@Gurdonark @dpnem When I was younger "experimental music" (acc'd to some) was for academics, the rest is just noise. Things have changed. in reply to Gurdonark #
Ugly mayhem at @airandspace museum instigated by conservative agent provocateur: http://t.co/0okbW4Vr #ows #
@Gurdonark @dpnem I would say that experimental music never was an academic thing, that it was a bad attitude. This is what changed. in reply to Gurdonark #
@Gurdonark @dpnem I just recalled this kind of thing in the comment about sound art being something for academics. in reply to Gurdonark #
@Gurdonark I meant bad attitude separating "academic experimental music" on one side vs "just noise" on the other. It was a false separation in reply to Gurdonark #
♥ Consolamentum by Thinking Plague http://t.co/HYuhInUk #
@Le_Berger I agree it is elitism, unfortunately it is promulgated by both sides of the false divide. A two-way street. in reply to Le_Berger #
Yes! RT: @Gurdonark: @vuzhmusic @dpnem I favor "sound art" as a working definition for an experience, with no pedigree or degree plan. #

@Maraxnoise You're asking the wrong guy, I've never used it. When I do feedback, it's usually by mic'ing an amp. in reply to Maraxnoise #
@Maraxnoise I would guess that if you use a mixer, you can control the levels… in reply to Maraxnoise #
@Maraxnoise … but I've always thought the point of no-input was that you don't care about the equipment. in reply to Maraxnoise #

I read about the McGurk effect today & had to find out if it works or not. For me it doesn't: http://t.co/BNApNTJX #
@cinchel I watched a ton of videos and it doesn't have the slightest effect on me. It worked for you, then? in reply to cinchel #
@cinchel Fascinating. Supposedly it works on a majority of people. in reply to cinchel #
@Le_Berger No sweat, happens all the time. in reply to Le_Berger #
Timely, I've been reading about this guy. RT @hecanjog Robert Morris on Silence http://t.co/LXtJUiko #

Auzel gets a mention at Acts of Silence! http://t.co/fP9jEpsm Thanks @dpnem #
@Le_Berger Good move, every netlabel person should have a website. in reply to Le_Berger #
Every single netlabel person should have their own website. Myspace & Soundcloud don't count. Some ppl swear by FB, but not me, I won't go. #

Just set up a Google+ circle for casual thoughts about sound art that don't fit on Twitter. Lemme know if you want in. Helps if you're on G+ #
@strangeduck Are you on Google+? If not, I occasionally rant about sound art here on Twitter too… 🙂 in reply to strangeduck #

I am re-connecting to the band Killing Joke. Haven't listened to them in so many years! #
Jeezus. Is Obama STILL giving up stuff on the health care law in hopes of a "compromise"? #
What's wrong with the term "experimental music"? #
@saffronslumber Alright, so why is everyone abandoning it for "sound art", a term which already has a meaning? in reply to saffronslumber #
@mystified131 Very good point. Music is a minefield of a term. However art is a goddamned NUCLEAR FUCKING BOMB of a term, so why? in reply to mystified131 #
My point is that "experimental music" has a history that we can associate with. "Sound art" has a history too. Check before using the term. #
@saffronslumber It's not necessarily so controversial in so much as words have actual meaning. To me misuse is not controversy, it's misuse. in reply to saffronslumber #
@LuxFero23 It's a good term to use. in reply to LuxFero23 #
@saffronslumber You should adopt no terminology without being aware of its history and connotations. Be aware. in reply to saffronslumber #
.@LuxFero23 Some terminology has meanings that go beyond mere "genre" – it's important to be aware of what labels you append to yourself in reply to LuxFero23 #
@saffronslumber "Experimental music" has enough of a history that you can learn from a variety of viewpoints. Best scenario. "Sound art" too in reply to saffronslumber #
@Gurdonark Agreed. 🙂 in reply to Gurdonark #
@Steve_Hamann This is a good point. Dilution of terminology is problematic. This is why I object to the use of "sound art" from musicians. in reply to Steve_Hamann #
@saffronslumber The best thing, as with anything, is to expose yourself to as much as possible & arrive at your own POV through the process. in reply to saffronslumber #
To paraphrase Werner Herzog's advice, if you want to be an experimental music composer, "READ, READ, READ, READ, READ, READ, READ." #
@saffronslumber It's about understanding. Terms mean things. Experimental music is a good term for us to understand & use. in reply to saffronslumber #
@saffronslumber Mainly, I'm protesting the use of "sound art" instead of "experimental music". I think "sound art" is inappropriate. in reply to saffronslumber #
@Steve_Hamann This is another good point, and a good example is what happened to "industrial music". in reply to Steve_Hamann #
@saffronslumber If one understood that "sound art" arrives from a confluence of contemporary visual art practice and sonic art practice… in reply to saffronslumber #
@saffronslumber … then "sound art" is obviously inappropriate from a netlabel release of experimental music. … in reply to saffronslumber #
@saffronslumber … from there arises the question, what was wrong with the term "experimental music" that one had to search elsewhere? in reply to saffronslumber #
@saffronslumber I think it is appropriate that the netlabel community be a forum for experimental music. Where else would it go? in reply to saffronslumber #
@saffronslumber The best way a netlabel can stand out is by 1) release good material 2) engage the community. in reply to saffronslumber #
@LuxFero23 I haven't listened to them since sometime in the 90s. Great band, yeah! in reply to LuxFero23 #
@ValhallArts It's a fine concept with clear history & definablility that some people (inexplicably) are shying away from. in reply to ValhallArts #
@disquiet Good question. You mean just marking the book as read, but not rating at all? I'd guess that doesn't count in the averaging. in reply to disquiet #
Hm. Looks like I might want to pick up the new Pole album, sounds good: http://t.co/CibBu7m4 #
@hecanjog Music is often empty in reply to hecanjog #
@hecanjog Music is a set of rails. in reply to hecanjog #
@hecanjog Music is, (as spirit is), a bone. in reply to hecanjog #
@hecanjog On the other hand, music is the wind between the grass. in reply to hecanjog #
Ambitious. #
Is it buy another book about sound art, or is it save the forty dollars? Books are 'spensive. #

