Went to the second concert of the North Carolina Computer Music Festival tonight (thanks to [livejournal.com profile] badger for the heads-up). Conversation overheard in the row behind me before the concert:

"I like computers and I like music, so I figured I'd give this a try."
"Maybe it'll be like techno".

They were in for quite a surprise. Anyways, I enjoyed the concert quite a bit. The most amusing work was the late addition, Allen Strange's "Werebeing Split Personality Jazz", which features poetry about a musical werekraken. How could you not love that?

In other news, I'm really glad I don't still work at Motricity.

You're welcome. Monday was the first time I had ever been able to attend this Festival: being alternate years, this year was the first year that I'd noted it far enough in advance to not make plans for at least one of the two nights.

poetry about a musical werekraken

That so deserves to be mentioned on Squidblog http://www.squidblog.com/ .

:) fun fun. Makes me want to pull out my Steve Reich CDs and listen to some old old old electronic music. :)

I took classes with Rodney Waschka at NCSU -- lots of fun. I recognize Larry Austin's name, a few seem vaguely familiar to me.

Given this from the article -- Motricity is also considering moving its headquarters out of Durham, NC to Bellevue, Wash, where Infospace’s mobile unit was based -- we're glad, too.

We like having you around!

Thanks! :)

Of course, I think I'm sufficiently allergic to Microsoft that I wouldn't have been willing to move out there anyways.

Huh. Looks like I missed something very interesting.
