances of Steve Reich&#8217;s Music for 18 Musicians, culminating in a [...]]]></description>

		<title>The health care &#8220;opposition&#8221; is fake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like the &#8220;Brooks Brothers Riot&#8221; after the 2000 election and the &#8220;tea party&#8221; silliness earlier this year, the current town hall opposition to health care reform is not a grassroots, Middle American movement.
Instead, it&#8217;s a top-down, highly coordinated effort to create the illusion of a popular uprising. This phenomenon is known as astroturfing.
Let&#8217;s examine who&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Taking Musical Chances</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Students at the So Percussion Summer Institute getting ready to play Shifty.
A couple weeks ago, I had the pleasure of doing a composition master class at the So Percussion Summer Institute. My piece Shifty was on the repertoire list for the students, and I was asked to come to a rehearsal and talk about it.
It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not even wrong</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Austrian physicist Wolfgang Pauli once said, after reading a &#8220;scientific&#8221; paper, &#8220;Das ist nicht nur nicht richtig, es ist nicht einmal falsch!&#8221; (&#8220;That is not only not right, it&#8217;s not even wrong!&#8221;)
The phrase &#8220;not even wrong&#8221; has since come to refer to ideas that are so malformed that they cannot even be assessed.
Here&#8217;s an [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Automatic&#8221;: a self-generating Live Set</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Live comes with lots of crazy devices. One of my favorites is the ancient Vinyl Distortion audio effect. This isn't because I'm particularly interested in vinyl emulation - if you know my music, you know that it's squeaky-clean and ultra-digital. I love Vinyl Distortion because of the "Crackle" parameter, which outputs semi-random noise.]]></description>
