The BarCampMadison3 Lightning Talks were awesome! Listen up, and you’ll get to hear “Professor” Matt Gauger discuss a SCIgen paper he created.
You’ll probably love this so much you’ll want to download an MP3. (And for our freedom loving friends, enjoy an Ogg file.)

While waiting for BarCampMadison3 to start we captured this conversation between myself and my vegan girlfriend. We had quite the talk about the farmer’s market, vitamins, religion, Morrissey, and of course, Veganism.
OK, this is actually a conversation between myself and Vegan Soundboard, an iPhone app that was being controlled by Matt Gauger. We recorded it on the Zoom H2 Handy Portable Stereo Recorder
I ended up using Convo Droid to record a number of sessions at BarCampMadison3, but I figured I’d get this out first, as it was actually recorded before the official start of the event. Also, it’s funny.

RPM Challenge 2009
Yup, I am all set to record another album… In the 28 days of February 2009 I will record an entire album consisting of either 10 songs or 35 minutes of material for the RPM Challenge 2009.
I’ve been thinking about what I want to do, but I don’t think I’m going to reveal anything until the album is completely done. Perhaps some snippets of songs, but I don’t plan on doing what I did last year. I basically started the process of writing and recording all at once, and finished each song within a few hours, and then uploaded it, calling it “done!” which turned into a really weird collection of songs… which is, you know, an album, but this time I am more interested in a cohesive piece of work.
I’m going to borrow a guitar (most likely from Milton Zorro of Trademark fame) as mine is just too much a total piece of crap that can’t be tuned properly. My bass sounds good, so that’s fine… as for drums, I actually do have my drums set up in the recording booth at work, but they need some loving (new heads, tuning) and they aren’t mic’d so I might not use them at all. I may end up using existing drum loops again. (Drums are always the hardest part!) I’ll be trying a Firewire audio interface to see if it works well for guitar and bass input, where last year I used the cheap “USB Guitar Plug” so hopefully things will sound a bit cleaner.
Ultimately I want to produce an album that I really like. If no one else likes it, that’s cool… Oh, it will also be released under a Creative Commons license, like most of my music, photos, and video…
Check back in February for updates, or in March for the conclusion. Rock on…
(Oh yeah, Matt Gauger is the guy who told me about RPM last year, but he didn’t get to participate. I’m really hoping he can do it this year.)

RPM Challenge
Matt Gauger has posted photos of his guitar gear before, so when I commented on one of his photos, he mentioned the RPM Challenge, which is to record an album in one month. I’m in…
I’ve been recording songs and publishing them online for about a year now, and there’s even a category for them called audio (and yes, you can subscribe to it.) All in all I’ve been playing and recording for over 20 years, but there have been gaps in that where I went many years without recording anything at all. This will be a nice “forced creativity” project for me.
I still need to install iLife ’08 for the latest GarageBand, but I’ll also be using Logic Pro 8 and the recording studio at Z2.
Since my songs tend to be less than 2 minutes, I will estimate that I need to record about 20 songs during February. I plan to collaborate a bit with the kids, and… well, whoever else happens to be around when I’m recording. It should be interesting… :)
