	12:07pm p20: although i've lost all track of time.... it could be monday ... i don't know ... space and time are all relative and possibly constructions of our brains
	12:08pm Handy Haversack: All comments are one comment, p20. There are just different expressions of it.
	12:08pm Ike: WFMU is the only reason I have any idea which weekday it is. Bryce is on? Yay, it's Friday!
	12:12pm Rory: The Killer Nun
	12:13pm Sem: Helloooo, Bryce, Brycelettes, and problem doggies everywhere.
	12:15pm p20: Just looked up this movie - I've never seen the word "Nunsploitation" before but of course it had to exist.
	12:16pm dave wuz here: my favorite 'sploitaition
	12:17pm Crudbringer: A joke my FiL invented in English, his second language: What's the highest position a woman can achieve in the Catholic church?
	12:18pm Sem: rimshot standing by
	12:19pm p20: flying nun?
	12:20pm ami ad: the missionary flip
	12:20pm dave wuz here: nun of the above
	12:20pm Handy Haversack: I don't know, Crudbringer, what IS the highest position a woman can achieve in the Catholic church?
	12:21pm Crudbringer: "Nun."
	12:21pm Sem: cowbell
	12:22pm Michael 98145: "Mary" ?
	12:22pm Itzall Hear: slide-whistle
	12:23pm Bryce: hey, all! sorry, bloodying up my fingers trying to find artwork, hahaaa
	12:23pm Crudbringer: The pun is a lot more impressive when you hear how thick his accent is. Although, I accidentally did the same thing once to my MiL, listening to (some version of the classic) _Perdida_. I was like, "that word doesn't make sense in that usage, they should just call her "Ho-dida" and MiL heard me say "jodida" and lost it.
	12:23pm Crudbringer: @Michael 98145 wins.
	12:26pm p20: @Crudbringer: I'm always happy to learn some new Spanish vocabulary, thanks for that word!
	12:26pm Carmichael: This guy plays better than Lurch!
	12:27pm Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	12:27pm Krys O.: Arpeggio City!
	12:28pm Crudbringer: take me down to arpeggio city, where the foreheads are tall and the mansion is gritty
	12:29pm Handy Haversack: Arpeggio City: The Next Step (Brought to you by the Arpeggio City Chamber Music of Commerce Music)
	12:30pm Bryce: what the hell did that harpsichord ever do to her??
	12:30pm WoodsOfNH: Is this the part where she flips the harpsichord over and shoots flames over the audience?
	12:31pm p20: NICE!
	12:32pm Jim the Poet: That was amazing, Bryce
	12:33pm Crudbringer: Between the metal sensibility and the title "Phrygian Tucket" that track would not be out-of-place on any Longmont Potion Castle release.
	12:34pm p20: I had no idea that 20th (and 21st) century harpischord music was even a thing. I learn so much here at WFMU Music School.
	12:35pm Bryce: oh man, i heart her. she's a really amazing performer
	12:37pm Handy Haversack: Show sounds fantastic so far, Bryce. Hope the kities are enjoying.
	12:37pm Krys O.: My fave TV themes as a kid featured harpsichord.
	12:39pm p20: @Krys: What show(s)?
	12:41pm Krys O.: Danger Man, Addams Famiily
	12:42pm ami ad: The other day I watched Iran:People of The Flame with David Adams,the most Mystical,musical,Brycetastic episode of the series.
	12:42pm Lixiviated Life: Whats this? Not a single bzzzzzz ? ok I'll just wait right here.
	12:43pm p20: @Krys: Oh, that's a harpsichord in the Addams Family theme, of course! Never really thought about it. And I've never heard of Danger Man. But I loved McGoohan in The Avengers, so I'll have to check it out.
	12:46pm maestroso: Danger Man was called "Secret Agent" in the States.
	12:46pm Carmichael: Danger Man was the precursor to Secret Agent (Man).
	12:49pm Top Nun: Settle down, children!
	12:49pm Krys O.: An interesting article on the harpsichord revival: cstonline.net...
	12:52pm p20: "Instrument of death"? You have my interest! Thanks Krys!
	12:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Bryce, mortals and immortals.
	12:53pm Bryce: i once saw a beautiful modern black gloss electric harpsichord in a mid-century shop in montclair, nj. i really considered being a hit man for a month, just a month....
