Can anyone help me brainstorm more pieces for solo instruments that consist solely of a single arpeggiation pattern of a sequence of chords? This is what I have so far... midnightsledding.net/arpeggios/ar...

To celebrate the new year, I'll do two performances one hour apart. One at 11pm on December 31 and one at midnight on January 1. Both will consist of a tone sustained for 1/8760 of the remaining duration of the year. midnightsledding.net/carlson/patt...

I'm resuming the podcast that I started in 2016: once and a while my computer randomly records one second of audio from a microphone in my living room and then posts it as this podcast. midnightsledding.com/carlson/podc...

If you say so?

Finally.

I've been exploring what I'm calling "Complete-Harmony Canons", which are canons that result in all possible harmonies (once and only once, ignoring pitch doublings) depending on the number of voices and the number of pitches that are used. (examples in the link) midnightsledding.net/chc/chc.html

this is just 17776 with baseball instead of football en.wikipedia.org/wiki/17776

Do the sample values in digital audio have a unit name? And if not, can we call it a Carlson? Like, "the bass is lacking something, let's bump it up 100 Carlsons"?

I'm at the combination

I know this is a long shot, but I'm looking for station/stop schedules (trains, buses, school buses, ferries, planes...), current or historic, where there are only two arrivals and/or departures each day. midnightsledding.net/carlson/time... I'll be researching, but contact me if you know of any? ❤️

For my recitals of conceptual and often-pattern-based pieces of music, I'm up to 100 works by people other than me. It brings me great joy to learn of new works like these, old or new. Please let me know if you think of something that might fit in? midnightsledding.net/carlson/cbse...

As part of my series of recitals consisting of one note within an hour, I sustained a single tone during the 400000th hour since my birth. midnightsledding.net/carlson/1hou...

What line are people waiting for him to cross?

I've been trying to find the smallest hour-long MIDI file that contains a single note. I'm down to 44 bytes. Any experts out there who can help me shave it down? This is what I have now: midnightsledding.net/documents/1h...

Scott Robertson recorded and transcribed 50 of his yawns

According to the article "Inharmonicity of the copy of Antonius Stradivarius violin" it would take 80'20" of sustaining an open D string for the sounding 2nd partial to vary by 1 vibration from the exact doubling of the fundamental frequency. So now I have something to look forward to doing tomorrow

“The St St St” is a perfectly good abbreviation of “The State Street Saint” and I will die on this hill

On Saturday afternoon I'll sustain a single tone during an hour, with a start and end time determined by the relative proportions of button-pushes on this website: midnightsledding.net/tally/tone_t... that accumulate between now and then.

My new album, "607 Tunings of a Major Ninth Chord", is in the new batch from Flea Edition. Check it: newmusicindustrialcomplex.com/newreleases/

In her posthumous Netflix episode Famous Last Words, Jane Goodall reflects on life, hope, and humanity’s duty to heal the planet. With wit & sorrow, she imagines sending Trump, Putin, Xi, and Netanyahu “off on Musk’s spaceship.” It’s a final, profound rebuke of ego & evil, over empathy & kindness 🤍🕊️

I'm looking for a recommendation of someone with a stellar ear who could help me (for a fee) with a difficult transcription?

People sometimes claim that experimental music is hard to relate to, but that's bullshit. Who hasn't sat in a room? You never thought it was gonna rain?

New Focus has released my album of Pier Francesco Valentini's "Canone nel Nodo de Salamone" from 1631. It's a canon for potentially infinite voices. This album is a version for 1024, recorded by myself and some of my most treasured collaborators. newfocusrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/pier-f...

As part of my series of hour-long performances that consist of a single tone, I set up a service where if you call (858) 346-5851, you can hear an hour-long audio file that contains a tone only during the last second, after which it will hang up.

A website that systematically goes through all the combinations of start and end times (measured in seconds) within an hour, based on the number of visitors to the site. I'll sustain a note between the times, wherever the page ends up, this Friday afternoon. midnightsledding.net/count/score....

My 54th Milton Babbitt recording: Reflections (for piano and tape), performed by the amazing Aleck Karis. The tape part had massive amounts of... let's call it "independent rubato" between the 4 channels, so I edited it last year to tighten up the rhythm. midnightsledding.net/recordings/b...

This morning I'm thinking about a real-time score that sometimes interrupts a paper score.

If notes had substance, the center of mass of the Bach Chaconne would be just below A4, at the beginning of measure 140. Trying to figure out how to turn this into a book deal...
