I'm thrilled that my new album, "Ongoingnesses," is part of this batch on Sawyer Spaces, along side Cheryl E. Leonard, Biliana Voutchkova, John Andrew Wilheit, and Jack Herscowitz. Preorder CDs and digital downloads just in time for Bandcamp Friday! […] [Original post on tldr.nettime.org]

i've spent the first few days of my residency doing research into a bit of vallejo, ca history regarding how mare island was named. in the process i've ended up working a lot with the documentos para la historia de california, held by the bancroft library. as it turns out, all of the records […]

at war with ITSM

disappointed that semantic croissant has nothing to do with pastries

sad to miss #ff2026 in person but given that the conference landed between some personal travel and being at a residency for most of october it didn't feel on the table for me

i really like how much python i'm getting to write at work right now

dusting off the newsletter to share info on my forthcoming album out this fall on Sawyer Spaces (@sawyereditions.bsky.social), my Unpoetry at the Frye performance on September 17 with Tom Scully and Noelle K. Chun, a residency, and recent installation work

plans afoot, no uhaul, just garlic

updates on my forthcoming album, a live show, a residency, and recent installations.

felt the itch for some falafel but trying to make do with what i have around the house. turned some leftover moong dal tadka into fritters, wrapped them in lavash with lettuce, pickles, and feta, and noshing away with satisfaction

my next trip to chicago gains another layer of reality

since i recently officially migrated an old account i suppose that this is an #introduction - #introductions post. here, you can call me spit. my pronouns are she/her. if you know me from elsewhere, you can call me as you know me from there. i'm not new to fedi but i decided to create a new […]

i should have posted more during #teardown2026 but my installation went well, i met some cool folks, and i burned myself while trying to connect a recycled vape battery to an ultrasonic piezo driver board. a pretty positive experience ☺️

in classic form, i'm patching and reflashing firmware 36 hours before an event

my piece "flagday (a particular kind of perceptiveness)" is in the installation track at #teardown2026 from July 24-26, 2026 at Jupiter NEXT in Portland, OR. i'll have of extra score booklets available for sale. thanks to @crowdsupply.bsky.social for hosting! www.crowdsupply.com/teardown/por...

breaking my melancholic posting fast to sound the tocsins about the publication of the new issue of WRITING BADLY since no one has seemed to post about it on here writingbadly.substack.com/p/issue-two-...

Is your CyberPart “Dog-savvy”??

[chronic illness] pain 2.5 / fatigue 6. i don't know if this is coming from barreling through the last few weeks or the two back to back gym days after. i've been mostly taking it easy otherwise since i've been home, and while today was the first nominal day back really at work i had to take a […]

also, something striking is that for all the issues around document pipelines and getting in updates from source data - it seems like we haven't been thinking about applying records/info management/DAM principles consistently and it feels like a MASSIVE gap in professional training and knowledge

back to thinking about how archival context is underspecified from a computation and formal perspective. if i cared less about my sanity and life i'd consider going back for a research degree in this

after ~2 weeks in chicago visiting my girlfriend~~~ i am back doing "real" work things a couple of days before i head home. back in my old grad school stomping grounds for the Archivists in the Loop symposium: https://bentley-historical-library.github.io/archivists-in-the-loop/

this is just to say that my participation in Ground Hum this year was an absolute delight. Seattle's festival for installation art, dance, and experimental electronic music is absolutely lovely, and it was a great opportunity for me to up my installation game :) https://groundhum.net

Ground Hum

Ground Hum is a winter celebration of experimental music, art and dance at Washington Hall in Seattle, WA.

lately: played a noise show in a generator organ/7 string violin duo with a friend, still working on my LoRa art project for a february group gallery show, writing monophonic ringtones for said project, getting rid of lots of old clothes, trying to read moby-dick by the end of the month

working with my girlfriend's godfather on as my domain expert on 3d printing for an art project that needs to be done by the end of the month has been absolutely amazing.

[ph (pets); mh] dealing with a sick kitty is no fun. my little guy has struvite crystals in his urine, and peeing in the house kind of got bad at the beginning of the week. it seems like the prescription food has helped but he's still recovering. it is psychologically exhausting to have to […]

i think the mixes for my live album are more or less done!

strong recommend for kleber mendonça filho's latest, THE SECRET AGENT. a true archival thriller to say the least.

i've decided to get into meshtastic as a way to handle emergency comms with people who aren't super into tech. wish me luck
