Listener comments!
	12:11am osvi: Oh yeah, back were I come from, those were the jams that expressed our 8th grade feelings, through dedications, on the cheap AM station, at like midnight, on a school night.
	12:12am osvi: oops, "where I come from"
	12:16am Nat: Yep!!!! I'm STILL at an 8th grade maturity level pretty much.
	12:23am sudo: second disc gets dark as hell.
	12:24am neil: word 23rd
	12:45am albie: 8th grade ruled
	12:58am D in Miami: I have one of those phone taps. Fun to play around with.
	1:06am Nat: Amazing, D! I got me some smart listeners.
	1:17am D in Miami: Thanks, Nat! I found it and thought it was like a contact mike at first. Got nothing, but found out about it on youtube, where he places it on cd players, motors, phones and the like.
	1:24am neil: me vhs caveman. ugh. coaxil cable.
	1:34am fred: Good morning Nat
	1:34am neil: sometimes digital clocks amaze and confuse me!
	1:54am Nat: Hey Fred, bet you'd enjoy Phillip's earlier set in this show. Speaking of clocks, I was hearing about a radio station out in California where the hippie station manager took all the clocks out of the control room years ago so that the DJs would have no idea how long they'd been playing songs...enforced free-form indulgence!
	1:56am fred: I'm enjoying this set, I'll hit the archives later for the rest
	1:58am neil: nice! phillip glass plays video games?
	2:03am neil: my bad wrong phillip. i do like the way it bounces around in my head.
	2:13am neil: could it be workrd backwards so pictures become sound as ur sound is turned to textile? digitized image filter sound converter?
	2:13am fred: Tom Johnson too uses a lot of ratios and formulas, but the result is very different. I like both
	2:14am Rob W: Missed the performance, will check later, nice conversation...
	2:15am DJ Fancy Feast: Yes, do some mixer feedback!
	2:16am fred: @neil: someone at work is doing a PhD on that kind of stuff, there's already software out there that does that
	2:19am Rob W: Nat - we should have some Tom Johnson in the FMU record library, he recorded for Lovely Music (Robert Ashley, Alvin Lucier, Gordon Mumma, Pauline Oliveros etc label in the 80s) and records on that label came to FMU via the late great New Music Distribution Service (NMDS).
	2:21am fred: Tom Johnson's Galileo is really cool to see performed live: 5 pendulums struck on their highest points, generating all kinds of rhythmic ratios. Pierre Berthet -- another personal favorite -- performs it really well
	2:22am Nat: Fred, Phillip's asking which programs are made to translate image to sound? Got any good recs to check out?
	2:22am Nat: And thanks, Rob!!! Both for the kind words and the Tom Johnson rec...I'll play that next!
	2:25am fred: @Nat: I don't know, I'll ask about that and at work and get back to you. I heard people talk about it so I just know it exists
	2:27am Nat: Cool, Fred! Sounds very interesting.
	2:28am neil: guess with the right tools its the mind ov the craftsman to control whatever medium. human nature to change stuff. there-in art?
	2:31am fred: Nat, you might want to check out the NIME conferences. I hear some of the performances were really cool. Diemo was there earlier this year, about when he played on your show
	2:35am Nat: Will do, thanks for the rec!
	2:36am fred: I once heard station listener Zax play Stockhausen's Spiral on no-input mixing board, in a church. Pretty wild
	2:43am neil: holy white noise batman! hes trying to jam my brain!
	2:45am neil: glych bit by glych
	2:50am fred: That was really nice!
	3:00am Rob W: Agreed, great job Phillip (and Nat), excellent show and tell!
	3:01am neil: thanks! control time turn off ur clock!
