BEHOLD! THE INCEPTION OF HEATHEN HELM AUDIO.
IT WAS IN THE HALL OF AQUARIUS, ON THE CUSP OF UNCONSCIOUSNESS, THAT I HEARD SWEET MUSIC. I HAPPENED UPON A LENGTHY TOME, A HIGHLY DETAILED & ILLUSTRIOUS MANUAL OF SPACE TRAVEL & ITS PROPONENTS. TO THE SOUND OF A DEEP AND ANCIENT PIANO I FATHOMED ABSOLUTE WEIGHTLESSNESS. A GREAT MISSION IS UPON US...
OPERATORS ARE WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK TO ENHANCE THEIR WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF A WHOLE SLEW OF VIRTUALLY UNTAPPED DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING, SYNTHESIZER, EFFECT, SEQUENCING AND AUTOMATED RECORDING AND ARRANGING PLATFORMS. TO ACCOMMODATE A VAST PLENUM OF MULTIFACETED ALGORITHMS, OPERATING SYSTEM DECA IS MOST DEFT. HEATHEN HELM; ECHOING THROUGHOUT THE MORPHOGENETIC WOMB.

AUDIO AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES AT THE DUSK OF PISCES
THE HOME CALCULATOR IN ITS OMNIPOTENT FUNCTIONALITY HAS ARRIVED. THE RECORD MONOPOLY, AND CONSUMER INDUSTRY PERIOD, IS LOSING ITS HOLD ON ARTIST WORKS. THE RETURN TO COMMUNITY AND QUALITY BASED COMMERCE IS UPON US. EMERGENT TECHNOLOGIES HAVE BEEN INCREASING IN NOVELTY AND COMPLEXITY AT AN EXPONENTIAL RATE. RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, IS JUST THE POINT IN THE GRAPHICAL TIMELINE WHERE THE NUMBERS SKY ROCKET THROUGH THE ROOF AND OFF THE CHART OF EVERYTHING WE THOUGHT POSSIBLE. *
WHAT THEN ARE THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS FOR THE WORLD OF AUDIO? WILL THE RECORD MONOPOLY BE ABANDONED DEAD IN ITS TRACKS? RECORD STUDIOS AND RECORD SHOPS ARE NOW A PERSONAL COMPUTER. ONE CAN BE FOUND IN MORE THAN HALF OF HOMES WORLDWIDE. SIMPLY BEING HEARD IS THE ONLY ISSUE. JUST HOW EFFECTIVE IS OUR COMMUNICATION? THE MORE PEOPLE THE ARTIST CAN REACH, WHO ENJOY HIS PRODUCTION ENOUGH TO VISIT HIS WEB SITE, THE MORE ART THE ARTIST CAN PRODUCE AND DISTRIBUTE DIRECTLY.
