		<title>MY NEW MAFIA BANJO</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I needed an upgrade on my banjo, so I headed over to Mandolin Brothers on Staten Island (Staten Island &#8211; not the first place you&#8217;d imagine a folk instrument store to be). After a few hours of trying banjos, I &#8230; <a href="http://www.echobloom.com/2011/12/12/my-new-mafia-banjo/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>CLOSING THOUGHTS &#8211; JAMBOREE AND AUGUST SANDER</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The head of the design team at Topspin mentioned that there happened to be an exhibition of August Sander&#8217;s &#8216;People of the Twentieth Century&#8217; at the Getty, so I spent the majority of my Saturday wandering around rediscovering the project. &#8230; <a href="http://www.echobloom.com/2008/09/07/closing-thoughts-jamboree-and-august-sander/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>THE JAMBOREE SESSIONS MIXING DIARY</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On May 17th, Scotty O&#8217;Toole and I spent about 11 hours editing and mixing Jamboree. Disclaimer &#8211; I did my best to document the experience as accurately as possible, but in the intervening time between mixdown and writing my journal &#8230; <a href="http://www.echobloom.com/2008/05/23/the-jamboree-sessions-mixing-diary/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>VISUAL NOTATION &#8211; PART 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So this isn&#8217;t the first time I&#8217;ve attempted some type of graphical notation.  I had designs on this in my last project, and developed a type of compositional shorthand to represent different instrumentation ideas.  I was into it partly for &#8230; <a href="http://www.echobloom.com/2008/02/13/visual-notation-part-3/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now let&#8217;s look at some examples.  First off, we should note that the idea of music as being typically represented on a five-line staff is a pretty Western generalization &#8211; several wildly different systems of notation developed independently in other &#8230; <a href="http://www.echobloom.com/2008/02/12/visual-notation-part-2/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>VISUAL NOTATION &#8211; PART 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lately I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about the best ways to rehearse.  I&#8217;m fortunate to be playing with a group of musicians whose technical skills are far superior to mine &#8211; so when I enter a situation, if I can &#8230; <a href="http://www.echobloom.com/2008/02/11/hello-world/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