	12:56pm Rory: @Bryce - I’ll be your hit man, Bryce! Whatcha need bro?
	12:56pm maestroso: @Bryce - there was a clear lucite electric harpsichord in Robbie's Music City in Totowa for a long time in the '70s. I wonder if it's still there.
	12:56pm Krys O.: Simply divine...
	12:57pm Bryce: i'll take 'em all! and a clavichord with restored pads please
	12:57pm Rory: On it! ;)
	12:59pm p20: AHA!! "The mechanism of a harpsichord does not sustain the notes, leading to it being called the ‘instrument of death’"..... (is that why metal guitarists use so much palm-muting?)
	12:59pm Booz: Artimiev!
	12:59pm Crudbringer: Solaris
	12:59pm p20: Eduard Artemyev
	1:00pm Zetti: cool set, thanks.
	1:02pm Barney Grubbs: when I was in college there was a music course where you built a clavichord over the course of a year (www.latimes.com...)--doesn't look like it's on the books any more
	1:04pm JakeGould: Hello!
	1:06pm Krys O.: Need a Magnus chord organ. Had one as a kid. My next pandemic impulse buy.
	1:07pm JakeGould: My pandemic impluse buys are old New Directions poetry books.
	1:07pm Sem: So, I'm guessing no blood-letting in this one, eh, Bryce?
	1:09pm Bryce: oddly not!! i just noticed video of this entire performance is on youtube. there's nothing naked or disembowled at all. huh!
	1:09pm Bryce: i got a magnus in the next room.
	1:10pm Crudbringer: cicadas
	1:10pm WM: @JakeGould: New Directions published a lot of Ezra Pound - my favorite poet.
	1:10pm Bryce: i love when you push a key like halfway down, the not starts at a lower pitch than it's supposed to and bends up as you keep going
	1:11pm luther blissett: good afternoon
	1:12pm JakeGould: @WM: Mainly getting Pablo Neruda and William Carlos Williams books. Also, they give me some deep positive nostalgia for the college bookstore I worked in because they pretty much all have that college bookstore specific charcoal price stamp inside as well as those security tag strips randomly placed inside of them.
	1:12pm Carmichael: Pete Townshend busted into a common Lowry organ, stole the marimba rythmn track and twisted it up into the intro of Baba O'Riley.
	1:15pm Bryce: carmichael, fmu actually has that very (model of) organ in the love room! it's crazy the first time you randomly hit the right "stop" and it goes baba
	1:18pm Carmichael: I'd love to break into an old Wurlitzer and make it work out until it has a heart attack. I could get some killer tones out of it.
	1:19pm JakeGould: I know you guys are talking about analog synths, but I am fascinated by this — effectively — modular synth programming language mentioned on another playlist, Chuck: chuck.cs.princeton.edu
	1:20pm Krys O.: My brother showed me how to circuit bend on transistor radios in the early 70s. Those sounds were amazing.
	1:21pm Hubig Pie: I had a Casio keyboard that did a pretty good Wesley Willis
	1:22pm The old pooperoo: Drive the tubes into clipping, maybe? That's what the guitarists do. Wonder if anyone has tried screwing around with bias? If Cage(?) wrote pieces for a prepared piano, there could be a prepared Wurlitzer
	1:23pm WoodsOfNH: @JakeGould Because of PandemicScatterbrain, I haven't spent enough time with Chuck but I like that I can write plain text. The first thing I did was a program that read and played random chunks of a sound file. And it was maybe 15 lines long!
	1:24pm Bryce: oh wow, ChucK has a lot of modules. on the sort of opposite tip, being purely visual, Audulus is a lot of fun. it'll run on your phone too!
	1:24pm Krys O.: Still have my Casio PT-30 from 1984.
	1:26pm Carmichael: There's a group that breaks into the Nintendo Gameboy and manipulates the synth. They crank out some odd songs. Every Xmas I play the 8 bit version of Let It Snow.
	1:26pm WM: @JakeGould: New Directions was founded by James Laughlin who knew WCW and EP personally. He also published many works by Octavio Paz.
