We start off discussing the new Rock Band, it's more "realistic" controllers and then move onto other things while trying not to be distracted by the phantom interference. nbsp;Music is Dictaphone's Lament by Tycho.

Panelist: Ben Shewmaker, Larry Moore,nbsp;Fred De Sena,

Despite talking with Larry on his Cell Phone as he drops in and out, we had an interesting discussion this week about music we like, music we like even though we'renbsp;embarrassednbsp;about it, music we didn't know we'd like, and other random topics. nbsp;Music is Ulrich Schnauss Nobody's Home.

Panelist: Ben Shewmaker, Larry Moore,nbsp;Fred De Sena, Adam Sheppard, Alessandra Salvatti, Matt Taylor, Bruce Johnston, Liza Seigido

This episode we briefly talk about what we've been up to, speak with some students at the University of Miami, and then after losing the UM folks due to a dead battery on Larry's laptop, Fred, Adam, and Ben speculate on our futures, custom built FM transmitters, and other off topics goodies. nbsp;Music is Fandango by Bajofondo Tango Club.

Panelist: Ben Shewmaker, Larry Moore, Fred De Sena, Adam Sheppard

A recent disagreement between Adam and a professor sparks our topic for this week on the aesthetics of electronic music (or perhaps music in general).nbsp; Music this week is Mozart's Harp/Flute Concerto in C, K.299, 3rd movement.

Panel: Ben Shewmaker, Adam Sheppard, Larry Moore

I swear we had a topic this week, I really do.nbsp; And I think it even had something to do with the Super Collider 140 project.nbsp; In fact, the intro and outro music is from that project.nbsp; (intro is track # 13, out is track #5).nbsp; But somewhere in between those two pieces we got lost.nbsp; So forgive us if we end up rambling.

We begin this week with some questions about Foobar2000's Spectogram.nbsp; There are corresponding images for that question here.nbsp; Then we go into the many interesting adventures of Adam in his incredibly busy quest at Standford (see Adam swallow a mic too).nbsp; Endingnbsp; music is Music from Mathematics.

Panel: Ben Shewmaker, Adam Sheppard

I ask our resident audio engineer about some audible interference I was getting in my setup at home and find out all about ground loops.nbsp; Ending music is Trucker's Delight by Flairs.

Panel: Ben Shewmaker, Dr. Larry Moore, Dr. Fred DeSena

We start this week discussing electronic music pedagogy and mostly stay on topic, at least for a while.nbsp; Music this week is titled "8 Bit Shower", but my computer doesn't want to render the text of the artist correctly so they shall remain unknown for the time being.

Panel: Ben Shewmaker, Dr. Fred De Sena, Larry Moore

This week we're talking about our back story a bit.nbsp; How did we get to where we are?nbsp; And as always we end up off topic a bit talking about other things including a bit of the history of the record industry.nbsp; Outro music this week is "No Man's Land" by Tangerine Dream.

Panelist: Ben Shewmaker, Larry Moore, Adam Sheppard, Dr. Fred De Sena

This episode we mention the new hardware and software we've been playing with, then discuss how we each 'get in the zone', or when we are our most productive.nbsp; Outro music this week is Wired but Disconnected
