Tom Tancredo. Doug Bruce. RT: @implicitorder: What's #creepy or #spooky near your home? #
Today there will be some much needed email/internet time, and then very much cutting and hauling of timber that fell in the recent snow. #
@mystified131 It was great. Jeff & I didn't get a chance to talk much, but he's a cool guy in person! in reply to mystified131 #
@dpnem @implicitorder … if she's not a witch… then WHAT IS SHE!?!?!? in reply to dpnem #
Augh! Should never email before coffee! First miscommunication of the day already! Sheesh. #
About half way to clearing the fallen timber from the recent snow storm. Have hauled twenty plus truckbeds full. Very sore. #
Eesh. Rick Perry is tweaking. http://t.co/0D8FVDks #

@Steve_Hamann So much of how music gets constructed is alien to listeners (and musicians) in reply to Steve_Hamann #
@disquiet Jarboe told me about how when she saw Faust, the singer thrust a running chainsaw into the audience near her head. in reply to disquiet #
@cinchel @Le_Berger I used to use many project names. It ended up being a hassle & watered down familiarity w/ my name. Just C. Reider now in reply to cinchel #
@disquiet Now, with chainsaws, that could be a very interesting opera. in reply to disquiet #
Snow lightning! Gah! #
… and the leaves have still not fallen off the trees. Tonights forecast big snow gives me a bad feeling. #
Awesome, my 15 minutes: If you go here right now, my stupid face is on the newspaper's website: http://t.co/jmbTFK4u #
@implicitorder I was dropping off my election ballot. A reporter was there when I voted & took my foto/info. Probably in the paper tomorrow in reply to implicitorder #
My lesson about the stock market today is that investors really hate the threat of democracy. #greece #poopinginthepunchbowl #
In Chicago I plan on yelling "UP YOURS" to everyone I meet. This should endear me to the locals, right? #
@mrdankelly Confused is my normal state of being. in reply to mrdankelly #
@ValhallArts They're doing everything they can to accomplish nothing so that they can win the White House and "take back America". Strategy. in reply to ValhallArts #
@mrdankelly That is brilliant! in reply to mrdankelly #
@ValhallArts Smells like something, alright. in reply to ValhallArts #
And now there is a new Dystimbria track from Mystified! "Power Drain" — GO http://t.co/tE7ASdCp #
@mystified131 Thank YOU! I just now rushed to get it up before my Chicago trip. in reply to mystified131 #
@newpractice So I was told! I'm not up on my flavors of rudeness! in reply to newpractice #
When someone says "you're weird" they probably mean "you have taken time to develop diverse & rarified interests, and I have not." #
The train has just pulled up, looks like we'll depart on time in about an hour! #
Suggestions for the lady? RT @c_a_harebell I am a bachelor until Wednesday. I'm trying to think of bad stuff to do, but my mind is blank. #
I am in Chicago. We pulled into Union Station about four hours late. It's almost 7 local time. #
I will have no problem sleeping tonight. Now to figure out how to get out of Union Station and to where I need to be. #
@c_a_harebell So far it appears that they are either not there or asleep. Naked and asleep. (?) in reply to c_a_harebell #
@implicitorder This: http://t.co/MDaLUegg in reply to implicitorder #
Chicago is a great sounding city. #
A travelogue, if you care to read it: http://t.co/w8UxRFRS #
@c_a_harebell I haven't been, I ought to. Just too overwhelmed right now to think to do it! in reply to c_a_harebell #
Some academics don't realize they're speaking another language. Perhaps communication isn't the point. #
Walked through affluent touristy district. I looked out of place enough that several ppl asked ME for directions. #
So far I have learned at the sound art theories symposium that I had better take some advanced philosophy classes. #
I met a woman doing a dissertation on black metal in contemporary art. Exclamation point. #
At the sound art symposium, very few of the people I'm meeting are willing to identify as sound artists. My eyebrow is raised. #
A girl from China at the hostel is wearing a sweater that says "crap | future | shoes | toys | books | music" #
@c_a_harebell I am very, very amused by these Chinese kids playing ping pong. Hilariousness. #
Where I'm at: http://t.co/p8btPpgc #
@c_a_harebell A "Faulkner". Is this some sort of dildo? in reply to c_a_harebell #
I was informed by some locals that the MCA Chicago "doesn't know what it is". Perhaps the opposite problem exists in Fort Collins. #
Q: Who is the audience? A (from the audience): Got me! #

