CHRISTOPHER TIN'S BLOG: September 2007
http://blogger.christophertin.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Thoughts on music, design and literature. Sunday, September 30, 2007. A Quote By David Geffen. The music business, as a whole, has lost its faith in content. Only 10 years ago, companies wanted to make records, presumably good records, and see if they sold. But panic has set in, and now it's no longer about making music, it's all about how to sell music. And there's no clear answer about how to fix that problem.". Music, not on making. On the contrary, my focus with Calling All Dawns. Links to this post.

CHRISTOPHER TIN'S BLOG: July 2008
http://blogger.christophertin.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Thoughts on music, design and literature. Saturday, July 19, 2008. Yes, I've been lax in blogging. But the reason is because I'm on a very cool Microsoft project that's had me completely wrapped up for the better part of a month now. I can't really talk about it until I'm done (hopefully in another month), but it's a rather unique- and somewhat odd- opportunity that I couldn't pass up! Anyway, the singers that I've been working with are actually my old singing group up at Stanford University, Talisman.

Thoughts on music, design and literature. Friday, December 28, 2007. Abbey Road Pt. 3. My day at Abbey Road started at 8:00 AM, when I showed up at the studio. Already the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra's. Massive truck was outside, and roadies were loading various large instruments into the studio, including the timpani, celeste, the battery of ethnic percussion I hired, as well as the mother of all taiko drums. (Here's a picture of me having a little fun with it! W/ piccolo, alto flute. We capped off the...

Thoughts on music, design and literature. Tuesday, May 13, 2008. Writing Music In My Sleep. Music in my sleep. The most common scenario is that I'll be doing something random in my dream, like walking on my old college. Campus. And in my dream I'll be listening to my Discman (this was the mid-nineties).and on the Discman will be playing a new piece of music that I've never heard before. Last night, instead of writing music passively in my dream (that is, by dreaming that I was. Where you gonna go, Jimmy.
