We’ll be releasing a feature with bassist, composer, and conductor Peter Askim tomorrow on Contrabass Conversations, so stay tuned to this for some delightful music and commentary, but in the meantime, check out a few of the fun morsels we’ve uncovered this week:
Here’s a great LOL cat from blogging maven Robert Scoble. These little fur balls remind me of my kitties when they were born!
Lyric Opera bassist (and former Contrabass Conversations guest) Greg Sarchet recently sent me a link to this very cool juggling act from Michael Moschen. His creative process is much like that of musicians!

Its interesting that you mention the elements of process shared by jugglers and musicians. Over the past two years I have performed with a couple of wonderful jugglers who where able to break down the numeric sequences used in their art.
And presto!
The sequences where easily translated into time signatures that together with modal frameworks
worked great as a basis to improvise with the juggling!
Cheers
