Exactly HOW big is it ? Think carefully for a moment about: "All words ever spoken by human beings". E r, yeah. See Exabyte ! This table courtesy of Roy Williams at Caltech . A Connection to music? Yes; I like to make algorithmic music. My album "Loose" is all-agorithmic. I plan to use these in an upcoming song.

New Music from 1998
Only 20 years old - a mere spring chicken, here's - "Hair of the God" 1998 Music by Martin Lomas, words from "The Eye of the Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran as read by Johnny Cash. All of the guitar tracks were created by sampling my own work at half-speed. Why? Serendipity. I had some recordings of mine on cassette tape. These were made on the typical TASCAM PortaStudio unit (see below), which uses the tape at double-speed to improve quality. I wanted to revive them, and so planned to re-record them digitally, double the speed (since I no longer have a double-speed tape deck), and clean them up. But I got stuck at the half-speed stage. Some wonderful new sounds become available.
A Huge Welcome To A New Member: Terri
I am thrilled to report that the excellent and lovely Art Therapist, Terri , is pledging to support this whole effort. Really, she represents the first established artist to show support, and we could use it! I sometimes attend a therapy group she generously provides to us clients at Margaret's . Trust me, she has a lot to offer, and she's a very positive, graceful, and well-liked person. I truly am thrilled. Thanks, Terri, and WELCOME! Oh, there she is now ... Terri, Art Therapist
Premiere: Brand New Art
If you're the first one reading this (and, chances are, you are - so popular are we!), then you're only the third person, other than myself, to see it, ever. It's only just dried. This was another attempt to call mostly on the subconscious, and that typically means it's a fiery picture of me ... or is it? I sincerely believe it is also what you perceive. So, do me a solid (a favour), and post a comment telling me what you "got", if anything. And I hope you're not in as much trouble as me! Oh, and while you're at it - make me an offer; no reasonables refused. "Dandelion Eyes" - 2018 Martin Lomas 8" x 10", Acrylic & Watercolor & Flowers Two-stage process; (1) 'blind' background until satisfied (subject unknown), (1b) rough unknown outlines, (2) face' the music. Excuse the laptop camera.

Another Awesome Day!
The Canadian Federal government, actually it's law-reviewing Senate, yesterday made the big decision: Whether or not to pass the Federal bill that will legalize Cannabis. Well, what they really did - I'M NOT JOKING HERE - stop laughing! -- was to decide to er not decide but rather to put the bill to no less than FIVE committees for, um, review. It's the Canadian Way - we totally depend on all our levels of government to screw everything up. Happily they aways oblige, in this case with the premier weapon of all legal systems everywhere - DELAY. So while all us Cannabis users sort of laugh and try to look interested, the good old black market has been preparing for battle (and they already won). It isn't rocket science. 6 months ago, the following was not possible: Go to your friendly neighborhood dealer, and ask for Lemon Kush. Or O. G. Kush. Or Rock Star. Its all available at the same price weed has been fr decades - $10.00 per gram - the "dime bag". So...
New Music from 1997: P F Empathy
"P F Empathy" 1 997 Music by Martin Lomas. So named due to my love of the Italian prog-rock band PFM . All tracks recorded and produced by me. The two solos were originally electric guitar, which I then purposely allowed audio-to-MIDI software to inaccurately translate, feeding the results into software synths. Native Instruments' Reaktor software synth
Hmm, are you seeing 4 audio files? I only see 3. We lost one :(
