Dinfinity and Reyond


I really recommend the online radio built into the new version of AIM, the majestically meaninglessly named Triton. I haven't gotten any farther than the DJ Sets station, but I'm happy to stay where I am. Tonight they're cycling through a very good collection of sets by various DJ's called "Live from the Getty Center", excellent chilly beats and lazily danceable bleeps and skitters. It was while looking for more info on one the Getty set DJ's, John Tejada, that I discovered the most auspicious Music Map site. Mr. Tejada's map is sparer than most, but it will get you started on your journey through the land of maps--even greater than a map of Lapland is the lap of Mapland. Each map recapitulates the big bang as the initial universe-begetting hyper mass explodes, flinging the universal matter to all bright and dim corners of space. You'll see what I mean. And If you don't like this musical constellation, all the simfinite parallel miniverses are awaiting your godly touch to burst into being. And song.