	1:27pm Bryce: LSDj
	1:27pm JakeGould: @WoodsofNH: Yeah, I know that pandemic scatterbrain feeling… For me I have cleared up my GitHub repo after seeing what a bloated disaster it was and have decided to experiment with OpenCV stuff. ChucK looks cool, but I just need to find my own cycles.
	1:28pm JakeGould: @WM: Quality stuff. @Bryce: LOL! I like how on WFMU there are many DJs who never refer to themselves as DJs.
	1:29pm stefica: pandemic scatterbrain is real
	1:30pm Krys O.: Standing in the kitchen blankly
	1:30pm stefica: @KrysO I am sure you were about to do something
	1:31pm Mister Dobalina: These sounds are really helping with this headache I have at the moment.
	1:31pm Krys O.: I know! Have a conversation with my cats.
	1:32pm p20: @JakeGould: I have done some motion tracking stuff with OpenCV... it's a nice library
	1:32pm stefica: My cats get annoyed when I wake them up to interact, though they don't mind waking me up to interact.
	1:34pm Krys O.: Going back to work on Monday and I'm sure my cats will hardly notice the difference since they sleep 20 hours a day.
	1:36pm Chris from DC: Yay, Hermann!
	1:37pm Carmichael: @Jake, do they have examples of sounds written in Chuck? The site looks like it was written by programmers, i.e. indecipherable ..
	1:39pm Bryce: LSDj = the Gameboy music software!
	1:39pm Crudbringer: Did you guys know that "Hermann" is German for "Mister Man"?
	1:40pm alan r: Just tuned in from Mexico City! Nice surprise !
	1:41pm WoodsOfNH: @Carmichael If you install the programming environment miniAudicle (which will install Chuck) you can browse examples via File-Open Example. And yeah, the site looks like it was written by programmers because it was!
	1:42pm JakeGould: @Carmichael: This video shows how you can use Chuck to process a pre-existing sound file: www.youtube.com... As far as pre-existing sounds go, there are sound generators in the programming. But you need to be able to program them to create output. But the video I show is nice in that it shows how you can take a simple WAV file and do cool stuff with it in a small amount of code.
	1:43pm TDK60: Hello, I put this radio station on by mistake, but I see it wasn't.
	1:43pm Booz: My daughter keeps passing my office and hassling me about The Nitsch. Makes me love it even more. Seriously, so evocative of DF.
	1:43pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Got here just in time to scratch mah chronic Nitsch Itch!
	1:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: Sinfonie = German :: Symphony = English ? How's come the "n" and the "m" got changed?
	1:47pm TDK60: I hope to get to Mexico City someday..
	1:47pm Crudbringer: Sin is Sin but Senf is mustard, "nie" is "never" - "Sinfonie" is "never dirty mustard".
	1:48pm Crudbringer: in America we eat ketchup, so it is called a "sym"-ulated (or "phony") condiment.
	1:49pm Sem: KfHP: have look here, the bolded block of text about 5 'graphs down. www.talkclassical.com...
	1:49pm TDK60: Never heard of H. Nitsch. This is immediately attention-calling.
	1:50pm JakeGould: Catsup
	1:51pm Hubig Pie: Music to deep clean a greasy kitchen by. I loves Lowensenf moutarde
	1:51pm WoodsOfNH: I can't figure out if I should clicky-star this or just go hide in the corner.
	1:52pm Sem: www.etymonline.com... Less didactic, more on point:
	1:52pm Booz: Love the album cover with the corner of a Baroque Mexican painting. That grinning dude really digs Mexico.
	1:53pm Crudbringer: @Hubig the green-cap (green peppercorn) Pommery ain't bad on a sammich neither.
	1:54pm TDK60: Ha! Woods..
	1:56pm Bryce: TDK60, wait'll you image search him.....
	1:57pm Booz: Jesus, just cranking it waaaay up now
	1:57pm Hubig Pie: Gonna give that one a try Mr. Crud
	1:57pm Rory: WAKE UP!
	1:58pm Booz: I am having an experience
	1:59pm Krys O.: That was a grand parade.
	2:03pm Dave in Vermont: oh, he's a painter too
	2:03pm common: fantastic, bryce!
	2:04pm Bryce: and a........butcher
	2:04pm Booz: Apparently the live Aktion that this was composed for was canceled due to protests of animal cruelty (?)
