In his home studio in Alameda, composer Brian Baumbusch creates and records music that a friend says is like a diamond because each composition’s structure is so strong it can’t crumble, even when listened to 10 times or more. Related Articles Local News | Julius Randle isn’t complaining about giving up the ball: ‘It’s basketball’ “I write music that’s not difficult on the ear, music that’s pleasing on the surface and internally, inconspicuously complex,” Baumbusch says of his recent album, “Polytempo Music” ( othermindsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/polytempo-music ). “The average person can listen to the music, and it’s stimulating and beautiful. You don’t have to understand it’s harmonic lineage to want to hear it again and again.” Baumbusch, like his music, has a complex, poly-influenced lineage ( brianbaumbusch.com/bio ). He grew up in a Washington, D.C., suburb in a family whose members include an architect, tax lawyer, fine art painter, polymaths and musicians. His parents were supportive of science, technology and the arts and took their three sons to operas and symphonies but also emphasized academics. Baumbusch says that, playing in the family’s Presbyterian church bell choir, he discovered at a young age that music came easily to him. “I always had music running in my mind — any ear worm on the radio,” he says. “I took piano, then merged to a drum set, then trumpet, violin, viola, clarinet and finally landed on guitar when I was 12. I was also into sports, was captain of the basketball team and played football. After I injured my shoulder my freshman year, I shifted my attention to music.” Baumbusch attended and finished high school at the Interlochen Center for the Arts in Interlochen, Michigan, earned an undergraduate degree in music composition from Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, completed his master’s degree at Oakland’s Mills College and received a doctorate in musical arts from UC Santa Cruz. His eclectic interests have drawn him in multiple directions: from the extended tracks of REM, Pearl Jam, Sublime and the Grateful Dead to Claude Debussy’s piano music, minimalist and electronic music, Balinese gamelan and other non-Western music. Asymmetrical rhythms, poly-tempos, time-expanded harmonic phases, variable tunings and other features in his work mingle to leave an impression of listening to multiple sound worlds simultaneously. “When I was 15, I heard the album ‘Buena Vista Social Club.’ That broke open the musical world for me. There’s rhythmic complexity, different structure than Western-based music. It was rebellion in me that made me realize what I’d been taught left out microtonality, alternative tuning theory, anti-academic music from around the world.” He says a particular interest in the perception of time that began when he was a kid also captivates him and that he could sense exactly when pasta cooking on the stovetop was about to boil over or how long he had been outdoors without timers or clocks. “I found there is catharsis in music when I tapped into bending time. I make music that shapes time. It’s music you can extend, hear over and over and never exhaust the interest and complexity.” Another avenue of thought, audience experience and interaction with music, led Baumbusch to consider the visual element of listening. He taught himself software coding, put on a virtual reality headset, linked into the open-source game development program Unity and explored the ChatGPT artificial intelligence chatbot, pairing different instrumental lines with individual colors and movements. Baumbusch says the screen-based software he developed lets a “player” wearing a headset move within his new album and customize the listening experience. “If you look at a cellist in an orchestra, it aids your ear in hearing that line within a dense texture. Bringing complex music’s visual side into the recorded sphere, I’m helping (listeners) discern all the threads in a way they might not without the visual.” The interactive spatial opportunity invites the endless revisiting Baumbusch desires for his music. Instead of a fixed situation, a musical work can sonically change as people decide proximity to certain instruments, which instruments are played and other elements. The 12 instruments on “Polytempo Music,” each with their line swirling and morphing in individual colors, can be isolated or recombined. The tracks were recorded separately by members of the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players and later synchronized by Baumbusch. “You can’t change the timeline or notes, but you can listen to just the oboe the whole time if you want,” he says. “I’d say you’re the orchestrator. You have creative license for what to emphasize.” He likes the term “liquid architecture” that’s associated with American animator and inventor John Whitney, referring to music as a malleable shape that moves through time. “We want to visualize music through dance, graphic scores and other means. Finding this medium where I could move sound around in space — it connected for me.” For audiences he says the interactive technology demonstrates the full power of music. “We can revisit a piece of music that connected to emotional peaks and troughs,” he says. “It allows you to take ownership of that and how you want to shape your experience in the future. “Music that’s fixed to a time period is more limited, like if there’s a singer in the foreground and lyrics that are specific. With other music, there are a lot of types that can not only be a single message but become an experience that can go with you and resonate throughout your life.” Baumbusch says he has launched a new label, Holography Records, that offers other artists a chance to learn and record their music using the audiovisual technology. Asked if there are musical genres that might be difficult or even impossible to use effectively with the technology, Baumbusch