	Jon Appleton "Jon Appleton"	Pioneer of midcentury electronic music. He built the first digital synthesizer, the synclavier. Worked a lot with tape music, electroacoustic systems.

Listener comments!
	3:09am fred: Good morning Nat
	3:13am Nat: Yo Fred!
	3:13am wafflehaus: What is this?
	3:15am Nat: Oh you know some musick.
	3:17am wafflehaus: "This just isn't music." keep it up
	3:17am Nat: Thanks buddy
	3:30am fred: Puff Daddy is at his best when on the phone with Bjork. That would have fit in well with your first mix today.
	3:31am Chris: I've always been struck by how it's noticeably warmer at night around there due to all the lights in Times Square.
	3:36am Veronica: Great Max Neuhaus anecdote.
	3:39am fred: Nat, have you looked into soundscapes and soundmaps?
	3:40am Nat: Oohhhh, I'll have to find that Puff Daddy phone convo! One cool thing about the Max Neuhaus piece is that it was made back in the day, way before Times Square become this consumerist mecca. The experience of the piece is totally different now that when it was made.
	3:40am Nat: Not sure if I have, Fred. What do you mean in specific? I mean, I've listened to many soundscapes, but it sounds like you've got something specific in mind.
	3:42am Veronica: Oh wow, I didn't know that. I'm a huge fan of his work. Do you know when it was created for Times Square, by any chance?
	3:43am neil: no one said negativland. what? is there any escape?
	3:43am Nat: Decades ago, I'm sure you can find it easily online, but I'm busy at the moment...
	3:46am Veronica: Busy? You mean you're not just slacking off over there. ;-) Yeah, I thought to check online as soon as I asked. Sorry. It was created in 1977. Can't believe I've been to Times Square without even realizing it was there.
	3:47am fred: A soundmap is a digital map with sounds recorded from each area, you can build a virtual soundwalk from these. I think this principle begs to be abused.
	3:55am fred: Nat, re self-playing computers, you should take a look at this: http://robinmeier.net/?page_id=37
	3:58am Deepak: oh man, this sounds tasty
	3:59am i smoke spice: https://mog.com/m#album/55868049 http://baku-shad-do.bandcamp.com/album/xv-commotion
	4:03am Nat: Ah cool, are there any good examples of soundmaps that you know of? I'll check out that Robin Meier piece when I get off the air.
	4:07am Veronica: Here's a good list of soundmaps I was just checking out: http://www.jetstreaming.org/2011/12/21/sound-effects-and-space-soundmap-roundup/
	4:14am Deepak: she sounds a bit like Freddie Mercury behind all the noise
	4:18am Nat: Ah yea, slowing down the tracks does tend to make vocals pretty androgenous.
	4:21am slugluv1313: shoes and SADE . . . ahhhhhhhh! me likey :)
	5:02am Veronica: Loved that Jon Appleton piece you played...wild that he collaborated with Don Cherry.
	5:03am Nat: Ah yeah, I can play some of that CD in a bit!
	5:04am Veronica: Great!
	5:06am craigness: Haven't tuned into your show in a while Nat. Glad I did today though, it's been ace!
	5:07am Nat: Why thank u.
	5:16am neil: this is like that z'ev. shucks. sans vox. roll on nat!
	5:24am Veronica: What a groove
	5:39am i smoke spice: highly advanced
