These are my recordings – music I’ve composed or covered. Please have a listen! Please leave comments! I can’t get better if you don’t tell me what you like and don’t like, what works and what doesn’t.<\/p>\n

What is Aleph0<\/sub>?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Aleph0 is the first cardinal of infinity, the countable numbers. One example of these would be the integer set. Aleph0<\/sub> is a transfinite number<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What is the Null Set?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The empty set; the null set is a set with no contents.<\/p>\n

So, what is Aleph0<\/sub> and the Null Set<\/strong><\/h4>\n

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 and an individual tune as well; hope you like them.<\/p>\n

If you create your own music, I’d love to hear it – either email me with a web link or send me a cassette or CD please.<\/p>\n

What do I use to make music<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I used to use a bevy of synths and processing bits: Casio CZ-101, Kawai K5, Yamaha FB01, Cheetah M6, Roland MKS-30, Akai S612, 2 Ensoniq Mirages, and a Yamaha TX16W sampler; I also built and used a PAIA FatMan synth, and I also had some drum boxes: Yamaha RX21 and EMR-1, Roland TR727. Bile<\/strong> and Digital Sequenced Ballet<\/strong> were recorded on 4-track cassette, a Fostex X-15. When I moved to California I dumped all that after living in a one bedroom apartment for a year and went all-digital. Starting with the album Entrata<\/strong>, I use a Mac Pro with Apple’s Logic Pro software, and a bevy of plugins, electric guitar and voice (well, I can’t sing so I’m playing with Vocaloids and other voice synths…).<\/p>\n

What’s next<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I’m working on my next album, tentatively titled Corpus Oceani, and you can follow progress on SoundCloud.<\/p>\n
