  • Corn flakes. #
  • @tobiasreber No, more from the academic side. I have met few musicians. in reply to tobiasreber #
  • @HurdAudio 1948? Muddy Waters? in reply to HurdAudio #
  • @babblingboy Best of luck! in reply to babblingboy #
  • Today at the Sound Art Theories Symposium, David Grubbs presented a paper about online experimental music archives and left out #netlabels #
  • … while including things like Ubuweb and mp3 blogs. It didn't make sense to me and I said so. #
  • .@jshell I asked this. I felt, and still feel, that it was an exclusion based on 'non-academic' status, thus elitist. (1 of 2) in reply to jshell #
  • .@jshell He said it was based on new vs. not new. I.E. archival of "previously" released work. (2 of 2) in reply to jshell #
  • Bertoia work in front of AON building, Chicago. (not my crappy video) http://t.co/KXsX9Sfo My recording later. #
  • A quick search of @ubuweb yields brand new work, so David Grubbs' distinction of old/new does not hold as a seperator. #
  • @Maraxnoise I don't feel any material warrants exclusion from art. in reply to Maraxnoise #
  • @Maraxnoise Well, one has that luxury when one has had the income of a lawyer for however long. in reply to Maraxnoise #
  • @saic_news I see that @MarcMcNulty, @eleona, @s_t_e_v_e_jones and myself have tweeted a bit about it. in reply to saic_news #

  • @c_a_harebell That was probably the best of the new exhibits! in reply to c_a_harebell #
  • @c_a_harebell … and that was one of my favorites of the old-timey exhibits! in reply to c_a_harebell #
  • @c_a_harebell oh no, you must REALLY be stressing in reply to c_a_harebell #
  • @cinchel Oi, I listened to a couple of your things on the train Thursday / Friday. Organ.dump is pretty great in reply to cinchel #
  • @c_a_harebell There's a song called "Faun Fables" by Japonize Elephants that's got a hilarious parody aspect. esp at the end @snooksarmy #
  • @cinchel I think it's okay to aim high with concept, even if you fail. At any rate it is good travel-by-train music! :) in reply to cinchel #
  • @cinchel I know what you mean about having a real difficult relationship with your own work sometimes though! in reply to cinchel #
  • You want a job, right? #
  • A German woman I met @ #saicSATS told me that for her the most annoying sounds in the USA was all the ventilation noise. Too distracting. #
  • This puddle is deeper than I thought. #
  • Does contemporary design not ever ask "Is it practical?" "Is it useful?" "Is it uncomfortable?" "Is it ugly?" #
  • My Top 3 #lastfm Artists: Cinchel (11), Iannis Xenakis (6) & Dome (5) http://t.co/tvPbaNRK #
  • Hey! Internet! I am at a stop in Osceola, Iowa. Where are you? #
  • @c_a_harebell We have arrived in Denver. The train was seven hours delayed. Now to figure out how to get home. #
  • 24 hours on the train. #
  • … and on the bus for three hours #
  • @c_a_harebell Sorry babe, your batchelorhood is over. Get that goddamned ball & chain put back on yo ankle. in reply to c_a_harebell #
  • … twenty minutes by foot, and I am home! #
  • I am thinking about sound memory, since the sound of the train's whistle is persisting in my mind. #
  • Permeable barrier #
  • Where's my goddamned thesaurus? #
  • @mystified131 Ha ha! :D in reply to mystified131 #
  • My friend @mrdankelly has written/selfpublished a book http://t.co/yhrpsDSp called "Hilaretic, Church Reviews & Other Writings" Buy it! DIY! #
  • No borders here. #
  • "There is no way to penetrate this barrier, it has the strength of a million souls, the power of the dead" #
  • It exists but is of no consequence. #
  • Pores. Interstices. #
  • The filter through which all may pass. #
  • Porous barriers #
  • Diffuse limits. #
  • Unreliable constraints. #
  • Yielding to pressure. #
  • Dams that burst. #
  • Perforated membrane. #
