My latest post for NoTreble is on the math behind music – I love this stuff. To me it is so cool to see the elegance in the mathematics behind what we perceive as music. Obviously there are a lot of non-mathematical emergent properties that are a part of our perception and experience with music and enjoyment, but there is still something beautiful in the underlying mathematical structure. Here’s the article – enjoy!

So this is what I get for not paying full enough attention to things. I just learned today that two of my articles for NoTreble (the Zen of Ear Training Parts 1 & 2) are two of the “Top Posts” for DiscMaker’s Blog! To say the least, I’m thrilled! Part 1 definitely got more comments, but it’s a huge honor for me to have both be so popular. 2009 was good for my NoTreble writing as well – “Building Dexterity on the Bass” was my most popular lesson and I wrote the most popular gear-watch article 
Here are the links!

This was by far one of the coolest music-things I’ve ever done – I had an exclusive 20 minute interview with Stanley Clarke before his Return To Forever show in Cleveland. He is a brilliant musician and one of my personal heroes – to say the least I was beside myself with excitement getting to meet him. The show was absolutely stellar – I didn’t stop grinning for a week after this

I recently did another CD review for NoTreble – this time I got to check out John Patitucci’s “Remembrance.” To say the least I was blown away, Patitucci is such a diverse and agile player, the sounds he is able to get from his trio are awesome. Check out the album and be sure to check out my review!
