#backstageBurrow #education #musicHistory #musicTechnology #podcast #videosThis is the cozy little tunnel where we dig into the wild, weird, wonderful stories that shaped the music blasting through your headphones right now. Composers causing chaos! Instruments evolving in ways no one asked for! Accidental innovations that changed EVERYTHING! I’m here for all of it.
Backstage Burrow Ep2-2026
🎸🐰 From quiet strummer to cultural thunder — how the electric guitar found its voice.
Take a cozy hop into the hidden history of amplification, innovation, and rebellious noise as we trace the guitar’s journey from back‑row rhythm keeper to electrified icon. From Hawaiian lap steels to “broomstick with pickups” prototypes, this episode uncovers how marginalized musicians, bold tinkerers, and a few happy accidents reshaped American sound.

#Music, #technology, and the eternal question: where does the tool end and the human begin?
Sean Martin, CISSP and I kicked off our coverage of The NAMM Show 2026 with a conversation with John Mlynczak, President and CEO of #NAMM, and it set exactly the right tone for what's ahead.
We dug into something I think about constantly—the tension between innovation that serves #creativity and #innovation that just... replaces it.
Here's what I took away:
#AI can speed up your workflow. It can open doors for people who never had access before. But it cannot feel. It cannot mean something. And audiences know the difference, even when they can't articulate it.
The music industry is figuring this out in real time. Products don't win on specs anymore—they win through the #artists who use them, the #stories they carry, the communities that form around them. Sound familiar? It should. It's the same thing happening across every industry trying to navigate this moment.
And then there's #education. The old model—one path fits all—is dead. NAMM is evolving into something more like a learning ecosystem, where formal sessions, hallway conversations, and hands-on discovery all matter equally.
This is just the beginning of our NAMM Show 2026 coverage, and I cannot wait to be there in person. There's something about being surrounded by people who understand that music is ultimately about people—not platforms, not #algorithms, not the latest plugin—that recharges everything.
Technology should amplify humanity, not dilute it. That's the conversation worth having.

Tomorrow at Kings Place, London: A unique window into New York's art scene in the midst of the #AIDSCrisis, as Zubin Kanga performs Philip Venables' "Answer Machine Tape, 1987".
Artist David Wojnarowicz's answering machine messages from the days before his friend Peter Hujar's death are central, but the #piano's #transcription cracks and fails — a poignant metaphor for the crisis that devastated a generation.

AI and the orchestra: Here's Robert Laidlow demonstrating the cadenza of his TECHNO-UTOPIA on the #Stacco – an instrument created by Intelligent Instruments Lab. The performer moves magnetic spheres across the surface of the Stacco, controlling an #AI model trained on 2,600 hours of BBC Radio 3 recordings of the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra.

Creativity's future is AI-driven, but the soul remains human.
Come on, man. Feelings from a machine? That’s just code mimicking emotion. It’s not evolving; it’s executing algorithms. AI might copy the surface, but it’ll never have a soul—no matter how slick the music sounds.
Tomorrow 6pm at sound festival in Aberdeen! Zubin Kanga premieres four new #cyborgsoloists works combining #piano with cutting-edge technology including #Genki Wave Ring, AI-assisted video #motioncapture, #ROLI #Seaboard & #interactive visuals. New pieces by Lara Agar, Rylan Gleave, Ben Nobuto & Neil Luck (with accordionist Andreas Borregaard). Friday 31 October at The Lemon Tree.

I wrote this to explain why wi-fi is such a kneecapper when it comes to doing real-time work over the internet. It's in the context of music and media collaboration, but the same frustration applies basically everywhere.
The best solution? Just grab an Ethernet cable. Simple as that.