  • I dreamed I arrived late for a lecture. The presenter was very quietly speaking complete gibberish. The audience rapt, extracting meaning. #
  • There is no word in English for this. #
  • No, but you CAN hear through a wall. RT: @implicitorder: Can you see thru a wall? #
  • @jshell ha ha! This is actually a dream about a real thing, I was at some talks that went over my head & I felt very small as a result. in reply to jshell #
  • @jshell I would have probably enjoyed a gibberish talk from Andrew McKenzie! in reply to jshell #
  • Acknowledging its solidity, and yet still passing through it. #
  • Mountain Standard double black IPA by @OdellBrewing … HO-LEE SHIT! #
  • Typing frantically. Blog post will be as weighty as a concrete block. Will it knock your head off? #

  • Sculptor who shot a dog to death for an art film in the 70s commissioned for 750K sculpture project in SF subway. http://t.co/sK0fgE7n #
  • Today, we drove 200+ miles deep into the mountains, picked mushrooms, saw some moose & made recordings of trees creaking. #
  • Honestly, who cares about what George Lucas does anymore? #
  • .@Maraxnoise Sad noise? Hilarious! My bandmate in Drone Forest wanted to do "happy ambient" for a while. None of us could figure out how. in reply to Maraxnoise #
  • Can't believe the Republican echo chamber are talking about class warfare, and people aren't storming the fucking bastille in response. #
  • @Maraxnoise There is a "lightness" about some ambient, but I hesitate to call it happy. in reply to Maraxnoise #
  • @Maraxnoise Oh, go to droneforest.com and get my "Wormwood" – one of the first really good noise things I did. in reply to Maraxnoise #
  • @Le_Berger Actually, I don't. I appreciate the role blues played in rock development, & I like very early blues recordings… (1 of 2) in reply to Le_Berger #
  • @Le_Berger (2 of 2) … but I cannot stand Stevie Ray Vaughan style whitey electric blues. HATE it. Nothing recorded after 1950 something . in reply to Le_Berger #
  • I just grilled some fish & some wild mushrooms w/ oregano, lemongrass & tomatillos from the garden. Mmm. Heirloom tomatoes on the side. Mmmm #
  • @Le_Berger I understand this criticism, but I can also say simply & honestly, that latter blues just doesn't speak to me. in reply to Le_Berger #
  • @implicitorder Coffee in the morning, and booze in moderation in the evening. in reply to implicitorder #
  • @implicitorder Good for you w/ no booze. I've known too many folks who fall into the bottle. Pathetic. Moderation is key w/ anything. in reply to implicitorder #
  • @implicitorder Fucking 'A', man, that is seriously awesome. Keep it going. Addiction is fucking awful. in reply to implicitorder #
  • @Le_Berger It's important to have passion & interest in various directions. in reply to Le_Berger #
  • @implicitorder Yeah, some of my family is like that. It yanks at my heart. I'm a moderate partaker by nature. I like self-control too much. in reply to implicitorder #
  • @Le_Berger Folk also really doesn't do it for me after electrification. Weird. I love electric jazz, but folk & blues no. in reply to Le_Berger #
  • @Maraxnoise Yeah, me neither. There was some good ambient back then, but a lot was pretty froofy. in reply to Maraxnoise #
  • My Top 3 #lastfm Artists: If, Bwana (24), Piano Magic (18) & Janek Schaefer (12) http://t.co/tvPbaNRK #
  • @Maraxnoise Thanks! Not really "harsh noise" but certainly far harsher than your avg. ambient thing. in reply to Maraxnoise #
  • I hate to say it, since I adore Pierre Schaefer, but the "acousmatic" concept is deeply flawed, an idea that is well past its prime. #
  • Be a listener first. #
  • Ok Conservatives, if a corporation is a person, when it goes out of business, does it go to heaven? Is Enron in heaven now? #
  • Conservatives have an anthropomorphizing problem. #
