Disquiet

• Video of my introductory statement at the 4/19 Chicago Disquiet Junto Enemy group concert: http://t.co/lmuhx2AE #
• Funny: The sound of a raging Dyson hand dryer from the bathroom of a small quiet cafe. #
• Many thanks to @peterkirn for this thoughtful overview of Disquiet Junto, LX(RMX), & Instragr/am/mbient: http://t.co/5qSdxXDy #
• More on this when time frees up, but I have a piece on San Francisco’s sonic-arts infrastructure at @artpractical: http://t.co/zwKL1lW2 #
• The 16th Disquiet Junto project is at http://t.co/XdRJsrQ9. Due Monday, April 23, at 11:59pm wherever you are. #
• RIP, graphic designer David Hillman Curtis (b. 1961), who directed Ride, Rise, Roar film about the Songs of David Byrne and Brian Eno Tour. #
• Belated RIP, Dick Clark (b. 1929), eternal teenager, and the Band’s Levon Helm (b. 1940), who always seemed old beyond his years. #
• Disquiet Junto 16: Make a new track from samples of dice and sandpaper; use one as background, the other as foreground: http://t.co/XdRJsrQ9 #
• So, er, tonight’s show went later than expected. The 16th Disquiet Junto project will go out shortly. Theme: “Background & Foreground.” #
• Back at the hotel thanks to a ride from @xyzr_kx. Many thanks to @cranksatori & Enemy for hosting the Disquiet Junto concert. #
• Tonight’s Junto show has had 4 Jasons and 3 OP-1s. #
• Second set (three acts) of Disquiet Junto live at Enemy in Chicago about to begin at numbers.fm. #

• Noise-cancellation speaker system at Enemy in Chicago. http://t.co/inik6mmL #
• Nice surprise: Michael Esposito, whose EVP work I’ve enjoyed, is joining Jason Soliday’s set at the Disquiet Junto show in Chicago tonight. #
• Great afternoon at Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago: Marclay, Clark, Creed, Ahearn, Kruger, more. #
• 5.5 hours until the live Disquiet Junto show at Enemy in Chicago (9pm Central), also to stream at numbers.fm. #
• Waking up in Chicago. My cell phone, with its central-time NOLA area code, must feel more at home than in San Francisco. #
• 24 hours from now we’ll be in the middle of the Disquiet Junto concert at Enemy in Chicago. #
• Hotel HVAC in Evanston isn’t too overbearing. Less space station, more Biosphere. #
• Twitter is doing crazy things with my DMs. Ones from the past keep popping up as new. Cc @Support #

• Country music on the radio in a ramen restaurant (in Santa Clara). #
• Man, I am so excited about this Chicago Disquiet Junto show: http://t.co/ak3PTwrj. Thursday can’t arrive quickly enough. #
• Presentation by @voxeet on conference calls @demo. Smart. VU meters & freeform 3D-audio placement distinguish who’s talking. #
• Most interesting thing on the radio while driving south on 101 was the scan button. http://t.co/SjoVuLwP #
• RT @xyzr_kx playing noise show Thursday w/ @disquiet Junto. don’t expect singing…or notes. well there might be notes http://t.co/HPkcevKJ #
• “Rendition” sounds clandestine. “Portal” makes me think of a video game. What word will I lose next to a reference? #
• Everything I know about parenting I learned from the “Splicers” episode of Batman Beyond. #
• 28th entry in 15th Junto (depicting RGB interactions in sound) is by 1st-time participant @joshcarr: http://t.co/CNDU1Dsj #
• Anyone else going to @demo tomorrow? Anything in particular I should check out? #
• I wrote on @SoundCloud -> @aworks commented about fluidity in listening habits -> people argue about audio formats http://t.co/qVHNvt56 #oy #
• So far, my experience of the Jambox is only confirming my sense that Bluetooth is the fax of the digital era. #
• Eager for Jonathan Lethem’s Fear of Music book from 33 1/3. His They Live fan-notes book was stellar. #
• Excited to head to Chicago for a few days. If anything’s going on I shouldn’t miss (sound-wise/gallery-wise) lemme know. #
• If you’re in Chicago Thursday, come hear/see Disquiet Junto live: http://t.co/j4fUeVOe #
• Thanks, @aworks, for weighing in on my @newmusicbox @soundcloud piece, in regard to the slow march of music formats: http://t.co/8Ez6b6So #
• Images of @salvagione book(let) (Element) due from new @boondesign venture (Extracurricular Press) with an essay by me http://t.co/rEScHDeH #

• Cafe radio is channeling my college years: first Violent Femmes, now R.E.M. Guessing there will be no Metallica, John Zorn, or Cecil Taylor. #
