The Guide

Here is the followup documentary to " Triumph of the Nerds " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerds_2.0.1 ------------------------------

Here are 3 musical experiments I've sent to the "online".  3 different areas of exploration. In Closed system I was experimenting with recording an old synth to make loops to layer with.   Closed system by guidewire Palmer was a straight recording of myself playing in an old organ in a church.   Palmer by guidewire This recording is basically testing out different parameters on a virtual Korg Electribe drum machine on an iPad.   Terror korgs end by guidewire And if you wish to hear more all the rest can still be found up at  http://soundcloud.com/guidewire  or on band camp ------------------------------

Just finished watching this documentary from 1996.  Very interesting to see where all this stuff came from right before the internet took off. The doc was done in 3 episodes on PBS and have been nicely compiled into a playlist of 18 segments on youtube. I would love to see a real follow-up to this ( apparently there was a sequel 2 years later about the internet, but I think much more has happened) Here is the wikipedia article on it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_of_the_Nerds ------------------------------
