• @cinchel Always include a link when you say something like that! 🙂 in reply to cinchel #
• @dpnem Don't try to convince me, I'm not hearing it. in reply to dpnem #
• @dpnem Yeah, my new Sound Through Barriers website is getting a shitpot full of hits from FB too. in reply to dpnem #
• @Le_Berger It should please you to know that due to @dpnem's mention of your work, it is flying off the shelves… very many downloads! #
• @dpnem Ha! Hard to get rid of those language remnants. I still say "thank God" too, & I've long since shuffled off the shackles of religion. in reply to dpnem #
• @particlezoo Do people complain that it takes too long to fill orders, like you should have a warehouse full of these somewhere? in reply to particlezoo #
• We walked in Lyons today, picked some fresh juniper berries to have with some local gin! #
• Direct messages on twitter are borked right now, I guess. #
• It is my view that it's difficult and unnatural to remove ego from creative work. #
• Halvah. #
• @Le_Berger Never assume that good work goes unnoticed! in reply to Le_Berger #
• @dpnem @Le_Berger A brand new piece just upcoming on Dystimbria, possibly tonight! Something to look forward to. in reply to dpnem #
• @hecanjog I've been really dwelling on some of the acusmatikoi – I love their music, but I reject the philosophy. in reply to hecanjog #
• @hecanjog I think any action you take creatively is an identifier of who you are, so ego is present even when you attempt to vanish. in reply to hecanjog #
• @particlezoo Carrie & I work at a co. that does lotsa xmas business to-order. Our turnaround is pretty good, but ppl still are jerks. #
• @particlezoo It's ended up over the years wearing down all good feelings I ever had about the holiday. It's almost over! #
• NEW! The 6th piece of the Dystimbria continuum has been revealed! Alan Morse Davies contributes some gritty quietnoise: http://t.co/tE7ASdCp #
• My top netlabel releases are currently narrowed down to 1.3 days worth of material. Snip, snip, snip. #
• @cinchel What does it do? Will it make my life more interesting? 🙂 in reply to cinchel #
• Another book on sound art has come in the mail! I need to read faster. #
• @noisician Cage looms large over sound art, but pre-dates it. – Seth Kim-Cohen's book is quite good, not sure I agree w/ it though. in reply to noisician #
• @noisician Dry… well… pretty heavy with theory. in reply to noisician #
• My Top 3 #lastfm Artists: Muslimgauze (25), Brian Eno (10) & Stephen Vitiello (9) http://t.co/tvPbaNRK #
• @atbense @tobiasreber The Laibach version. in reply to tobiasreber #
• Man, there was a lot of good music put out on netlabels in 2011. #
• @disquiet I'm glad you like it! I'm pretty fond of it too! in reply to disquiet #
• @saffronslumber Interesting thought. You consume music even when it's free, you know. in reply to saffronslumber #
• RT: @TrAiskin: Centrozoon. bleep! : http://t.co/IcVtt8ga #
• @tobiasreber This is the only redeeming thing about the existence of that awful song. It exists only to have been covered by Laibach. in reply to tobiasreber #
• @saffronslumber Until we are consumed, we are consumers. in reply to saffronslumber #
• Dessert: Local popcorn, local chunk honey, local gin & (not local) blue cheese. #
• You don't need credentials to be a part of the creative commons netlabel underground. #
• 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! #
• @hecanjog Great, listening now! "Owning Extinctions" was my key work this year. in reply to hecanjog #
• @Le_Berger Don't waste all those good veggies on impalement. At least use something like okra or eggplant that's not yummy. in reply to Le_Berger #
• @dpnem Do you use captcha? Between a good captcha & akismet my spam isn't bad. Then I don't have as much traffic as you & Marc. in reply to dpnem #
• @dpnem I've never drunk a pumpkin ale, the idea of it seems as awful as fruit beers (lambic excluded). in reply to dpnem #
• "I was going to say something about meat curtains…" RT: @c_a_harebell: #fuckedupbento http://t.co/1I8wnSgF #
• @disquiet Well, have a good time away from Twitter, and have a happy new year! in reply to disquiet #
• Still re-capping netlabel releases 2011. I've got my faves whittled down to 24 hours worth of music. #
• 22.7 hours! Whittle, whittle. #
• @dpnem Funny, I'll drink a cocoa porter, or a coffee stout, but a fruit beer? NEVER! (Lambic excepted) in reply to dpnem #
• 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 #
• @thinkprogress: @snooksarmy Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner _IS_ a large posterior. #
• @dpnem I avoid iTunes hate by sticking with an old version of iTunes that works – never updating. in reply to dpnem #
• @disquiet Also C. Theron is kind of a rubbery emotionless doll of an actor. in reply to disquiet #
• Annoying that all the grumpy jerks are all warm and friendly for a few days before xmas. Me, I just stay grumpy & jerky all year long. #
• @Le_Berger Thanks kindly! in reply to Le_Berger #
• @Le_Berger Huzzah! Prog 4-evah! or maybe that should be 5-evah! in reply to Le_Berger #
• Very close to having my best of 2011 netlabel list. I'll probably write the post this weekend, and post it when no one's paying attention. #
• @Le_Berger Keep stretching! in reply to Le_Berger #
• Erased Silent Night (after Rauschenberg) by @vuzhmusic via #soundcloud http://t.co/314SVYf0 #
• @Le_Berger That didn't stop me: http://t.co/lSsdnJRG in reply to Le_Berger #
• @mrdankelly Or this: http://t.co/NRyzSsNh in reply to mrdankelly #
• I don't have to work until next year! Woo hoo! #
• Mystified did a version of Silent Night http://t.co/evClHpAB and I did too http://t.co/NRyzSsNh Contrast and compare. #
• @mothra_stewart All the good gum & money is down there. in reply to mothra_stewart #
• @Le_Berger Ha ha. Speechless! in reply to Le_Berger #
• Oh shit, internet, are you going to be boring all fucking weekend? Where are all the ATHEISTS for crying out loud? #
• @snooksarmy A boring internet should be a sin. If there were a god, it would be. in reply to snooksarmy #