Writers: Interference Journal is calling for papers about Noise http://t.co/o4Gf95me @disquiet #
I need some space. #
@ENE_RVA Thanks for that, but my needs are a bit more literal! 🙂 in reply to ENE_RVA #
@tobiasreber A point I could offer is to ask whether the point of this experience is to be learning or to have learned. in reply to tobiasreber #
__Apalling__Rudeness__ I continue to be amazed at the lengths some people go to make complete ASSES of themselves. #
Present company excluded, of course. #
@newpractice Oh, mine was WAY worse than that, although, yes that's pretty damned rude too. Not impressed with FC audience tonight. in reply to newpractice #
Heartily agreed. RT: @newpractice: art transfusions needed in Fort Collins #

@Le_Berger Gentle Giant is the greatest. 🙂 in reply to Le_Berger #
@icystew Loops are totally 1999 anyway. in reply to icystew #
@disquiet It was a good choice! in reply to disquiet #
@larkinhavens In this instance, I had no choice, but you are welcome, nevertheless! 🙂 in reply to larkinhavens #
If artistic practice involves a dialogue with material, why does the artist get all the credit? It wasn't a monologue, after all. #
When I grow up I wanna be the internet switch operator so I can choose what mysteriously disappears & what lingers beyond its welcome. #

@tobiasreber I have on occasion given my source material its due credit, but I ought to do better. in reply to tobiasreber #
@newpractice @ValhallArts Interesting question to ask is whether commercial/public space should invite art in, if the intent is decorative? in reply to newpractice #
@99andBarry If you had them what would you do with them? in reply to 99andBarry #
Suddenly recalled the fan letter/audio play I sent to Apple in '83 in 7th grade. They wrote back, sent me one of Wozniak's old floppy disks! #

Dream I had of sound appreciation: http://t.co/ycaxlL0v #
@saffronslumber The Electret Quintet ? 🙂 in reply to saffronslumber #
@dpnem I would be happy to discuss this with you, — I am studying sound art toward the goal of curating an exhibition of it in Spring. in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem I would say sound art is born from a convergence of experimental music practice and visual art practice. in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem I would also say that sound art is art in which sound is the primary conveyor of meaning. in reply to dpnem #
Brr. It's in the 30s here. My tomatoes are okay though! 🙂 #
@dpnem I think that is a misconception, and it wasn't that long ago someone might have said the same about experimental vs. "regular" music in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem The exhibition I am curating will hopefully feature work by a lot of "irregular joes"! in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem The last few years of netlabel activity have proven that experimental music is very accessible, from production & audience POV – in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem -Sound art is exactly the same, it is a wide open field ready to be explored, by whomever. in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem The boundaries of both are completely blurred. I don't think that is the distinction. Music and abstract sound are in both. in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem Sound art is when experimental music converges with the visual arts, such as sculpture or installation, or performance art. in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem Defining it is a bit slippery, but it's like porno, you know it when you see it. Oh, hello sound-art pornbots! in reply to dpnem #
http://t.co/2y6Tm5IZ #
The noise of protest! #noiselife RT @jupitterlarsen Hung out with amk @OccupyLA – here's some more noise from it: http://t.co/IjoyLhC1 #OWS #

