OT: Interesting stuff on WGBH Forum Network

Hi all

I've recently stumbled upon a website featuring free public lectures on 
a wide range of subjects: http://forum.wgbh.org/wgbh. The following two 
lectures could be of interest to some of you:

Award-winning writer, director, and producer David Lynch answers 
questions on his films, his 32-year practice of Transcendental 
Meditation, and the role of consciousness in the creative process. He 
is joined by physicist John Hagelin, who was featured in the 
documentary "What The Bleep Do We Know?" and neuroscientist Dr. Fred 
Travis, Director of the Center for Brain, Consciousness, and Cognition 
at Maharishi University of Management;

Composers Evan Ziporyn (Bang On A Can and Gamelan Galak Tika) and 
Christine Southworth (the robot opera Zap!) perform new works for 
robots and humans, on western and traditional Balinese instruments. 
Afterwards, they discuss how technology influences the musical 
experience for composers, performers and listeners:

Be inspired!
