Blogger Jennifer Tse has been reporting on the diverse buskers
playing in the Toronto Transit Commission - TTC. Featured this week was Black Santa, aka Jeff Burke, a professional bassoonist who's been playing in the TTC for 20 years and added the theremin to his act this year. Jeff, is now not just the only subway bassoonist but the the only known subway thereminist in Toronto.
Merging his diverse music experience with the holiday song book resulted in Jeff's album
Black Santa.
We'll need to keep an ear out for those aether tones among the clicking hooves of Santa's raindeer up on the roof!

Their latest production is the new Live At Moog video series produced in partnership with Paste Magazine. A visit to the Moog Factory in Asheville, North Carolina is almost a spiritual pilgrimage for many bands and their one time only performances at the factory along with new songs, behind-the-scenes footage, and inside info. from each band are being recorded for this new series.
Live at Moog can be viewed at www.pastemagazine.com/moog and www.liveatmoog.com. A new session in the series will debut on Paste's homepage every week and already includes Yo La Tengo, Matisyahu and White Rabbit. Now all they need is a thereminist to round it out!
Keep On Mooging!

After seeing creative solo uses of the cell phone in electronic music making by Bora Yoon who shared Armen's NYC concert, TW's own DiggyDog, and thousands of private folks who've downloaded various iPhone music applictaions, it was only a matter of time before some formal ensembles should form around the mobile phone witting their own software for it.
The Stanford Mobile Phone Orchestra (MoPhO) had a concert last week which got a write up in the New York Times. "Then the musicians began to swing their arms in wide circles,
creating rising and falling waves of electronic sound…" - New York Times review of Dec. 3 concert with video.
The Michigan Mobile Phone Ensemble, at the University of Michigan, has a concert tomorrow night. They are performing original works on existing and original software using every feature of the iPhone from the mic and touch screen to internals like GPS, wireless sensor, and accelerometer.