Drinkin' beer, writing about art, listening to netlabel ambient music. #
Some Occupy DC protesters tried to force their way into @airandspace Nat'l Museum of Air/Space- forceful security response. Unfortunate. #
Good reportage by @boingboing about @airandspace museum mayhem http://t.co/ln7p8Yfs #
@Gurdonark It looks to me like an unreasonable protest action met by a security response that is questionable at best. in reply to Gurdonark #

From an idea posed by Tobias Reber, of degrading sound files by repeatedly encoding and re-encoding them. His idea was to use SoundCloud’s compression as the filter.
–
That’s a very good idea, but in this case, I instead used iTunes mp3 compression, set at 128 kbps. The original sound file was a ten second white noise blast.
–

–
It is here as the first ten seconds, then the second ten seconds is the first encoding, and each subsequent ten seconds is the next iteration of the file which came before re-encoded at 128 kbps, until the twentieth time.
–
Recursive MP3 Encoding (for Tobias Reber) by vuzhmusic
–
By the end, according to the spectrum, there is virtually no information above 16000 Hz, but this is obviously much more than just a low-pass filter.
–
If I had a fancy paid SoundCloud account, maybe I’d re-upload this file twenty times, to test Tobias’ original idea!

@Gurdonark Yeah, but you also don't really want them to get too much into your personal space. in reply to Gurdonark #
Just sent off one demo for cassette release. Another demo in the can. Debating self-releasing, but need a good master & my tape-deck sucks. #
Vuzh Music release for August is by the Unseelie Court. Primitivist experimentalism, lofi & odd. http://t.co/XJCeVtf #
Rick Perry thinks Washington is "a seedy place", and he's just the man to mop up all that seed. #
@DaveSeidel I hope it passes and leaves the minimum of damage. Presumably you are not evacuating, then? in reply to DaveSeidel #
@larkinhavens @ENE_RVA Every time they say it I get that godawful Cure song in my head. Thus I can't wait till we're on to the next storm. in reply to larkinhavens #
@Gurdonark @larkinhavens @ENE_RVA I'm an unabashed snob when it comes to the Cure, and I can't stand anything after "Head on the Door" in reply to Gurdonark #
@DaveSeidel Oh, that ain't bad. We had way higher than that every single night during the Winter when we lived in the mountains. in reply to DaveSeidel #
@larkinhavens I loved that book! in reply to larkinhavens #
@ENE_RVA What is that? Some new Cure thing? You've forgotten my snobbiness, I'm too cool to even KNOW about it! 😛 in reply to ENE_RVA #
@larkinhavens Lotsa Hesse I reckon! 🙂 in reply to larkinhavens #
@larkinhavens You know, I just recently read "Nausea" and I thought it was not depressing in the least. My teen reading was similar to yours in reply to larkinhavens #
@larkinhavens Are you on the GoodReads? Or are we already connected there? I forget. in reply to larkinhavens #
Life in America is a series of encounters with rigged carny games. #
@Gurdonark I find beauty far more prevalent than hope. It is enough to keep me in frequent joy. in reply to Gurdonark #
Fewer things I hate more than planned obsolescence. #
@icystew When I first saw Mimi actually moving & singing it was a revelation. Best band ever for a short time. in reply to icystew #
@plastikmanlive Tom Ellard blogged about Arkives… http://t.co/sfDOkBg #
Ok, we're going up to the mountains to look for mushrooms. I hope that some are fruiting up there. #
@sbtrmnl There is a place in one of our mushroom spots that has some incredible tiny wild strawberries, they are the size of a pea. in reply to sbtrmnl #
@sbtrmnl We're not going to that spot today though. in reply to sbtrmnl #
Retweeted by Richie Hawtin! I don't know if that's more or less notable than that one time I sat next to John Ritter's family @ a café. #
@larkinhavens On a vampire kick, I see! Last year I saw a round table discussion about vampires in fiction w/ Margo Adler & Werner Herzog! #
@c_a_harebell YESH MY MASHTER. in reply to c_a_harebell #
Car… out of the shop, back into the shop, sitting in the garage now leaking trannie fluid… back into the shop. Fuck cars. #
@JRichterJ Aw c'mon, give it a whirl. in reply to JRichterJ #

