This site has been neglected while busy with various
projects. Some portions are out of date while others have material that is
as valid today as when it was written. We will be raking through the site
bit by bit and updating, deleting and adding content. In the mean time place
markers will help to mark out of date information. |

Spot Review |
A new Spot Review of Yamaha's CS6X controller
keyboard/synth is in progress. I have already posted much of it and will be posting
the rest in bits and
pieces so you won't have to wait very long to start reading about it.
Reviews of one or more of the plug-in accessory cards may also be in the
works. |

New Graphics
section added. |
A new Graphics
section has been added. Here you will eventually find news,
articles, product reviews and the results of some of my graphics
experiments. The interaction between sound and graphics will be
emphasized. Articles for 3D computer graphics beginners will be some of
the first to be posted. This should be a good place for a musician to
start finding out how to create animations for his/her music video. |

Advertising to fund site expansion. |
Advertising Banners have been added to this
site in an attempt to pay for expansion of the site including more reviews
more often. More articles. New sections on making music videos with music
and audio enabled computer graphics software. The long planned Letters to
the Editor section. A showcase of examples of the technologies discussed
in the articles and reviews. Diagrams and animations explaining the
concepts discussed in the articles. This will all take time but I
encourage you to stop back at least once eack week. A mailing list to let
you know when new things are added to the site is also under
consideration. If this becomes a reality there will be a place to
request that your email be added to the list. Email addresses from
visitors with questions will not automatically be added to such a
list. It all starts today.
We are making every attempt to be sure ads do not include content
inappropriate to children such as alcohol and tobacco. I have a small
child and I will not allow anything on this site that he should not see.

New Logo! |
A new logo is only the beginning of a host of
graphic and audio improvements nearing completion. Plans include
visual examples for articles and music video demos. I have actually been
encouraging development of and participating in development and testing of
tools to create a more intimate relationship between music and computer
animation during the development phase of both. I will soon begin posting
links to those products as they become public. A link to Syncer for
trueSpace can already be found on my Links page which will, itself be
revamped. For several months I have been maintaining a separate site on
which I share graphics testing and development with computer graphics
artists. Soon I will make that site more presentable and provide a link to
it from this site. All of the development on that site has been to improve
this one. |

Web based Music+Video coming soon |
Much of my time has been spent on a project to present
examples of several web capable audio technologies as well as some
preliminary examples of tightly integrated Music+Video. It looks like I
will have some examples to post soon. The task has uncovered so many
complicated issues that I may be posting an article on the subject once I
have actually posted the Music+Video content I have been working on for so
long. Don't get too excited over the first few examples. The largest
hurdles were with the technology and I did not want to create any content
until I knew what the restrictions would be. |
