One of my stranger teaching moments was an earnest question from a student who'd spent a lot of time with hippies who believed in A432. As I gave roughly this explanation (without the specifics of the length of a second), I could see disillusionment with his past self move across his face.

Yes I was! I'd almost commented earlier how crazy of a paper I remember it being--I was genuinely stunned at how deep that rabbit hole went.

Most undergrads probably never learn tonal counterpoint or electronic music tbh. Neither is required for non-composers at any of the conservatories I've spent time at

Amazing this instantly gave me a nostalgia I didn't know I had

Why not History/Philosophy of Science?

(Speaking of revisions I'm making: the Lucier piece I write about was premiered by Petr Kotik, and I enjoyed reading your chapter on him!)

Dissertation is best for now! The article draft is piecemeal and incomplete at the moment, but I might be able to share later in the semester depending on when you want to teach it.

Table of Contents for Chapter 2 of my dissertation

I have a dissertation chapter on Amacher and Lucier that I'm working on revising into an article this semester, but it might not exactly be published enough for your purposes. Happy to share more if you're interested!

Amorphous Northeast, 5 or 6 pm

It hadn't yet included "Puff the Magic Dragon" as the only example of iii?

I have. It's expensive and has smallish portions (well, maybe normal by NYC standards) but the food is good and authentic and I say that having been to Georgia.

The melody could make it any one of the three, excellent bait.

(Most are following the left hand, which is...the correct way.)

Just plain cream cheese on an untoasted poppy bagel. On principle I like lox but I am too cheap to buy it except on special occasions.

Thanks so much for sharing this. I find it so interesting to think about the significance of Ardrey Auditorium here--I'd been so immersed in East Coast Classical Music circles that I'd basically taken the auditorium for granted when I was living in Flagstaff. And yet it's such a threshold place.

Why did you take the historical rather than "Pythagorean comma math" approach?

ngl this is a substantial part of why I switched from composition to music theory

The bathroom music there is really something too

You should've seen the emails I exchanged with some librarians who threw out an entire run of journal back issues—for journals that were entirely special issues! The issues were so thematically coherent they were practically books!

Good luck not melting in the heat

I don't have a best, but D3 is the worst. Always so buzzy for some reason.

Without knowing specifics, I think if you do research on which galleries are Native owned, you can find something. The vendors outside the history museum are usually local and Native.

The whole situation is ethically complicated. Like, the Saïdists are the main source of income for many locals.

Honestly by not having been there last weekend you're already halfway woke

More seriously, the IAIA gallery downtown is nice and very respectful.

Wait a minute, you don't think sampling is an essential practice for hip-hop?

Cautionary

Sounds like "week 6" of xkcd.com/456/ incarnate

[snarky comment about Detroit Lakes, possibly with misspelled all-caps]

Pleiades, especially Metaux

YXX is past its peak now that Scoot collapsed...in its heyday there were cheap nonstops to Hamilton (YHM)!

Looking back at the archive of meetings (societymusictheory.org/meetings):

SMT has met in November (occasionally October) forever, just because that's when AMS meets. (Not gonna dig into AMS history.)

Only some programs list location beyond city, but university sites were a thing until the 90s!

I mean, diagrams aside I'd probably reject him based on prose quality tbh