  • @dpnem REM was described on NPR today as "edgy" and "experimental". in reply to dpnem #
  • @jshell I'd love to get it, but I don't have surround sound. I've only heard their 1st collab, was surprised to find that this is their 3rd. in reply to jshell #
  • Better late than never! Great work by SS. RT: @dpnem: Today's AoS Review: @saffronslumber's "Somnogen" (Resting Bell) http://t.co/H1HSNpvT #
  • "There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody." – Elizabeth Warren http://t.co/cbiPO6ra #
  • @snooksarmy I feel a little more square about her than about O, frankly. Dems will never be solidified. Against our nature. in reply to snooksarmy #
  • Feldman mania! RT: @c_a_harebell: @vuzhmusic thought that thought that thought that(falls falls) snow. Who'd have. #
  • The Quay Brothers take up residency in Philly's Mutter Museum to film their newest work. http://t.co/8pXoBPp6 #
  • @Maraxnoise I'm on G+. I'm only using it a little bit for promo of new stuff. Mostly for other stuff. in reply to Maraxnoise #
  • @implicitorder You're damned straight, Conny Plank! Conny Motherfucking Plank! in reply to implicitorder #
  • ARGHHHHH. The car goes back to the shop. #
  • @newpractice Same thing. in reply to newpractice #
  • @newpractice New transmission, also gets stuck in gear. in reply to newpractice #
  • Bring back the apocalypse! It's never too late for the end of time! #
  • @implicitorder Yeah What the fuck did you do now? :D rt @maraxnoise You aren't on it are you? “ Must watch the local 11 O'Clock news….” in reply to Maraxnoise #
  • @c_a_harebell It would be fascinating the extent to which pain caused identity issues if it weren't so all-consuming. Fuck pain. in reply to c_a_harebell #
  • Several times today I found myself saying "@CERN is awesome!" #
  • Today can only be saved by beer. #
  • RT: @Le_Berger: I'm positively mesmerized by what I composed today. #
  • @ValhallArts @newpractice Alright you've talked me into it. Beer… AND gin. Whoooooo! in reply to ValhallArts #
  • Susanne Lewis provides three invaluable pronounciation guides: http://t.co/XFbNqcHY #
  • An interview with Jeph Jerman, whom I admire more than I can say here: http://t.co/KAT6A25a #
  • Jerman: "Removing the context so that the sounds stand alone." — Never thought of Jerman as an acousmatic artist, but… #
  • It has become very clear over the course of the last weeks that 'pure-sound based' vs. 'idea based' is a KEY internal conflict. Unresolvable #
  • @c_a_harebell Acousmatic is Pierre Schaeffer's idea of sound removed from context. Pure sound. Listen to the sound, remove associations. in reply to c_a_harebell #
  • .@c_a_harebell 'Acousmatics' is Pierre Schaeffer's idea of sound removed from context. Pure sound. Listen to the sound, remove associations. #
  • @newpractice I think you're going to have to read this: http://t.co/KAT6A25a – I disagree w/ him, yet REVERE this guy. Conflict deeply felt. #
  • .@Le_Berger You cannot expect every experiment to be a success. in reply to Le_Berger #
  • Welp, we're screwed. Time to hunt for a new car. #
  • @tobiasreber I cannot STAND people talking at a performance. So rude. Why not go to a bar? in reply to tobiasreber #
  • @tobiasreber I think a lot of people go just to say they were there. in reply to tobiasreber #
  • Just learned about a schoolmate's death. We were good friends in Middle school, bonded over computer programming. We were nerds. :( #
  • The white cube is a humpty dumpty eggshell always ready to be broken & put back together again. #
  • The white cube is "an echo chamber disguised as a regular room". – Michael Brewster #
  • Ugh. Seriously. Must there be drama? = #
  • Right now, I am listening to an EP by a very admired composer who has recorded a new work specifically for Vuzh Music, and it is AWESOME. #
  • … Too bad you all have to wait until later this year to hear it! #
