It seems like math and music is not always a winning combination: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZazYFchLRI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZazYFchLRI (Metastasis) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yge7GNl5p_k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yge7GNl5p_k (Psappha) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XroZgeGOdys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XroZgeGOdys (Terretektorh)
- Isamu 16y agoHe came to CMU in the 80's and I got to see him "perform" one of his works - more like a live mix. Shortly after that I bought an album of his at a used record store - I couldn't believe I found it, he seemed very obscure to me. Anyway, if any of you have my album, I want it back. Serious.
