• ♥ Before the Bullfight by David Sylvian http://t.co/4TUheZWL #
• @Gurdonark You try to be as hypercritical of it as possible, so your listener won't have to be! in reply to Gurdonark #
• About once a year I reconsider whether to release this little collection I have of my rough early tape / computer music. #
• Tomorrow there'll be a new Vuzh Music release (not related to prev. tweet) #
• @DaveSeidel And I always decide against! 🙂 Eventually maybe I'll give in. It's not especially great work, but interesting. in reply to DaveSeidel #
• @DaveSeidel I keep doing my best to avoid releasing anything but my best stuff. That's what's kept it from being shared so far. in reply to DaveSeidel #
• I'm finally giving in and getting a new computer. I'm at the apple store now. #
• … and while I'm here, I'm making recordings for @djunto #
• @Le_Berger @DaveSeidel Reed Ghazala told me I should always only release the best stuff, because that may be all someone hears from you. in reply to Le_Berger #
• @Le_Berger @DaveSeidel True enough, lots of times people point out the thing about it I think of as the weak point. in reply to Le_Berger #
• @Le_Berger @DaveSeidel However, I have released things that bother me. I avoid this now. in reply to Le_Berger #
• One of the employees here at the apple store thought I was someone famous. Hm. #
• @DaveSeidel @Le_Berger Or at least be as true as possible to whatever it is that's driving us to make this work. in reply to DaveSeidel #
• Boards of Canada used to make me think of the 70s, now they make me think of the 90s. #
• Hm. According to my stats, someone at Apple Cupertino checked out Vuzh Music website while I was in the store. I feel mixed about this. #
• Apple Store Twenty Ninth Street Boulder [disquiet0037-asrealasitgets1] by @vuzhmusic for @djunto 37 http://t.co/KBRxq0qT #
• I'm kind of astounded at how quiet this new computer is. #
• However I note that the mouse probably also has that little piezo speaker inside for the clicks, and I wonder if the keyboard has the same. #
• @c_a_harebell Ideal fridge http://t.co/msIZM7DJ #
• @snooksarmy Yeah I know. I was like, where are the VIC 20s, bro? in reply to snooksarmy #
• @djunto I did leave out the bit where an employee told me my H4n looked like something out of Star Trek. in reply to djunto #
• @disquiet Just an iMac, with the 21" screen. Compared to my old G4 tower it's totally silent. in reply to disquiet #
• @snooksarmy I got a wristwatch and you can play pac man on it. AND it's got a calculator. in reply to snooksarmy #
• @disquiet So far it's reminding me how loud my tinnitus is. in reply to disquiet #
• Hrm. http://t.co/tE7wkDtf seems to be down. I wonder how long that's been going on. I haven't checked the site in a while. #
• There's something new at Vuzh Music today. http://t.co/vRajLa3c #
• NEW release at Vuzh Music! David Nemeth – Backyard Improvisations http://t.co/CFBhuMQq #ccmusic #netlabels #
• Grumble grumble. I am grumpy. Dealing with support for dystimbra.cc which is in limbo, apparently… for no reason. #
• OK, time for another beer! 🙂 #
• The rabbits have fled their burrows gone to earth #
• Holy crap, did everyone just realize that Romney is a creep? #
• Just got a weird mailer from Kevin Lundberg that makes him out to be a greeny treehugger instead of the far righty he is. Weird! @jaredpolis #
• @Steve_Hamann I enjoyed yours too. I also thought about going for this polyrhythmic cashier effect, but didn't. in reply to Steve_Hamann #
• I got a card for $100 of what the kids call "apps"- putzed around the app store & am uninspired to redeem it. People buy this shit? #
• @Gurdonark Funny, the ones that are free seem like the more interesting ones. I got the @soundcloud app, which looks great & a language one in reply to Gurdonark #
• Yeah, so, needless to say, if you think I can't live without some app you love, recommend away. #
• @lilianechlela Depends, whatchoo got? in reply to lilianechlela #
• @Gurdonark It's in the apple app store. in reply to Gurdonark #
• @lilianechlela Thanks, I'll look into those! in reply to lilianechlela #
• @Gurdonark It's for Mountain Lion, I'm not sure yet how much crossover there is. in reply to Gurdonark #
• Maybe I'll just blow it all on T-Pain emulators! #
• @Gurdonark Metasynth is like 500 clams. No way. in reply to Gurdonark #
• @disquiet Great movie. in reply to disquiet #
• @snooksarmy I don't have iOS, and I have barely even opened the new iTunes, just enough to import the 50 gigs of tunes I loaded in yesterday in reply to snooksarmy #
• @snooksarmy The gift card I have is for Mac apps available through the app store. in reply to snooksarmy #
• OK, dystimbria should be back up within 24 hours. #
• Just flipped out because "nuance" was finally trending in Google News, then I found out that Nuance is just the name of some corporation. #
• @cinchel Kicking ass for a greater cause, presumably. @kirstiecat in reply to cinchel #
• Many more Apple hits revealed on my stats. Is this corporate surveillance, or just an innocent individual's curiousity explored on the job? #