First snow of the year. It started too late for us to get ice cream, maybe tomorrow. #
Big snowstorm, many big branches down! Have electricity now, last night, not so much. #
@cinchel For us it's normal to have some significant snows at this time. Sadly our trees were still in full leaf, so many downed limbs. in reply to cinchel #
@DaveSeidel Right now my yard looks like a tornado has come through. I've never seen tree damage quite this bad. The whole town was hit hard in reply to DaveSeidel #
While without power, wifey wanted a warm boozey drink to heat on the gas stove. Jay, at the liquor store suggested Glühwein. Very yummy! #
When the electricity is out, and the house is silent, my tinnitus seems especially loud. #noiselife #
@c_a_harebell On Spotify, look up Xenakis Pleiades / Psappha – it's pretty much awesome. #
I am happy to report that as of today, I have safely made it around the sun forty times. #

@mystified131 @saffronslumber Thanks! I'm comfortable being an old fart. Young people suck! 😀 in reply to mystified131 #

http://t.co/TgUTzqrG #
@saffronslumber Ah, it's all so arbitrary. I'm just going with accepted opinion, because I have no real stake in the matter. in reply to saffronslumber #
@saffronslumber Selected young people rock. As for the whole, I'm going to have to take exception! in reply to saffronslumber #
@Le_Berger It's one of the better stouts I've had, even a bit of a good hoppy bite. in reply to Le_Berger #
@ValhallArts One day, those eggs are going to hatch, and some very strange birds are going to emerge. #
@Le_Berger Ha, I live in Colorado, we have no such problem! in reply to Le_Berger #
@saffronslumber 🙂 Maybe I should modify that to selected people are alright, but on the whole, people suck! 😀 in reply to saffronslumber #
So many emails to reply to! Will I get to any before Sunday? Do I get a medal if I do this? #
Minus: In the past 24 hours I've had a level 10 yelling fight w/ the boss, attended a funeral and aided a guy having a grandmal seizure. #
Plus: Tonight I'm going to see one of my favorite bands – Thinking Plague – and I'll meet #netlabel artist Jeff Sampson there. #
@cinchel Glad you like it! in reply to cinchel #
@cinchel Hey, BTW I'm going to be in Chicago next week. I'm swamped right now, but I'll send an email or DM soon. in reply to cinchel #
@cinchel I'm looking forward to the opening of the Clyfford Still museum! My instructor's going to the opening. I'll wait until Dec. or Jan. in reply to cinchel #
@jshell They do still make Radio Shack, but it breaks one week after you get it out of the box. in reply to jshell #

@Gurdonark @dpnem When I was younger "experimental music" (acc'd to some) was for academics, the rest is just noise. Things have changed. in reply to Gurdonark #
Ugly mayhem at @airandspace museum instigated by conservative agent provocateur: http://t.co/0okbW4Vr #ows #
@Gurdonark @dpnem I would say that experimental music never was an academic thing, that it was a bad attitude. This is what changed. in reply to Gurdonark #
@Gurdonark @dpnem I just recalled this kind of thing in the comment about sound art being something for academics. in reply to Gurdonark #
@Gurdonark I meant bad attitude separating "academic experimental music" on one side vs "just noise" on the other. It was a false separation in reply to Gurdonark #

