@Le_Berger I don't see any difference. in reply to Le_Berger #
@dpnem Thanks for the tip. I had admired the cover art, but didn't listen for whatever reason. in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem I probably ought to check out that new Radio Royal thing too, as I quite liked their last one. in reply to dpnem #
Hey, @replouiegohmert was the new mass killing also a result of "ongoing attacks on Judeo-Christian beliefs"? Just curious. #
@JC_Christian https://t.co/Qm4ra1O7 in reply to JC_Christian #
Okay, this is the first @djunto project I've done that required I wear eye protection. #
.@ValhallArts Counterintuitively! Of course the @djunto project this time is based on a @yokoono instruction that is explicitly eye-centric. in reply to ValhallArts #
"Sun as Simulacrum of the Eye" my performance of @yokoono's "Lighting Piece" from 1955 http://t.co/zkxNK4we Done for @djunto #31 #
If you listen closely, you can hear the crispy hissing of the sun watching: http://t.co/zkxNK4we #
@dpnem I would think that CC & DRM are opposing poles. in reply to dpnem #

This weekend I slowly burned a match with a magnifying glass: http://t.co/zkxNK4we as a performance of @yokoono's "Lighting Piece". #
@thedarklobster Darn, there's no audio. in reply to thedarklobster #
@Le_Berger I follow people I want to read only. I don't care if they follow me back. in reply to Le_Berger #

@Gurdonark @implicitorder It's really up to every artist to decide for themselves, for me though I think of copyright as not useful. in reply to Gurdonark #
Wifey is finishing up her Summer internet class in Logic. It's obviously been a rough class. #
@Gurdonark @implicitorder Stop swinging that hammer so hard, Robert. in reply to Gurdonark #
@soundscrapers Interesting thoughts. Thanks. in reply to soundscrapers #
@soundscrapers Makes me think about how in social situations my wife eavesdrops, but I listen to crowd din and not conversation. in reply to soundscrapers #
@Le_Berger Air, water and food… these are just addictions. Kick the habit. in reply to Le_Berger #

@dpnem That looks like a blast. Please do not miss that film about RIO… gah, wish I could see that!. in reply to dpnem #
@cinchel Dude. Storage. Seriously. I hear you. in reply to cinchel #
The material I'm working on mixing / mastering is really proving difficult. I'll get it, it's just a frustrating process. #

@Gurdonark I never expected any of them! I'm fine now, I was just making light of a twitter hashtag at the expense of my mental wellness. in reply to Gurdonark #

@disquiet I've heard tell that you can "pet" a bee swarm. Their defenses are down when swarming. in reply to disquiet #
@c_yantis "Do you really want to hurt me?…" in reply to c_yantis #
Wifey's BDAY!!! Woot. She wants Chinese food, so I'm going to go hunt and gather some now. #
@disquiet Ha! I have a real fondness for bees & wasps. in reply to disquiet #
@BrewCrewJess It's possible the sound affects them. Colorado has docile wasps, so it's relatively safe to cultivate a fondness for them. in reply to BrewCrewJess #
@BrewCrewJess @disquiet One of my favorite Colorado naturalists (now dead, sadly) Howard Ensign Evans was a wasp specialist. in reply to BrewCrewJess #
Here's a picture of one of our solitary bee & solitary wasp houses w/ 2 leafcutter bees working: http://t.co/yWMRGF9R #
@BrewCrewJess Usually when wasps check you out they're just seeing if you have any bugs-in-distress hidden on your person. in reply to BrewCrewJess #

Okay, I do have the 4th & 8th hit on Google ranking. If you look on Google images, you have to go back 8 pages before you get anything #
@cinchel I got a picture of you & your twitter handle and your facebook by Googling your name in reply to cinchel #
@cinchel If you google C. Reider I'm everywhere. If you google my name, I'm nowhere, this was by design. in reply to cinchel #
@cinchel After the damage was done. 🙁 – I personally, didn't want people from my High School or my church looking me up. Fuck them. in reply to cinchel #
@cinchel Dude a Chevrolet background image is totally YOU. in reply to cinchel #
I don't play video games, but SoundShapes seems intriguing. Here, it's compared to a mixtape and to mashups: http://t.co/lMP3vbOJ #
I dunno if it will actually fall within the @disquiet mission or not, but if so I'm interested to read his take on SoundShapes. #