says he is still experimenting. He mentions a recent demo he made with traditional Iranian music that does have a singer and a band but notes that the compositional architecture is complex and every musical element has unique features that can be manipulated to endlessly create new sound worlds. “I’m working to figure out what music works because this is becoming my business model — making music you can interact with and move around. Music like Taylor Swift’s, with a lead singer and other things that subjugate around that voice: Would it benefit? I’m not sure, but that’s the learning part of this new record label, so who knows?” For more information, visit brianbaumbusch.com online. Lou Fancher is a freelance writer. Reach her at lou@johnsonandfancher.com .The Syrian government fell early Sunday in a stunning end to the 50-year rule of the Assad family after a sudden rebel offensive sprinted across government-held territory and entered the capital in 10 days. Syrian state television aired a video statement by a group of men saying that President Bashar Assad has been overthrown and all detainees in jails have been set free. The man who read the statement said the Operations Room to Conquer Damascus, an opposition group, called on all opposition fighters and citizens to preserve state institutions of “the free Syrian state.” The statement emerged hours after the head of a Syrian opposition war monitor said Assad had left the country for an undisclosed location, fleeing ahead of insurgents who said they had entered Damascus following the remarkably swift advance across the country. Syrian Prime Minister Mohammed Ghazi Jalali said the government was ready to “extend its hand” to the opposition and turn its functions over to a transitional government. “I am in my house and I have not left, and this is because of my belonging to this country,” Jalili said in a video statement. He said he would go to his office to continue work in the morning and called on Syrian citizens not to deface public property. He did not address reports that Assad had fled. Rami Abdurrahman of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights told The Associated Press that Assad took a flight Sunday from Damascus. State television in Iran, Assad’s main backer in the years of war in Syria, reported that Assad had left the capital. It cited Qatar’s Al Jazeera news network for the information and did not elaborate. There was no immediate statement from the Syrian government As daylight broke over Damascus, crowds gathered to pray in the city’s mosques and to celebrate in the squares, chanting “God is great.” People also chanted anti-Assad slogans and honked car horns. In some areas, celebratory gunshots rang out. Soldiers and police officers left their posts and fled, and looters broke into the headquarters of the Ministry of Defense. “My feelings are indescribable,” said Omar Daher, a 29-year-old lawyer. “After the fear that he (Assad) and his father made us live in for many years, and the panic and state of terror that I was living in, I can’t believe it.” Daher said his father was killed by security forces and his brother was in detention, his fate unknown. Assad “is a criminal, a tyrant and a dog,” he said.” “Damn his soul and the soul of the entire Assad family,” said Ghazal al-Sharif, another reveler in central Damascus. “It is the prayer of every oppressed person and God answered it today. We thought we would never see it, but thank God, we saw it.” The police headquarters in the capital appeared to be abandoned, its door left ajar with no officers outside. An Associated Press journalist shot footage of an abandoned army checkpoint where uniforms were discarded on the ground under a poster of Assad’s face. Footage broadcast on opposition-linked media showed a tank in one of the capital’s central squares. It was the first time opposition forces had reached Damascus since 2018, when Syrian troops recaptured areas on the outskirts of the capital following a yearslong siege. The pro-government Sham FM radio reported that the Damascus airport had been evacuated and all flights halted. The insurgents also announced they had entered the notorious Saydnaya military prison north of the capital and “liberated” their prisoners there. The night before, opposition forces took the central city of Homs, Syria’s third largest, as government forces abandoned it. The city stands at an important intersection between Damascus, the capital, and Syria’s coastal provinces of Latakia and Tartus — the Syrian leader’s base of support and home to a Russian strategic naval base. The rebels had already seized the cities of Aleppo and Hama, as well as large parts of the south, in a lightning offensive that began Nov. 27. Analysts said rebel control of Homs would be a game-changer. The rebels’ moves into Damascus came after the Syrian army withdrew from much of southern part of the country, leaving more areas, including several provincial capitals, under the control of opposition fighters. The advances in the past week were by far the largest in recent years by opposition factions, led by a group that has its origins in al-Qaida and is considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. and the United Nations. In their push to overthrow Assad’s government, the insurgents, led by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group, or HTS, have met little resistance from the Syrian army. The U.N.’s special envoy for Syria, Geir Pedersen, called Saturday for urgent talks in Geneva to ensure an “orderly political transition.” Speaking to reporters at the annual Doha Forum in Qatar, he said the situation in Syria was changing by the minute. