I still like the punks

the talking heads albums that fall alphabetcially between fear of music and naked (so, also little creatures and more songs about buildings and food)

A janky frame for the prototype resonator all-in-one thing. It's unstable and I managed to measure the inner supports wrong so I'll have to cut new side panels... but I think I can reinforce it, and maybe instead of cutting new side panels I can just make some kind of patch around the existing ones... that's where the power supply, amplifier boards, and solenoid driver boards will attach, as well as the breakout connectors. Those connectors are great (tabs like on the back of a stereo) but also kind of a pain to attach to panels.

Testing a new sequencer for astrid. The pauses sound cool, but they are likely deadlocks. :-p from pippi import dsp, oscs, shapes, fx, tune import astrid def play(ctx): steps = [ [1,4,6,9], [3,5,7,8], [4,6,7,10], ] steps = steps[ctx.co...

This is a sketch of a new resonator / amplifier / power supply / computer all-in-one design. The poles are the size I can get at the hardware store. Inside, the black rectangle in the center is my old framework mainboard in a standalone case. The other smaller black rectan...

vital weekly is dead, long live vital weekly

This morning I'm considering just getting rid of the unit generator paradigm in astrid and libpippi altogether. Over the last few years I experimented with two approaches, recently deleting one of them. Both were set up to use one ugen abstraction / lifecycle, and named par...

The AI hype train (has it been over 10 years of this cycle now? exhausting) is like the world losing their shit over a new emoji picker. If someone can just add the right set of emojis, we'll have world peace. Using emoji makes people feel happy, so if we replace all communication with the right emoji we'll maximize happiness, clearly. Some kool-aid drinkers already correspond completely in emoji. Their messages are misunderstood and typically meaningless. Emojis can be fun. Emoji control is thought control.

Maybe instead of trying to make everything in my live rig as teeny tiny as possible, maybe now is the time to practice hauling as many cases, bags, etc as I can manage...
