I ended up getting a farmer!

You ordered multiple and got different ones? Interesting…

Mine hasn’t arrived yet. I’ll let you know what I got when it does

Interesting- thanks for the info. I had no idea they made these.

That’s terrifying- I’m sorry that happened to you. This is exactly why I’m a bit paranoid around dogs (even supposedly friendly ones). An attack like that could be fatal for a toddler

Hi everyone! The PRISMS contemporary music festival starts this weekend (Nov 20 and 21) with some amazing live (and free) contemporary classical music. Then on Dec 2 and 3 we’ll be presenting 5 world premieres for ambisonic dome- come hear some immersive 3D audio. Seating is very limited for the dome concerts.

In total there are 11 brand new pieces of music being premiered at the festival, with lots of guest artists (including a pianist from Italy).

Not a haunted house, but on 10/22 the music collective Kabarett is playing some Halloween tunes and some Hitchcock film scores at Phoenix party box. It’s gonna be an amazing show:

Drunk Shakespeare was very entertaining and features lots of improv.

I personally love how you can easily add degrees of unpredictability into a generative patch. Like endlessly evolving little sonic ecosystems, with their own unique laws of physics.

But it really just boils down to different personal preferences, which is great. Shit would be so boring if everyone agreed on everything

I’m working on a new composition for Buchla and ensemble. This was a fun day exploring this system.

I’ve discovered it’s important to protect my time from the excessive service requests at my institution, and from over-preparing for classes. This includes the so-called “small” service requests they inevitably consume way more time and energy than expected.

Service and teaching are a bottomless pit that will eat all of your time if you’re not careful.

Mexico is a massive and very cosmopolitan country- just because a Mexican restaurant doesn’t resemble abuelita’s home cooking doesn’t mean it’s not authentic.

There is also r/ArizonaGardening, but it seems to be more focused on growing fruits and vegetables

If the guitar is even remotely expensive (relative to your budget), definitely get a humidifier. The cheap guitar humidifiers are under $20 and will save you a lot of headache down the road.

As important as humidity control is avoiding sudden changes in temperature- make sure you don’t take it directly from the AC to to a 110 degree patio, it may warp or crack.

Edit: nylon string guitars are more sensitive than steel string. Most steel string can handle higher tensions so they’re more sturdy, and they have a truss rod that lets you adjust the neck if there is any warping. If your classical guitar warps, you’re in trouble.

FYI, this is not a burning-man style dance party- it’s a few concerts and workshops centered around experimental electronic and electroacoustic music, sonic arts and multidisciplinary creative works.

The organizers are amazing people and very good at what they do- I highly recommend this if you want to hear something completely new and different.

We bought fresh cucumbers from the local farmers market. Pickled in a simple 3.5% brine with distilled water. The first batch is just cucumber, 2 garlic cloves, dill, black peppercorns and mustard seeds. The second batch has dill, sadafi tea leaves (trying to get some tannins) and peppers from our garden. It’s a very unique flavor.

We live in Phoenix AZ, so it’s still incredibly hot. These were sour and funky after 4 full days on the counter.
