Listener comments!
	3:01pm steveo: hello! no cuts, no loops, no overdubs -- not a single luxury!
	🥁 3:01pm david w: ha! hey steveo!
	3:03pm Stanley: Eek! The Mouse Boys!
	🥁 3:08pm david w: The reminder of this show is mouse free, except for my crummy typing.
	🥁 3:08pm chresti: Hidee hi!
	🥁 3:11pm chresti: I really don't understand chords
	3:11pm steveo: surprisingly musical
	3:12pm Webhamster Henry: So when I was at college in 1974, there was a guy in my class, Phil Crevier, who wrote a little program to print all possible combinations of the 12 tone scale, called Sadist Factory, and he played it in relays on the organ for 3 days.
	🥁 3:12pm david w: chresti, hi! anything with more than one note is a chord.
	3:12pm Sem: OK, ready for the Chord Calatogue. Hello, David, Ruth, the Ridgewood cadre, and all.
	🥁 3:14pm david w: Welcome Sem, And Henry... but Tom Johnson does it in two hours, what's the dif do you imagine?
	3:15pm steveo: @henry: wacky-parsed as "Phil Clavier"
	🥁 3:16pm chresti: that's as far as my understanding goes-I may play chords without awareness of their identity
	🥁 3:18pm david w: @chresti: as long as your time is good, the notes take a back seat!
	🥁 3:18pm chresti: that's a lot of 5 note chords!
	3:19pm Webhamster Henry: He had done that the year before though. If you like chord catalogues, Warren Burt has a similar piece: Why Don't Jazzpersons Use These Chords? which is all just intervals.
	🥁 3:21pm chresti: jazzpersons! ha!
	3:24pm Webhamster Henry: Also, my iOs app Enumero is about counting, and it can go through all possible permutations of, in its case, a diatonic scale.
	3:24pm steveo: here is a pdf that johnson made of some of the chords, showing the pattern written out in musical notation www.editions75.com...
	🥁 3:25pm david w: Poor Tom had to do it by hand. You ca look at his chart and notes here: roulette.org...

	3:31pm steveo: same, but no ice in your beverage, please
	3:37pm Webhamster Henry: Read this story about this piece: www.poetryfoundation.org...
	🥁 3:42pm david w: Wow on that link. I had no idea...
	3:44pm still b/p: Mashup with Elizabeth Clair Prophet calls and invocations in tongues would be nice. Though can't say if Ashley would think so.
	🥁 3:46pm david w: Nice. Ashley did benefit from numerous collaborations, so, maybe.
	4:04pm Sem: @Webhmster Henry at 3:37: thanks for the link. What a story.

	4:20pm Rich in Washington: That Elizabeth Claire Prophet would go well with this chord catalog, as well.
	4:21pm steveo: annaka rennina annaka rennina
	🥁 4:23pm david w: Hey, Rich! Everybody is doing research today and dreaming up angles. That's what all these pieces are meant to stimulate, I believe.
	🥁 4:27pm chresti: www.undergroundfilmjournal.com...
	🥁 4:29pm chresti: animation for echoes bats and men
	🥁 4:40pm david w: Thanks to chresti and Rich for info and art about echolocation. I'm very curious about both of these.
	4:43pm northguineahills: I saw Gordon Mumma twice in the 20 noughts, I'd love to see him in 73 (i wasn't born yet, so, I might need a time machine, but this will do now)>
	🥁 4:47pm david w: All of the Sonic Arts Union cats (except Ashley who passed) are now in their 80s so... its a thing.
	4:53pm Mary Wing: I just saw the auction items downstairs, they are AMAZING!
	🥁 4:55pm chresti: Thanks david!
	🥁 4:55pm david w: Mary Wing is next! Kenzo is lost in space!
	4:56pm Sem: Been a mind-altering listen this PM. Thank you, one and all. See you later.
