Disquiet

• RIP, soprano Evelyn Lear (b. 1926), acclaimed interpreter of Alban Berg: http://t.co/QPq7kh1A #
• Bonus: along with https://disquiet.com being newly mobile/tablet-responsive, comments will be a whole lot tidier. Likely live this weekend. #
• Blogger’s Remorse: Is a separate topic-specific @tumblr necessary, or should it just be a tag on your existing site? #
• Super close to mobile/tablet-optimized https://disquiet.com. (Main site looks the same. Changes are all about device-based responsiveness.) #
• New @tumblr I’ve got going, collecting links re: the “Sounds of Brands / Brands of Sounds” class I’m teaching: http://t.co/Fjk1qo9m #
• Filed article with British magazine on the Fourth of July. Felt vaguely traitorous. #
• The 27th Disquiet Junto project instructions have gone to the email list + are live at the @soundcloud page http://t.co/IjQw7mvf #
• Lesson from last night about fireworks and perception: loudness doesn’t equal proximity; detail equals proximity. #
• Indeed. LED fireworks: world’s first reusable. RT @ioflow: @disquiet nah, LED fireworks are The New Thing. #
• Outboard-brain side-project related to “Sounds of Brands / Brands of Sounds” class I’m teaching: http://t.co/Fjk1qo9m. #
• These new CFL fireworks are cool, but I miss the incandescent ones. #
• The music to the new Spider-Man makes Prometheus seem subtle. That said, the use of voices in the score is interesting, if not enjoyable. #
• Fascinating site about cicada songs, the transnational anthem of electronic music: cicadasong.eu. #
• Great interview (and splendidly shot) with Steve Reich on influences on his work: http://t.co/3vIGp5AH. #
• The 27th weekly @djunto project will be about interpreting a text file as sound. #
• Looking at Fireworks (Waveforms): http://t.co/U5DxMVOn #
• Chinese Red Glare & Blare: http://t.co/hKplrUq9 #
• The Music of Fireworks: http://t.co/4Ycnqc0H #
• The mixture of enthusiasm and solitude that is the July 3 firework. #
• History of my listening goes from what’s my favorite song to what’s my favorite album to what’s my favorite appliance. NP: washing machine. #
• Looking forward to moderating panel discussion on “Alternative Musical Interfaces” @gaffta on 9/19 (7pm): http://t.co/g8Z8RMEY #
• 48 minutes of music made by 15 musicians in 4 days from samples of trash: https://t.co/7W9pd5rt #
• Tuesday noon siren peculiarly loud on a bright, clear-sky day. #
• “‘Spider-Man’ feels like one of those unnecessary software versions, more Spider-Man 1.5” says Manohla Dargis. I agree, and I dug 500 Days. #
• If my tweets are especially off later today, it may be because I saw the midnight Spider-man. #
• Eight musicians now confirmed for the August 19 Disquiet Junto concert in Denver. #
• More details on the class I’m teaching this autumn at @academy_of_art: http://t.co/D4D3h3zZ #
• Sound-art PTSD. MT @qDot: After living between stacks of cardboard boxes while moving, gonna take a while to appreciate Zimoun again. #
• 1/2 hour of music by 10 musicians made of sounds sampled from items found in their garbage (and one trip to the dump): https://t.co/7W9pd5rt #
• Glad the http://t.co/brhasUxl netlabel is back. Two tracks posted last month, the first since November. #
• Briefly concerned when I saw unfamiliar icon in one of my backup programs. Then realized what the icon meant: done uploading. #
• Excuse me, it’s with Christof Migone. http://t.co/Lqgv0GL6 #mars #soundart #bradbury #
• My interview with sound artist Christoph Migone about listening to Ray Bradbury’s Mars: http://t.co/hSQu3yBf #
• Looking like December 6 for the San Francisco Disquiet Junto concert. #
• Not a speaker. (Older variation on sidewalk grate.) http://t.co/8hiGwuw4 #
• Not a speaker. (Sidewalk grate.) http://t.co/XgQhB3Rm #
• I love when Facebook reminds me of a netlabel’s birthday because of how the account was set up. (“Record labels are people.”) #
• Pretty impressive that Transformers 3 couldn’t get three sentences in without a grammatical error in the narration. #
• For @djunto #26 stijnh shot his garbage mid-sample: http://t.co/lIZJ6Xah #
• Mostly for @artofplanning: Has Shepard Fairey done anything that looks less like he’s done it? Rolling Stones logo: http://t.co/3iEF4ihl #
• Guy next to me at café is like the Keith Jarrett of writers. He’s read out loud quietly as he typed on his laptop all day. #
• Now 7 musicians confirmed for the Disquiet Junto (@djunto) show in Denver on August 19. Almost certainly more to come. #
• Waiting for Google++ #
• Inlet went extra mile for current @djunto sonic recycling project, sampling sounds of local dump: https://t.co/kuxXSSE0. #

• For one day only 4’33” will be 4’34” (http://t.co/pCUGh7en) #
• Looks like the mobile/tablet-optimized http://t.co/xdF1T26R should be live pretty soon. Clean, size-responsive formatting. #
• Found Yegorova’s Artemiev book behind Marclay’s Shuffle box and between books by Cardiff and Kurzweil. I need to diversify my diet. #
• Afternoon listening: the “Train” track from Artemiev’s score to Tarkovsky’s Stalker: http://t.co/o0y1HplR #dyer #zona #
• Initial thoughts about Geoff Dyer’s engrossing book about Andrei Tarkovsky’s movie Stalker: http://t.co/2LqxmdP1 #
• Remains convinced that Stalker will be remade with Jason Statham in the lead role. #
• Best thing about 3rd book in Mira Grant’s great trilogy of zombie novels is moral parallel it draws between zombies & clones. #
• Geoff Emerick’s memoir about recording the Beatles in the 1960s is unintentionally the best book about how manga is made today. #
