POPSThe Shape of Music The shapes of the space of chords we have described also reveal deep connections between a wide range of musical genres. It turns out that superficially different styles--Renaissance music, classical and Romantic music, jazz, rock, and other popular forms--all make remarkably similar use of the geometry of chord space. Traditional techniques for manipulating musical scales turn out to be closely analogous to those used to connect individual chords. And some composers have displayed a profound understanding of the higher-dimensional geometry of musical chords. In fact, one can argue that Romantic composers such as Chopin had an intuitive feel for non-Euclidean higher-dimensional spaces that exceeded the explicit understanding of their mathematical contemporaries.

POPSSound Art Concert in Second Life That concept is anathema to the listening rules of classical music, where the music is understood as the sum of its movements. The audience at a traditional concert has a static relationship to sound. They quietly sit for a discrete amount of time, immersed in a bath of sound waves, as physically passive receivers of music. Sound art is not quite so static, and this is why the Philharmonic’s performance was more installation than classical performance. During the Second Life concert, avatars listened while removing their clothing, gyrating in the aisles, conversing with other concert-goers, or reading newspapers. As in all installation art, part of the point for the Second Life show was that the audience and its antics were an integral part of the performance, changing the way that the music was heard and experienced.

POPSCanadians soon to pay taxes on legal music downloads Yes.. so let's punish the people who are legally downloading our content.. that'll make them want to continue to do so... You know what? Forget it. I'm going back to pirating my music. I've been paying for Napster pretty much since it was avaialbe in Canada as a legal service. And yes, the tax would only amount to a few cents a month, but that's not the point. Your punishing me, your loyal client. And that excuse about Oh, i may make a copy fo rmy {device anme}. Is BS. I PAY EXTRA ALREADY to legally copy these tunes to my mp3 players..($15/moth for the to-go service as opposed to $10/month). FUCK YOU RECORDING INDUSTRY! You won't get another cent from me until you smarten the fuck up. And I thought will all the big labels starting to switch to DRM-Free, that you might have gotten a clue... The funny thing is that apparently CRIA (our version of RIAA) may have been in opposition to this tax...

POPSListening to radios will now get you fined Enough is enough! When will the music industry understand that we, the people, listening to their trashy music keep them in business. If this is how they want to treat their customers, or potential customers, it is time we use our customer rights and simply have nothing to do with them. Their attitudes and backward business models will put them on the road to extinction - not soon enough.