	2:05pm TDK60: Booz, Oh? The plot thickens.
	2:05pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Sem. TIL the Denver boot has a link to the symphony.
	2:07pm Rev. Turnip Druid: a Butcher of Consciousness. And a fine one, at that.
	2:08pm Booz: Allmusic: In 2015, Nitsch was scheduled for a major Aktion at the Museo Jumex in Mexico City. After an online petition garnered more than 5,000 signatures in protest (because of alleged animal cruelty) the exhibit was suspended. What remained was the score, Sinfonie Für Mexico City, performed by Ensemble, Students of the Conservatorio Nacional de Música, directed by Andrea Cusumano and recorded at Museo ExTeresa Arte Actual.
	2:09pm Handy Haversack: Scatterbrain: The dog and I were both just sitting outside, staring blankly at nothing while cottonwood sores built up on us in drifts. He has an excuse, at least.
	2:10pm Booz: (One of today's better rabbit holes)
	2:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Handy - Show your dog how you break a cottonwood twig at just the right spot and you can see a star in the cross-section. That'll pique his interest.
	2:12pm common: complicated dude, he is.
	2:12pm Krys O.: I love cottonwood trees.
	2:12pm WM: Bryce: I admire your courage in being willing to play long tracks. You are patient and indulgent to a fault. But I think you've given Nitsch more than his fair share of air time.
	2:15pm Handy Haversack: It's a summer winter wonderland out there, Krys O.
	2:15pm Booz: That was awesome.
	2:16pm sphere: Whoh.
	2:16pm common: creepy as shit. lovely
	2:16pm Jeff Moore: Woooo!
	2:17pm maestroso: Bravo!
	2:17pm Booz: Growing up we had a cottonless cottonwood in the backyard that was endlessly tall and I still think of it as the umbilicus of the world.
	2:18pm WM: The audience was probably applauding because it was finally over.
	2:18pm WoodsOfNH: Not sure how Bryce managed to play a 7-hour track in just over two hours.
	2:19pm Handy Haversack: My black WFMU shirts are all turning white. That sound was how people clicky-star at live events!
	2:19pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Great piece, great set, Bryce!
	2:19pm TDK60: Doesn't sound like my kinda partee.
	2:19pm The old pooperoo: The Nitsch piece was something similar in spirit to Pines of Rome. I don't know why he needed to resort to all the blood and guts shit. I guess the guy takes transubstantiation way too seriously.
	2:19pm JakeGould: Sounds like a hell of a roommate.
	2:20pm coelacanth∅: getting to non-computer-related work now Thanks Bryce it's been Excellent ...though i'm not positive the others here agree but fuck them! tchau
	2:20pm Itzall Hear: "Father figure"
	2:21pm Ike: They should have disemboweled a nice vegetarian papier-mâché cow instead.
	2:23pm Carmichael: Or performed tofu sculpturing.
	2:23pm The old pooperoo: Or, they could re-enact that Beatles album cover.
	2:24pm Bryce: seeya, coel! hi, summermichaelsylvia and all! WM, if you liked that, you'll loooooove: www.discogs.com...
	2:25pm Bryce: ike, there IS a vegetarian alt nitsch festival! i think i'd be a bit more down with tomatina www.google.com...
	2:28pm Carmichael: That looks like it would smell disgusting.
	2:30pm JakeGould: I wish we could still throw tomatoes at performers.
	2:31pm common: @carmichael: but i just read that the acid from the tomatoes cleans the streets. but, i bet you are correct.
	2:34pm Rev. Turnip Druid: HAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS!
	2:35pm WM: Perhaps Nitsch should have read On the Abstention of Animal Food by Porphyry third century neo-platonic philosopher who explains that animal sacrifices are unworthy of the gods.
	2:36pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Fickle damed gods... they supposedly made these things yet they're unworthy. Pfft.
	2:39pm Booz: Speaking of Haas, it is very hard to catch his avocados at perfect ripeness.
	2:42pm Handy Haversack: I was at a festival once where one was supposed to throw hazelnuts at the object of one's affection. There were like a million hazelnuts on the ground. The soundscape was intense.
	2:42pm ami ad: @Booz:So many unripened avocado toasts have been consumed it's unreal.
