- About Me:
- I am an independent scholar and former professional jazz guitarist living in the Pittsburgh area for almost 7 years. I am currently trying to get back in shape musically, taking lessons from Jimmy Ponder on the blues and its abstract truth, to retrieve and hopefully surpass where I was musically in the late 1970's.
Here are some of my interests:
Research on Science, Technology and Culture: Complexity Theory in physics and cognitive science, Visual Art, Music, Literature, Philosophy and Politics: Poincare and Bergson, Duchamp and the emergence of emergence; Duchamp and Dada; the History of Jazz; Jazz and cognition; Chess and Go; the scientific epistemological foundations of fascism; Thomas Pynchon; Ezra Pound, Samuel Beckett, Sam Shepard; Kiki Smith, Arakawa and Gins, Pilobolus, The Pulsa Group, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari; Henri Atlan & Ilya Prigogine, Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela, Jean Petitot, and Edwin Hutchins. Here is a NSF Conference website with samples of my published work:

Here is a video-taped lecture on the metaphor of jazz in cognitive and computer science (and the relationship between embodied and distributed cognition) from the same conference:

I have had as well a sideline in Hypermedia, HCI and Interaction-Design.
You can see a list of publications, including articles translated into Spanish and Portuguese, at:

You can listen to an audio file of a lecture on the mathematics of phase space, contemporary cognitive science, and the avant-garde architecture of Arakawa and Gins, that I gave for the Slought Foundation and the University of Pennsylvania, April 5, 2008:

Would those have been the 'Poohs Pub' shows in Boston by Metheny and Pastorius? With the latter mixing some gymnastics into his stage entrances? In any case, it must have been pretty awesome to see those guys perform so regularly. Keep in touch -kp
Thanks for finding us. Hopefully we'll get to meet you at one of our gigs.
