@JoCo: I am following you on Twitter, but only with RSS. At the moment I do not have a cell. Also I do not have a cell phone. I do however have a Facebook toolbar that gives me updates when friends update their status, so I don’t know if you’re hardcore into Facebook or not, but that’s always an option.

@Roman: yeah, I’d love to be able to plan ahead, but my life doesn’t always work that way. If you’ve got a phone with text messaging, sign up and follow me on twitter and you’ll hear about it as soon as I know it’s happening.

I would really like to see the finished work. Can’t wait for it.

Oh, before I forget: Please check your e-mail for something from “mitcjase”, JoCo. It’s really amazing. (assuming he even reads these comments =( )

“Sobachatina Says:
The music does sound like it would feel at home on Mr. Rogers.”

Johnny Costa (pianist for the show) did, indeed, rock! Or, would one say he “jazzed”?

I’m getting a real Super Mario 3, world 3 vibe out of it so far (I’ve just had time to listen to the last 10 minutes of the last session). It’ll be interesting to see where it ends up!

I showed this to my wife and she reminded me that Lady Aberlin is the name of the character on Mister Rogers in the land of make believe. She often wore a Muumuu. The music does sound like it would feel at home on Mr. Rogers.

Any time in particular you plan on recording, just so I don’t have to stalk your stream page, it would be nice to get a general time plan thing, or not, either way.

Shruti, I know what you mean, it felt to me like it was kinda invasive. But hey, the music made up for that:)

By: Shruti

Shruti — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 23:42:20 +0000

Awesome, it’s working, thanks.
Although I feel more than a little creepy watching you; I haven’t actually watched any of these in-a-bubble things before.

@Shruti: Sorry, I had the wrong link in there. Try it now…

By: Jon Who

Jon Who — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 22:31:11 +0000

Damn, the thing wasn’t lying, sorry for the double post and repeated comment.

Although now I guess it’s a triple post…

Jon Who — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 22:30:26 +0000

I suddenly feel rather upset, if he does another session tommorow (*sp) there is no way I can watch the live stream, unless during the entire day I carry my laptop around with headphones plugged in ….:’(

Shruti-maybe someone else just used your name?

By: Shruti

Shruti — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 22:29:40 +0000

So apparently you need to be registered in order to watch said clips.
So I try to register.
And it says an account with under my email already exists.
So then I go to “forgot your username?” and enter my email address.
And it tells me no account exists with said email address.
This is quite the predicament, especially since I myself don’t remember whether such an account exists or not.

More! You have to finish the song. Don’t just leave us hanging! (How lucky for you that “bearded” rhymes with “weirded”, eh?)

That can be arranged, Matt… but do you REALLY want me to arrange it?

By: Matt Walton

Matt Walton — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 21:13:12 +0000

His appearance is quite disturbing, but I’m sure he’ll assure you that he’s harmless enough.

Hurrah for pronoun confusion!

Also, hurrah for JC doing his recording live on the web. I find the process interesting and I wish I had half the musical talent in his little finger.

I wonder if that desk is from…

IKEA?

Man, your studio looks a bit like an underground cave. Or is that your lair?

I’m watching this in music class. I have no idea what my music teacher will think; _I’M_ the one who’s supposed to be composing

My favorite part so far was the exciting search for the guitar tuner.

Man. I don’t know what he just did but he sure sounds excited.

No, I heard him say “mommy” too.

By: Erik Cooper

Erik Cooper — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 19:01:35 +0000

Did he say “mommy” a minute ago, or was that my craziness being imposed upon his words?

By: Dave Lifton

Dave Lifton — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 19:00:41 +0000

Actually, he’s not that short. It’s just that I’m rather tall…

By: Jon Who

What I’ve heard so far seems to sound like waiting music, which I think is sooo cool!

Smart and short, and bearded and nearsighted, the Boy From Park Slope goes recording…

It sounds very maritime, doesn’t it?
Or perhaps it’s just old associations from Majora’s Mask being brought back again. Either way, I’m happy.

I have to admit that I had to look up Bossa Nova:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bossa_nova

I’ve heard the style but I didn’t know it had a name. It’s very relaxing but still fun.
