For #BandcampFriday I have a couple of recent albums to share. "Early Electroacoustic Works (2010-2016) is a compilation record I recently released, full of drone, noise, field recordings and plunderphonics: grizwaldmusic.bandcamp.com/album/early-...

Hillary and Donald were the same. What were to do?

@maddow.bsky.social has a great book about this... "Drift".

As someone who is studying nostalgia as part of my PhD... ultimately its this.

How plummeting international enrollment hurts Syracuse University and its bottom line

This normalizes corruption, feeding the sentiment that both sides suck and so politics is pointless. A Dem party focused on rehabilitating its broken brand would be criticizing Trump and booting out Cuellar. Let the corrupt guys become corporate lobbyists - they’re dragging our party down.

Some men are ashamed of their browsing history, but I am not. @immaculategrid.com

It's like that Seinfeld episode where George pretends he wasn't fired by just showing up the next day except it's real life and these jobs matter.

this is also the underlying belief system behind AI.

"No value, no villain, no vision." - sounds like the bizarro world version of Friday Night Lights.

Not sure what Max is referring to, but as a Syracuse Orange and St Louis Cardinals fan... this is an evergreen thought.

My students refer to any music they find boring, cliche, etc as "AI music". Artists are definitely winning the cultural battle.

You can choose to be exploratory about art. Letting algorithms dictate what you read, watch and listen to isn't inevitable, it's just *easy*.

I'm begging the Democratic party to have the same liberal idealism and ethical standards as *checks notes* Jamie Dimon.

I think "An Unmistakable Pattern of Hostility" might become the title of the piece I've been working on. (not joking)

Part of my PhD process is documenting my research/creative practice. It's something that I am definitely working on getting better at. I've been video-ing some of my composition sessions for future vlogs and videos.

I'm almost positive this is a Simpsons episode.

The internet reminded me that 9 years ago I was rehearsing my viola concerto. It came out pretty alright. www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_Kr...

I get really excited every time I start an NTS radio program and it turns out that's just their audio tag and the program is even better.

I wish there was a Steve Carrell movie that could help me understand our current economic situation.

probably a metaphor for our larger economy. but let's ignore it and keep going...

4 comfort movies (it's actually just rewatching Twister, over and over)

The Bobby Hamilton Quintet Unlimited - Pearl (Among The Swine) [Syracuse, NY, USA ; Soul-Jazz] (1972) https://redd.it/1p1dft8 https://youtu.be/xsT3QCnZPig

I watched the Ti West/Mia Goth "X, Pearl, Maxxxine" trilogy over the last few weeks and this first quarter is easily the best horror film I've seen in awhile.

i should go out and do stuff now, yet my body feels the ancient call to low key hibernate

The Citizens United case has done so much damage to our country.

Doubling the no-input mixer with the cello, just like it says in Walt Piston's Guide to Orchestration.

Should we use this opportunity (like we also should have a couple of weeks ago when AWS went down) to talk about how corporations have privatized the roads and highways of the internet, when in reality we should think of them as public goods, like our actual roads? Or nah?

it only tuesday

I can't open Sibelius because Cloudflare is down and I think the internet is great, I'm glad I live here.

ICE came, Syracuse underground railroad helped Jeremy escape (Top stories)

Drones. Distortion. Sampled short wave radio. I'm really proud of this set. If you like noisy improvised sounds, check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaQQ...

i have no idea what's going on anymore

Society for New Music in Syracuse, NY performed two movements from my chamber piece, "Sonic Abstractions". If you're interested in dark, glitchy electronics and moody vibes, give it a listen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw_f...

This is what I emphasize most in lessons with my students. Write bad music. A lot of it. Keep the 30 seconds that doesn't suck. Then do it again.

I wish we had a political party in America capable of making this argument.

Me, prepping a lecture in 5 years: "I know many of you haven't heard of Dadaism, but are you familiar with 6-7? This is Dadaism of the 21st century."

This is how I find out the truth about the tooth fairy.

If you like drones, noise, shortwave radio samples, no input mixers, and/or looped electric guitar distortion (with a side helping of field recordings)... have I got just the thing for you. (It's free! But also you can buy it if you want!) grizwaldmusic.bandcamp.com/track/electr...

I understand what this post is saying, but I like to think that Democratic voters are really upset at Senate office supplies.

Bread lines have been renamed "Freedom Waits". Patriotism requires sacrifice. Love of country over love of carbs!

i see a lot of concert postings and can't help but notice we're moving back away from diverse programming. it'd be great to not pat ourselves on the back too quickly and avoid going back to business as usual.

I'm making weird noises for 20 minutes tomorrow in Syracuse. My first DIY improvised noise set outside of academia. I'm equal parts excited and nervous.

My marriage summed up nicely:

this but with musical structure

I know times are hard for farmers, but it all feels worth it knowing that Donald Trump has a new marble bathroom and will have a ballroom where he can entertain tech billionaires.

My take is... if you believe in something you have to convince others you're right, not relinquish your values and be a slightly less worse option.

My Dad's first cousin, so technically my second cousin(?) is my "aunt" because it's way easier than trying to understand the first part of this sentence or if the first part of this sentence is genetically accurate.
