This Friday, I'll be in #Chicago to play a #noise / #experimental show with my good friend Henna Chou, a cellist from Austin. We're at Elastic Arts at 8pm...check the flyer for more info.
If you come out, please be sure to say hi! I love meeting Mastodonians in the wild. <3
And if you or any of your Masto pals are around Chicago and like this sort of thing, a boost would be appreciated!
#NowPlaying - japanese underground #noise heroes, one of the only official albums released while they were active (in the '90s, 20 years after it was recorded). the blown-out live cuts don't grab me here, though i love them elsewhere. the studio side from '69 gets way more play in this house, dreamy/folky psych that i don't think the band ever embraced again. great liner notes too, pointing at the kazoo parts as evidence of mizutani's fondness for #zappa. https://lesrallizesdenudes.bandcamp.com/album/67-69-studio-et-live@vinylrecords
Interesting article about noise sensitivity. Very recognizable. I couldn't live without my noise-cancelling headphones and earbuds anymore. They've made my life less stressful.
So much to do, but can't stop watching & hacking on this pseudo fluid sim every now & then... 🤩 Probably will develop this further into a tutorial for https://thi.ng/shader-ast
I'm getting my music on PeerTube, and here's the next one! It's for 2 pianists, 2 percussionists & "no-input mixer." The outputs of the mixer are connected back to various inputs, and I can unmute various channels to get feedback. The percussionists are playing a homemade speaker instrument, megaphone & more.
here's some dl codes for my latest EP "Fermentoir" that came out last month as a NO PART OF IT subscriber exclusive. if you grab one, courtesy-claim it in the replies.
New EP. I recorded this in the month of February for the RPM Challenge. I went into it with a plan to work with one method I came up with a while ago, but then realized I could extend another method I've used in the past, so I had to try that a lot. I did a lot more "hand on" editing of waveforms than I usually do (I generally try to get code to do all the work). And it was fun, though my ears are very tired.

Anyone know why #GNOME exposes a list of applications on the lock screen?
It’s not even the correct list of running applications, you can’t do anything with them, and I’m not sure I understand the logic behind this design decision at all.
Hi everyone! I'm a composer & audio developer. I also like fountain pens, mechanical keyboards, software-defined radio, leftist politics & learning new things.
My music tends toward the glitchy, noisy, microtonal side of things, and I like to use Max/MSP and incorporate audio samples from my software-defined radio hobby. You can find my music at my site, SoundCloud & YouTube:
Here's one of my compositions I'm particularly proud of. It's for trumpet, trombone, percussion, and MIDI keyboard. There are cheesy Yamaha DX7 synth sounds, microtonal brass, and glitchy, distorted noise.
For me, living/functioning with tinnitis means forgetting that I have tinnitis. Some days are harder than others. Like today. I can actually feel the buzzing. If you have tinnitis, what do you do to cope? Tonight, I'll plug in my noise machine and hope it does the trick.
