Hey all you tragic hipsters (or $$ uptown hipster wannabes), NYC fashion designer extraordinaire Apollo Braun is hosting his biggest and baddest fashion show yet! For this Fashion Week 2006, his two fashion lines will be presented: the street-chic Apollo Braun line and the haute-couture Doron Braunshtein line. Promoted by party monster Toshi (www.toshifilm.com).

Oh, and did I mention you can also party all night with the open bar…? Get your tix now: http://www.toshifilm.com/tickets/?prm=apollomusik@yahoo.com

Mousing Around

I’ve posted two new patches to the Max/MSP section… One is a little obfuscation of mine that happens to make interesting sounds from time to time. The other is my first experiment with interfacing Max/MSP with the MPC 2000. This patch lets you sample in real time and then cut up the sample using the MPC pads. It’s a bit esoteric and it’s only monophonic at the moment, but I definitely plan to pursue this patch a little further. Also, a BCR 2000 is in the mail, speeding its way towards my loving arms at this very moment! Between this and the MPC, I shouldn’t have to do much mousing around during shows, and I’ll have a much more immediate and visceral control of my patches (or that’s the idea).

In other news, my latest (and actually not-quite-finished) track “Keeping Birds” popped up on the local college station yesterday. That’s always a super-nice feeling, too, hearing your own stuff! Thanks WTUL! I’ll have to post the finished version soon…

Bookishly, I’m splitting my time between Twisty Little Passages by Nick Montfort, and Brian Greene’s The Fabric of the Cosmos. Dork out!

Bigfoot Love.

Leave it to the Canadians to find topics like naughty rodents or overgrown primates and whip them into addictive reading material. Graham Roumieu’s latest work, Me Write Book: It Bigfoot Memoir, is the brilliant second installation by the popular (and misunderstood) recluse, chock full of gnarly humor and inventive illustrations.

With an appropriate introduction from that other mysterious beast, Nessie of Loch Ness fame, the book includes a hand-clapping tablature for one of his endearing ballads as well as equally priceless descriptions of his rollicking days hanging with Chet Baker and Emilio Estevez. It’s quite possibly the funniest narrative I’ve read this year, and friends with whom I’ve shared the story have also elicited “hootilicious” reactions.

Roumieu has illustrated for the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Harpers, Paper Mag, and perhaps most notably, Andrews McMeel’s A Really Super Book About Squirrels… He lives in Toronto, is a Libra, and is easily annoyed. Bless his most noble heart.

The ATF badges finally arrived! Yay! If you want one, alls you have to do is scoot an email over to me! Easy! Some of you will get one whether you want it or not, so deal with it ok?! (If you’ve any doubt that I know your address, let me know just in case.)

I’ve been plugging away at a pseudo-granulizer patch in Max/MSP. It’s pretty functional at this point, so I’ll post it in a few days. It approaches some of the old granular problems in a different way, and has a really lovely sound to it. Speaking of which, those into Max really must check out Leafcutter John’s burgeoning Framework project (featuring a subpatch by He Can Jog). Tres hip!
