This would be roughly the week of February 3 through February 9.
***5 Years Ago (2009):*** Highlight of the week was definitely a [two](https://disquiet.com/2009/02/07/10-ways-of-drawing-music-san-francisco/)-[part](https://disquiet.com/2009/02/06/alternative-sheet-music-techniques-at-new-lanton-arts-san-franciso/) overview of an incredible exhibit of graphic scores at the New Langton Arts gallery in San Francisco.

The show was curated by Christoph Cox and Robert Shimshak. … Quote of the week was humorous hater comments about a white-noise app ([“Good app if you like to fall asleep to static!”](https://disquiet.com/2009/02/07/quote-of-the-week-white-noisemakers/)). … The [PhotoShopping of sound](https://disquiet.com/2009/02/08/image-of-the-week-photoshopping-sound/). … The Downstream included some [laptop-enabled improv](https://disquiet.com/2009/02/03/bondi-dincise-demierre-bourquenez-diatribes/), the latest in [Taylor Deupree’s daily sound uploads](https://disquiet.com/2009/02/09/taylor-deupree-daily-sound-mp3s/), live recordings from [D’Incise](https://disquiet.com/2009/02/06/two-live-dincise-mp3s/), some [dusty drones](https://disquiet.com/2009/02/05/dusty-drone-mp3s-from-eluder/) from Eluder, and [dubby 8-Bit from Simon Mattison](https://disquiet.com/2009/02/04/dubby-8-bit-mp3s-from-simon-mattison/).
***10 Years Ago (2004):*** Quote of the week was from Greg Egan’s then new novel, *Schild’s Ladder*:
>As she entered the chamber, she seemed to emerge from the mouth of a burrow to float above a lush, wide meadow beneath a cloud-dappled sky. The illusion was purely audiovisual — the sounds encoded in radio waves — but with no weight to hold her against the ceramic hidden beneath the meadow, the force of detail was eerily compelling. It took only a few blades of grass and some chirping insects to make her half-believe that she could smell the late-summer air.
