Episode 178 Chapter 37, Contemporary Software and Synthesis. Works Recommended from my book, Electronic and Experimental Music  Welcome to the Archive of Electronic Music. This is Thom Holmes. This podcast is produced as a companion to my book, Electronic and Experimental Music, published by Routledge. Each of these episodes corresponds to a chapter in the text and an associated list of recommended works, also called Listen in the text. They provide listening examples of vintage electronic works featured in the text. The works themselves can be enjoyed without the book and I hope that they stand as a chronological survey of important works in the history of electronic music. Be sure to tune-in to other episodes of the podcast where we explore a wide range of electronic music in many styles and genres, all drawn from my archive of vintage recordings. There is a complete playlist for this episode on the website for the podcast.

Drawn by the sounds of the sitar, Hans immersed himself in Indian classical music as his Sadhana, navigating the challenges of learning a new musical language and cultural differences.

The great Gene Meyer (@genemeyelol on the socials) of Bandit fame returns to the pod to discuss Vernon the Company Man. We get literary with some associations to Kerouac, Ginsberg, Arthur Miller, but we even it out with jokes about PRimus shirts being more effective than chastity belts. This tune is certainly a unique departure in terms of this record, but also for Claypool in general, thanks to excellent tabla and sitar provided by Mike Dillon and Gabby La La, respectively.

Since the 1940's, Lake Trout have been extinct in all of the Great Lakes except Lake Superior. Pressure from commercial fishing as well as the invasion of sea lamprey devastated this native species, and the population in Lake Superior also suffered. For three generations an international team of scientists has been working to restore healthy Lake Trout populations in all the Great Lakes. In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with Shawn Sitar, Fisheries Research Biologist with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to update the status of Lake Trout in Lake Superior.Key Takeaways:Shawn Sitar explains his deep connection to Lake Superior, describing it as his hometown and emphasizing its pristine, natural state.He outlines how Lake Superior stands out among the Great Lakes - not only as the largest by surface area but also as the deepest - making it a unique ecosystem.The episode details the historical collapse of lake trout populations due to overfishing and invasive species, and highlights the international recovery efforts led by the Great Lakes Fishery Commission.Shawn discusses the three-prong approach to lake trout recovery: suppression of sea lampreys, controlled fishing, and hatchery stocking.He also addresses the challenges posed by climate change and evolving research techniques, emphasizing the need for long-term monitoring and adaptive management.Notable Quotes:"I realized I look at Lake Superior as my hometown. I love that.""It is the largest lake on the earth in terms of surface area. So that's the statistics there. Lake Superior is also the deepest among the Great Lakes.""In fact, lake trout were extinct in all the Great Lakes except Lake Superior."“By the 1960s, if we look at Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario, the absence of lake trout, the top boss in the system, created a lot of havoc. And during that time period in the late 50s and 60s and 70s, there was another invasive called the alewife, which is a small oily fish from the Atlantic Ocean that came up. And it just basically boomed in the Great Lakes.""During my career working on Lake Superior and the Great Lakes, I've already seen surface temperatures increase from when I started till now. There's a lot of variation around it. And I think there's already research ongoing to assess the impact."Resources:Michigan Department of Natural Resources Website: https://www.michigan.gov/dnrGreat Lakes Fishery Commission Website: http://www.glfc.orgNational Parks of Lake Superior Foundation Website: https://nplsf.orgDocumentary “Fish Thief”: https://www.thefishthief.com/ Connect With Us:Website: https://nplsf.org/podcastFacebook: https://facebook.com/NPLSFSponsors:Cafe Imports: Supporting environmental sustainability in coffee-growing regions since 1993.