Quick Twitter protocol note. I do not do automatic follows, in fact I don't even pay attention to new Twitter follows at all. #
However, I'll follow anyone who engages me in twitter conversation & writes interesting tweets. #
In other words, I'm not looking for a friend count, I am looking for quality discourse / exchange of ideas. #
@disquiet I don't even own any of the current consoles, but for some reason I'm really interested in that one. in reply to disquiet #

@grahamdunning Hm. JB Weld? That would probably work. in reply to grahamdunning #
@grahamdunning If it isn't widely available there, my recommendation is to go take a look around at the adhesives in an auto parts shop. in reply to grahamdunning #
@DaveSeidel I've actually never tried it with soda – I love it straight, but if it's too bitter, a little ice cuts it back. Love, love it. in reply to DaveSeidel #
Lightning! So I had to shut down the computer & stop futzing with that synth part. Now on the laptop, battery. #
Wonder of wonders, it might be gonna rain out there! #
@mrkvm Have you seen the info on the Disquiet Junto show? http://t.co/J1YtOW7J in reply to mrkvm #
@mrkvm No way! What are the odds? Well, happy anniversary anyway! in reply to mrkvm #

Arse. Looks like that might be gonna rain turned into a might not. Damned drought. #
@c_yantis That's lovely. Have you given it a test run yet? in reply to c_yantis #
Consarned kernel panic. #
Arg, why did i spend all day on a synth part you can't even hear in the mix? #
Music can be frustrating sometimes. #
@c_yantis I'm leaning toward the noisy too, but that shouldn't be so much of a surprise, I guess. Unintended feedback is a hassle. in reply to c_yantis #
Holy crap. Maybe I need to go to NYC, this sounds incredible: http://t.co/4lbyXMaD #
@c_yantis I saw that set! It was good, I remember you struggling with feedback though. in reply to c_yantis #
@c_yantis The more professional venue + sound people will probably help with this. The Walnut Room has pretty ace sound. in reply to c_yantis #
@Gurdonark I envy your watermelon, but we have better beer here in Colorado, it must be admitted. in reply to Gurdonark #
@Le_Berger Are you uplifted, or are you just happy to see me? in reply to Le_Berger #

A couple of commenters say they hear a melody in this: http://t.co/FtteoqdA Weird: there is no musical source for whatever they're hearing. #
Maybe @MothersAgainst1 is right, it's demon music from the spirit world. Destroying families. #
@c_a_harebell Yes, you can faintly hear Pati using a dremel. Interesting that it's interpreted as melody. in reply to c_a_harebell #
@c_a_harebell I overdose on melody sometimes. I need lack of melody often. in reply to c_a_harebell #
@c_a_harebell I didn't mean to say I found something wrong with it. It's just weird. Understandable, but still weird. in reply to c_a_harebell #

@mystified131 Acoustic as in: no post-processing, or acoustic as in: sourced from acoustic material? in reply to mystified131 #
Trying to get caught up listening to the jew @djunto submissions. I wish I had internet at work – SoundCloud could be my soundtrack. #
Also: guess I'm going to give the Grandmothers of Invention a pass. Driving down to Denver & getting back at 2AM then going to work… no. #
@Gurdonark Yeah, I do regret not going, 'cause Napolean Murphy Brock is made of awesomeness. in reply to Gurdonark #

Caught up w/ stuff, now back to mixing. #
Gin + angostura bitters + fresh lavender. #

OMG. It's just not possible to make this track any more massive. It's fucking huge. #mixdownboasting #
Oh, man. RIP Gore Vidal. 🙁 #
Man, oh man. That William F. Buckley was an ess-hewl. #

