  • RT @kimcascone: nice write up on my new CD here: http://t.co/PV8hJsI #
  • Much data visualization is Edward Tufte fan art. #
  • Wondering how WYSIWYG suggests some sort of user benefit, when its root is, clearly and deservedly, the consumer caveat YGWYPF. #
  • Very excited about new Steven Soderbergh, Contagion, due in September, mostly because it means there's a new Cliff Martinez score. #

  • Pondering sound "quality" on cassette from 1990s DJ scene in San Francisco. How much is age, materials, production, source audio, imagined? #
  • My neighborhood, San Francisco's Richmond District, has two modes, which I think of as Glasgow & Santa Monica. Today: Glasgow. #

  • Illo to Slate new-music article tells different (& better) story than article itself: traditions old (chamber) & new (rock) work together. #

  • Listening to art. Playing with audio. Sounding out technology. Composing in code. #
  • Disappointed that Silence! The Musical is about Hannibal Lecter not John Cage, though the punctuation is a giveaway. http://goo.gl/dOflg #

  • The splice on the loop goes round and round, round and round, round and round … all through the song #noiseparent #noiselife #
