Tom,

Caught your talk at Pop!Tech and am still here. Bob Metcalfe, in summing up, said yours was the best talk this year.

Tim Beidel

Tom says:

Nice to hear. Bob hosted my session last time, so perhaps he's a bit biased.

Actually, the guy who blew both me and Eno away was the comedian just before lunch on Thursday. The guy with the instant dubbing machine. Funny as hell, but the music was really quite beautiful in its own right, and it was all real-time sampling of just his voice--McFerrin-like.

I met the guy in the green room afterwards. He told me I really opened his eyes, and I just kept saying how wonderful his music was. Seriously, I'd buy it as straight music--no laughs requires.

Thanks, Tim, and Bob.