“The sex that I have now, both with myself and with others, is drastically different. The way I now sexually explore with my partner is a way that I've never been able to explore before. I now know what I need, what feels good, and how to actually ASK for it.” In this Client Spotlight Series interview, Nadine chats with one of her long-time clients, Marissa, who is a thriving professional in a heavily male-dominated industry. Marissa vulnerably opens up about her journey of owning and radiating her feminine energy in "a man's field" and how she's completely transformed her experience of dating, sex, self-pleasure, boundaries, and relationships. “It's changed everything. It changed the way I approach dating, sex, and even my job. It changed the way I feel about myself. If you're even remotely thinking about saying yes to Erotic Revival, just do it.” “I never thought I'd be able to feel these things. I now feel pleasure and safety in my pelvis and I never thought that I would. My pleasure has now doubled, if not more.” Nadine and Marissa also explore: • How to heal the sisterhood wound, thrive in female friendships, and let go of jealousy, competition, and cattiness • The vital importance of WHO you surround yourself with • How sexual healing has reignited her creativity, poetry, and erotic writing • Marissa's experience inside of Erotic Revival, and what it was like to openly learn about sexuality in a group setting • How to follow your highest excitement, inspiration, and interests • How to magnetize your people and start a community • How to be your authentic, radiant self and express your truth in a corporate/professional setting • Marissa's new approach to dating, dating apps, and boundaries • How to get clear on your values and nonnegotiables while dating, and stay connected to your self-worth & discernment • The courage to be rejected and disliked • The most important skill we can learn in sex, love, and intimacy • Marissa's real-life results after somatic sexual healing and how her sex life & self-pleasure have forever changed • How to know if Erotic Revival is right for you CONNECT WITH MARISSA: Marissa's Blog ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ CONNECT WITH NADINE: 1. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Register for the free class on December 20th: The Art of Full-Body Energy Orgasms ⚡ 2.

When life offers you a split in the road, which path will you choose? In Part 2 of our conversation with Anna Sitar—storyteller and digital creator—we explore the power of “Y Moments,” not “W-H-Y.” Anna shares how one bold decision led her from a stable career to a creative life she never imagined. She opens up about facing fear, taking risks, and embracing the unknown. And, of course, we had to know everything about how she trained for her triathlon. From preparing to her upcoming marathon to ditching toxic fitness culture, Anna shares her evolving health journey, unhealthy habits, and reflects on her first year of therapy. Anna's refreshingly honest take on wellness is a powerful reminder that you're running your own marathon, and it's all about progress, not perfection. Keep going at your pace—you've got this! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Success isn't about sticking to the blueprint. Life doesn't follow a set timeline. We encourage you to let go of rigid expectations and trust that things unfold when they're meant to. Wellness isn't just physical—it's mental, too. Anna's marathon training journey wasn't just about running—it was about building mental resilience and proving to herself she could do hard things. Start small—just one mile. Training for her first marathon, Anna reveals that even the toughest goals start with the smallest steps. It's all about consistency and mental resilience. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website: https://www.healsquad.com/ Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront OUAI: https://theouai.com/ use promo code: HEALSQUAD for 15% off Nanit: https://www.nanit.com/ use promo code: DREAM20 for 20% off your first order Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off    Anna Sitar's Resources Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annaxsitar/?hl=en  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@annaxsitar?lang=en  Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/theannaguide/?hl=en  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

In a world that rewards constant hustle, it's important to set boundaries and make time for self-care. By prioritizing your well-being, you're able to show up fully in every area of your life. Say yes to what makes your heart happy. Everyone needs to take bold leaps toward what excites them, even if the path seems uncertain. Sometimes the biggest risks lead to the most rewarding outcomes. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website: https://www.healsquad.com/ Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront OUAI: https://theouai.com/ use promo code: HEALSQUAD for 15% off Nanit: https://www.nanit.com/ use promo code: DREAM20 for 20% off your first order Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off    Anna Sitar's Resources Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annaxsitar/?hl=en  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@annaxsitar?lang=en  Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/theannaguide/?hl=en  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

Seit dem letzten Gespräch mit Christoph Sitar hat sich einiges getan.  Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest 3S, eXperience.together, Facebook Connect und vieles mehr.  Dabei ist Mixed Reality das Schlagwort. Eine völlig neue Experience, die uns Menschen ermöglicht, eine Verschmelzung der realen und der virtuellen Welt zu erfahren.  Die Möglichkeiten dieser Experience sind vielseitig. Industrieunternehmen, HR-Abteilungen, Shops, Prozessoptimierungen und viele weitere Bereiche werden in Zukunft davon profitieren.  Zusätzlich kann man mit Spannung in die Zukunft blicken, ob Smartglasses das Smartphone langfristig ersetzen werden und welche Antwort Apple auf die vorgestellten Glasses von Meta (ehemals Facebook) gibt. Im Podcast-Interview spricht Christoph Sitar mit Podcast-Host Robert Pacher über das Aufkommen von Mixed Reality, Use Cases, Smartglasses, Zukunftsszenarien und vieles mehr. ⬇️ **Christoph Sitar** Geschäftsführer MEDIASQUAD

