Most productive musician of all

Dear All! Friends. Your humble servant Greg Zeroin is here again. Tonight I will talk with another mind blowing character in music, Teave Perdock. Teave, you told me that there is one aspect of creating music in which you are most likely ahead of anyone ever made music. Is that correct? T Greg, you know, I do not like to brag about this, but yes, I do work a lot. And what is perhaps more, I do finish things. A lot of things. G Yeah, a lot. When did you realize that you might be better in this aspect of creation than most everyone else? T Well, I started out like everyone else, you know. Struggling with finishing up my ideas into completed pieces. At some point in time I realized that for every project that I was able to finish I had about a hundred unfinished ones laying around. And I said to myself, see, this will not fly. And I started to study how to finish things and how to finish them efficiently. G And you’ve learned a lot. T I have learned and I am still learning.

But I am not convinced that it is their fault entirely. When you look at it closely, you realize that the whole system of music presentation and distribution is biased or even blatantly geared towards putting the musician behind the storefro...

How self-listening musical albums work?

Hello Sci-fi Music followers, Greg Zeroin here with more tech news. The following update is a response to our readers request. We recently published an interview with Rob Ottman from SLR Inc. Even though Mr. Ottman did a wonderful job telling us about self-listening technologies, our readers started to bombard us with requests for more details. Mr. Ottman was kind enough to pass it on to the SLR development team and one of the lead engineers, Nick Almeca took upon the task of giving us more information. Since we could not arrange for an interview, Nick sent us this information in an email, which I just copied here in its entirety. “Hi there Greg, greetings to all Sci-fi Music readers. We’re grateful for the opportunity to tell you more about our inventions. As I understand, your readers were most interested in the background mechanism of a self-listening album. I hope I can clarify some of the details. Once such an album is released, a macro gets activated in it. In the first step thi...
