- The Apple Worldwide Developer Conference is on!
- Apple preps the release of OSX 10.10 “Yosemite” and furthers the OSX iOS hybrid.
- iOS 8 is announced, steals the best of Android (other keyboards/widgets) and lets iOS apps talk/interact with each other.
- Apple buys Beats. Mostly for the streaming service, but also to sell overpriced headphones to teenagers.
- Important records is kickstarting a re-release of electroacoustic pioneer Pauline Oliveros‘ hugely influential “Reverberations” 12-disc set.
- Kirstin Volness joins us this week:
- Her Precious Nothing, perf. Hotel Elefant, is an amplified, audio affected, sometimes pop-musicy electro-acoustic 25 minute journey.
- River Rising for violin, stereo digital sound, and live electronics will sweep you away. :)
- She also tells us about her work with the Boston New Music Initiative, the Meridian Project, in education and much, much more!