@mrdankelly No Fly Agaric berzerker rages 'till you're 16 young man. in reply to mrdankelly #
I think my least favorite turn of phrase in contemporary English usage is saying "we've been so blessed" instead of "we're wealthy". #
This comes right after substituting "he's passed" for "he's dead" – it's not a game of football for pete's sake. #
@Gurdonark Perhaps a lot of netlabel artists don't know that there are other people doing it aside from them? in reply to Gurdonark #
@Gurdonark Maybe some of them have never heard another netlabel artist… because they're deaf? in reply to Gurdonark #
@Gurdonark Maybe they couldn't remember any names of any other netlabel artists than themselves because they had sudden-onset dementia? in reply to Gurdonark #
@Gurdonark … or maybe they really are the only important netlabel artist doing work today. in reply to Gurdonark #
Perfect! RT @Gurdonark I make it my mantra to be an unimportant netlabel artist because then I can listen to other artists/avoid affectation #
I listen to my peers in the netlabel underground because I'm genuinely curious to see what they're up to. Maybe I can learn something… #
"I don't listen to any other artist but myself, 'cause I'm better than all of them, so why would I bother? You should check out my stuff!" #

Get out of my head Def Leppard songs. #
@Le_Berger Me too! Woo hoooooooooooo! in reply to Le_Berger #
Great sound experience: Headphones on to work on mixing, heard a strange enveloped buzz: a fly landed on the earpiece- sound transferred in. #
@Le_Berger I finally bought a bottle of Hendricks, since everyone loves it, and … underwhelmed. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger Colorado has lots of local juniper so we have a good gin industry. Great local distillations. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger However, when I'm mixing G&T I always go for cheap, crappy gin, the flavor's lost w/ all that tonic, so may as well be cheap! in reply to Le_Berger #

@BrewCrewJess Yes, it's a little sound vacation! in reply to BrewCrewJess #
Last tomato plant to ripen has finally done it. Black Icicle. It's pretty amazing, it tastes like barbecue sauce: maple syrup + smoke. #
@Gurdonark Oh man, I knew once, but I can't remember now. It's some kind of corporate law. in reply to Gurdonark #
@Le_Berger We probably have the best selection of tomatoes ever this year. We like them all! Can't say that about previous years. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger Tomatoes are the best. I prefer them more savory: tart & acidy, less sweet, we have some really great tart ones this year. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger Although we do have some sweet ones this year, they're just more complicated tasting than pure sugar fruits I've had before. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger Our technique is to till the soil loose, then layer on about 3" of good compost, then just water every day & pick off hornworms. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger We have great compost. We have 5 really huge trees on our lot (& several smaller ones) + all food waste. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger I can't believe most people throw food in the trash when it's so useful in the compost. If you missed eating it the first time… in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger Oh man, anything to stick it to the man. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger Localize, localize, localize. All politics are local. in reply to Le_Berger #

@mystified131 🙂 Turns out there's 4 30 – 40 min EPs tucked away in there. A bit premature to talk of releasing, need mixing & mastering. in reply to mystified131 #
Less than a month until the Denver Junto concert, 8/19! Cody Yantis, Radere, Offthesky, Pillow Garden, C. Reider, Mysterybear Ten and Tracer #

Not knowing… knowing.

Thursday, 26 July 2012

Jeph Jerman sent me his CD album in collaboration with Albert Casais, titled “And This“.
–
I played it at work today. It struck me as a collection of very quiet sounds.
–
For some reason, by a quirk of technology acting against its design, every time that the CD reached the 1 minute 20 second mark, it skipped back to the 30 second mark, and resumed playing from there, until it came to the 1:20 again.
–
Forty five minutes elapsed before I realized that this was happening.
–
After I realized what was going on, I listened to this same fifty seconds again and again for yet another forty five minutes.