• Nothing to do but watch you watching me. #
• Now on to some corporate ineptitude. Still dealing w/ Dreamhost to get my site back on line. I think I'll have a drink before emailing them. #
• My Top 3 #lastfm Artists: Cluster (28), David Nemeth (11) & Frank Bretschneider (9) http://t.co/tvP6DdQQ #
• So you can't make comments from the soundcloud app? #
• @jinjurly Bingo's better with beer. in reply to jinjurly #
• @jinjurly As if more incentive were needed other than: beer. in reply to jinjurly #
• @BrewCrewJess Rah! Thanks Jess. in reply to BrewCrewJess #
• @flspectro Looks like Animoog is for iOS, not for Mac. Alas. in reply to flspectro #
• @BrewCrewJess I'm very pleased you enjoy them! Thanks for the feedback! in reply to BrewCrewJess #
• @BrewCrewJess I suspect that you'll really like next month's release, given that you're a drummer (though David's work is also percussive) in reply to BrewCrewJess #
• I feel like I have an entitlement to food. Must be a #socialist #moocher #
• @BrewCrewJess Oh, have you ever heard of Jarrod Fowler? Your comment makes me think of his treating creative acts as percussive ones in reply to BrewCrewJess #
• @BrewCrewJess Here: read this: http://t.co/IoCoW3cV The part on Fowler starts on p 230 of this excerpt. in reply to BrewCrewJess #
• My Top 3 #lastfm Artists: Cluster (28), David Nemeth (11) & Frank Bretschneider (9) http://t.co/tvP6DdQQ #
• I'm still waiting to hear from @dreamhost about my site. They basically erased my netlabel. They'd better have a backup to restore it. #
• @jinjurly 🙂 (but with a very slight tinge of :/ ) #emoticonsfailme in reply to jinjurly #
• New Soisong? RT @erstlaub I basically HAD to just buy the new Soisong release. #imisssleazy #sorrybankaccount #
• @CityStarBrewing It's been great! Maybe City Star should encourage a local market for hops? in reply to CityStarBrewing #
• Tweets that get deleted before tweeting. #
• @falsereactions Fuck it all! Give up! Leave me some of your equipment in your will. in reply to falsereactions #
• Actually do the proofreading! RT @frcc: 5 Tips to be a More Successful College Student. Tip 2: Actually to the reading. http://t.co/EWYEU8bm #
• @BrewCrewJess Cool. Let us know what you think about it. in reply to BrewCrewJess #
• .@PitcherOfSummer To be clear it's not Vuzh Music that's effected, it was http://t.co/tE7wkDtf that's been vanished by @dreamhost in reply to PitcherOfSummer #
• @jinjurly *raised eyebrows* in reply to jinjurly #
• I downloaded an immersion language app. Started with Russian. Surprised at how quickly it can begin to work, but how brain tiring it is too. #
• @Steve_Hamann Can you take a screenshot of what you see when you go to the dystimbria site? Clear your cache first in reply to Steve_Hamann #
• @DreamHostCare Maybe it hasn't propagated out to me yet, I still see a placeholder page. I keep clearing my cache, to be sure. in reply to DreamHostCare #
• @Steve_Hamann Must be a propagation issue, I get nothing but a placeholder page. I keep clearing my cache & deletion history but still nada. in reply to Steve_Hamann #
• @DaveSeidel I know Spanish, but I've always wanted to know more of them. Electronics too. I just want to know everything. in reply to DaveSeidel #
• If Repubs can't even warm up to him, how is anyone else supposed to like this creep? #
• @c_a_harebell I thought you were going to say "all of them" in reply to c_a_harebell #

• Don't forget GW Bush won twice. @RBReich: No time for complacency Four reasons why Romney might still win. http://t.co/3EA6rfpA #
• Never underestimate Americans taste for being governed by bad people with bad ideas. #
• @thedarklobster What is the cost? in reply to thedarklobster #
• "Heh heh! Ulp. Anyone?" http://t.co/DucFJEV3 #
• @thedarklobster Still within the realm of commerce. in reply to thedarklobster #
• @mrdankelly Close the damned window, God, what were you born in a barn? in reply to mrdankelly #
• @jinjurly Jealous of yr blackberry harvest. I grew up next to an entire lot of it. I miss fresh blackberry cobbler more than I can say. in reply to jinjurly #
• @jinjurly That said, the entire world would kill to have the apple harvest we have this year. in reply to jinjurly #
• … and you can see @dpnem's statement of admiration for Chris Whitehead (@sonotophonamy) right here: http://t.co/02zBhhMu #
• @thedarklobster Must it be shown? To whom? in reply to thedarklobster #
• @ENE_RVA Repetition is the way of capitalism. in reply to ENE_RVA #
• @dpnem Lack of isolation was one of the main things I liked about apple's earbuds. I didn't like that they break so quickly. in reply to dpnem #
• @sonotaphonomy Good advice. Did I ever point you at this? http://t.co/iaS2sZBj in reply to sonotaphonomy #
• @steveburnett Ha ha. My interest clipped. I must turn down the gain on my interest. in reply to steveburnett #
• @steveburnett Run my interest through a compressor. in reply to steveburnett #
• We have DNS propagation! http://t.co/tE7wkDtf is back up! #
