about
My name is Jim Elvidge, aka The Consultant.In 1997 I co-founded Nucast — later RadioAMP — one of the first user-created online streaming music services, documented by CNET as a pioneer of digital playlists predating iTunes and Spotify by years. We fought the RIAA and won. We pitched Jeff Bezos. Collaborated with Mark Cuban. Turned down Disney.Then the dotcom bust happened. :(I've been a drummer for 50 years - yeah, I'm that old. I hold a master's degree in electrical engineering from Cornell. And now I make AI-assisted video mashups in a garage in California — Beethoven meets The Doors, Zeppelin and Nelly meet Kashmir, Latin rock meets EDM. Music that crosses every genre boundary imaginable.I also write. My book The Universe — Solved! was one of the earliest explorations of what is now widely discussed as the simulation hypothesis. My novel Level 5 explores that territory through fiction.Turns out being early is its own reward. Eventually.
