We hear music inspired by (and sometimes played by) machines, including Marc Mellits'lilting guitar riff "Dark Age Machinery." Other "mechanized" works on the bill include music for disklavier by Kyle Gann, an historical recording of Alexander Mossolov's frenetic "Symphony of Machines," and selections from Josh Schmidt's darkly comedic musical "Adding Machine."

by (60's standards) not but
When I was a street rat in Brooklyn I would run into graffiti such as "Lisa is a whoa." Spelled w-h-o-a but pronounced as who-ah'. I grew up not knowing what a who-AH' was exactly, except maybe somebody who did nasty things with boys whatever THEY were. It wasn't until I got older and recalled this that I realized it was whore with a Brooklyn accent. Otherwise I'm really not all that stupid. :-) I haven't had the opportunity to use it on purpose but if I have the opportunity I will. Oh, I think I did grow up to be a who-AH but early 60's standards.
I like the machine rhythms Bjork used in Selma Songs.
One with a record player, one with a railroad.
My dog is totally fascinated by the dot matrix piece. She's staring at the radio as though it might start moving!
I'm supposed to be working on my dissertation right now. I call that"dissertating," which I think ought to be a word, but it's not.
Ear muffs will forever be "ear mufflers" to me.
The quintessential "cawfee".
I love your music .I listen to it every night before I go to bed. I am only 11 yrs. old but I love your show
For filing under things I mis-say: I'm a vegetarian, but for whatever reason, I will often refer to myself as a vegetable terrarium.
HiDavid, you are funny.But I wonder Do you think John Williams pen-synched when he composed the score? Imagine if Gustavo Dudamel baton-synchs when he conducts???