• I'd love to celebrate the resurrection of Dystimbria with a new release, is anyone out there game to work on this project? #
• In and around the lake, MARMOTS come out of the sky and they STAND THERE! #
• @Gurdonark See, you and I could have written better lyrics than Yes did! in reply to Gurdonark #
• @Gurdonark I'm actually very grumpy that I can't hit some of the high notes I used to be able to do! in reply to Gurdonark #
• ♥ South Side of the Sky by Yes http://t.co/RT3sm2PW #
• Ugh, I'm going to have to figure out how to turn off auto-correct on this new computer. So annoying. #
• I've just confirmed to perform a set in Fort Collins on October 30 with some local noise mongers. They want something "dark". hrmm… #
• @Gurdonark I did tell them I wouldn't describe my work as 'dark', but that if the audience had this expectation, perhaps it wouldn't matter. in reply to Gurdonark #
• @Gurdonark Maybe I'm wrong though. I suppose we'll see. in reply to Gurdonark #
• @Gurdonark Yes, it is a different set of challenges, but it was time for a different set of challenges. in reply to Gurdonark #
• @thedarklobster Become attention? in reply to thedarklobster #
• I'm frequently amused that I get so many hits to my website from Middle Eastern countries searching for porn, w/ odd search terms. #
• @disquiet @djunto It's a very interesting project. Dunno if I can do this one though, leaning towards no. Too much stuff. in reply to disquiet #
• @jinjurly Sweet! I really liked that town. in reply to jinjurly #
• @hecanjog @disquiet Writing something like personal aesthetic is ass-hard. Especially if you take it seriously. in reply to hecanjog #
• Oh, holy shit. Swans is on Monday. #
• Suddenly realizing there are logistical problems to be overcome. #
• I've just started to play this game called "Limbo" – the sound design in it is incredible. Very sparse soundtrack of occasional drones. #
• @lilianechlela It is really good. It's weird how few really minimal soundtracks you encounter in this kind of thing. in reply to lilianechlela #
• Looks like I'll probably miss the opening band Xiu Xiu, but I'll make it for the main event. #
• Ahhhh…. that freedom that comes after you find the way to turn off system-wide spell checking. #
• @soundcloud I'd love for the Soundcloud app to scrobble to Last.FM #
• I wish I were an etch-a-sketch. #
• @BrewCrewJess @djunto Oops. </rickperry> in reply to BrewCrewJess #
• @mrkvm @dnsvm I often let runouts play for longer than the record. in reply to mrkvm #
• @DaveSeidel I was going to ask what books you were using. I ought to get that one. I have an old Radio Shack book. in reply to DaveSeidel #
• @DaveSeidel Not bad! Are you getting results? I need to get in the studio & start experimenting with that patchboard. I have a show 10/30 in reply to DaveSeidel #
• @cinchel didn't but i will in reply to cinchel #
• @c_a_harebell Caturday preëmpted: http://t.co/oT6xM3bl #
• @hecanjog @disquiet Wow, I wonder what my impressions would be if I were hearing it now for the 1st time. in reply to hecanjog #
• @DaveSeidel I just started this one: http://t.co/NNRtvLla It's not as specific as I wanted, but maybe that's good in a way. in reply to DaveSeidel #
• @DaveSeidel I'm surprised to have been invited to play so many times this year. in reply to DaveSeidel #
• @disquiet Thanks for synopsizing each day in the class you're teaching. I've been really enjoying those articles. #
• @DaveSeidel At least half of the book is going to be old news for you, but it's easy enough to read through those parts quickly. in reply to DaveSeidel #
• @disquiet What is the duration of each class? in reply to disquiet #
• @disquiet Wow, that is really some heavy lifting for your first class! in reply to disquiet #
• @cinchel No regrets! Nice track. It's a lot more lyrical / melodic than some of your work. Impressive. in reply to cinchel #
• @cinchel Also, I haven't bothered to listen to Sigur Ros after Agaetis byrjun, so I don't know if it sounds like them or not. in reply to cinchel #
• @cinchel Considering how little I've listened to the album since '99, I'd wager I thought they were boring enough already! in reply to cinchel #
• @cinchel Although I remember liking the way they used compression. in reply to cinchel #

• @c_a_harebell http://t.co/ihzgZvZO #
• OK, now I'm officially excited for Throbbing Gristle's Desertshore. Holy wow. #
• I'm still put off by music that sounds like it was done with Ableton Live. #
• @hecanjog @disquiet I wonder if my high regard/emotional connection to it comes from the time it came out-cultural/personal state of mind in reply to hecanjog #
• @hecanjog For me at the time there was nothing like it. in reply to hecanjog #
• @disquiet @hecanjog I used to have two tape players at work and I'd frequently play two cassette-underground drone tapes at once. in reply to disquiet #
• @hecanjog @disquiet Yes, there is something that sets apart those records that stick with you. Something about this one… in reply to hecanjog #
• Installing Cubase #
• @hecanjog Wow, thanks! in reply to hecanjog #
