  • electro-music festivalcollage-3

    For over a decade, people have gathered together to listen to and perform experimental electronic and electro-acoustic music, to swap gear and ideas, and to find like-minded life-long friends under the umbrella of electro-music.com. These gatherings have fostered an eclectic and diverse community of musicians and makers, improvisers and composers, amateurs and academics. The strangest thing about the electro-music community? That this might be the first time you’ve ever heard of it.

    For the past six years, the annual electro-music festival has been held in Huguenot, NY. As of the last day of 2016’s electro-music festival, the upstate New York days have been uploaded to the archive.

    ELECTRO MUSIC IS MOVING TO THE MIDWEST

    2017 will be the first e-m held in Indianapolis, Indiana. August 4-6 (instead of MEME, the Midwest Electro-Music Experience).
    The Irving Theater will host experimental musicians from the United States and all over the world.
    This year’s lineup includes but is not limited to 44 performances, 70+ musicians, and 5 video artists.

    Irvington is home to a variety of culinary options from handcrafted pizzas to Mexican seafood to caribbean cuisine.
    Additionally Sun King beer and nonalcoholic beverages will be available for purchase at the show.

Day one of polyphasic sleep cycle

2015-8-4

Day one of Everyperson (aka Puredoxyk or Everyman) polyphasic sleep cycle

Some folks have said they are interested in how my experience of the Everyperson cycle turns out. I’m posting my daily journal entries on the experience. Meeps is thrilled to have me awake for an additional three hours everyday.

Why am I changing my sleep cycle?
The motivation for trying the Everyperson polyphasic sleep is to reduce the pain I experience in the mornings from degenerative disc disease (DDD), get higher quality sleep in spite of my delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS) and gain three hours a day of awake time.
The longer I sleep the more DDD pain I experience when I wake up. This sleep schedule seems like a viable solution.
Assuming it doesn’t make me crazier 😜
Anecdotes I’ve read have shown people with DSPS often experience higher quality and more consistent sleep using this cycle.

Day One

OK, made it through the first day. Overall I’ve been alert, focused and productive all day. I have noticed some changes in my vision. I need my glasses more frequently. All day long my vision was the way it typically is at the end of the day when I’m tired. No changes in my eating, exercise or medication except for lowering my caffeine intake. Typically I drink a 12oz cup of coffee in the morning. Today I did not drink any coffee. I did have a some Dr. Pepper during the day.

I went to sleep at midnight and woke up at 3:30 AM. I’m a little tired but not particularly uncomfortable. I do have a bit of the “burning” sensation in my eyes that comes with lack of sleep. Most importantly I have no back pain.
I’ll take my first of three, twenty minute naps today at 7:10 AM.

Ugh, I made a timing mistake and got back from the gym an hour late so the first nap was at 8:10. I woke up feeling like absolute shit because I overslept a bit and went into a second REM cycle. Felt fine after 15 minutes.

Second nap at 12:10. No problem other then being groggy for the first few minutes after getting up.

Third nap at 5:10. Same experience as the previous nap.
