New Music Strategies

My motivation for setting up this blog has been building for weeks but the final straw came from reading Andrew Dubber's post "Do I really have to blog?" on the New Music Strategies site.
It seems that, apart from being a necessity for new bands like my own Audition Laboratory, this could be a good way to disseminate information about my research in Computer Audition as well asinspire ideas for how I can continue to work in the world of music / semantics / web / jive talking once I get my Ph.D from UCSD.

Also, maybe my mum will read it.

Ignorance,
Confusion,
Derision,
Dismissal,
Envy,
Appreciation and,
Adoption,
and finally become a full-blown blogger.