	2:45pm JakeGould: The longer you stare at an avocado, the less it ripens.
	2:48pm Handy Haversack: Great show today, Bryce! Thanks for all! Thanks, Skeleton!
	2:50pm TDK60: Thanks Bryce, in this tense cluster of days....
	2:50pm Krys O.: There is a nest of starling chicks in the wall of my bathroom. It's the second year that a starling has come through a vent and done this. The sounds drive my cats nuts. It sounds like aliens to me. Thank you for the lovely soundscapes, Bryce! Take care and be well, everybody!
	2:51pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, starlings make some wild sounds!
	2:52pm Mister Dobalina: Really feel'n today's show. Good job, as always, B.!
	2:53pm Rev. Turnip Druid: i can HAAS archive?
	2:53pm ami ad: Thanks D.J.Thanks Crew.
	2:55pm JakeGould: Thanks Bryce!
	2:58pm juan: Thanks for another wonderful show today, Bryce! Be well everyone
	2:58pm Sem: Bryce, thanks for the Nitsch, there's always a niche in my heart for a madman, and a bigger one for a Hermann. Later.
	2:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Bryce. Not a single miscued record today, as per usual.
	3:00pm Bryce: thanks, you all!!
	3:20pm Crudbringer: No, Bryce: Thank you.
	6:01pm WOOOOOOOOO: THANKS BRYCE. AMAZING AS ALWAYS. sorry for all caps i just get excited

Bryce: Playlist from May 29, 2020

I never miscue a record. I am punctual, well-prepared, and dislike clutter. Outgoing and helpful, I'm always appropriately dressed. I do not behave erratically and have excellent penmanship. My CD's never skip, and I am in good health. I like all the notes, in any order.

	12:41pm Krys O.: Danger Man, Addams Famiily
	12:42pm ami ad: The other day I watched Iran:People of The Flame with David Adams,the most Mystical,musical,Brycetastic episode of the series.
	12:42pm Lixiviated Life: Whats this? Not a single bzzzzzz ? ok I'll just wait right here.
	12:43pm p20: @Krys: Oh, that's a harpsichord in the Addams Family theme, of course! Never really thought about it. And I've never heard of Danger Man. But I loved McGoohan in The Avengers, so I'll have to check it out.
	12:46pm maestroso: Danger Man was called "Secret Agent" in the States.
	12:46pm Carmichael: Danger Man was the precursor to Secret Agent (Man).
	12:49pm Top Nun: Settle down, children!
	12:49pm Krys O.: An interesting article on the harpsichord revival: cstonline.net...
	12:52pm p20: "Instrument of death"? You have my interest! Thanks Krys!
	12:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Bryce, mortals and immortals.
	12:53pm Bryce: i once saw a beautiful modern black gloss electric harpsichord in a mid-century shop in montclair, nj. i really considered being a hit man for a month, just a month....
	12:56pm Rory: @Bryce - I’ll be your hit man, Bryce! Whatcha need bro?
	12:56pm maestroso: @Bryce - there was a clear lucite electric harpsichord in Robbie's Music City in Totowa for a long time in the '70s. I wonder if it's still there.
	12:56pm Krys O.: Simply divine...
	12:57pm Bryce: i'll take 'em all! and a clavichord with restored pads please
	12:57pm Rory: On it! ;)
	12:59pm p20: AHA!! "The mechanism of a harpsichord does not sustain the notes, leading to it being called the ‘instrument of death’"..... (is that why metal guitarists use so much palm-muting?)
	12:59pm Booz: Artimiev!
	12:59pm Crudbringer: Solaris
	12:59pm p20: Eduard Artemyev
	1:00pm Zetti: cool set, thanks.
	1:02pm Barney Grubbs: when I was in college there was a music course where you built a clavichord over the course of a year (www.latimes.com...)--doesn't look like it's on the books any more
	1:04pm JakeGould: Hello!
	1:06pm Krys O.: Need a Magnus chord organ. Had one as a kid. My next pandemic impulse buy.
	1:07pm JakeGould: My pandemic impluse buys are old New Directions poetry books.
	1:07pm Sem: So, I'm guessing no blood-letting in this one, eh, Bryce?
