I never heard of the Israli musician Kutiman before today, and I already think he’s a genius. It was starting to sound trite to me when people talk about the potential of the Internet to enable creativity. But this is a convergence of technology, Internet culture, creativity, and maybe a little madness that kicked my jaded little ass.

If Kutiman puts out an album, I will buy it. If he needs a legal defense fund, I will contribute to it.
