I am now the patron, in every sense, of the young composer pictured above. In exchange for supplying him modest living accommodations, I receive the benefit of his insights on music, popular culture, and the intricacies of studio technology.
My living room formerly resembled a cross between a used book store and a garage sale. Now it resembles equal parts used book store, garage sale, music equipment warehouse, and sound studio.
The music of the 21st century is taking shape here.
