Michael L. Smith
|
The more I listen to the music of this composer, the more I like it. There are several midi files on the site - listen especially to "Janizad" and "The Moons of Jupiter".
|
|
David W. Solomons
|
An interesting British composer. MIDI and Real Audio samples of the
music - and while you are there, have a look at his mother's paintings.
|
|
Charles-Valentin Alkan
|
Information about this eccentric composer, whose music
surely ranks with that of Chopin and Liszt.
|
|
Havergal Brian
|
The official Havergal Brian web site, with a wealth of material about this
individualistic composer.
|
|
Minna Keal
|
Biographical information about this impressive British composer.

|
The Berkshire Recorder Consort
|
This is a local group to which I once more belong.
|
|
The Classical Midi Archive
|
An amazing collection of MIDI classical music from the famous to the obscure. It takes a while
to load, but it's worth the wait.
|
|
The Classical Midi Collection
|
A smaller site than the one above, but they do include some contemporary music.
|
|
The Standard Music Venue, London E.17
|
You can hear all kinds of live music here. I have in the past spent some happy hours here
drinking absinthe and listening to tribute bands with names like "Pink Fraud"
and "The Rolling Clones".

Ethan Winer
|
When he's not running his software company he's designing and building synthesisers, writing books on programming languages, building recording studios - oh, and writing the occasional cello concerto. A very interesting site with some good music samples.

|
Dogpile
|
Dogpile is a kind of meta-search-engine, and will do its search
utilizing other engines, and come back with many results in seconds. I find I use it less nowadays, because many of its searches come back with directories rather than pages.
|
|
Google
|
A search engine that seems very efficient, and has a
nice, uncluttered interface. I find as I use Dogpile less, so I use Google more.
|
|
Alltheweb
|
Another good general search engine. It can come up with some excellent results.
|
|
Gigablast
|
Gigablast is a search engine that at the time of writing exists only in beta form. But it's already showing signs of being an excellent engine.
|
|
Mooter
|
A curious search engine that returns its results in graphical form, and aims to provide results in useful clusters rather than lists.
|
|
Campaign for Unmetered Telecommunications
|
Always nice when a campaign closes down because its objectives have been met. The web site remains as an historical document
|
|
Feminists Against Censorship
|
A useful watchdog on censorship issues. You can register, and receive updates
|
|
The Booty Web Site
|
Pace Americans, you'll have to go to the site to see where it got the name. This is a family who live not far from me. Basically a meteorological site, with more information than you are ever likely to need - minutely detailed meteorological statistics about Bracknell's weather going back several years. The son, Wayne Rowley, is a composer and there are links to his music sites.

|
New Worlds
|
New Worlds - the magazine with which I used to be involved.
|
|
The Terminal Café
|
An essential site for those interested in the work of Michael Moorcock
|
|
The Bad Writing Contest
|
Paradigmatic exemplification of infra-syntactical enunciation
|
|
Second Life
|
The last 3D virtual world that I recommended here turned into a totalitarian nightmare. I am now a resident of Second Life, which has an altogether more relaxed character. Its two main strengths lie in the building and scripting tools available to all residents.
|
|
The Butt Pages
|
The famous 'strange things that people have put up their bottoms' site.
Remember - you found it here!
