Disquiet

• I only follow two TV characters on Twitter: a fictional person and a fictional version of a fictional person. #
• From Last Resort’s island to Myles’ cameo in Person of Interest, the shadow Lost casts on today’s television is expansive. #
• Sacramento tomorrow. Anything art-ish I should check out, lemme know. #
• Fear of How Music Works #
• I have two art-dot-sy (art.sy) invites, if anyone wants one. #
• Read far too many reviews of Looper, wrote a check to myself to transfer funds, got a big headache. #
• “All these bottles thrown into the sea eventually found recipients.” —Nowaki netlabel on benefits of Creative Commons: http://t.co/0goDom2I #
• For folks involved in the @djunto this week, a beautiful thank-you from the netlabel: http://t.co/0goDom2I. #
• Playing catchup. Set of 40 tracks from the @djunto project when we remixed the theme of the Radius broadcast/podcast: https://t.co/podzQny2 #
• RIP, Half Sack. #
• Dredd isn’t great, but at least the 3D was considered as part of visual design. And it really looked 2000 AD to me (the comic not the year). #
• The 39th weekly @djunto project has begun at http://t.co/ncvd9ZaD http://t.co/XdREURGZ. Remixing three netlabel releases. #
• A bit of netlabel activism is the modus operandi for this week’s @djunto, the 39th in the weekly series. #
• “Look at all of those no-deriv licenses (grumble grumble). What’re you afraid of?” That’s @vuzhmusic asking netlabels what’s up. #
• Ignore that last comment/question. PDFs are transferring fine. The doc in question turned out to have been an HTML file. #
• Is it possible to send PDFs from GoodReader to iAnnotate PDF on the iPad? #
• Listen to music by Brian Eno from the exhibit that spawned his forthcoming Lux album: http://t.co/jVmWlLoa. Post updated thanks to @wifsten. #
• Listen to music from the installation that inspired the forthcoming Brian Eno album, Lux: http://t.co/jVmWlLoa Plus a lecture. And diagrams! #
• Anyone know who did the cover art for the forthcoming Brian Eno album, Lux (Warp, Nov. 13)? It looks Tom Phillips”“ish. #
• Today in sound class: surveillance in The Conversation, sampled submarine sounds in Last Resort, and Lucille Ball emulates Charlie Chaplin. #
• Odd whistle sound while in shower. Any other time of day I’d assume it’s a distant siren, but in the morning, maybe a neighbor’s tea kettle? #
• Night sounds: dishwasher rumbling, TV creaking as it cools down, rattle of an occasional passing car, whine of MUNI bus coming to a stop. #
• Design-oriented Apple sends Rothko Chapel visitors to a house down the road. http://t.co/pryA0IlN #
• Tomorrow in sound class, week 3, “The Score”: Conversation/Murch, sound design, foley, (un)silent film, laugh tracks, Southland, Last Resort #
• Manhattan Disquiet Junto concert is now on the calendar: http://t.co/CVlqXHAT. November 27 @apexart. Details to follow. #
• Are these newly legal driverless cars are allowed to respond to text messages? #
• Side view of Tilden Park sound tube. http://t.co/DLLDOlZW #
• Not a shower head. One of two sound tubes in Tilden Regional Park playground. http://t.co/3gVZE2u9 #
• Afternoon audio stream: the lo-fi, low-key guitar/loop/din hush of Josh Mason’s forthcoming Jeremiad: http://t.co/bmq4FHEI #
• Sentence I didn’t foresee myself typing: “Just signed up for MySpace invite.” #
• Tuesday noon siren in San Francisco, heard through closed windows on a cold, windy day — the sound the clearest it’s been in recent memory. #
• Testing @SurteesStudios‘ OS X Bartender Bar beta. Smart that a clutter-minded app has icon selection, rather than forcing its icon on you. #
• “violist at musician” / The unintentional performing-arts commentary of LinkedIn. #
• So many hybrid cars in Berkeley, parking lots here have a very different vibe from the norm. #
• Train, unseen, echoed through Tilden Park. #
• RIP, Sam Sniderman (b. 1920), founder of the Canadian record store chain Sam the Record Man: http://t.co/zGiocNpw #
• Found sounds. Sidewalk cassette. Cult jam. http://t.co/1hXiXrzl #
• Kabuki version of Woman in the Dunes at Precita Park. (Really just overly sunscreened toddlers in sunken sand box.) #
• “Signal sweeping for transmitters. You’re just a party animal.” Enemy of the State is no The Conversation, but has fun with whence it came. #
• The Ripping Point: The moment when number of downloaders at the café manage to slow the Internet access to near-zilch. #
• Information flows through this. http://t.co/dgQkr5qa #
• Waking to Lethem/Chabon parallels paralleling DeLillo/Auster parallels. #
• “A Brief History of Sound.” Notes from the second week of my sound class: http://t.co/AcyarrTD. #celebritydeath #synaesthesia #phonography #
