LD2: Auddities

Here is Live and Direct episode #2, "Auddities" in a slightly edited podcast (i added two songs; think of it as the Deluxe Remastered Podcast Edition). It weighs in at 62.5MB and clocks in at 1:08:15. (I ran over due to excess blabbing... good thing the hosts of the show after mine couldn't make it :)

"Auddities" = "audio" + "oddities". These run the gamut from odd sounds to unusual production techniques to strange content. I divided the show up into the following sections, each followed by the approximate starting time (should you wish to skip to a particular section):

1. Introduction, 0:00:00
   
2. Algorithmic music, 0:00:42
   
3. MIDI music, 0:04:52
   
4. Tracked music, 0:10:20
   
5. Sample-heavy music, 0:19:35
   (note for upstate NY peeps: Rochester/Vertex shoutout @0:33:30)
   
6. Digitally produced music, 0:34:00
   
7. Numbers stations (The Conet Project PDF; music: disc 1, disc 2, disc 3, disc 4), 0:42:40
   
8. Natural phenomena (Electric Enigma PDF; music: disc 1, disc 2), 0:50:10

LD1 now available for your downloading pleasure

Here is my first show in mp3 format, minus the technical difficulties: Live and Direct #1 (49.4MB, 53:57). It features my introduction, a song by Enigma, and a speech by Terence McKenna entitled "Culture and Ideology are not Your Friends". It's dedicated to my daughter Abigail, with a little surprise from her at the end.

As soon as I figure out how to do it, a podcast feed will be available. EDIT: I re-encoded it as a 22KHz MP3; I apologize if that's still too big for some people to download. Thanks for listening, and please share your thoughts.
