The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust!

The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust

“Side effects may include simply being who you are.”

Ask me what my favorite album is and I will tell you The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust! by Saul Williams.

Albums like this are a true rarity in my life, where both the music and lyrics work together as one, getting into my head, forever changing how I hear the world around me. I look forward to the weekends when find myself in my darkened listening space, pacing to the rhythms, yelling the words into my fist.

Instead of descending into a preachy speech as to why you need to own this, I’m giving you this link. You have the option of downloading it for free, or paying $5. The choice is yours.

I’ve come to the conclusion that if I owned one of these things, I’d waste all my spare time making audio-based video games for it. This clip looks and sounds like a Jeff Minter game.

ESP Viper-404

I’ve wanted to get a bass guitar for years. The impulse has been so strong lately that I finally broke down yesterday and purchased an ESP Viper-404. In the immortal words of Ferris Bueller, It is so choice.

I want to learn morse code. I don’t know why, I just do. So a few days ago, I made it my new year’s resolution. The first action I took to help me accomplish this goal of mine was writing the Csound instrument Morse Code Sequencer Event Generator, or mcseq for short.

Topics

  • Morse Code
  • Event Generators
