SeventhSwami @ LoveTech (02-27-10)

I am thrilled to announce that i will be playing at the LoveTech SF on February 27th!

The LoveTech peeps challenged me to bring my A-game to this one, so I’ll be delivering a a crafty selection of my latest productions, and serving it to you on a silver platter. And by that i mean “in full live-PA trim.” Seven channels of all-original material, mixed live, straight from my heart to yours…

If you catch one Swami set this year, this should be the one. Not only do you get an earful of whatever i got going, you get to experience Pance Party, Ample Mammal and Rich DDT (and celebrate Rich’s birthday!), enjoy some of Il Pirata’s great eats, and experience the LearnTech PlayShops … a chance to interact and discuss music  technology with the musicians and tech-artisans themselves.

Full Details are as follows:

$8, 21+

Frontline: Digital Nation

Sick today… in between naps i happened to catch this episode of Frontline that very closely mirrors my hopes and concerns over the effect that the digital age is having on us. Like many of us, i find myself straddling both sides of the issues i choose to be passionate about. While I worry about how the multitasking generation’s minds are being affected for the worse, i have also helped companies push their 21st-century learning agendas… While condemning the internet for completely overhauling my memory and the ways i process information, I celebrate it’s existence every day with my complete admitted addiction to being plugged in. Are we doing ourselves a disservice? or merely evolving?

It covers everything from the education system to video games to virtual operations in the military. If you are in the mood for something ominous, hopeful and thought-provoking this evening, i highly recommend giving this one a shot.

(total running time 1h 26m 13s)

What if…

What if suddenly you woke up in bed, in an unfamiliar body? And your whole life up until right now had just been a dream? And then what if it only took a few minutes for you to forget the dream entirely and remember your other life and go on as if nothing had happened? And then what if you found out that this is what happens to your consciousness every time you die or fall asleep? And then you realized that ALL life is merely one large manifold-consciousness choosing to view itself from different angles relative to itself? And then you realized that this is how a relative universe can coexist with and within a singularity?
