Opposable Thumbs

Time Based Improvisation


Listen Later

No guest this week! Taylor and Rob keeping it... real? real loose and jazzy, maybe. If you're interested in Ken Burns' very interesting hairstyle, the toothbrush mustache, protanopia and "the Amen break" you've come to the right podcast.

We dive into creating and sequencing music with images, random number generation and software defined radios (SDRs). We also veer off into science fiction, topo maps, and lockpicking!

Check out our project photos, videos and more at http://projects.opposablepodcast.com