Jeezus. Is Obama STILL giving up stuff on the health care law in hopes of a "compromise"? #
What's wrong with the term "experimental music"? #
@saffronslumber Alright, so why is everyone abandoning it for "sound art", a term which already has a meaning? in reply to saffronslumber #
@mystified131 Very good point. Music is a minefield of a term. However art is a goddamned NUCLEAR FUCKING BOMB of a term, so why? in reply to mystified131 #
My point is that "experimental music" has a history that we can associate with. "Sound art" has a history too. Check before using the term. #
@saffronslumber It's not necessarily so controversial in so much as words have actual meaning. To me misuse is not controversy, it's misuse. in reply to saffronslumber #
@LuxFero23 It's a good term to use. in reply to LuxFero23 #
@saffronslumber You should adopt no terminology without being aware of its history and connotations. Be aware. in reply to saffronslumber #
.@LuxFero23 Some terminology has meanings that go beyond mere "genre" – it's important to be aware of what labels you append to yourself in reply to LuxFero23 #
@saffronslumber "Experimental music" has enough of a history that you can learn from a variety of viewpoints. Best scenario. "Sound art" too in reply to saffronslumber #
@Gurdonark Agreed. 🙂 in reply to Gurdonark #
@Steve_Hamann This is a good point. Dilution of terminology is problematic. This is why I object to the use of "sound art" from musicians. in reply to Steve_Hamann #
@saffronslumber The best thing, as with anything, is to expose yourself to as much as possible & arrive at your own POV through the process. in reply to saffronslumber #
To paraphrase Werner Herzog's advice, if you want to be an experimental music composer, "READ, READ, READ, READ, READ, READ, READ." #
@saffronslumber It's about understanding. Terms mean things. Experimental music is a good term for us to understand & use. in reply to saffronslumber #
@saffronslumber Mainly, I'm protesting the use of "sound art" instead of "experimental music". I think "sound art" is inappropriate. in reply to saffronslumber #
@Steve_Hamann This is another good point, and a good example is what happened to "industrial music". in reply to Steve_Hamann #
@saffronslumber If one understood that "sound art" arrives from a confluence of contemporary visual art practice and sonic art practice… in reply to saffronslumber #
@saffronslumber … then "sound art" is obviously inappropriate from a netlabel release of experimental music. … in reply to saffronslumber #
@saffronslumber … from there arises the question, what was wrong with the term "experimental music" that one had to search elsewhere? in reply to saffronslumber #
@saffronslumber I think it is appropriate that the netlabel community be a forum for experimental music. Where else would it go? in reply to saffronslumber #
@saffronslumber The best way a netlabel can stand out is by 1) release good material 2) engage the community. in reply to saffronslumber #
@LuxFero23 I haven't listened to them since sometime in the 90s. Great band, yeah! in reply to LuxFero23 #
@ValhallArts It's a fine concept with clear history & definablility that some people (inexplicably) are shying away from. in reply to ValhallArts #
@disquiet Good question. You mean just marking the book as read, but not rating at all? I'd guess that doesn't count in the averaging. in reply to disquiet #
Hm. Looks like I might want to pick up the new Pole album, sounds good: http://t.co/CibBu7m4 #
@hecanjog Music is often empty in reply to hecanjog #
@hecanjog Music is a set of rails. in reply to hecanjog #
@hecanjog Music is, (as spirit is), a bone. in reply to hecanjog #
@hecanjog On the other hand, music is the wind between the grass. in reply to hecanjog #
Ambitious. #
Is it buy another book about sound art, or is it save the forty dollars? Books are 'spensive. #

Canadian composer Samuel Landry, better known in the netlabel underground as Le Berger, has stretched himself out of the comfort zone to produce a satisfyingly raspy track for the fourth release on the new netlabel Dystimbria, which exists to be a musical conversation about the no-man’s land between ambient and noise music.

Please visit http://dystimbria.cc to download Le Berger’s “Cheptel éparpillé”.

If artistic practice involves a dialogue with material, why does the artist get all the credit? It wasn't a monologue, after all. #

@dpnem I would be happy to discuss this with you, — I am studying sound art toward the goal of curating an exhibition of it in Spring. in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem I would say sound art is born from a convergence of experimental music practice and visual art practice. in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem I would also say that sound art is art in which sound is the primary conveyor of meaning. in reply to dpnem #
Brr. It's in the 30s here. My tomatoes are okay though! 🙂 #
@dpnem I think that is a misconception, and it wasn't that long ago someone might have said the same about experimental vs. "regular" music in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem The exhibition I am curating will hopefully feature work by a lot of "irregular joes"! in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem The last few years of netlabel activity have proven that experimental music is very accessible, from production & audience POV – in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem -Sound art is exactly the same, it is a wide open field ready to be explored, by whomever. in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem The boundaries of both are completely blurred. I don't think that is the distinction. Music and abstract sound are in both. in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem Sound art is when experimental music converges with the visual arts, such as sculpture or installation, or performance art. in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem Defining it is a bit slippery, but it's like porno, you know it when you see it. Oh, hello sound-art pornbots! in reply to dpnem #

@cinchel Shop around, shop around, shop around! It's a big purchase. in reply to cinchel #
@cinchel If you don't do anything special, just absolute base model whitelabels, yeah, probably 2200-2500. in reply to cinchel #

Triceratops

Sunday, 25 September 2011

There is a brand new track up at Dystimbria, the new netlabel begun less than a month ago…
–
The new track has been submitted by Dave Keifer under his Kid Feardive moniker. He also does music under the name Cagey House.
–
The new track adds to the continuum, using samples from the previous two pieces released on the label as source material, while adding new material into the mix. The new composition remains in flux throughout its length, presenting several scenarios that quiver and shudder under tension and then transition into something else, stretching into new shapes, new tensions.
–
Check out “Triceratops” by Kid Feardive at http://dystimbria.cc

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 #

@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? #

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 #
