For the launch of my new podcast, I'll be posting recordings of several lectures. Here is a class I taught last year on the connections between Buddhism and critical theory. For more info, you can check out the Buddhism section of the blog. ]]>

I made this in 1994, shortly after Cobain’s death. The music playing in the background is Unrest’s cover of “God Gave Rock’n’Roll to You,” originally performed by Kiss.

Plink2006-03-03T08:16:53Z2004-08-26T03:49:04Ztag:www.tedfriedman.com,2004:/tedcast/6.162004-08-26T03:49:04Ztedfhttp://tedfriedman.comted@tedfriedman.comaudio
A couple of years ago, I bought a Roland MC-505, also known as a “Groovebox.” It’s an all-in-one sequencer, drum machine, and synthesizer. It’s amazing because it completely divorces music-making from physical dexterity - just press a key, push the “arpeggiator” button, and a single note becomes a complex riff. I started composing little ambient grooves. Here’s “Plink,” recorded 11/20/00.
