Major thanks to @pkirn + @cdmblogs for covering the 750th consecutive weekly project in the Disquiet Junto. #musiccommunity #DisquietJunto #creativeconstraints #perfectistheenemyofgood

I made a friend down by the ocean

I posted in the latest issue of my This Week in Sound email newsletter a photo from my recent visit to @audiumsf . In the photo I took, I'm holding another photo, showing the construction of the Audium back in the early 1970s. I'm holding it inside the space as it is today. As a bonus, here's a photo of me taking the photo, thanks to @rplktr .

Disquiet Junto Project 0750: Let’s Get Heavy The Assignment: Record something epic. This week’s project marks the 750th consecutive week of the Disquiet Junto music community. The instruction is simple: Record something epic. Deadline: Monday, May 18, 2026, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are. Details: disquiet.com/0750 #DisquietJunto

Got an issue out. Yeah, it's been a minute. Felt good. Feels good. #soundstudies

The angle and sun damage did not inspire confidence

Dan dan noodles for lunch. Also, dumplings and a bao, but offscreen. Also, experimenting with filters.

Disquiet Junto Project 0749: And a Three (3/3) The Assignment: Record the final third of a trio. More than 75 duets resulted this past week from Disquiet Junto community musicians building on a base of 54 solos from the week prior. This week they’ll become trios. Join in! Please note: While this project is the third of a semi-annual three-part sequence that unfolds over the course of three consecutive weeks, starting two weeks ago, you can participate in any or all three of those weekly parts. There are two versions of the instructions for this week’s project — one very short, the other very long, should clarifications prove useful. (You can do three tracks this week, if you’d like, just be sure to read the longer set of instructions if you elect to.) Details: disquiet.com/0749 Deadline: Monday, May 11, 2026, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are. #disquietjunto

My initial experience of today's New York Times Connections was trying to identify which @teenageengineering device this was meant to signify.

Attended a May Day performance, in the Morris dancing sense. I think they should play the music backwards when they untangle the maypole at the end. Is Morris dancing music considered a "reel." Would that mean "un-reeling" (or "reeling out") the reel?

Spreadsheets can be wonderful. The semi-annual #DisquietJunto music community's "trios" sequence of weekly projects is now well underway. I love seeing how this all takes shape over time. I waited to post an example until a track from project 0747 (in which musicians uploaded solos) yielded two different tracks in project 0748 (in which other musicians turn those solos into duets), and that just happened with Tay Ploops’ “eerie bean (and a one).” I love how charting the activity in a spreadsheet provides a means of tracking the evolution of the music, as it all splinters and morphs and recombines. Next week, in project 0749, this week’s duets will reach conclusion as proper trios. First, though, we have 53 musicians’ solos from last week to embroider and complement. And yes, that means we’ve been doing music projects starting every Thursday for 748 consecutive weeks, since all the way back at the start of January 2012.
