In other exciting news I've been releasing stuff on bandcamp. It's here: notnicknorton.bandcamp.com Cool, see you in a few months!

Hey all, periodic bluesky check in! Really stoked for this show on September 30 in LA! Tickets and info here: brightworknewmusic.com/event/nick-n...

Sometimes just sitting there with a spreadsheet for a while to figure out a gear packing list is so nice

In 2025 if you see people meeting up in a parking lot for a shady deal they're probably buying eggs

God I hope Sheinbaum announces that Mexico is dropping tariffs on everyone else in the world (except Israel) tomorrow

See everyone on the streets on Saturday, April 5th! HUGE protests against Trump policies are happening nationwide! HandsOff2025.com

I met some penguins last year, they're absolutely not down with this

Hello new bluesky followers! Suppose you are theoretically interested in what I do, so my music is up at nicknorton.music and I'm fundraising for my next record at notnicknorton.bandcamp.com. You are neat!

This show last week was super fun, thank you for having me, and yeah I'm now hooked on playing shows in surround sound in case anyone wants to book me

Holy shit I logged out of bluesky for like five or six months and came back to a bunch of followers and folks posting some of my stuff. Fuck yeah bluesky! Hello all! Hi George! Here's a comp I produced for PPR back in January that raised money for the LAFD foundation during the fires.

The phrase "Chekov's AR 15" just popped into my head but I guess that's just how it is now

huh

Got hired to sound edit and mix a pilot in a day. That's definitely not happening, but I'm having a fun weekend with it anyway. Made a new mix template with eight reverbs!

In a surprising twist, a WSJ reporter saw my being angry at capitalism on twitter and asked to interview me for a piece about how younger people invest. Gonna be an interesting phone call this morning.

my favorite is always "omg homelessness is so intractable and impossible to do anything about" *a million studies show giving people an apartment solves it nicely* "OH WOE IS US, SO IMPOSSIBLE!!"

I think petty nicknames are stupid and petty, yet I can't let go of Genocide Joe

@bengeyer.bsky.social I just went to check out your theory textbook and your site doesn't seem to be loading, just a heads up!

Just got the video back from the premiere of my piece for string quartet and electronics back in April, with the Eclipse Quartet and @eyesack.bsky.social at 2220 Arts for the Hear Now festival. Glad to share it, maybe something comforting in this insane week. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmpj...

Happy to discover that Riker has moved his Google searches to Bluesky

Getting some pretty shitty messages on the other place for asking why fellow Jews weren't posting about the thousands of dead civilians in Palestine during past attacks, that's fun

Straight up ready to murder the dude who owned my camera before me. He set it to default to variable frame rate when it turns on. Completely fucked my first time using it, have to refund and probably lose the client, deeply, deeply upset and angry. There are no second takes in concert recording.

The West is relying on the talking point of "Israel's right to defend itself," but after facing escalating attacks on their people and infrastructure, none of them appear to care about Palestine's right to defend itself. Israeli apartheid must end.

“COVID IS OVER! STOP LIVING IN FEAR!” - the people afraid that seeing a rainbow will turn their kids gay

One week after discovering hard mode on wordle, I have determined that it's actually easier because your choices are much more limited

I am having sticker shock being back in the US from Spain. The $13 breakfast of a coffee and a pastry I just got would have been maybe $4 max there. Last night's dinner was $50, wouldn't have been more than $25. Fuckin profit drive man

The particular pleasure I am deriving from Nick Norton's "Music for Sunsets," two weeks on, is in the veins of neo-Vangelis that permeate and percolate through its layers. Dig, as they say.

Y'know I figured civil war II would start in early 2025 but maybe if they shut down the government it'll happen sooner. Might be interesting

Dude in this alley is playing What A Wonderful World in Catalan and I'm eating chocolate and watching little kids playing with dogs and friends getting drinks and he might be right

Mood at the album release party last night AND I have the row to myself right now for my flight to Paris hell yeah!

Just woke up with my pillow case in my hand and a naked pillow under my head, huh

A thing I never thought would happen but now has is that Spin Managzine asked me to predict the Chargers season www.spin.com/2023/09/musi...

Does this count as a cover? youtu.be/P_lSf0TurHA?...

I will never apologize for a post

Vincent Price looks like Riker

Is hard kombucha a vegetable?

Man I'm having pre release jitters so hard right now. What if this thing I've put so much into actually sucks

Had to deal with four separate bureaucracies at once today and am on the edge of tears, I hate our systems so much

Fuck man, I thought for about a year there that I was done being broke (maybe even forever?) but these AMPTP caused strikes are really fucking me over

We all got confused cause for just a minute Twitter was this serious platform for journalism and politics but even then it was always just a silly site for micro-posting about whatever Twitter is dead and Bluesky is not 2019 Twitter and never will be

Kind words from electronica.uk.org about Soviets Make Good Games! electronica.org.uk/blog/explori...

On vacation for a change, at a lake house, *of course* I'd sprain my foot. At least there's a good bathtub I won't be able to get out of

Got the schedule for the music production class I'm teaching locked down. Not like it starts Monday...