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, whose country is Assad’s chief international backer, said he feels “sorry for the Syrian people.” In Damascus, people rushed to stock up on supplies. Thousands went to Syria’s border with Lebanon, trying to leave the country. Lebanese border officials closed the main Masnaa border crossing late Saturday, leaving many stuck waiting. Many shops in the capital were shuttered, a resident told The Associated Press, and those still open ran out of staples such as sugar. Some were selling items at three times the normal price. The U.N. said it was moving noncritical staff outside the country as a precaution. Assad’s status Syria’s state media denied social media rumors that Assad left the country, saying he was performing his duties in Damascus. Syrian Prime Minister Mohammad Ghazi al-Jalali said Sunday he does not know where Assad or the defense minister are. He told Saudi television network Al-Arabiyya early Sunday that they lost communication Saturday night. He has had little, if any, help from his allies. Russia is busy with its war in Ukraine. Lebanon’s Hezbollah, which at one point sent thousands of fighters to shore up Assad’s forces, has been weakened by a yearlong conflict with Israel. Iran has seen its proxies across the region degraded by regular Israeli airstrikes. U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday posted on social media that the United States should avoid engaging militarily in Syria. Separately, President Joe Biden’s national security adviser said the Biden administration had no intention of intervening there. Pedersen said a date for talks in Geneva on the implementation of a U.N. resolution, adopted in 2015 and calling for a Syrian-led political process, would be announced later. The resolution calls for the establishment of a transitional governing body, followed by the drafting of a new constitution and ending with U.N.-supervised elections. Later Saturday, foreign ministers and senior diplomats from eight key countries, including Saudi Arabia, Russia, Egypt, Turkey and Iran, along with Pederson, gathered on the sidelines of the Doha Summit to discuss the situation in Syria. In a statement, the participants affirmed their support for a political solution to the Syrian crisis “that would lead to the end of military activity and protect civilians.” The insurgents’ march A commander with the insurgents, Hassan Abdul-Ghani, posted on the Telegram messaging app that opposition forces had begun the “final stage” of their offensive by encircling Damascus. HTS controls much of northwest Syria and in 2017 set up a “salvation government” to run day-to-day affairs in the region. In recent years, HTS leader Abu Mohammed al-Golani has sought to remake the group’s image, cutting ties with al-Qaida, ditching hard-line officials and vowing to embrace pluralism and religious tolerance. The shock offensive began Nov. 27, during which gunmen captured the northern city of Aleppo, Syria’s largest, and the central city of Hama, the country’s fourth-largest city. The Syrian government has referred to opposition gunmen as terrorists since conflict broke out in March 2011. Qatar’s top diplomat, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, criticized Assad for failing to take advantage of the lull in fighting in recent years to address the country’s underlying problems. “Assad didn’t seize this opportunity to start engaging and restoring his relationship with his people,” he said.

Payroll/HR platform Remote says its clients can now pay contract workers using stablecoins. The new offering, launching initially for businesses in the U.S., allows companies to pay contractors in 69 countries with the USDC stablecoin, according to a Tuesday (Dec. 17) news release . “One of the biggest hurdles companies face when hiring on international talent is providing fast, flexible, and reliable payments around the world,” Remote CEO and Co-founder Job van der Voort said in the announcement. “With the introduction of stablecoin payouts via Stripe , we’re adding a feature that has been highly requested by our customers, enabling them to pay contractors how they prefer, while maintaining the compliance and simplicity Remote is known for.” According to the release, the new capability lets companies pay contract workers securely and near-instantaneously, whole Remote provides compliance at home and abroad. Contractor can pick a new withdrawal method and add their Base Network Wallet Address to get payments in USDC, while their employer will be billed in U.S. dollars. “Contractor management is one of the fastest-growing capabilities of the Remote platform as businesses shift toward tapping global talent pools and adopting more flexible workforce models,” the release said. “Stablecoin payments complement Remote’s powerful automation features for onboarding, invoicing, and paying contractors in minutes around the world, making it easy to manage and pay all their talent from a single dashboard.” The launch comes at a time when stablecoins appear to be gaining momentum as a cross-border payment method, as covered here last week. “Traditional cross-border payments are notorious for high fees, slow processing times and opaque intermediaries,” PYMNTS wrote. “Stablecoins offer a compelling alternative by allowing near-instantaneous transfers, significantly lower costs and enhanced transparency through blockchain technology.” Still, the utility of digital coins has been hampered by the difficulty in moving funds between stablecoins and fiat currencies — a gap that on-ramp and off-ramp services at some financial institutions hope to fill. “For banks, this functionality highlights the emergence of a potentially stark choice: adapt to a changing payments landscape or risk disintermediation,” PYMNTS wrote. Meanwhile, research by PYMNTS Intelligence has shown that using cryptocurrencies to make cross-border payments could be the winning use case that the industry has been searching for. The research found that blockchain-based cross-border solutions, stablecoins in particular, are being embraced by companies hoping for a better way to transact and expand internationally.