• @hecanjog Wow, thanks for saying so! in reply to hecanjog #

2011, my 20th year in music, was a very active year for me, even given the fact that I began a hiatus from creating music after the first third of the year.
–
My releases
I re-released Crook’d Finger vs. Harlan / Crook’d Finger vs. D.Rhythm:O early in the year…
–
Not long after that came the massive compilation The More Unknown C. Reider, a collection of artists using sounds appropriated from my work to compose their own music.
–
Then there was what I consider to be my ‘major’ work of the year, Owning Extinctions, a response, in sound, to the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
–
Modisti was kind enough to release my experiments with sine waves, Formerly Sine Drones in June.
–
I re-released a very early collaborative work featuring myself, Carrie from Auzel and Terry from Histatic Charge. We called ourselves The Unseelie Court, and our one off release from 1995 titled Fall also came out in June.
–
Finally, I released the inaugural track for the Dystimbria netlabel, a difficult slab of calming drones and sharp noise titled “A Strange Seed”, which used sounds donated by Thomas Park of Mystified, Dave Seidel of Mysterybear and Miquel Parera Jaques.
–
–

New Labels / New Projects
As mentioned, I also began the new netlabel Dystimbria, which is now up to its sixth release. It explores the area between ambient music and noise music with each new track drawing source material from the music that came before.
–
I also created a new subsection of Vuzh Music called Vuzh Underground Editions for releasing classics from the cassette underground into the CC netlabel underground.
–
My biggest project of the year won’t come into fruition until the Spring of 2012, it’s an exhibition of sound art which I am curating as a student project for Front Range Community College. I have a new website for it here: Sound Through Barriers.

• The Implicit Order – They Live in the Sky

• @implicitorder It'll be scaled way back as far as commentary goes, I'll probably do a list. What do you think your best ones were in '11? in reply to implicitorder #
• Let me take a moment to give a hearty congratulations to @disquiet on the occasion of the site's 15th anniversary! #
• Netlabel underground simply would not have been the same without @disquiet – thank you, Marc! #

• First netlabel top 10 of the year that I've seen, by @leonrosado http://t.co/DnA4C4Rw #
• @leonrosado Well you should have done! 🙂 You did include netlabels at least. in reply to leonrosado #
• @leonrosado Good point. in reply to leonrosado #
• @leonrosado Ooh, I'll look at that one right away. in reply to leonrosado #
• I think more people should do top 10 netlabel lists. It's very interesting seeing different tastes & hearing things you missed. #
• @Le_Berger Start scarfing! There's always way more good music than you can keep up with, that's the way it goes! Not a bad thing. 🙂 in reply to Le_Berger #
• A reminder to follow my other twitter account @liminallistener – I'll be shuffling links & thoughts about sound art to that account #

• @dpnem There's some crossover in yours & mine… I need to get typing on my list soon. in reply to dpnem #
• I like that @dpnem 's list of 100 notable netlabel releases uses the word "notable", since @Wikipedia won't acknowledge this notability. #
• Mastering someone else's sound work is always interesting, definitely an opportunity for learning new things. #
• I have sent very, very many emails today. #

The big project I’ve been working on for the last several months, and will be working on until Spring is a sound art exhibition, which I’m curating as a student project in Museum Studies at Front Range Community College.
–
I have just published a call for entries, which you can find at the brand new website I have set up for this project:

Sound Through Barriers.com
–
–
Please check it out, and read through the call for entries and consider entering some work for it!
–
You can also follow my new twitter persona LiminalListener to keep up with news on the project.

