It'll be hovering a few degrees above freezing, day and night, just fluctuating by a degree or two. Odd. 2024-01-26T09:16:51-06:00 Sam Scranton's new album _Body Pillow_ lives up to its name. Giving it a big hug again this morning. #nowplaying 2024-01-27T07:54:40-06:00 Very nice having a working cassette player again. I'm in a virtual jungle of lawnmowers with Coppice's Bypass Ideal tape. #nowplaying 2024-01-27T22:54:00-06:00 Hm, I just realized I probably need to finish the piano roll before I can finish 3walks... 2024-01-28T16:35:32-06:00 Printing is hard. 2024-01-29T08:17:37-06:00 Radbound Mens' Three Pieces for Upper Partial Tones is very enjoyable on tape. Ever so slight wow and flutter bubbles nicely onto the surface of the long tones. 2024-01-29T13:52:59-06:00 I've never had a punch-tape style label maker before. This is super fun. Labels for everything! 2024-01-29T16:49:04-06:00 [a moth object](https://moth-object.com/snd/) #nowplaying 2024-01-30T08:23:43-06:00 lmdb looks like it might make a wonderful embedded replacement for redis in astrid instruments! 2024-01-30T09:46:56-06:00 RIP Phill Niblock. <3 2024-01-30T09:51:31-06:00 ["The strong physical presence of the beats resulting from the two engines running at slightly different frequencies put me in such a trance that I nearly rode off the side of the mountain."](https://www.secondinversion.org/2018/10/02/phill-niblock-at-85-austere-unpopular-astounding-minimalism/) 2024-02-01T07:58:33-06:00 I'll take a bit of Spring now, thanks 2024-02-01T11:02:31-06:00 [Leslie Eaton and the Weird Winonans](https://leslieeatonandtheweirdwinonans.bandcamp.com/album/leslie-eaton-and-the-weird-winonans) #nowplaying 2024-02-02T11:41:04-06:00 [Wonderful new collection of solo guitar music by Chris Rosenau.](https://chrisrosenau.bandcamp.com/album/a-light-that-cracks-through) #nowplaying 2024-02-03T09:57:27-06:00 [August McKinney's AudioSoup](http://www.augustmckinney.com/AudioSoup/audiosoup.htm) sounds lovely and takes a nice approach to simple grain visualization. #nowplaying 2024-02-03T18:10:07-06:00 [Rodrigo Constanzo's Landscape NOON experiments](https://rodrigoconstanzo.com/2023/09/landscape-noon-experiments/). #nowplaying 2024-02-04T08:23:40-06:00 low fidelity != low consideration 2024-02-05T18:06:24-06:00 Found [a nicely-resonant wine glass](https://hecanjog.com/streetglass.ogg) in a free box on my way home. 2024-02-05T18:48:14-06:00 [fendoap's plain music: exploring methods and concepts](https://fendoap.bandcamp.com/album/plain-music-exploring-methods-and-concepts) #nowplaying 2024-02-07T10:02:12-06:00 It's awfully distracting trying to get distraction-free, sometimes. 2024-02-07T11:15:25-06:00 [Eve Beglarian's _Did he promise you tomorrow?_](https://evbvd.com/bookofdays/texts/0207/) #nowplaying 2024-02-08T16:51:25-06:00 The country music vamp n' talk is a nice format. A stolen-from-the-blues-thing? I like the vibe of someone pouring out their heart into the mic in plain speech while their friends pour their hearts into their instruments gently in the background. 2024-02-08T19:52:08-06:00 It's nice to read [Emma's blog](https://emmas.site). 2024-02-09T16:03:37-06:00 How long will the tomte be out? 2024-02-09T18:02:30-06:00 [Daniel DePalmas Neighborhood](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwTD8PTzoKc) #nowplaying 2024-02-10T17:14:29-06:00 George Lewis' update to _Voyager_: [Forager](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiveFGVSWSU) I love everything about this. #nowplaying 2024-02-11T04:18:55-06:00 [craque - perspective](https://craque.bandcamp.com/album/perspective) ❤️ #nowplaying 2024-02-11T19:10:08-06:00 "You know who makes very good sandwiches? Felix! Did you ever taste his cream cheese and pimento on date-nut bread?" #nowplaying 2024-02-11T22:27:12-06:00 Whoops, the [pool6 archival stream](https://los.st/pool6/) was down for a while. It's croaking again now. 2024-02-12T11:57:55-06:00 I have a habit of running system updates on my work laptop before going out for coffee. Like some kind of ritual to prepare to go into the world fully patched. 