I disagree with this list, but I'm glad there is a list like it. RT @brainwashedcom 10 Best Songs of Ed Ka-Spel http://t.co/PWRpKqQ1 #
Yesterday, I participated in #TwitterBlackout – I made no tweets as a protest against @twitter 's new international censorship policy. #
@c_a_harebell RT: @disquiet: I wrote a short story about the Spanish/Mexican surrealist painter Remedios Varo: http://t.co/JImmAAEm #
Go @gacougnol go! #
@flspectro That would be a good one too. in reply to flspectro #
Purism is dead. #
@Still_Museum Me too! Kentridge rules. in reply to Still_Museum #

@ValhallArts The @communikey call? they're not presently affiliated w/ my exhibition, but they're cool folks/great festival. will find link in reply to ValhallArts #
@ValhallArts Just retweeted that call at the other twitter acct. in reply to ValhallArts #
@KeithOlbermann Ach, du bist such a deutschbag. in reply to KeithOlbermann #
For those interested in pot, really terrible economic ideas, & letting corporations dump shit in your backyard & pot http://t.co/nOaQRCrz #
@c_a_harebell I know. That list wouldn't look anything like my list, that's for damned sure. in reply to c_a_harebell #
@silberspy Thanks for the tweet Brian! in reply to silberspy #
I just bought my early-bird pass for @communikey festival Must see Morton Subotnik / Biosphere! #
@ZombyMusic @grahamdunning But wouldn't it suck to have it turn out you were the SECOND person to get the forehead tattoo? in reply to grahamdunning #
@dpnem Funny, I only just started catching up on listening to 2012 netlabel stuff today. Some good stuff already this year. in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem Glad you dig it. I think his work is pretty darned good. in reply to dpnem #
Uh oh @TrAiskin was taken over by a spambot. #
@TrAiskin Changing your password would be my recommendation. in reply to TrAiskin #
@TrAiskin I've been seeing a lot of this kind of spam hijacking going around lately. Kinda creepy. in reply to TrAiskin #
@TrAiskin Will do, hopefully you knocked it out w/ a password change! in reply to TrAiskin #
@disquiet Congratulations! I think this is a stupendous project. I love its potential for sonic dialogue. in reply to disquiet #
@Gurdonark BAH ha ha ha ha!! Oh @hecanjog , you've made his hidden cynic come out! in reply to Gurdonark #
My Top 3 #lastfm Artists: Prefuse 73 (37), Burial (23) & HTRK (19) http://t.co/tvPbaNRK #
What's that low droning sound? It sounds like maybe a new C. Reider album is on its way! #
@dpnem Yes! Cool stuff. I'll drop them a line, but since the deadline's only a week away… ? in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem I haven't begun to look through the entries, I'm actually just doing an email for one last reminder for entries. in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem The part that's definitely good is the visiting artists who will be performing! I haven't really begun to promote that part yet! in reply to dpnem #
@c_a_harebell Maybe it was just indigestion in reply to c_a_harebell #
Read this. RT: @BoingBoing: Twitter's early-bird special on censorship http://t.co/U6UMJFkt #
I'm about to give a public talk about sound art to a bunch of strangers, here's hoping I don't make a fool of myself. Or a pompous bore. #
@mystified131 Almost anything can be a filter. in reply to mystified131 #
@grahamdunning Thanks for the radio exposure! I've enjoyed several of the things you've done-Just listened to Tape Ghosts a couple weeks ago in reply to grahamdunning #
@disquiet Alas, I didn't record, it, but I'm going to give the presentation again to Art Appreciation class, maybe I'll do that one. in reply to disquiet #
@Gurdonark @hecanjog Clearly yes. We've all been there. Especially me, I'll work on something for monhs and then trash it. in reply to Gurdonark #
I've been told by the owner of a reputable & cool netlabel that we can expect a new C. Reider album within the next few days. #droooooooone #
Thanks for the well wishes on the talk today. I'm not in practice of public speaking, but it went well, more or less. #
@c_a_harebell What accent? in reply to c_a_harebell #
Live tweet event w/ museum scientists! RT: @DenverMuseumNS: Do you have a question for our Snowmass scientists? Submit them using #iceagedig #
@disquiet Thanks for the tweet! in reply to disquiet #
@c_a_harebell Really? I just remember her sounding like a valley girl. Maybe I was the drunk one. in reply to c_a_harebell #