@dpnem The Easy Pace is awesome, but where's the RSS feed link? #
I'm trying to identify a mushroom. Any fellow amateur mycophiles following me? http://t.co/q4x2WTj #mycology #
My Top 3 #lastfm Artists: Front 242 (16), Stretta (14) & Burial (8) http://t.co/slnWdq8 #
Last night, I dreamed about trains crashing, obsessive flag waving and a woman with small breasts. You know, the usual stuff. #
I haven't listened to a single netlabel release in something like three weeks. I probably ought to make that right soon. #
@dpnem Ha ha! I know, how DARE I? in reply to dpnem #
@cinchel @mrdankelly RT @Kane_1 Come to "Markings on the Wall: The Graffiti Artist” Tomorrow from 5-6:30 http://t.co/Ezotq0c #
Big crisis at casa Vuzh. Our crisis is dragging on for too long, and it's too mundane to even describe. If it were a movie it'd get 1 star. #
Rotten tomato. #
Although, at casa Vuzh, we grow gorgeous heirloom tomatoes, so a rotten one is cause for bitter rueing and much gnashing of teeth. #
This crisis gets a 15% on the heirloom tomatometer. Worse than the Smurfs. #
One percentage point better than "the Smurfs DO Dallas". #
Who the fuck is Katy Perry? #
She's Smurfette. In the movie that rates seven percentage points better than our life. #
READ THIS! RT: @icystew: INTERVIEW: PBK interviewed by C. Reider http://t.co/XXlleyF #
@dpnem WHAAAAAAAATT????? in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem … Oh, she can say that kind of stuff, 'cause of the fact that we're now in a "post-racial" society. in reply to dpnem #
Just published: an interview I gave to friend and colleague PBK about his music. You WILL enjoy reading it: http://t.co/XXlleyF #noiselife #
@Maraxnoise Thanks! You knew it would be, he's such an interesting guy. in reply to Maraxnoise #
Social media connoisseurs. #
Heirloom tomatoes make everything better. #
@implicitorder Do tell, what varieties does he have? We're growing some doozies this year! in reply to implicitorder #
Catching up on the band Testament, and enjoying more than I ought to. I can't deny I was a lower-class white teen in the 80s. HEAVY METAL! #
New semester starts next week, and it is cause for much contemplation. #
Founders of 'Videogame History Museum' don't like museums, think they're boring, can't wait to get out of them. http://t.co/8suDLRN #
Same 'Videogame History Museum' guys have no problem asking for donors so they can start a museum. Good luck with that. #
.@Gurdonark Just like a book or a movie, whether a museum is 'good' or not has NOTHING to do with its thematic material. in reply to Gurdonark #
@JRichterJ Eyebrow looking bugs? You've got me curious now. in reply to JRichterJ #
Coalescing some improv stuff together to edit for possible cassette release. #
Been having fun editing these improvs, I haven't worked on music in a while! (It's good to take a break, y'know.) #
@c_a_harebell sounds good. I was a little unhappy with the setup & its possibilities. I think I need to re-think stuff. in reply to c_a_harebell #
@c_a_harebell Been trying to think of a way to get some spikier sounds into the improv format-droning noises are easy… and can be boring. in reply to c_a_harebell #
I have various limbs in different limbos. … I am hoping for clarity soon. #
@c_a_harebell Yes. That's one line of thinking. I was considering some equipment purchases before shit hit the fan. in reply to c_a_harebell #
@c_a_harebell On the other hand, equipment shouldn't matter, something spiky should be possible with the equipment we have. in reply to c_a_harebell #
@c_a_harebell I was pretty impressed with the metal tine improv we did. That holds a lot of promise. in reply to c_a_harebell #
I am rocking my butt-cheeks off right now to Siouxsie & the Banshees "Tinderbox" #
@c_a_harebell I was looking at boutique synth pieces, like the noise chaps have, also sampler, looper and stuff. in reply to c_a_harebell #