I recently had to ask a (just about) stranger to watch my self-pleasure practice for a professional Somatic Sexology certification that I'm currently enrolled in. The experience was vulnerable, raw, intimate, beautiful, empowering, edgy, un-shaming, and healing on levels I didn't know I needed. I experienced a deep sense of sisterhood, solidarity, reclamation, and normalization. It was an opportunity to be witnessed in one of the most exposed, "private," and vulnerable states that humans can be in, and to experience what it's like to be lovingly witnessed with zero performance, goals, destinations, or expectations. I felt the remnants of childhood shame physically leaving my body. I felt my nervous system expand its capacity for pleasure and safety. I felt the divinity and normalcy of human sexuality on even deeper levels. In this potent and vulnerable solo episode, I share about the experience, my top 4 lessons and takeaways, and my personal suggestions and recommendations for reigniting your own connection with your pleasure, body, and eroticism.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Kobra Paige over Zoom video!Kobra Paige releases the title track “Like No Other” off her debut solo album Like No Other to be released on August 30th. The title track, co-written with Lizzy Hale (Halestorm) and Joe Hottinger (Halestorm) alongside producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Halestorm, Alice In Chains) showcases the depth and soul behind the creation of the entire album.“Like No Other” was later completed by Kobra at producer Brian Howe's (Skillet, Daughtry, Linkin Park) Black Stove Studios in 2021 where the addition of Sitar was introduced. This paid tribute to a part of Kobra's upbringing which involved many years of seva (service), with her family, at an ashram in southern India.Kobra says, “This song is the heartbeat of the album and the distillation of what, I believe to be, life's journey. If I were to share my essence and experience of what I know about being human, in one song, this would be it. LNO speaks to the recognition of our mind, body, and spirit as the one ‘home' we truly have in this lifetime. We are its sacred keeper and there's no limit to the number of times we can rebuild or change its path.”Kobra shares, “As we move through this song, you will hear a sonic blend of worldly drums and Indian Sitar blended with the cozy Dobro and various acoustic and electric guitar layers. This is to express the beautiful paradox of our individuality in this world while simultaneously being plugged into the tapestry of a collective. The vocals are confident yet bare to the rawness of how lonely life can still feel, despite being surrounded by so many others. The ebb and flow of forward then backward motion, we experience all the time, is expressed and celebrated for the strength it takes to keep going through the adversities we face. In the pre-chorus, we have Fleetwood Mac-esque vocal layers, some company for a weary soul. Finally, the chorus holds the wisdom and the key. I speak of the very ancient wisdom of water and use its powerful metaphor as a beacon of remembrance to everyone. One of the most difficult parts of this life- journey is to surrender and cease resisting that which we can't control. To flow like water is a great aspiration as it patiently shapes things over time, does not force itself, and yet moves powerfully when needed. Finally, a gift for us all. An important affirmation deeply rooted in ‘enoughness' and truth. ‘I Am Like No Other'. You are the only one keeping you from yourself."Kobra Paige's release of single's has been the beginning of a new journey, all leading to the culmination, announcement and release of her forthcoming record. Through song and deliberate visuals, this body of work aims to encourage self-liberation without abandoning the world. Kobra believes music plays an integral role in connecting, elevating, and healing humanity.About Kobra PaigeKobra Paige is a Canadian artist creating through the medium of music and songwriting. She is the founder of the two-time, Juno-nominated hard rock band Kobra and the Lotus. Known for her multifaceted and emotionally driven writing, Kobra is currently gearing up for her forthcoming album, heavily focused on topics of social change. Kobra launched her new project with the rock track “Love What I Hate” which debuted at 40 on the Mediabase Active Rock Chart and has become her most-played rock song to date. Kobra followed that up with her single, “Thank You” which debuted at 35 on the Billboard Adult Pop Airplay Chart, debuted as the 4th most added song to the Hot AC charts at 36, and held Top 40 for 10 weeks on both the Billboard Adult Pop and Mediabase Hot AC.We want to hear from you!

SpotifyBorn in San Luis Potosí, but of Franco-Mexican origins, Leonardo grew up with a bicultural education and exposed to music since the age of 5.He studied classical guitar from the age of 10 to 14, when he moved to Punjab, India to finish his high school studies.

On the show this time, it's the avant-garde sitar of Anoushka Shankar. Anoushka Shankar is a master musician, as well as being a composer and producer. She studied with her famous father - Ravi Shankar - who had a smaller instrument made for his 7 year old daughter. She made her professional debut at thirteen, and over the years she has reinvented sitar music, playing with musicians from various genres, cultures and geographies, looking for new situations and contexts to use its inimitable voice. As she puts it, she “de-exotified” the Sitar. Flamenco, hip hop, jazz, and cinematic scores are all fair game. Her latest record, the first of a trilogy is called 'Chapter 1: FOREVER, FOR NOW.'
