field notes / Page-spotting Reloaded

The Page-spotter section of Disquiet.com has been sorted out. It was one of the remaining items to be re-uploaded to the website following Disquiet.com’s backend upgrade this past sumer.
Page-spotter is a bibliography-in-progress on the subject of ambient/electronic music, sound art and related fields. Currently it’s only up to date through 2004 and the earliest entry […]

field notes / Elsewhere 2.0

As the Internet expands, links pages can become less useful, but Disquiet.com nonetheless has long maintained a page of links, titled Elsewhere, related to the subject at hand. I’ve just reworked that page today so that it draws automatically from the links I archive at the highly recommended web service del.icio.us.
The Disquiet.com Elsewhere links are […]

field notes / Relaunch Beta

If this website suddenly looks a little different, here’s why: As of this morning, Disquiet.com has been ported to a new backend publishing system, WordPress (wordpress.org), thanks in no small part to the labor of Nathan Swartz, an independent web developer who makes his home at clicknathan.com. I can’t thank him enough for his effort, […]

field notes / Mid-Summer Silence

A website about quiet music is probably the last place where one might feel the need to explain the virtues of silence. However, two months have passed since I posted at Disquiet.com, and it’s time for a little explanation. I’m excited to report that in a few weeks, tops, Disquiet will be fully ported over […]

field notes / Operational Silence

I’m taking the next week off for a little vacation. There’s one thing I might upload at some point, but otherwise the site will be silent until July 9 or 10.

field notes / Holiday Break

After tomorrow’s Downstream entry and potentially a post or two this weekend, Disquiet.com will take a little holiday break until the first week of January (2006, by the way, marks this website’s 10th anniversary).