A squadron of fighter jets that belong to the District of Columbia Air National Guard will transfer to the Maryland National Guard, Gov. Wes Moore and other Maryland leaders said Monday night. Transferring the 121st Fighter Squadron, which operates out of Joint Base Andrews in Prince George’s County, will allow the state to maintain a flying mission as the Air Force phases out its aircraft at Martin State Airport in Middle River. The agreement marks the completion of Maryland officials’ three major priorities during a whirlwind few weeks of federal budget negotiations. Full federal funding for the Francis Scott Key Bridge rebuild and a commitment from the Commanders to not completely abandon their Landover stadium if they move back to Washington, D.C. were also on that shortlist — though the fate of each of them was unclear as negotiations repeatedly derailed last week. Bridge funding was ultimately included in the last-minute compromise that avoided a government shutdown. A measure that would have guaranteed the squadron transfer was in an earlier version but removed, as was a provision to allow D.C. to build a new stadium at the site of the deteriorating RFK stadium, which the city was pushing for in its effort to lure the Commanders from Maryland to their previous home. The Senate passed a separate bill allowing the RFK site change while Moore secured a direct agreement with the Commanders that promises the organization will demolish the existing stadium and help redevelop the site if they relocate. The Air Force squadron switch was handled administratively, with the secretary of the Air Force directing the transfer, according to Moore’s office. “In partnership with our congressional delegation and federal partners, we have advocated vigorously to maintain Maryland’s flying mission, both in the interest of national security and to continue the proud tradition that Maryland plays in defending our country,” Moore said in a statement. “This outcome is good for Maryland, good for our service members, and good for our national security.” The announcement did not include details about how the transfer could change operations for the 121st squadron, how many aircraft and staff are involved or when the transfer might happen. Divesting the A-10 “Warthog” attack aircraft in the 104th Fighter Squadron in Maryland is scheduled for Sept. 30, 2025 and a cybersecurity mission had been planned in its place. Maryland Air National Guard Brig. Gen. Drew E. Dougherty said in a statement the “transition is the first step in delivering a path where we can maintain our highly experienced pilots and maintainers, positions that are critically manned across the total force, while still keeping Maryland at the forefront of cyber operations.” U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen, a Maryland Democrat, called it a “win-win scenario” that preserves Maryland’s flying mission and the work of the 121st squadron. “We worked to secure this re-designation because it will provide stability at Joint Base Andrews, while simultaneously improving the current manning shortfalls of pilots and maintainers across the National Capitol Region,” Van Hollen said.

Ritchie Torres says he's "open to" running for governor in New York after questioning the actions of Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams. Torres has been highly critical of the job Hochul is doing. "We've seen a rise in crime in New York state and New York City. If she calls that governing, the majority of New Yorkers aren't impressed," he said. Torres wrote a letter to the governor and the mayor , claiming they were complicit in the release of Ramon Rivera, who fatally stabbed three people in New York City last week . Hochul reacted to the letter Tuesday, saying, "I'm not politicizing that tragedy. I refuse to politicize what was a horrific attack destroying families just before the holidays." When asked about the possibility that Torres was using the attack as a springboard to a political campaign against her, Hochul said, "I actually don't care what he's doing." Torres, meanwhile, said, "I've made no decision to run for governor. I'm open to it, but I've made no final decision." Adams was also asked about Torres' charges that the city failed to keep Rivera in prison despite his assault of a correction officer. "I can understand the concerns that the congressman raised and others have raised, but we can't be revisionist. I don't think there has been an elected official in the city that has been more vociferous around people with severe mental health illness ," he said. Both the governor and the mayor insist the city has increased services for those struggling with mental health issues . On social media late Tuesday afternoon , Torres said he had a productive conversation with the mayor, and he supports the mayor's efforts to build mental health institutions in the city.
