come in, have a seat | disquiet0515

my first disquiet submission. a chance encounter with this picture on instagram posted by dsqt made me take notice. i didn't know anything about disquiet before this. i kept staring into this picture, past all the text, and my mind started to drift. It is only a few hours later on revisiting  that i read about the project and decided to participate.

the basis of "come in, have a seat" is a field recording of trees in the wind. a few weeks back, on a walk in the neighborhood, the track came on as part of a random selection from my music library. it was comforting to listen to as i walked through a mostly concrete jungle. i checked to see what the track was, and to my surprise, i found it was something i'd recorded nearly 10 years ago for a play - the sound of trees in a gentle wind.

i wanted the listener to begin to feel like they belong.

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.

Electronic music, field recordings and weird electroacoustic sounds.

Artist, aspiring folklorist, and student of the Disquiet Junto, from the other side of the meta-narrative.

Resounding through all the notes
In the earth's colorful dream
There sounds a faint long-drawn note
For the one who listens in secret.
