gormandizing : to eat greedily or ravenously
Most of the ducks in the park were going hungry thanks to the aggressive tactics of a gormandizing goose that pushed the mallards out of the way and snapped breadcrumbs out of the hands of children.
Stochastic Resonance is the third Caustic Reverie album and it has been released on last.fm. The songs were fractally composed with the help of FMusic and then stretched, chopped, spliced, and mangled into the shape they are now. Enjoy!
Dead man – “Rest in Peace”
Frantic Bleep – “…But a Memory”
Echo Us – “From Snow to Sea”
Magenta – “The Ballad of Samuel Layne”
Camel – “Rhayader”
Falconer – “Mountain Men”
Genesis – “Los Endos”
Sylvan – “The Last Embrace (Live)”
Spock’s Beard – “Climbing Up That Hill”
Moonbound – “Tired of Being Good”
Queensrÿche – “Blinded (Live in Tokyo)”
The third Caustic Reverie album will be called Stochastic Resonance and will contain five tracks. There’s a companion piece to Vespers called Compline, though I’m not sure if I want to do the whole Canonical Hours cycle at this point. I’m still working on the artwork and final mixes, but I should have it released early next week to last.fm.
galactophagist : milk drinker
Cookie Monster’s fame may have inspired a galactophagist puppet that never made it into production due to a lactose intolerant Muppeteer.

I usually end up messing around with fractals and other forms of organized chaos in a visual field, but this week I’ve started experimenting it with music. Through a last.fm group, I was exposed to the music of Tim Doyle, some of which were composed with the aid of a program called MusiNum.
I downloaded it to give it a try but it doesn’t seem to like the fact that I’m running a 64-bit operating system. I did have better luck with David H. Singer’s FMusic. I was initially opposed to algorithmic composition as a viable way to make art, but this is a good deal more complex than pressing two buttons to get a ragtime shuffle in DMaj. I’ve been getting into more spaced-out, minimal stuff lately, so this is a perfect fit.
One new song is finished but untitled, the other is still in the mixing phase.
nugiperous: given to inventing trifles
Irene was the scourge of the rest home’s cribbage tables; she laughed in the faces of those she had beaten, and when she herself lost, she was often nugiperous, blaming her plight on everything from wearing the wrong prescription eyeglasses to have a bad horoscope for the day.
