	🥁 3:18pm david w: Yay, geez! Yay, chresti!
	3:18pm Sem: Greets, g.
	3:20pm geezerette: Sem! Hiya!
	🥁 3:22pm listener james from westwood: Arduiiiiiiiiino. I proofread how-to books on making various projects with those. They always make me wish I could program worth a fig.
	🥁 3:24pm david w: James, I'm with you on that... I can't program and I love the concept behind arduino gadgetry.
	3:36pm Webhamster Henry: Percussionist Jesse Stewart uses my movement-to-music app AUMI to drive servos beating drums in one of his pieces.
	🥁 3:39pm david w: Cool, Henry. So many interesting examples in this realm these days. I'm hardly scratching the surface.
	3:42pm Webhamster Henry: I'd like to do it myself; arduinos, FPGAs and Raspberry Pis mean a lot of work is cheap and off the shelf!
	3:44pm Webhamster Henry: Something like the Pendulum Harp that was built for Bjork's Biophilia tour would fit in with this show pretty well. www.youtube.com...

	3:58pm geezerette: Decades ago Carl Stone's girlfriend made a beautiful device of bamboo in which pebbles in a water-filled vessel were frozen in such a way that they fell randomly as the ice melted. As I recall, the stones fell into a pool of water and the sound was amplified in some way. The result was music that had the effect of setting you next to an imaginary mountain stream, meditative and lovely. I'm sure the specifics are hazy and partly incorrect but not the effect. Can't remember her name.
	🥁 4:02pm david w: Thanks, geez. Sounds lovely. Let's fine the name!
	4:03pm Webhamster Henry: @david - there are some Trimpin pieces here, but I don't know if they are just excepts (probably are) arts.mit.edu...

	🥁 4:07pm david w: Heya, ngh. Spadine often appears under the name Ashcan Orchestra (known for pieces with bells, lightbulbs, and hacked oscillators).
	4:10pm Webhamster Henry: This piece fits in well with with my dormant project Acoustic Modular Synthesis.
	4:11pm Webhamster Henry: The idea behind that is to standardize connectors and pressures and speeds so that acoustic "modules" can be connected together just like electronic ones.
	🥁 4:12pm david w: Well, wake that puppy up, Henry!
	4:13pm geezerette: David @4:02: uh...Mineko Grimmer! en.wikipedia.org...
