Charles Mingus said jazz was a word invented to separate musicians from their money. Music for a Free World brings us together, drawing listeners to the healing power of smooth free jazz. Each week, surprise guests bring their own sides to spin and their instruments of choice to spontaneously jam.

Max was named after Max Mathews by Miller S. Puckette. The real-time extension MSP was named after Puckette by David Zicarelli. Not sure who will name the next round after DZ (I don't know his middle initial, hope it's not E or I)

This is amazing

@fred ohh. i always wondered what MSP meant lol
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:34pm

Miller Puckette's office is almost right above mine, I see him quite often but never talked with him. I don't know what to say to such a legend
  3:42pm

@fred Im sure like a one-off "i love your work" or something could go far

Ha! Not here, man, IRCAM is often very hierarchical, addressing someone as a mere technician is frowned upon, though I have good relations with some composers

A research institute where Max was created. That you never heard about it explains the importance of rank: the lower the stakes, the more venomous the fights
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:00pm
fred:

↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:50
I guess I shouldn't have taken the bait.
I get talked to by composers when I'm useful. I have nothing to bring to a guy like Puckette

tom tom the pipers son:

↳ fred @4:00
i was imagining the look on your face....it sounds like people's *feelings* are pretty low priority at ircam.... it's hierarchy sounds almost napoleonic ... was he the one that founded IRCAM?

Pierre Boulez did (100th birthday celebration this year, they're milking that for money, though he's dead)
Never talked to him, but looked cool: I once saw him ignore the director for a while to talk with the cleaning crew about their work conditions while the boss was nervously pacing. An empty power move, but fun to watch

@tom tom the pipers son oh of course. Thank you for your empathy.

yes i was just joking comparing it to legal system...etc.
yes that's a great anecdote about boulez

But spot on with Napoleon and Boulez in a way. Boulez believed in everybody being exactly equal. As in equally beneath him

It's cool. Plenty of weird people (contemporary classical composers are way weirder than punks), extremely convenient location to go to shows after work.
Plus doesn't nerdy water cooler talk about obscure music stuff beat crypto meme coins? The pay sucks, but I love it

but as Elvis Costello entitled an album as such in the early 80s, the kinks calling an album that now would be taking liberties.
