Austin’s a music town, which in the past has made Nerd Nite presenters leery to test their knowledge against the wisdom of the crowd. Kind of like talking about snow in Toronto. Raise your beers to support these brave music nerds!
The talks:

“Bad Copy?: Musical Origins, Mimesis, and late 80’s Christian Metal,” by Jesse Kinbarovsky
A bad photocopy is fodder for the trash, a bad clone is fodder for nightmares. Even God makes copies – so what makes a copy ‘bad’, and why are we repulsed?
Jesse is an MFA candidate in design at UT, a decades-long fan of obscure religious music, and an indiscriminate bastardizer of any and all theory. Be warned, metal-nerds!

“WTF is IDM?,” by Tim Bedard
No, the record’s not skipping.
No, you’re not being lobotomized.
No, this isn’t a recording of android dreams.
You’re just listening to “Intelligent Dance Music”.
Tim is a classically trained musician and audio engineer with experience in a wide range of musical fields. His cat’s name is Honey Badger.

“Cymbals: Their history and mystery,” by Matt Herman
Cymbals have an extremely rich history extending from the Bronze Age, through Alchemy, warfare tactics, feuding families, up to the music of today. Much will be revealed about these shimmering metallic discs. A live demonstration will conclude the talk.
Matt likes to mix up music with math, and math with music. He went on a pilgrimage to Istanbul to search for cymbals in 1999, and is on an endless quest for that perfect ride-crash.
