I’m releasing Theoretician v.01 (13:36 min, 22.3 MB MP3), a recent generative composition made using Nodal and Ableton Suite with Max for Live, as a free bonus track in anticipation of my upcoming album release.

 

New album preview

Posted on by

I have posted a full preview of the new nofi album, Elsewhere, which will be released on March 4, 2010. It is a return to a more abstract, ambient, chilled-out, laid-back, space lounge sound and features six extended pieces—most of which have been posted as works-in-progress here. Check it out; more details to come.

UPDATE: SoundCloud has been kind of flaky in the past few days, so a full preview of Elsewhere is also available on Last.fm.

Imagine that instead of having just one wireless carrier, your phone would constantly search for the best connection. An algorithm on your smartphone would assess signal strengths, and balance that with roaming costs, and decide when to switch from one carrier to another.