@c_a_harebell The early stuff is actually pretty similar in some way to her noise work. in reply to c_a_harebell #
@c_a_harebell "People pringle" *snork* in reply to c_a_harebell #
@implicitorder Congrats on both accounts! in reply to implicitorder #
@DawnPutney Did you know that the Denver affiliate of Komen for the Cure did not withdraw its grant to PP? http://t.co/XO41iJ1K in reply to DawnPutney #
Fifteen bucks for a CD… come on, isn't that pricing out of date? #
@grahamdunning Congrats on yr netlabelversary! Right now I'm on musical hiatus while I work on a sound art exhibition: http://t.co/k7XBdgKR in reply to grahamdunning #
@hecanjog That's why I embrace the term "experimental". Not all experiments are successes-you have to accept failure as part of the process in reply to hecanjog #
@grahamdunning Yes, it's been slightly unhappy not having a larger institution with a larger budget behind me to pay for shipping. in reply to grahamdunning #
@grahamdunning Still, hope you'll consider maybe a smaller entry, I've got a large space to fill! in reply to grahamdunning #
Supposedly we're about to be hit with one of the 10 worst snowstorms in history. Being from Colorado, I'll believe that shit when I see it. #
@hecanjog My least favorite minimalist. in reply to hecanjog #
@Le_Berger The idea of compositional control has been a key issue in experimental music since the Schaeffer / Cage dichotomy. in reply to Le_Berger #
Sound art call for entries – deadline for proposals Feb 6 http://t.co/k7XBdgKR #
@Le_Berger Didn't mean to be pompous, just that the role of composer is a subject for much discourse. #indeterminacy #acousmatics in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger Personally, I think it's completely appropriate to dwell inhabit an in-between state. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger I encourage you to look into Pierre Schaeffer's ideas & contrast them w/ John Cage's – completely fascinating the differences. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger I agree, I'd often rather read Cage or listen to him speak than listen to his music. #
@hecanjog Hm. Good question. I've looked up the usual suspects (Wikipedia et al) & they're pretty unsatisfying. in reply to hecanjog #
@hecanjog Schaeffer's approach in a nutsell is that sound ought to be divorced from its context, listened to as pure sound-(#1 of ??) in reply to hecanjog #
@hecanjog He called this approach "acousmatics" a term based on Pythagoras' akousmatikoi. Pythagoras taught his students from behind (#2of?? in reply to hecanjog #
@hecanjog …from behind a curtain so that the facial expressions & body language wouldn't taint the pure information of his lesson. (#3of?? in reply to hecanjog #
@hecanjog Context therefore could be viewed in Schaefferian terms as "noise" interfering with the signal of compositional intent. (#4of??) in reply to hecanjog #
@hecanjog In its modern use, any music which has a message or point to it is counter to Schaefferian acousmatics due to its context. in reply to hecanjog #
@Le_Berger I agree with that entirely. That agrees with my philosophy, and yet I'm drawn to many Schaefferian composers. in reply to Le_Berger #
@hecanjog Lopez is a *perfect* example of a purist modern Schaefferian composer. Bernhard Günter is another. in reply to hecanjog #
@hecanjog It's obvious from my body of work that I'm a conceptual composer, but I do utilize the pure sound approach at times. in reply to hecanjog #
@Le_Berger Absolutely. I am comfortable with many approaches. in reply to Le_Berger #
@hecanjog Günter is really interested in space, probably growing out of his fascination w/ Feldman. in reply to hecanjog #
@Le_Berger Yes, it's good to know these ideas and where you ground yourself in the field of work. in reply to Le_Berger #
@hecanjog I've always used sound in materialist terms, but I'm not sure I conceptualize sound as material. in reply to hecanjog #
@hecanjog No, I'm actually behind on my listening of his work. I ought to catch up since Trente Oiseaux is a free netlabel now! in reply to hecanjog #
@hecanjog It's funny, the acousmatic composers often have the most interesting music-I'd rather listen to Pierre Schaeffer any day over Cage in reply to hecanjog #
That wasn't such a bad snowstorm. Off to work I go. #
If you haven't yet checked out January's release on Vuzh Music, now would be a great time! http://t.co/RsEasOO1 The Euphoric Hum – Flow #