	1:09pm Bryce: oddly not!! i just noticed video of this entire performance is on youtube. there's nothing naked or disembowled at all. huh!
	1:09pm Bryce: i got a magnus in the next room.
	1:10pm Crudbringer: cicadas
	1:10pm WM: @JakeGould: New Directions published a lot of Ezra Pound - my favorite poet.
	1:10pm Bryce: i love when you push a key like halfway down, the not starts at a lower pitch than it's supposed to and bends up as you keep going
	1:11pm luther blissett: good afternoon
	1:12pm JakeGould: @WM: Mainly getting Pablo Neruda and William Carlos Williams books. Also, they give me some deep positive nostalgia for the college bookstore I worked in because they pretty much all have that college bookstore specific charcoal price stamp inside as well as those security tag strips randomly placed inside of them.
	1:12pm Carmichael: Pete Townshend busted into a common Lowry organ, stole the marimba rythmn track and twisted it up into the intro of Baba O'Riley.
	1:15pm Bryce: carmichael, fmu actually has that very (model of) organ in the love room! it's crazy the first time you randomly hit the right "stop" and it goes baba
	1:18pm Carmichael: I'd love to break into an old Wurlitzer and make it work out until it has a heart attack. I could get some killer tones out of it.
	1:19pm JakeGould: I know you guys are talking about analog synths, but I am fascinated by this — effectively — modular synth programming language mentioned on another playlist, Chuck: chuck.cs.princeton.edu
	1:20pm Krys O.: My brother showed me how to circuit bend on transistor radios in the early 70s. Those sounds were amazing.
	1:21pm Hubig Pie: I had a Casio keyboard that did a pretty good Wesley Willis
	1:22pm The old pooperoo: Drive the tubes into clipping, maybe? That's what the guitarists do. Wonder if anyone has tried screwing around with bias? If Cage(?) wrote pieces for a prepared piano, there could be a prepared Wurlitzer
	1:23pm WoodsOfNH: @JakeGould Because of PandemicScatterbrain, I haven't spent enough time with Chuck but I like that I can write plain text. The first thing I did was a program that read and played random chunks of a sound file. And it was maybe 15 lines long!
	1:24pm Bryce: oh wow, ChucK has a lot of modules. on the sort of opposite tip, being purely visual, Audulus is a lot of fun. it'll run on your phone too!
	1:24pm Krys O.: Still have my Casio PT-30 from 1984.
	1:26pm Carmichael: There's a group that breaks into the Nintendo Gameboy and manipulates the synth. They crank out some odd songs. Every Xmas I play the 8 bit version of Let It Snow.
	1:26pm WM: @JakeGould: New Directions was founded by James Laughlin who knew WCW and EP personally. He also published many works by Octavio Paz.
	1:27pm Bryce: LSDj
	1:27pm JakeGould: @WoodsofNH: Yeah, I know that pandemic scatterbrain feeling… For me I have cleared up my GitHub repo after seeing what a bloated disaster it was and have decided to experiment with OpenCV stuff. ChucK looks cool, but I just need to find my own cycles.
	1:28pm JakeGould: @WM: Quality stuff. @Bryce: LOL! I like how on WFMU there are many DJs who never refer to themselves as DJs.
	1:29pm stefica: pandemic scatterbrain is real
	1:30pm Krys O.: Standing in the kitchen blankly
	1:30pm stefica: @KrysO I am sure you were about to do something
	1:31pm Mister Dobalina: These sounds are really helping with this headache I have at the moment.
	1:31pm Krys O.: I know! Have a conversation with my cats.
	1:32pm p20: @JakeGould: I have done some motion tracking stuff with OpenCV... it's a nice library
	1:32pm stefica: My cats get annoyed when I wake them up to interact, though they don't mind waking me up to interact.
	1:34pm Krys O.: Going back to work on Monday and I'm sure my cats will hardly notice the difference since they sleep 20 hours a day.
	1:36pm Chris from DC: Yay, Hermann!
	1:37pm Carmichael: @Jake, do they have examples of sounds written in Chuck? The site looks like it was written by programmers, i.e. indecipherable ..
	1:39pm Bryce: LSDj = the Gameboy music software!
	1:39pm Crudbringer: Did you guys know that "Hermann" is German for "Mister Man"?
