Aleph Naught and the Null Set

What is Aleph₀
Aleph₀ is the first cardinal of infinity, the countable numbers. One example of these would be the integer set.

What is the Null Set
The empty set; the null set is a set with no contents.

So, what is Aleph₀ and the Null Set?
It is the name for my musical work. I of course am the only member of the band except for a couple of computers and instruments. It has elements of ethnic/world music, techno, dance, and progressive rock/jazz fusion. Now that web space is so inexpensive I've posted my two CDs:

Who is Aleph Naught and the Null Set?

Its Bob Hays, now a resident of Chicago.

What do I use to Make Music?

My major synths are: Casio CZ-101, Kawai K5, Yamaha FB01, Cheetah M6, Roland MKS-30; I also built and use a PAIA FatMan synth. I have an Akai S612, two Ensoniq Mirages and a Yamaha TX16W samplers. I also have some drum boxes: Yamaha RX21 and EMR-1, Roland TR727.

I now use my desktop and laptop computers for mixdown.

I got a PC from Gateway 2000 which runs Sonar which I use as my composition environment now. I just got GarageBand for my Apple Powerbook so I can make music when I travel.

What's next?
A new CD, of course! This time, I hope to add some Drum & Bass influences (that seems to be what I'm listening to right now).
