Been re-watching Devs. Such a great score. I mean, it's Geoff Barrow (Portishead), the Insects (Bob Locke and Tim Norfolk), and Ben Salisbury, plus pre-existing music from Jan Garbarek and Hilliard Ensemble, and Low, among others.

Was suddenly confused, on SoundCloud, about how to add a track to a playlist — because the interface has changed. You no longer hit the three dots and then select it. You now click the plus sign as shown here.

Really hoping that this Beat group (Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, Steve Vai, Danny Carey) doing 1980s King Crimson songs soon reveals its begun writing and recording its own original material.

I didn't until now notice how popular "audio" is as a starting Wordle word. I like the idea of hundreds of thousands of people typing the word "audio" each morning and then seeing what iterates from there.

Regarding this week's project, number 0760: Remember that Benjamin Franklin — after whose 1727 Junto our Disquiet Junto collective is named — famously harnessed the power of lightning with his “kite experiment.”

Disquiet Junto Project 0760: Harness the Light


Abbreviated instructions below. Full details at disquiet.com.

This year at Musikfestival Bern, the musician and media artist Michael Vorfeld will have an installation that “investigates lightning as a natural phenomenon, a carrier of electrical energy, a source of light, and a source of danger.” He has provided us with a sample of his Light Bulb Music setup for our creative use.

There is one step in this project: Utilize Michael Vorfeld’s shared sample in the creation of an original piece of music/sound that expresses and explores the pervasiveness — whether subtle or overt — of light and energy all around us.

Deadline: Monday, July 27, 2026, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

Yo, manga-headz: will there be more of the series Tatsumaki by Tomoko Yamashita (of Ikoku Nikki fame)? The web comic had five issues in January, four in February, and one in March — and silence since. Thanks.

At the risk of centering one's own personal experiences, I feel like broken music file metadata is truly OG enshittification, and it just keeps enshitting.

I type this as, in 2026, Plex overwrote the file names for the yasiin bey (aka Mos Def) album The Ecstatic (Instrumentals), which upon import is now listed in my apps/database as merely The Ecstatic. At least Plex kept the new album cover art.

April 14th is up there with August 8th (aka 808 Day, after the classic Roland drum machine) as the best electronic music holiday of the year. And you can fold in July 18, World Listening Day, timed to the birthday of Canadian acoustic ecologist and composer R. Murray Schafer.

Each year, musicians around the world record versions of Aphex Twin’s “Avril 14th” and share them.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the song, which first appeared on Aphex Twin’s 2001 album, Drukqs. When something cultural like this takes root, as enough time passes that you can think of it as an annual tradition, you start to wonder if and why the communal activity might ever stop — which is to say, in 25 years we will likely still be celebrating “Avril 14th” Day, and doing so on instruments and technologies that don’t yet exist, as well as on ones that predated the late-1980s technology, the Disklavier, on which it was first recorded. In that way, the song moves both forward and backward in time as it nestles deeper into the collective culture.

@hvdsomp@w3c.social It takes DRM-free ebooks, text files, and I think PDFs, though the latter would be too small. I buy a lot of epubs on Humble Bundle, and various publishers also sell their ebooks without DRM. You get books on it either by putting its memory card into your computer and dragging the files into a folder, or using a browser-based wifi transfer option.

I for one would like to know what the heck this sign is about. The phrase “radio frequency emissions” is pretty tantalizing on its own. The preceding “all” is next level — like, versus what? Is there a different sign that stipulates a subset of signals? And what made this situation an “emergency”? Was something being disrupted? How were the offending emissions first noticed, identified, and triangulated? I would really like to know. (Also, my phone took this photo from about 25 feet away through a windshield, and the sign is barely the size of an 8 1/2” x 11” piece of paper, and this is only the top third of the sign. Kind of amazing.)

I guess there’s a chance that the new Westerlies album, on which they perform music by Bill Frisell, won’t be one of my favorites of the year at the end of the year, but such an outcome seems unlikely.

I founded Disquiet.com in 1996 at the intersection of sound, art, and technology. Since 2012 I've moderated the Disquiet Junto, a community of weekly music/sonic projects. I publish the email newsletter This Week in Sound, and I've written for Nature, Boing Boing, The Wire, Pitchfork, and NewMusicBox, among other periodicals. I'm the author of the 33⅓ book on Aphex Twin’s classic album Selected Ambient Works Volume II. I spend weekends mostly offline. #DisquietJunto #SoundStudies #ambient

Nothing is quite as cyberpunk as mundane cyberpunk. Today I saw power and/or data cables dangling out from under the seat up a motorcycle, from the flap of an elementary school student’s backpack, and in the rear pocket of the jeans worn by someone on a stroll.

Getting some work done at a small library branch. There is nothing like the sheer glee in the voice of a kid who just realized they can take all these books home with them.