	1:40pm alan r: Just tuned in from Mexico City! Nice surprise !
	1:41pm WoodsOfNH: @Carmichael If you install the programming environment miniAudicle (which will install Chuck) you can browse examples via File-Open Example. And yeah, the site looks like it was written by programmers because it was!
	1:42pm JakeGould: @Carmichael: This video shows how you can use Chuck to process a pre-existing sound file: www.youtube.com... As far as pre-existing sounds go, there are sound generators in the programming. But you need to be able to program them to create output. But the video I show is nice in that it shows how you can take a simple WAV file and do cool stuff with it in a small amount of code.
	1:43pm TDK60: Hello, I put this radio station on by mistake, but I see it wasn't.
	1:43pm Booz: My daughter keeps passing my office and hassling me about The Nitsch. Makes me love it even more. Seriously, so evocative of DF.
	1:43pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Got here just in time to scratch mah chronic Nitsch Itch!
	1:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: Sinfonie = German :: Symphony = English ? How's come the "n" and the "m" got changed?
	1:47pm TDK60: I hope to get to Mexico City someday..
	1:47pm Crudbringer: Sin is Sin but Senf is mustard, "nie" is "never" - "Sinfonie" is "never dirty mustard".
	1:48pm Crudbringer: in America we eat ketchup, so it is called a "sym"-ulated (or "phony") condiment.
	1:49pm Sem: KfHP: have look here, the bolded block of text about 5 'graphs down. www.talkclassical.com...
	1:49pm TDK60: Never heard of H. Nitsch. This is immediately attention-calling.
	1:50pm JakeGould: Catsup
	1:51pm Hubig Pie: Music to deep clean a greasy kitchen by. I loves Lowensenf moutarde
	1:51pm WoodsOfNH: I can't figure out if I should clicky-star this or just go hide in the corner.
	1:52pm Sem: www.etymonline.com... Less didactic, more on point:
	1:52pm Booz: Love the album cover with the corner of a Baroque Mexican painting. That grinning dude really digs Mexico.
	1:53pm Crudbringer: @Hubig the green-cap (green peppercorn) Pommery ain't bad on a sammich neither.
	1:54pm TDK60: Ha! Woods..
	1:56pm Bryce: TDK60, wait'll you image search him.....
	1:57pm Booz: Jesus, just cranking it waaaay up now
	1:57pm Hubig Pie: Gonna give that one a try Mr. Crud
	1:57pm Rory: WAKE UP!
	1:58pm Booz: I am having an experience
	1:59pm Krys O.: That was a grand parade.
	2:03pm Dave in Vermont: oh, he's a painter too
	2:03pm common: fantastic, bryce!
	2:04pm Bryce: and a........butcher
	2:04pm Booz: Apparently the live Aktion that this was composed for was canceled due to protests of animal cruelty (?)
	2:05pm TDK60: Booz, Oh? The plot thickens.
	2:05pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Sem. TIL the Denver boot has a link to the symphony.
	2:07pm Rev. Turnip Druid: a Butcher of Consciousness. And a fine one, at that.
	2:08pm Booz: Allmusic: In 2015, Nitsch was scheduled for a major Aktion at the Museo Jumex in Mexico City. After an online petition garnered more than 5,000 signatures in protest (because of alleged animal cruelty) the exhibit was suspended. What remained was the score, Sinfonie Für Mexico City, performed by Ensemble, Students of the Conservatorio Nacional de Música, directed by Andrea Cusumano and recorded at Museo ExTeresa Arte Actual.
	2:09pm Handy Haversack: Scatterbrain: The dog and I were both just sitting outside, staring blankly at nothing while cottonwood sores built up on us in drifts. He has an excuse, at least.
	2:10pm Booz: (One of today's better rabbit holes)
	2:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Handy - Show your dog how you break a cottonwood twig at just the right spot and you can see a star in the cross-section. That'll pique his interest.
	2:12pm common: complicated dude, he is.
	2:12pm Krys O.: I love cottonwood trees.
	2:12pm WM: Bryce: I admire your courage in being willing to play long tracks. You are patient and indulgent to a fault. But I think you've given Nitsch more than his fair share of air time.
	2:15pm Handy Haversack: It's a summer winter wonderland out there, Krys O.