@DaveSeidel It's totally different when the tones come in. Actually I kind of liked the distortion, it didn't read as clipping. in reply to DaveSeidel #
@DaveSeidel Yes, clearly! The intended one is much better. in reply to DaveSeidel #
@echosonic Ha! in reply to echosonic #
Wondering whether I should upload the video of my performance to YouTube or Vimeo. Leaning toward the former. #
@DaveSeidel Yeah, I had to run out to find a pair of 12V myself. Not cheap. in reply to DaveSeidel #
@Steve_Hamann I really liked it… in reply to Steve_Hamann #
Tomato harvest has begun. Many green grapes, brown berries, costoluto fiorentino & carbons. #
Soon there will be black crim, black icicle, striped roman, chili verde. Heirloom tomatoes are the best. #
I'm listening back to my minimal techno material that I recorded right before the Electret Quintet. Probably ought to release that stuff. #
@DaveSeidel 1.5 A w/ pos tip. in reply to DaveSeidel #
@dpnem ha. Thing is, I held onto it because I really liked it, but now I've moved on and I'm not so sure about it. Would rather not rework in reply to dpnem #

@jinjurly Dude when are you going to don your combat boots and join a band? in reply to jinjurly #
@jinjurly Dude just clomp around and make brappy noises, who needs practice! in reply to jinjurly #
@jinjurly ha ha in reply to jinjurly #
We're having the Wonderbar cocktail. It's equal parts gin, cointreau & pineapple juice. Don't think I like it, it's pretty sweet. #
My minimal techno stuff definitely does NOT sound like it was made with Ableton Live. #
I'm kind of rediscovering this stuff… no idea how I did some of it. #
Looks like there's about three 30 min. EPs worth of material. #
It's 9:30 and it's so fucking hot. Screw Summer. #

Every bike tire pump I've ever bought is complete BS. The part under most stress made of plastic, so it breaks too easily. #
The only regret I have about not having TV is when it's Wimbledon / US Open season. Congrats Roger Federer! Unbelievable. #
I think this latest @djunto has produced some of my favorite results yet. http://t.co/sGUFi8gP #

Ho-lee shit! The new synths that arrived are HEAVY like a sledgehammer. #
I'm writing a few handwritten letters to go in packages that will be going out – haven't done that in a while. #

@tobiasreber That's actually quite exciting to look at. I'm glad there's at least one girl involved! I'll bet you're proud! in reply to tobiasreber #
A good practice today incorporating the new drone synths and glass harp. Unconvinced this is a good setup though – More play required. #

These people might either kill you and eat you, or help you with your router. #
Leaving you as hollow as they are. With a working router. And no soul. #
Dear glob. These are the stock photos belonging to the company I'm *fleeing to* – Is this really the only other option? Pale blue emptiness #
Two crappy companies competing for a tiny market they don't really pay attention to otherwise. Is that really competition? #

Buddha Reduction is the remix of the week for @buddhamachine's @soundcloud: http://t.co/7oRNVpLf #
"Reducing the Buddha" article in @disquiet by Marc Weidenbaum about Buddha Reduction: http://t.co/YXlrAXJo #
I just want to say that the fact that Skybeam raised my monthly rate w/o notification and then throttled my upload speed makes me furious. #
@Gurdonark If Skybeam were a person, I would feel tempted to punch him in the face. I would refrain of course, but I would feel this. in reply to Gurdonark #
@PBK_ I'm also using synths. New to live performance and new to synths! Adventure time! in reply to PBK_ #
Very soon a gin and tonic & some fresh melon will cool my temper. A telephone call to Skybeam's competitor will also help. #

Minireviews of netlabel stuff.
All of this stuff is free.
Look at all of those no-deriv licenses (grumble grumble). What’re you afraid of?
–
–
–
–
–
–

Barascud – Summit
Nowaki / CC BY NC SA
http://www.nowaki-music.org/album.php?id=149#album149
Well made guitar-ambient music alternating between neutral drone atmospheres and prettier stylings. I am partial to the former and not so interested in the latter, but for this kind of thing, it hits its marks fairly well.

–
–

Alex Charles – Trevenec
Linear Obsessional / CC BY NC SA
http://linearobsessional.bandcamp.com/album/trevenec
Drones based on bell sounds. Peals & jingles add up from a simple beginning to a thicker soundscape. Later, what sounds like thumb piano from a jack-in-the-box lends a gone-mad feel to it.

