    ah fuck. it can suck sometimes. i get ringing and weird noises mostly in right ear that comes and goes randomly. sometimes fullness in the ear and like my right ear is hearing everything out of phase which does my head in. often get the feeling of the motion of the ocean.. like i've been on a boat for a week and just stepped off onto dry land. or sometimes i feel as though someone has just shoved me slightly. nystagmus sometimes too. thankfully my hearing is still really good and i've managed the dizziness pretty well. reading the r/meniere's sub forum on reddit reveals some real horror show type scenarios for some people who get vertigo really bad for days on end and spend time laying in bed and throwing up from the spins. fuckn' hell. 

    it's a weird condition and i hope they can figure it out better because it's just a list of symptoms really. they can't explain it beyond "yeah, you have it". one neurosurgeon said there's this one tiny nerve and they've done some procedures where they just wreck that nerve completely so it's dead then people "sometimes" get better.  i said ah.. no thanks. he described the procedure to me.. they go in behind the ear and find the nerve.. this is at the most powerful magnification possible in surgery and it still like a hair in a bundle of hairs.. i don't know how they find the nerve but they do. he said generally people stay in hospital for a couple days because the procedure causes severe vertigo and it has to be managed in hospital until it subsides... then that's that. it either solves the problem or it doesn't. there's possible side effects too which sounded none too good. 

    maybe cyberpunk will save us and we'll get some implants one day. ha. fuck. if there's a heaven and i get there i'm gonna punch god in the face. 

    anyway.. back on topic. i voted blue and triangle in sean's poll. we've not had triangles have we?

    if you get nystagmus, it must be a very heavy condition. I'm glad that all of this doesn't stop you from making lustful fuckery music.
    the surgery description made my skin crawl: no no no no

    Yes, I hope no deity exists out there, I have a list that would make the mexican cartel unease

    ...some trouble with mastodon here, but this time I would bet for non-euclidean geometries

    i have taken lot's of xanax back in the day when it was prescribed to me. had to gradually taper off over a year or so and it was really difficult. i've taken it maybe 3 times since then. recently for an MRI. it worked like a charm but 2 days later i had a weird anxiety bump from it i think. was like a mini GABA fuck up or something. so, i stick to very low dose valium when needed. also prescribed as a band aid for dealing with Meniere's symptoms. low dose valium works well. i only took it because long flight, no sleep night before etc.. also, 3 hour drive to atlanta airport from western north carolina mtns which is seriously wiggly roads that gave me some car sickness nausea vibes. ugh. needed the power of valium to guide me through those first hours of the plane ride. 

    but yeah, xanax is a really useful tool when you just need to surrender and not care about anything. 

    Indeed, as for surrender, I am a luminary: I have made it a discipline... but xanax soon reach inurement: I try not to gorge on it otherwise when I find myself at 10,000 meters, the instinct for self-preservation, sober and ferocious, it gives me no escape.
    Meanwhile I take note: "try valium"

    that said, poking fun at tDR is in good fun (i know you know that too Draft :beer:) but it’ll be a nice surprise when the new live stuff drops in the next few weeks. it’s all good.

    ...yep, on the one hand I support all the possible reasons for tDR, on the other hand I can't resist fucking with it  :cisfor:

    in all honesty I prefer recent graphics to overly elaborate ones (for example Alexander Rutterford). Instead of representing the nature of sound, which is impossible without falling into clichés, the primary structures (circles, squares...) do not bind the music to an image, and can be based on a stylized idea, a barely suggested one, which is linked not so much to the atmosphere of the sound, but to the principles behind it.
    The graphics of exai itself would not say much: it becomes interesting if you suspect a link behind. I don't think imagining that there is a reference to John Conway is conspiratorial or pretentious: the dynamics of the concepts of the game of life have an effective parallelism with the algorithmic compositional processes, and it is at least obvious that if a famous designer decides to solve a representation with simple gray rectangles, the real work, the one for which he is paid and recognized as an artist, lies in the idea that motivates the rectangles, certainly not in the rectangles itself. The fact that there is a reference behind it is not only plausible, but it is also the only reason of being for this kind of approach to graphics. I imagine the same can be said for eleseq (stable geometries such as squares and circles, but assembled so as to transgress the sense of balance), or the triangular patterns of AE_LIVE, even those connected with the random combination of patterns (a tribute to Anni Albers ? Zdeněk Sýkora?). The first printing of AE_LIVE, for example, is a declared tribute by Ian for the first font used in computer s. (who knows why, but i wrongly thought it was connected to Bruno Munari)

    All this prolixity just to say, ok Ian take your time

    @Draft78 I remember Sean sort of confirming your question that the 2010 sets might be released someday. I had to go and look for it (in "twitch ama" thread) :

    E17788B1-5BAE-4B16-AD7E-9C2A1FB51ECA.thumb.jpeg.cf5790a46a2b3826e9f154d5d75ddbe4.jpeg

    Vague as usual, we don't know what this "ok" means, but I think the fact he made the effort to come back and reply to you at all could mean something. 

    ...I have reason to fear that "ok" is a kind way to liquidate my bulshit pomposity on the solar system... and go to dinner.
    If I recall correctly he once spoke of a single soundboard from that set, which was captured by the engineer together with an external microphone with the voices of the audience ... I think he was referring to a second version of the Domino that appeared out of nowhere in 2016 (actually much more defined than the bootleg already in circulation).
    ...Now, arrived at the bottom of Pandora's box, the hope I have is more of a shadow

    I was in that maelstrom. Will we ever have a soundboard? Sir Anthony left a laconic "ok" somewhere here, then silence. Yet I urge to come back here

    Gescom remixing Ae, Ae remixing Gescom yea they are all over the place, good luck with Mcdonalds. A Big Mac perhaps?

    I always wonder how they do this weird clarinet type of sound
     

     

    this is the Gescom I listen to the most: I could have that melody installed in the cortex (alternating in perpetual cycle with Konlied mx) without getting bored of it.

    Than this:
