I always love following along with visual charts like this. Wish that iTunes would have something like this for a visualizer option for new music compositions. Maybe a more nerdy software will come to be with charts accompanying the music.
Hat tip to Crooks and Liars for pointing us to this great vid.
Plenty more on the Tube. Been digging this playlist from the user d21d34c55.
Check this out…
SUNDAY JUNE 13th
An unprecedented concert of new jazz works with renowned composers and performers for the telematic music medium. Telematic music is real-time performance via the internet by musicians in different geographic locations. Performers will be located in New York and San Diego, playing together as one trans-continental ensemble in real-time and “real-space”. There will be local audiences as well as a world-wide webcast. The music explores elements of jazz fused with artistic properties of telematic technology including multiplicity, heterophony, swing, polyphony, synchronicity, and nodality. The transparent densities and intensities are manifested to create this new music reality of telematic jazz.Composers – Mark Dresser, Gerry Hemingway, Oliver Lake, Sarah Weaver
San Diego Performers – Hafez Modirzadeh saxophone,Michael Dessen trombone, Alex Cline, percussion, Mark Dresser, contrabass
New York Performers – Amir ElSaffar, Oliver Lake, saxophone, Min Xiao-Fen , pipa, Gerry Hemingway, percussion, Sarah Weaver, conductorSteinhardt School, New York University

A few links to pass on this fine Tuesday.
Destination:Out, unequivocally my most treasured source for discovering new jams, has a new post today following up a great post last week. The band, Amalgam; the record, Prayer for Peace. 
The two tracks posted are killer. Great way to start the day. Or end it. Really any time.
Next, a new Konono No.1 album was announced. Details via Pitchfork. The album titled Assume Crash Position hits the street June 8th. Here’s hoping for a stream to come soon. Info on a new Congotronics vinyl box with included Assume Crash Position LP over at the label site (Crammed).
Last, La Blogotheque (found via TwentyFourBit) is featuring a Wilco performance of “Country Disappeared.” Pretty cool performance — quiet, stripped-down, no vocal microphones. Definitely check it out.
As blogged at more than 95 theses.
PRODUCED AND MANAGED BY: Scott Haines
COMPOSED AND CONDUCTED BY: Eric Whitacre
Representing 12 Countries:
Austria, Argentina, Canada, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, The Philippines, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States of America
It’s amazing what reverb sounds like in the hallways of space.
I subscribe to a few tech blog feeds and a lot of my friends I’m linked to via Google Reader have similar interests. There’s an endless supply new devices, apps, and games announced almost daily. Such an exciting time for tech lovers. And specifically for musician tech lovers.
Here is new take on the Tetris model called Chime. This one uses not only a point reward system, but also a musical reward…
It’s exciting to see how people are shaping how consumers access and interact with music today. Gives me a lot of inspiration.
Thanks to all who have preordered their copy of this DVD. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have been these past couple weeks. Such a spectacle to watch and hear. Watch the trailer for Stained Radiance.

Nels Cline + Norton Wisdom
I also came across a clip of another live performance from this duo the other day…
Awesome.
Guitarist Nels Cline and ar Norton Wisdom, both masters of their medium, joined together last year for an afternoon of sonic and visual improvisation caught on film by Aeght Nign. Armed with his guitar and effects, Cline constructs lush soundscapes brought about by Wisdom’s brush-stroke spontaneity. Wisdom in turn follows Cline’s auditory twists creating and recreating the same canvas.
Two mesmerizing performances are included on the DVD along with special features like the Norton Headcam, and a behind-the-scenes look into the sessions.
Preorder the DVD at our store.
Stained Radiance – Nels Cline & Norton Wisdom from Greenleaf Music.
Also, all Nels Cline albums are on sale for 30% off during the Stained Radiance preorder. Links below.

Two master innovators—jazz trumpeter/composer Dave Douglas and experimental filmmaker Bill Morrison—draw on the unique resources of Stanford University to create Spark of Being, a monumental work combining the screening of film with live musical performances by Douglas’ electric band Keystone.
WORLD PREMIERE: April 24th, 2010 at Stanford University.
More details coming soon.
After a short tour out East and back, I’m back in the office working away. It was a great trip, but good to be home and away from rest stops and fast food.
A few things that were sent to me over the weekend that I wasn’t able to find time to post…
First, long-time Greenleaf friend Helen Money has a cool new video on the ‘Tube directed by Nelson Chan. The music is a cover of the classic Minutemen tune “Political Song for Michael Jackson to Sing.” Helen’s new album is due out November 3rd and comes highly recommended.
“I am a very big Fan of Michael Jackson, and am quite angry on the fact that We only started to pay attention to him only after his passing. so here is my tribute to him in a Halloween spirit. “let the fouls choke on their own gold!” R.I.P. MJ –Nelson Chan
Monster Cable releases Miles Davis Tribute headphones. Quite a perplexing product. But like most things with Miles’ name on it, I’d want one — if I didn’t already have a sweet set of ‘phones.
Miles Davis Tribute Jazz Headphones are designed and precision tuned with Miles and the unique acoustic tones of jazz in mind.
What would have been cooler than just getting the cans is if the headphones were somehow preloaded with all those complete boxsets. Some Miles iPod or whatever. Still, would love to at least test out Pharoah’s Dance or The Ghetto Walk to see how they sound.