It’s the end of year, and I always look forward to reading the end of year best of lists for netlabel music, as it’s a great way to see if I missed anything.
–
I’m still working on my own best of 2011 list, so definitely look for that in the coming weeks…
–
In the meantime, I’m pleased to see that some of my works and those released on my two netlabels have gotten some appreciation in best of lists.
–
Both Mystified’s top 10 list, and the top 10 by Acts of Silence gave a nod to Owning Extinctions by C. Reider. Thanks to both of you!
–
Acts of Silence also lists “Cheptel éparpillé” by Le Berger in his top 10, this track was released on my brand new netlabel Dystimbria.cc, where you can find it and download it for free.
–
Also receiving mentions in Acts of Silence’s 100 notable netlabel releases list were Vuzh Music releases of Apollon – Nox and Auzel – Old and C. Reider’s release on Modisti netlabel “Formerly Sine Drones”.

Terry Burke was my first contact in the hometaper underground, and therefore his first self-titled tape from his project Histatic Charge was the first tape I ever heard from this previously unknown music world. It was recorded in 1989
–
Here be jaunty little synth ditties with off-time rhythms and odd sensibilities.
–
You can – and really ought to – download the whole she-bang for absolutely free right now.
–
Histatic Charge
–

I have re-organized Vuzh Music to reflect the two sides of its release lineup, new music from myself and comrades across the netlabel experimental music underground, and rereleases of some of my favorite tapes from the cassette underground. This latter category will now be released in the subsection called Vuzh Underground Editions (VUE). VUE has actually been around for quite a few years, but had been backburnered when Vuzh Music made the transition from CDr label to netlabel. You’ll find that the idea hasn’t been dormant, however. When you go to the link, you can see that there are four releases classified in the VUE category that have come out during 2011.
–
The front page of Vuzh Music now reflects this change, linking Vuzh Underground Editions under Sublabels (even if it is really just a subsection) – and adding a new same-page link to the list of releases “Free Downloads previously released on Cassette”.
–
I think this segregation will help discriminating listeners choose what releases suit their tastes best.
–
Let me know what you think.

• @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 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 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 #

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

• @disquiet browsing now. Don't know if it's 'just' a glitch, but the soundcloud widget on the front page doesn't work. #
• @disquiet Actually, I'm guessing that it's a retro-compatibility issue, I can't upgrade from Firefox 3. The widget works in Safari. in reply to disquiet #
• @disquiet Because my mac is pre-Intel. in reply to disquiet #
• @noisician Just received your cassette, it looks bad-ass, looking forward to listening! Thanks! #
• Just reviewed a couple of unsolicited demos, one was pretty cool, but not right for Vuzh Music. Now I'm prepping a demo of my own. #

• Turning to the cloud for advice. I don't seek out beat music on #netlabels much, are there good ones releasing weird/experimental beats? #
• @dpnem @Gurdonark I love ixi stuff. I've got several things that require mac OS9, but I love them so I still use them. in reply to dpnem #

• @cinchel I know, just this week I was waxing neurotic about being too prolific. This'll be #4 for 2011. in reply to cinchel #
• @cinchel Oh, yeah the one per month release schedule at Vuzh Music is a total experiment, just getting some exposure to some music I like. in reply to cinchel #
• RT: @Gurdonark: "Prolific" as a concept has to be reconfigured for digital. Music as dialogue rather than music as magnum opus. #
• @saffronslumber Thanks! in reply to saffronslumber #

• Hey, wow! A full new mix of an album from the 70s that doesn't make everything sound 700x worse. I had almost given up on this kind of thing #

• Oh look, Winter is here again. #
• If I had the time, I would write an essay on being prolific in the context of netlabels. But I do not have that time. Maybe in May. #
• @mystified131 Truthfully, I'm on hiatus from composing. All of my energies are going toward the sound art exhibition I'm curating. in reply to mystified131 #
• @dpnem Oh, I do look forward to that! I'm sure I'd have a different take on the subject, but I'm happy to see that @mystified131 wrote this. in reply to dpnem #

• @hecanjog I would be interested in hearing more about this. in reply to hecanjog #
• @hecanjog Interesting thoughts. I agree. I stopped identifying as a musician a few years ago. I identify as a composer now. in reply to hecanjog #
• @hecanjog I hesitate to say it, but I feel as though I am moving away from music… in reply to hecanjog #
• @hecanjog Towards… ? I could say 'sound' but this actually feels a bit restrictive-I'm happier just saying I'm in-between and on the move. in reply to hecanjog #
• @Le_Berger No worries, in my case, anyway it's about conceiving of oneself and ones context in culture. in reply to Le_Berger #
• @Le_Berger Not so much about crises or giving up as progressing and growing into awareness. in reply to Le_Berger #
• @hecanjog You might look into the ideas of someone like Jeph Jerman (or other acousmatic composers) who suggest separating music from ego. in reply to hecanjog #
• @hecanjog … not exactly my approach, but worthy of consideration. in reply to hecanjog #
• @hecanjog It's been important in my case to use existential moments like this to facilitate personal change. It's just part of the process. in reply to hecanjog #