	2:15pm Booz: That was awesome.
	2:16pm sphere: Whoh.
	2:16pm common: creepy as shit. lovely
	2:16pm Jeff Moore: Woooo!
	2:17pm maestroso: Bravo!
	2:17pm Booz: Growing up we had a cottonless cottonwood in the backyard that was endlessly tall and I still think of it as the umbilicus of the world.
	2:18pm WM: The audience was probably applauding because it was finally over.
	2:18pm WoodsOfNH: Not sure how Bryce managed to play a 7-hour track in just over two hours.
	2:19pm Handy Haversack: My black WFMU shirts are all turning white. That sound was how people clicky-star at live events!
	2:19pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Great piece, great set, Bryce!
	2:19pm TDK60: Doesn't sound like my kinda partee.
	2:19pm The old pooperoo: The Nitsch piece was something similar in spirit to Pines of Rome. I don't know why he needed to resort to all the blood and guts shit. I guess the guy takes transubstantiation way too seriously.
	2:19pm JakeGould: Sounds like a hell of a roommate.
	2:20pm coelacanth∅: getting to non-computer-related work now Thanks Bryce it's been Excellent ...though i'm not positive the others here agree but fuck them! tchau
	2:20pm Itzall Hear: "Father figure"
	2:21pm Ike: They should have disemboweled a nice vegetarian papier-mâché cow instead.
	2:23pm Carmichael: Or performed tofu sculpturing.
	2:23pm The old pooperoo: Or, they could re-enact that Beatles album cover.
	2:24pm Bryce: seeya, coel! hi, summermichaelsylvia and all! WM, if you liked that, you'll loooooove: www.discogs.com...
	2:25pm Bryce: ike, there IS a vegetarian alt nitsch festival! i think i'd be a bit more down with tomatina www.google.com...
	2:28pm Carmichael: That looks like it would smell disgusting.
	2:30pm JakeGould: I wish we could still throw tomatoes at performers.
	2:31pm common: @carmichael: but i just read that the acid from the tomatoes cleans the streets. but, i bet you are correct.
	2:34pm Rev. Turnip Druid: HAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS!
	2:35pm WM: Perhaps Nitsch should have read On the Abstention of Animal Food by Porphyry third century neo-platonic philosopher who explains that animal sacrifices are unworthy of the gods.
	2:36pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Fickle damed gods... they supposedly made these things yet they're unworthy. Pfft.
	2:39pm Booz: Speaking of Haas, it is very hard to catch his avocados at perfect ripeness.
	2:42pm Handy Haversack: I was at a festival once where one was supposed to throw hazelnuts at the object of one's affection. There were like a million hazelnuts on the ground. The soundscape was intense.
	2:42pm ami ad: @Booz:So many unripened avocado toasts have been consumed it's unreal.
	2:45pm JakeGould: The longer you stare at an avocado, the less it ripens.
	2:48pm Handy Haversack: Great show today, Bryce! Thanks for all! Thanks, Skeleton!
	2:50pm TDK60: Thanks Bryce, in this tense cluster of days....
	2:50pm Krys O.: There is a nest of starling chicks in the wall of my bathroom. It's the second year that a starling has come through a vent and done this. The sounds drive my cats nuts. It sounds like aliens to me. Thank you for the lovely soundscapes, Bryce! Take care and be well, everybody!
	2:51pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, starlings make some wild sounds!
	2:52pm Mister Dobalina: Really feel'n today's show. Good job, as always, B.!
	2:53pm Rev. Turnip Druid: i can HAAS archive?
	2:53pm ami ad: Thanks D.J.Thanks Crew.
	2:55pm JakeGould: Thanks Bryce!
	2:58pm juan: Thanks for another wonderful show today, Bryce! Be well everyone
	2:58pm Sem: Bryce, thanks for the Nitsch, there's always a niche in my heart for a madman, and a bigger one for a Hermann. Later.
	2:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Bryce. Not a single miscued record today, as per usual.
	3:00pm Bryce: thanks, you all!!
	3:20pm Crudbringer: No, Bryce: Thank you.
	6:01pm WOOOOOOOOO: THANKS BRYCE. AMAZING AS ALWAYS. sorry for all caps i just get excited