@cinchel Absolutely! I'm not expecting any imminent entries, so you're free to have your way with those sounds-I'm looking FWD to hearing it in reply to cinchel #

ARgh: OpenOffice / NeoOffice is frustrating. #
@falsereactions Alright, just ordered that and the SAW II, now I need to hide under a rock so I don't spend any more money. in reply to falsereactions #
@dpnem They're not the best, no. I'm just dismayed by people saying it's no big deal / they can go elsewhere, what if archive goes down? in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem True though that those download sites have lots of noise to signal. in reply to dpnem #

@dpnem @leonrosado Thinking more about how to get money & production stuff than the creative stuff was what made me start w/ the free model. in reply to dpnem #
@leonrosado @dpnem I think a common error is for people to assume that free netlabelers are dogmatic and think all music should be free… in reply to leonrosado #

I've often wondered why I don't find more netlabel releases with singing / lyrics. It's possible I'm just not looking for it. @dpnem #
@Gurdonark I've thought about doing some stuff like this. in reply to Gurdonark #

As a result of my best-of list I've gotten a few very pleased notes from artists happy to know that someone is out there listening! #
It's good to let #netlabels and artists know that you appreciate their work. This kind of positive feedback is what they're hoping for. #

@dpnem Who's Adele? in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem I wonder whether an artist ought to concern her/him self about what value the audience sets for the work. in reply to dpnem #
@jshell Why wouldn't it? Beards are good. in reply to jshell #
The one-eyed bald eagle at the bird sanctuary liked me. It made chirping and rasping noises at me and no one else. #
@Le_Berger I am happy when an audience agrees with me that the work is valuable. When they do not, I simply think they are wrong. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger From my perspective, making art is between you and the material, and it is, or should be an ever-shifting discovery process. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger The audience response does matter if the audience is the material the artist is working with, but it matters in a different way. in reply to Le_Berger #
What is the material boundary between decorative art and provocative art? #
@Le_Berger Hm? No disclaimers needed. Talking about this stuff is a process for me too. Ask me again in a year or two & I'll disavow it all. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger I like exchanges with you & others, trading ideas is important. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Gurdonark Good thought. Consumables just end up consumed. Products end up discarded. in reply to Gurdonark #
@Le_Berger Clearly distribution is a concern, and accessibility is a concern. I'm not only doing this for me, but … (1 of 2) in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger … the audience doesn't participate in the creative act — unless the audience is the material. (2 of 2) in reply to Le_Berger #
@Gurdonark @Le_Berger Yup, there's nothing wrong with profit. In my art practice, however, seeking this would be a distraction from work. in reply to Gurdonark #
@Le_Berger Yes. Access is important. I agree with this statement. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Gurdonark The poor lady, she had been shot & surgically reconstructed, then later contracted West Nile virus when she lost the eye. in reply to Gurdonark #
@Le_Berger The distraction would still be there, one would still need to manage accountings between business partners-seek new opportunities in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger For me the free model means open exchange between audience and artist, direct conduit, no distraction. in reply to Le_Berger #
Oh dear. http://t.co/i0PUmmgr I think this is a bad idea. I can't answer this question ever. Everything is both, and neither. #artornot #
@c_a_harebell I can answer the question is it good or not, but I can't answer the question is it art or not. in reply to c_a_harebell #
@c_a_harebell Is it a talentless hunk of shit? Sure… but the talentless hunk of shit is still art. Fucking Ricker shit is art. in reply to c_a_harebell #

Did I miss your best work this year? Let me know what you've released that you're especially proud of. #
@Le_Berger This is a question you need to answer for yourself. No one will be checking your credentials, so there's no wrong answer. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger Ah, yes, I have listened to that one. I'll happily listen again now. Have you heard NP's "Couleur"? another hexadecimal work. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger – the greyscale work is even better than I remembered it, good stuff! #

On "curating": http://t.co/ohkC1l1q #
@dpnem Yes, the "wunderkamer" was an early iteration of the museum. in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem This approach is now seen as top-down and therefore elitist, but it's v. interesting. in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem Most museums these days have undergone a "paradigm shift" and attempt to be as educational and un-elitist and acccessible as possible in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem They don't always succeed at this, and some try harder than others. Museology is fascinating. in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem This article interests me because my independent study right now is in curatorial practice (ergo the exhibition of sound art) in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem I like how the article points out the fluidity of language – especially apt since netlabel heads have adopted the term. in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem AVAM absolutely appears to be a post-paradigm shift museum. I'd love to visit. in reply to dpnem #
@Still_Museum Hm. Seems like the people at the Clyfford Still Museum have some good taste in music! in reply to Still_Museum #

@newpractice Many artists are over-rated, and shallow, but Saltz' dismissal of an entire epoch of art is moronic. in reply to newpractice #

I cleaned my Apple Mighty Mouse last night & was surprised to find a piezo speaker inside it. It makes clicking sounds for the scroll wheel! #
@jamesmcn There's one seal that I didn't put back on because you have to glue it, but it's working fine w/o it. There're tutorials @ youtube in reply to jamesmcn #

@andreasengstrom Do you think you'll publish the text of this lecture? I'm researching sound art for an exhibition. in reply to andreasengstrom #
@andreasengstrom Something I've thought about: why is xmas music broadcast in public space during xmas season not sound art? in reply to andreasengstrom #