–
–

Conure – Surrounded by Pages
Treetrunk / CC BY NC ND
http://archive.org/details/Surrounded_By_Pages/
NOISE! Often this kind of thing is better live and misses something in recording, but I liked this one quite a bit. Needless to say that if you demand that the sounds you consume be all rounded off & padded and pre-approved for safety, this ain’t for you. Starts off with a long piece that builds to a satisfying heaviness by adding elements slowly to the ever swirling miasma. Other tracks take a more modified approach, such as the second one wherein a quiet guitar loop is joined by a spacey hum, and it only builds into a high volume squall eventually and only briefly. Overall a measured, patient & varied approach to harsh noise. Very enjoyable.

–
–

René Muñoz Córdova – The Fragility of Emotions
Akharene / CC BY NC ND
http://akharene.blogspot.com.es/2012/05/fragility-of-emtions.html
Top shelf acousmatic drone work from this veteran netlabel composer. The drones here oscillate forebodingly enough, and are paired with various instruments (piano, percussion, brass) and other unidentified acoustic sound activity filling out the sound field. Not a huge amount of processing going on, much of it sounds like something that happened, not something conjured from a laptop.

–
–

FJRicharts – Anders Als Alle
Camomile / CC BY NC ND
http://camomille.bandcamp.com/album/anders-als-alle
Brightly tinted ambient music that often flirts with sweet melodic motifs and occasionally gives in.

–
–

Hirobleep – Carved in Concrete
Hirobleep / CC BY NC ND
http://hirobleep.bandcamp.com/album/carved-in-concrete
Insistent and simplistic primitive-techno jams based on a very limited palette of square & saw waves. Each high BPM track contains the same elements, a repeating bass line and a dissonant “melody” that also repeats, backed by a reedy drum loop clattering underneath. Once the pattern is set, that mixture repeats from the beginning to the end, with filter sweeps providing the only variety. On its own, it has a few moments, but I could really see this remixed into something good. It’s too bad then, that they issued this with a no-derivatives CC license, because we’ll never know.

–
–

Hunted Creatures – Summer Tour 2011 / Hunted Creatures Cassette
self-released / CC BY NC ND
http://huntedcreatures.bandcamp.com/album/summer-tour-2011-cassette-dynamo-sound-collective-2011
http://huntedcreatures.bandcamp.com/album/hunted-creatures-cassette-800-wild-2011
CC net re-releases of two previously released cassette albums by this improvising quartet of guitar / violin / electronics / percussion. Most of the pitfalls of this kind of band setup are deftly avoided. There’s no rock posturing and more tension than release. When the drums finally do kick in, it’s more kosmische than crimson.

–
–

Noisemaker – Space Drones
Inside Outside / ?? (at this writing the netlabel page is down, I can’t determine license)
http://ins-out.com/inside/releases/insd-010/
A pair of completely lovely drones. The first sounds like its source might be a high tempo drum machine looping a single tom hit run through liberal amounts of chorus & delay. Somehow this builds into an enveloping atmosphere of shimmering overtones. The second track is a low frequency hum, a higher frequency whine and a repeating ping. The simple things make me happy sometimes. The netlabel Ins Out seems to be down at the moment, I hope it comes back, because I can’t seem to find this release on Archive or Sonic Squirrel or other likely places.

–
–

Noise Research with Shaun Blezard – the Lanternhouse
Electronic Musik / CC BY NC ND
http://electronicmusik.wordpress.com/2012/05/19/new-ep-from-noise-research-with-shaun-blezard-the-lanternhouse/
Blurry sonic meanderings with little patience for sticking around in one noise pile when there’s another inviting noise pile to jump into right nearby.

–
–

Sarah J Ritch – String Theory
Pan y Rosas / License not listed
http://www.panyrosasdiscos.net/pyr048-sarah-j-ritch-string-theory/
Cello & violin pieces with some electronics. Call me crazy, but I hear hints of epic black metal in some sections and microsound electronic ambient stuff in others. The pieces with Ritch solo are more drawn out & patient, one has a subdued drone of frequencies beating, cresting & ebbing.
