Disquiet

• Thanks, @tobiasreber The epic fail of 1965 Cage/Bernstein event is all I ever read about. I'd like more on the event itself. @geetadayal #
• .@geetadayal Like to know more about 50-channel mixer Matthews made for the 1965 Bernstein/NYPhil production of Cage's Atlas Eclipticalis. #
• RT @soundscrapers Reviewing a set of mechanical drawings today, i came across something called an elbow silencer. #
• Loving the word "co-belligerent" on WWII memorial in Golden Gate Park. #
• Fresh from a visit to the Academy of Sciences, where the intense HVAC gives voice to all the resident sea creatures. #
• This is the "before" of the One AM Radio track remixed by Prefuse 73: http://t.co/cdc3boO #
• Foghorn sounds like Odin set his cellphone on vibrate. #
• Free Prefuse 73 remix of One AM Radio http://bit.ly/eotQRi via @rcrdlbl I don't hear the #folk tag but he crunches their dreampop splendidly #
• Sounds after midnight: light electronic buzz, night bus, car running stop sign, TV creaking as it cools. #
• Nice when you start a new blog, and the first comment is helpful, informative, snarkless. http://typelesswriter.com/ #ipad #writing #postpc #
• Charles Ives per chance: http://snd.sc/iaQYj1 Field recording of two school bands practicing simultaneously, by @markrushtoncom #
• Reminder, if you do the #facebook there's a Disquiet.com page for that: http://www.facebook.com/disquiet.fb #
• WonderCon's in San Francisco this weekend. I won't make it, but do track down Gustavo Alberto Garcia Vaca's E.A. Poe lit-remix project. #
• Excellent stuff at CCRMA/Stanford this Sat, April 2: Trimpin, Wobbly, Sutekh, more. http://j.mp/fTSQvx Wish I could make it. #
• #madcomposer RT @DJ_Moderne When I saw AMC was trending I thought it was because of the American Music Center/Meet the Composer merger LOL! #
• Noon test alarm in San Francisco, right on schedule, the post-siren voice like a neighbor ordering lunch delivery. #
• May the cloud-storage price wars now begin! #
• So, the deal with Amazon Cloud Player is we get an extra 15gb if we buy one album. But in a year we'll need to pay for that space, right? #
• "This event has been reviewed by a seismologist." #
• Gonna be much politician-style backpeddling re: the "you're outta luck" Apple/AmazonCloud coverage, but if a song streams, it streams. #
• How to play MP3s on iPad from Amazon Cloud Player: click box next to song, select "download," say "no" to manager. Browser streams song. #
• Now streaming a song from Amazon's Cloud Player to my iPad. Why have so many articles I've read this morning said this isn't possible? #
• RT @Chris_Randall I mentally replace "cloud" with "FTP site with a snazzy front end, and a strict limit on file types." #
• It's unfortunate how @goodreads lists graphic novels solely by the writer. #
• A night bus passes, its rattle heard several blocks in advance of its passing, and it moves as quickly as it is empty. #
• Listened to the instrumental of Common's "Cold Blooded" on repeat for an hour straight again today. #
• Outside is like the @newyorker back page, each lyric fragment of each passing car radio striving to caption the insanely beautiful afternoon #
• Me: "Anything sound-art-ish going on in Las Vegas currently?" @compactrobot: "Have you ever heard a casino?" #
• Anything sound-art-ish going on in Las Vegas currently? #
• Much more interested in moiré patterns than in diptychs. #
• Thanks to iPad-using novelist @Richard_Kadrey for his guest entry on my fledgling http://typelesswriter.com/ blog: http://j.mp/ifgqgN #
• Can you "write" on an iPad? There's a blog for that: http://typelesswriter.com #
• Listened to instrumental of Common's "Cold Blooded" on repeat for last hour. #
• Morning sounds: baby yawns, birds out front, fluorescent bulb drone, hard drive (TiVo), car. #
• "@ntabebe Holding roll of noiseless packing tape. I cannot be alone in thinking the noise is most satisfying part of packing tape." #eartwit #
• The radio plays @cartalk as I tend to chores around the house. The show is an encyclopedia of emotionally fraught automotive onomatopoeia. #
