The Pilgrimage of Thingamuhjig: a drum odyssey
I just finished producing and writing two tracks on double-bass drumming master Jeff Bowders‘ debut project, The Pilgrimage of Thingamuhjig. Jeff is an incredibly creative drummer, the author of a few instructional DVD’s (Double Bass Drumming: The Mirrored Groove System, Double Bass Drumming Workshop, and Essential Drumkit Fills) as well as an active session and touring drummer (most notably with Paul Gilbert and a host of others), and a teacher at Musicians Institute in Hollywood, CA.
The two tracks I contributed to Jeff’s project are unique to the project. While the majority of the album is pretty hard-driven rock and drumming virtuosity, Nothing Creates Nothing is an ambient excursion, somewhat inspired by Peter Gabriel’s most recent album, but with a very interesting Jojo Mayer-style drum part overlaid. The other, Jocean – The Arrival, is an apocalyptic orchestral piece with Jeff’s drums driving the orchestra.
Million dollar actually useful AI idea: airplane toilets that sense when you’re really finished before they flush.
Help: trying to resuscitate a 2011-era MacBook Air. Charger shows green. Hitting the power button shows minimal charge. Already tried resetting PMC and PRAM. What else is there to do?

Why is AI trying to sing before it can do my taxes? Surely there is more money to be saved/made in replacing our accountants before our artists?!
This is promising and a good first step, but there’s so much more to do. And many loopholes ahead.
Wow. A treasure trove of lost #MarvinGaye material, which poses some interesting legal questions:
