This is the first post for The Musophyst.  Hello and welcome.  I’ve coined the term Musophyst as an aggregation of my primary interests – Music, philosophy, science, and technology.  Each of these areas of interest encompass a wide range of topics.  Regarding music, I will delve into issues of music composition, performance, recording, and appreciation.   Much comes under the rubric of philosophy, but my specific interests lie in cognitive philosophy and universal Darwinism.  The science aspect will include many topics from physics to neuroscience to cosmology.  And finally I will include posts about the technology that pervades our lives, as well as my detailed take on hardware and software design and architecture issues as a professional in that arena for more than three decades.
