Welcome. Restoring a meaningful web presence has been at the top of a long list for a very long time. Most of the material from soundzimpossible.com has been reassembled here while all of that site's flashy funk has been subdued in favor of clarity and ease of access. There is, I think, some pretty cool stuff here collected and created over roughly the last fifteen years of my involvement with music at many different levels. The focus of this site (which hopefully can convincingly unite its diverse elements) is the power of music as catalyst and engine for fundamental human change.

In developing musicovermind.org, I wanted to get on the blog bandwagon (late as I am) but, of course, couldn't bite the bullet to deal with the whole blogspot program. So, this window will be devoted to making my point as often as it needs to be made. In terms of new content, listen to the interviews with Matt Shipp and John Gilmore, neither of which have been public before. (Apologies in advance for the poor sound quality of the Gilmore interview.) I've also posted a chapter I wrote for Live Movies, a textbook on new media in performance assembled by my friends Gail Scott White and Kirby Malone. "Six is Nine, Now What?" is the closest thing I've written to a manifesto in a while, so if you're a manifesto-kind-of-person, please check it out. Both of the ensembles I'm working with are represented here and there's ample sonic evidence of what we've been doing. There's a link to Terrence McKenna's "Understanding and the Imagination in the Light of Nature". I've been using this lecture by the late philosopher of time and consciousness with some of my classes and consider it along with Toni Morrison's Beloved and the Autobiography of Malcolm X to be one of the most impactful things I have ever read. Also in the links, you can check-out the New York chapter of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Music whose member George Lewis has just published an incredibly rich book on this seminal organization. The most important way that this site differs from all my previous music-related pages is the conspicuous "donation" button tucked in the margin to the left. Please follow the link below to see what that's all about.