@disquiet Definitely hack-worthy. Interesting that Apple's aesthetic sensibilities demand such a subtle little noise added to the mouse. in reply to disquiet #
@jamesmcn @disquiet The design has a tactile softened squarewave-esque rumble to it already, you just hear the click when it's plugged in in reply to jamesmcn #

"all the people crowding around the big art openings barely look at the work on display and are just there to hobnob" #
@dpnem Oh no, I have to wait until this afternoon to read it. Looking forward to that. in reply to dpnem #
I had a dream I was with @coseyfannitutti on an old footbridge. We were discussing music, but the wind kept blowing her skirt up. #
@Gurdonark @coseyfannitutti I can't decide which I prefer. in reply to Gurdonark #
The new article http://t.co/GQEN4GZl in UncertainForm by @_stretts makes a vital point about the cost of free music, and how to "pay" for it #
@Le_Berger Last night I took a walk into the back of my mind through the trash and the warning signs… in reply to Le_Berger #
It hasn't been a good year for maintaining warm & fuzzy feelings for the police. #

My netlabel has been getting some good traffic lately from Bangladesh & Kuwait. I love that. #
@tobiasreber I'm not on FB, but I think twitter's very amenable to conversation – especially for quickly getting a broad variety of opinion. in reply to tobiasreber #
@hecanjog Nothing wrong with Echoism, even if Narcissus didn't think much of her. in reply to hecanjog #
@tobiasreber That thing is hilarious. When I generated a statement with it, it used the incredible adverb "post-Stockhausenly". in reply to tobiasreber #
Apparently my authenticity filter is turned up to a high setting. #
In the push to become visible, do you become inaudible? #

Public discussion opens today for Creative Commons v. 4.0 http://t.co/C2bu9AKR Shall we complain that CC is a Commie plot? #redscare #
@Gurdonark It's… NEFARIOUS! in reply to Gurdonark #
@Le_Berger I sustain my living through the creative act. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger My idea of sustenance/sustainability has less to do with global economics and more to do with personal happiness. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger As many as it takes. I have absolutely zero ambition to make music for money. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger I'm not exactly making the kind of music that could make me a million bucks, and that's kind of the point. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger Value and recognition and sustainability, these things don't require monetary exchange in my view. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger I've sustained my sonic practice for over 20 years now, and I've lost money every year, and yet I see value in the endeavor. in reply to Le_Berger #
@c_a_harebell Honestly, the rush is pretty much over. in reply to c_a_harebell #
@Le_Berger There's nothing wrong with hope. Push ahead with bravery! I'm just saying this is not MY goal. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger I don't believe CC procludes a capitalist desire for profit-making. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger Art is valuable, yes – the value, for me, lies outside of the financial system. in reply to Le_Berger #
@implicitorder Nope. Kudos for making some money. Making money is simply not my goal when it comes to creating art. in reply to implicitorder #
@Le_Berger I don't agree. Free net-artists prove that art doesn't need financial incentives to survive. in reply to Le_Berger #
@implicitorder @Le_Berger If you can make money at music, I'd only applaud you. in reply to implicitorder #
@Le_Berger I give it away because it's worth sharing, it has value. The hopes I have are that people appreciate the value, and give feedback in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger Are you suggesting it is a listener's responsibility to purchase equipment for an artist? in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger I've spent untold thousands on my equipment. My choice, my responsibility. #
@implicitorder A pillow fight. in reply to implicitorder #
@Gurdonark Most of my spending on equip was done in earlier days, and much of that equip lays dormant now while I use cheapware / freeware in reply to Gurdonark #
@Le_Berger I spend money and time to create work that is free. That's something near the opposite of fascism. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger So it goes. If the public suddenly goes wild for C. Reider & wants to give me $$ I won't complain, but I'm not pursuing this goal in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger Most of the work I do now is done on a $30 editor I bought about 5 years ago, while expensive hardware sits collecting dust. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger I have experience in seeking payment for my work. It increased my marketing labor, and decreased my listenership. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger I'd rather spend my few free hours in the creative act rather than in marketing a product. in reply to Le_Berger #
Going to work on a Saturday. Grumble grumble. #
The #cc free music model is no more a threat to a commercial artist than vegetarianism is to a carnivore, than atheism is to a believer. #
@dpnem I left my wallet in El Segundo. in reply to dpnem #
@tobiasreber Tuning in now, I just got home… it sounds like you're on, probably just at the end of the set. in reply to tobiasreber #
Couldn't agree more. RT: @Gurdonark: The solution for corporate misbehavior is not "self-regulation". #
@tobiasreber Rats. I missed it! in reply to tobiasreber #

@Gurdonark Yes, we've basically had nothing to do all year, but the last two months have been a madhouse. in reply to Gurdonark #
