  • If You’re Happy and You Know It

    If You’re Happy and You Know It

    The next time I’m annoyed with the world, I’m going to try and remember to stop what I’m doing and watch this video. And if I’m still annoyed, I’m going to take a page from John Cage and listen to it again. Just a couple from Iowa (married for 62 years!) having a little fun […]

    Plot Device, Part II

    Kinda what I think of when I think about creativity. [via]

    Playground Bullies (Musician Edition)

    I was lucky enough to have some great teachers growing up, but Vi Hart (mathemusician!) takes the cake (again). What is up with Noises? (The Science and Mathematics of Sound, Frequency, and Pitch) Now then, when is recess? [via]

    Love the One You’re With, A Reflection

    Colin Holter posed a question in his post this morning on NewMusicBox that I’d like to consider here as well: We can agree that it is thought that the patrons of classical music in the United States are old and getting older. That’s the conventional wisdom. So let me ask you this: Have you ever […]

  • Navigating the Brave New World

    Navigating the Brave New World

    I was a late convert to the e-reader. Yet once I got going,  its 24/7 ready-access to the world of literature at the click of a button made me an easy candidate for seduction. Lately, however, I have been getting lost in the Amazon Kindle Store, the victim of too many choices shelved on a […]

    Something Lovely This Way Comes

    There will be some actual content from me later in the week, but meanwhile I’ll let Jan Swafford write the new music jokes and handle the analysis. Plus! Something beautiful I just saw on the internet: [via]

  • This Is Only a Commercial

    This Is Only a Commercial

    My patience level doesn’t often allow me to get terribly engaged in online video of much length. That said, this fun little production piece, designed to showcase a bit of video editing software, didn’t lose me for even a second. For those trying to enjoy the holiday weekend without an excess of online distraction, I […]

  • The Devil In the Details

    The Devil In the Details

    I’m pretty sure I’ve met this person once or twice in my line. Another brilliant bit of observation from xkcd . Check out the full comic here. Very much worth it, I promise. Totally unrelated to the above, aside from the “detail” angle, those who are confused by the intersection of art and fair use […]

  • Video Vacation

    Video Vacation

    At first I though it would be a bit much for me to feature yet another new Kutiman video here on MTG, but it’s so lovely and I don’t want anyone to miss it, so here it is. This time, rather than mine the messy treasure trove that we call YouTube, he uses clips of […]
