Descartes’s Dreams: First DreamDescartes’s Dreams: First Dream

In the late 1990s I produced a series of experimental sound recordings in Studio C at KUNM radio in Albuquerque.  I called this series Descartes’s Dreams, from the title of the vocal portion of its longest track.

These recordings were stashed away in a plastic bag for over a dozen years before I decided to convert them to mp3 format and post them here.  They’ll appear one per day on the sidebar to the left, and also here in the new posts.

Here’s the first, “Puttin’ on the Ritz.”

Puttin’ on the Ritz

Are we there yet?Are we there yet?

“When the time comes that knowledge will not be sought for its own sake, and men will not press forward simply in a desire of achievement, without hope of gain, to extend the limits of human knowledge and information, then, indeed, will the race enter upon its decadence.” — Charles Evans Hughes (quoted by David Eugene Smith in The Teaching of Geometry)
