RIP Eliane Radigue.
the actual story of what happened at the National Endowment for the Humanities last year is even more infuriating than we thought
An interesting way to repeat performances for neuroscience

Sounded great!!!
To understand what's going down at WaPo, this information is essential. The tech bros brought Trump to power, and the are exploiting their hold on the administration to accumulate wealth in an obscene fashion. The last thing they want is a newspaper running exposés that mess things up.
Completely shocked by the sudden loss of Catherine O’Hara, one of the funniest and most talented people on this planet.
As a massive fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas, I couldn't think of a better send off than her performance of Sally's Song.
Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs. The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.
Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
"So much of the power of major labels is rooted in their ability to protect this idea that musical genius is this rare and scarce thing that only they have ownership over."

Incredible to see this rare footage, close-up, of the legendary David Tudor performing live at STEIM in Amsterdam in 1994.

A small white ceramic bowl holds a golden, seared bite topped with pale green sauce and two red berries; an iridescent spoon rests across the rim, its handle adorned with a cluster of black caviar, on a wooden table.
New year's dinner - crab cake with saffron aioli and pomegranates with suspended caviar.
I loved learned about her !!!
RIP Tatiana Schlossberg, journalist and member of the Kennedy family
She wrote an amazing essay about RFK Jr. and I think a wonderful tribute to her is sharing it with you

Musicians being helpful for science !! www.theguardian.com/environment/...
A bright, industrial-style rehearsal room labeled “Creative Music Studio.” A maroon banner with gold lettering hangs high on the back wall above a dense arrangement of framed jazz posters, concert bills, and illustrated musician portraits. The space has white brick walls, exposed beams, and large factory-style windows on the right letting in daylight. In the center, two green mid-century chairs sit on layered rugs facing a single microphone stand, suggesting an intimate performance or talk. To the right are stacked folding chairs, a Yamaha speaker on a blue stand, and a cluster of percussion instruments including congas and drums. To the left are music stands and additional framed artwork. String lights run along the wall, adding a warm, informal atmosphere to the otherwise clean, gallery-like studio.
Excited to be playing in Kingston for the release of the "A Year of Deep Listening" at Creative Music Studio.
I loved that book! Especially the male syrup chapter
I'd appreciate if any audio tech folks could help circulate this exciting call for a fully-funded PhD position working in multichannel audio design for galleries.
It's part of an ARC funded project 'From Noise to Signal: Improving Sonic Experiences in the Gallery'

Indiana University banned its student newspaper from printing just days before homecoming weekend — after firing the paper’s advisor when he refused to censor critical coverage. That would be bad enough on its own, but FIRE is taking this one personally, as the Indiana Daily Student reported this hostile campaign was due in part to its coverage of FIRE’s ranking Indiana University as the worst public university for free speech. You read that right. The school’s response to the news that they are bad at free speech … is to censor the news. It’s ironic — and not just in the Alanis Morissette sense — that these actions will likely push its overall ranking even lower next year. At least we can’t fault them for consistency.
Why did Indiana University attack and cut its own student newspaper?
Well, in a twist of irony any English professor would call clichéd, it turns out IU did it because they were angry about the students' reporting on a FIRE report naming IU as the worst public university for free speech in the US.
A tabletop display at Northeastern University shows a flyer for my talk titled “Sonification You Can Use.” The flyer includes my photo—short blond hair with a silver streak, glasses, and a black top—and lists the event details: Thursday, October 16, 3:00–4:30 PM, Ryder 354. It notes my role as Professor of Music and IACS at Stony Brook University. Behind it are Northeastern College of Arts, Media and Design brochures, and a cup of red-and-white pencils sits on the wooden table. Sunlight streams through large windows in the background.
Excited to be in Boston speaking at Northeastern University and New England conservatory.
This black-and-white photo shows three musicians performing onstage. From left to right: Margaret Schedel is seated, playing an electric cello, surrounded by audio gear and cables. Andy Pitcher sits in the center, leaning over a lap steel or horizontally held electric guitar, adjusting pedals at his feet. August Sheehy is on the right, playing a hollow-body electric guitar, also with several effect pedals. They are positioned in front of a curtain backdrop and beneath a projection screen
Still from Saturday's performance. Dan Gitlin, photographer
The image shows the back pocket of a car seat containing several pieces of audio and camera equipment neatly stored together. From left to right: A RØDE MicroLED light (black, compact square device) used for on-camera lighting, attached to a small mounting bracket. Two hexagonal adapters or cold shoe mounts, each with a brass threaded insert on top—likely used for attaching lights, microphones, or other gear. A gray handheld gimbal or stabilizer (possibly for a smartphone or small camera) on the far right. Multiple charging and connection cables running through the setup, indicating these devices are ready for charging or in use.
When you forgot to charge your tech but remembered to charge your portable batteries.
