Fourth Sundays Chamber Music Series: Jason Eckardt
Posted on 09. Apr, 2010 by Editor in Arts, Chamber Music Series, Events, Hotel
Sunday april 25th, 4pm
The Talea Ensemble, along with the iO Quartet, presents “When Music Becomes Unruly”. The concert focuses on award-winning composer Jason Eckardt’s 16 for flute and string trio. Jason writes, “The work’s title refers to the sixteen words that should have been excised from George Bush’s January 2003 State of the Union address: “The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.” This false claim illustrates the policy of deceit typical of the morally impoverished current administration. As an artist angered and ashamed by my country’s actions, my deepest response is expressed in my work and my faith in art’s ability to contribute to, if not transform , society.
Additionally Jason has curated the concert. Complementing his work will be Brahms’ fierce and tragic c minor String Quartet. Jason will speak about the ideas of struggle and adversity within a musical work.

Tech Tuesday: LIVE Streaming Platforms ///Quick REVIEW///
Posted on 15. Dec, 2009 by Birdsong in Community, Hotel
This week I set out to review the different options available for LIVE internet broadcasting. There are a number of options and platforms available. The best advice is to determine YOUR needs and pick the one that suits you best.
Here is my best of list
- USTREAM.tv
- livestream.com
- justin.tv
- Qik.com
- Kyte.tv
Some of these platforms don’t offer services that others do…for example Qik is meant only for mobile phones. while USTREAM allows streaming from a PC or mobile (iphone).
USTREAM
Right now USTREAM is my favorite. It’s really popular and offers some high profile content as well as a ton of user generated LIVE and archived content.
Pros
- You can use flash media live encoder (if you have a fast PC) for HQ broadcasts.
- Easy. Like really f%#ing easy.
- New broadcaster app for iphone allows for spontaneous LIVE streaming (don’t forget to jailbrake and install ‘mobile substrate’ so you can stream over 3g).
Cons
- Limited quality with mac (no plugin).
- Messy UI sort of reminds me of myspace (not a good thing).
- Player app for iphone doesn’t work (that sucks).
- The ‘youtube’ of LIVE internet broadcast (at least for now).
Livestream.com
Pros
- Gorgeous design. Site is beautiful, and easy to navigate.
- Standalone app for mac (can broadcast using h.264).
Cons
- Annoying (video) ads.
- Unreliable recording (archiving) with mac app (to be fair: the mac app is still in beta)
Justin.TV
Pros
- Says it’s compatible with Quicktime Broadcaster (HQ broadcasting for mac)
- Very experimental (lots of lifecasting going on here).
- Nice design.
Cons
- I only got QT Broadcaster working for a minute…(crap).
- Have you ever heard of justin.tv? (now you have).
Qik
Pros
- Qik is pretty awesome.
- Live video from your iphone (jailbroken), and certain Nokia handsets.
- Syndicates really well. Press the red button and it posts to facebook (live and archived video) posts to youtube, twitter, tumblr, etc.
Cons
- Only works on mobile phones.
Kyte
Pros
- OK site design.
- Offers mobile and PC broadcasting.
- Quality seems good.
Cons
- Have you ever heard of kyte?
- Site seems heavily geared to their pay model and a little hard to navigate because of it.
- Hard to navigate to FAQ and other HELP info.
Come back here every tuesday for more technology related reviews and best of lists.
Cheers,
-John Birdsong
