I'm indebted to Deviant Synth for news of the Phantastmatron tube synth kit. It's a relatively simple $195 build-it-yourself kit to build a complex playable tube oscillator, based on WWII era Navy radar circuitry. The kit illustrated by a series of increasingly awesome videos: Building the circuit board, playing with a ribbon controller, and - seen on the right - processing voice.

This is a terrific thing to look into for a friend or relative as well. Maybe your child or your spouse wants to learn guitar but you don't want it to put a financial bind on your bank account. Remember one small fee, for one large incredible package! Its well worth it in the long run!

When a person begins to play music by ear, he must not be too particular about the results. One begins by getting the overall effect and then gradually refines the rendition. Indeed, no one ever plays as well by ear as he would like to; but neither do the note players ever play as well as they would like to.

Playing any instrument by ear is a wonderful skill; it can begin quite simply. Play piano by ear by listening to simple tunes many times over. Hear your favorite recordings over and over. Try to think them all the way through in your mind's ear. Better still, try to sing them or whistle them.

Having good pianoforte technique is essential for the beginner, and for all standards up to concert pianist level. Keeping the fingers nimble and spry and adequately exercised is one of the foundation requirements to playing the piano well! Some swear by strict technical exercises in order to promote fine musicianship, where others eschew them in favour of a more liberal style.

Gunning for the worst pun in rap music's history and Nelly's sing-songy radio friendly lane, Flo Rida is the latest rap artist rising from the southern rappers assembly line. Flo Rida's 2nd single, "Low", has been a huge success, spending 10 weeks as the number 1 single in the United States. It seems like the first half of the album is doing its best to duplicate the hit with similar songs, with a remarkably low rate of success.

It's been a few months since Light From Above was released, the debut album by a young metal band, and when I say young - I mean high-school young, these guys are probably struggling to grow a beard. But these guys may be young, they may be signed to a major label, but there's nothing fashionable about their music.

The music, mostly from the 1950's and 1960's comprise the backbone of the traditional "classic gold" radio stations. Others may consider anything older than today as "oldies", but true oldies format refers to the golden age of rock and roll, 50's and 60's. The classic golden oldies probably extend until about 1964, when the Beatles "invaded" the US.

Producing music and making my own beats is something that has been a passion of mine for many years now.
