Discrepancy Recordings and the FlightDynamics Podcast
john t. unger studio: American Guernica: A Call for Guerilla Public Art
Artist John T. Unger wants us all to plaster copies of Picasso’s famed anti-war painting Guernica all over everywhere. Sounds good, where should I start? I think his basic concept calls for billboards, but I’m sure those of us with more meager budgets could figure something out.
I’ve made my two full-length releases- Day By Daydream and Purification Sessions -available for listening via last.fm. You can stream, tag, talk smack and all of that good stuff, so what are you wating for?
playtherecords has been a regular in my Bloglines reading for a while. Don’t know why it hasn’t made it into the links here yet… No time like the present!
Soon to be added to the links sidebar, a nice little music blog/podcast with tons of other resources on the subpages. Check it out!
This week’s podcast is a svelte and sexy session from 4 (well, 3.5) incredible net.labels. If it’s getting as cold where you are as it is here at mission control, you’ll appreciate this soundtrack built to accompany you and your favorite companion as you embark on a strange and dangerous mission to raise the ambient temperature via body proximity. Take off those pressure suits and get cozy!
Later, after the sun rises again, make sure to visit Monotonik, Filtro and Thinner/Autoplate to download these releases, and many more besides.

For those of you who were frustrated by not being able to download the free samples from their new location… my sloppy coding has been fixed. Download away, and look for new loops to be added in the near future.
Big updates around here for the holiday season… We’ll take them one at a time.
Krushjob - I’m really happy to announce that the new Logickal EP has been picked up for distribution by Dpulse. The 30 minute collection of improvisational bitfunk will be expanded with the addition of bonus live and remixed tracks. It will be available via Dpulse’s store and all of the major music downloading services. I’m hyped to get this one out to everyone - watch for it just after the new year. Downloadable song samples and perhaps a couple of exclusive bits here on FlightDynamics are coming very soon.
Re-Releases - At the same time, I’m working to get a number of older releases available to the general public via Cafepress. At this time, if you want to show a sign of support for independent music by laying down your cd-buying dollar, go pick up a copy of the latest Logickal full-length, Purification Sessions. Day By Daydream is coming within the next week, to be followed by TwoSidesLive.
Website - As you may notice, I’ve begun adding pages (those links in the header at the top of the page) into the structure of Flightdynamics, which will give access to things that formerly lived in other places at offnominal.com. I’m still in the process of getting all of the links sorted out so bear with me in that regard, but you should feel free to explore (and download) at will.
Update: Due to a burst of late-night productivity, both of my full-length releases - Purification Sessions and Day By Daydream - are up and available from Cafepress.
More info, music, podcasts and other fun are just around the corner!
This site collects unusual spellings of a particular kind, which have come to be called eggcorns. Typical examples include free reign (instead of free rein) or hone in on (instead of home in on), and many more or less common reshapings of words and expressions: a word or part of a word is semantically reanalyzed, and the spelling reflects the new interpretation.
Those that know me will shudder, knowing that I have found a new resource for correcting or mocking others.

Sears Wishbook 1979 C Set 1
How many of these things did you have as a child?
This week, we’re going in two different directions. The set starts with a broken hysterical noisy beat fest megamix from Neontotem, who I’ve been hassling to get me tracks for the podcast since day one. He gave me a coredump, I sorted it out. It should get your blood pumping a little. After that, we change gears to highlight the minimal techno sounds coming out of Santiago, Chile’s Pueblo Nuevo net.label. They’re fairly new on the scene, which lets me feature a track off of each of their releases, so far. If you like what you hear, head over there and download the full releases. Make sure to let them know what you think!

“That was absolutely beautiful” and his expression changed in an instant from madness to a simple kind smile and he said thanks and slowly walked away.
Great little idm mix blog. Good stuff here.
Exactly one year ago, Jhonn Balance died in a fall at home.
This podcast is dedicated to his memory. All of the tracks included here are directly influenced by the music of Coil.
Thanks to the members of the Coil mailing list who sent along tracks for inclusion. Thanks also to Dark Winter and their Full Cold Moon compilation, on which some of these pieces saw their initial light of day.
Now, let’s go Further Back and Faster….

BigFatFez - The Special Branch of The Circulating Library
6 9 N & F - Tension
Informational Terrorism Transmissions - Songwave/Delorian Echo

Minizza - En forêt
Astrogenic Hallucinauting - There is never CONSTANT silence
The Aghori Cup - White River

Flock posts break the blog, or at least the RSS feed. If anyone has any ideas about this, let me know.
Coming in the next week or so… Ape of Naples. Also, look for a special podcast tomorrow at 3.20pmCST (9.20pmGMT) commemorating the life and passing of Jhonn Balance.
Excellent grafx/vj blog.
You might notice things look a bit different around here - I’ve finally moved over to the coolest new WP theme - K2. It’s the sequel to the theme I had running (Kubrick - Kubrick 2… geddit?). I’m still fighting with the header image css though.
In the meantime, I thought I should also pass along to everyone that they owe it to themselves to go check out the new Fognode page. You won’t regret it.
This week I’m offering up an actual live set - recorded four days ago (Saturday Nov 5) at Buzz & Click 3 by yours truly. Like almost all of my live sets, it was improvised in real time using Ableton Live - for you AbletonGeeks out there, I used 1 Operator, 3 Impulses, 3 Simplers, a total of 5 abstract synth loops (three of which came from tracks on the new EP - which I hope to have posted very soon), three sends with Beat Repeat, Ping Pong and Grain Delays and 2 open audio tracks for resampling. I hope you enjoy it, and feel free to send an email or take advantage of the comments section if you have anything to say!
Released yesterday via Audiobulb Records - I’d like to recommend this disc to everyone… You may remember that I played the track Quarter Smile on Episode 9 of the podcast. Go back and listen to the next to last track if you need to refresh your memory. Still not convinced? Manchester’s AngryApe gave it a 10/10 review. As a bonus, the first 200 orders receive a ltd-ed PVC Audiobulb sticker. No, I have no affiliation with the folks besides liking their music!
Tell ‘em you heard it on FlightDynamics!
Woo! Thanks to everyone who showed up to the 3rd Edition of Buzz & Click this past Saturday night - especially Hijexx, Flynn23 and Don & Marissa! Even more thanks to everyone who performed and made it as great as it was! Extra Especial props need to go to DJB and the 91.1 Staff for getting it all together. Thanks also to Brass for featuring some of the new EP on his show Sunday morning. I’ve got a ton of stuff to update around here, so be looking for info on the new release in the next couple of days.
In the meantime, pictures of the evening can be found at in my Flickr photostream, in the Buzz & Click 3PO photoset. The Lovely Angelique was the photographer, and unfortunately was working with a nearly-full CF card, so Satellite City was the last act to be photographed before she ran out of space - sorry about that, everyone!
But really - there were fantastic performances from everyone - great video via DJB and Kip - a great venue and a great crowd. What else can you ask for?
Nashville Scene - Our Critics Picks
A nice writeup for this weekend’s Buzz & Click 3p0. On the plus side, they were kind enough to use my photo. We’ll cut Jason Shawhan some slack for not mentioning me (or LSB, or Tomorrow Ishikawa, or Bluff Duo) in the writeup itself. 
They also used a snippet of a new track in their podcast for this week. Thanks, Nashville Scene!
Still working feverishly to finish up the new EP in time for this weekend… Also need to get a good rehearsal in. Good thing I work improvisationally, eh?