2024-02-12T13:34:54-06:00 New Helado Negro day!! #nowplaying 2024-01-24T09:40:19-06:00 New Helado Negro day!! #nowplaying 2024-02-12T17:25:54-06:00 [A sweet interview with the Hartnoll brothers](https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/feb/10/orbitals-paul-and-phil-hartnoll-look-back) 2024-02-14T18:42:31-06:00 [Very exciting performance by Francis Dhomont in Russia 2016](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdcSd_CkCGg) 2024-02-15T18:54:39-06:00 the hydrophone is back in the water again! two of them this time. i'm hoping the river will freeze soon. one will stay until the spring and the other will come in and out for me to listen in the meanwhile... 2024-02-17T04:57:59-06:00 The river was frozen for a few weeks this winter (somehow I even saw folks ice fishing at one point) but melted away again pretty fast. [NOAA is saying now it's probably not going to freeze again this year.](https://www.weather.gov/arx/2024_springflood) Wow. 2024-02-17T22:40:51-06:00 This is [a great performance of Scott Lindroth's *Bell Plates*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSO8d3tWjWQ) by Alyssa Resh. 2024-02-18T10:14:31-06:00 Sad to see `moc` removed from the official arch linux repos, but also cool to learn [the debian project has been quietly patching it](https://udd.debian.org/patches.cgi?src=moc&version=1%3A2.6.0~svn-r3005-3.1) and keeping it up to date in recent years. Long live the music on console player. (And debian!) :-) 2024-02-19T07:08:26-06:00 The last entry in my voice memos is a 436 minute mp3 recording documenting a period in the life of my pants pocket. 2024-02-19T14:08:28-06:00 The soundworld of the river in February is pretty different from August. There are so many sloshy water-type sounds right now. I suspect some of it is actually fishes vocalizing. So hard to tell! 2024-02-21T15:35:14-06:00 Today I have a feeling of déjà vu except it's a nightmare and it's happening in real life. 2024-02-23T18:45:06-06:00 Experimenting with going out at night and doing nothing much is a tentative success so far. 2024-02-27T06:38:17-06:00 Once, or possibly never 2024-01-24T10:27:17-06:00 The Rolling Stones doing Sympathy for the Devil always makes me think of slow panning studio shots interspersed with young people holding machine guns. Good job, Godard. 2024-02-28T10:27:26-06:00 I like it when I'm too distracted to want decide what to play, but there is a tape waiting to be flipped since yesterday. 2024-02-28T16:46:41-06:00 Starting (again) to work on something very old, I discovered it modulates up by a halfstep twice. Up, up, done. Maybe I can work in some extremely slow contrary motion, too. 2024-03-01T07:42:23-06:00 Somewhere I read that changing location, like entering a room, can rejigger neural pathways so that some thoughts and memories are somehow associated with the space. It's the same for me when picking up a laptop. My purpose feels clear until I open a blank web browser window and [my mind goes blank](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context-dependent_memory#The_outshining_hypothesis), too. In all the moments where I'm drawing a total blank, and then suddenly the thoughts come easily again: maybe that's my brain looking for the room it was in before. 2024-03-02T16:37:01-06:00 The spider friend in my bathroom waved at me. 2024-03-06T14:01:52-06:00 Hello to the train pulling through the park on its way to the grain mill. 2024-03-07T02:49:37-06:00 Kory Reeder - if the thought evaporates #nowplaying 2024-03-07T09:11:25-06:00 The library is so peaceful 2024-03-08T04:50:01-06:00 "Took my ride", says Maurice. 2024-03-11T13:52:05-05:00 Here comes the train, through the twigs while the birds wait 2024-03-20T17:58:57-05:00 the beauty as it flies 2024-03-20T20:01:05-05:00 taku sugimoto's *since 2016*... down, deep... into the depths... pitch-sound-forms... 2024-03-21T19:55:02-05:00 ["the decline of being into having, and having into merely appearing"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Society_of_the_Spectacle#Degradation_of_human_life) 2024-03-24T11:06:32-05:00 Whenever I write `O_RDWR` it makes me think of Martin Crane 2024-03-24T18:24:07-05:00 Sweet little squirrel skittering across the telephone lines in the snow, not slipping too much 2024-03-25T20:48:25-05:00 John Wall didn't own a sampler until he was 40.
