It's Saturday because at this point in the week you are extremely saturated.

About this account

I'm a sound and digital artist, interested in installation and intermedia, improvisation and electronic/electroacoustic music. I develop a bunch of open source software.

I keep only one account, so the toots are a mix of sound/art focused things, random thoughts, and few rants (CW'd, and you don't need to share my opinion). I'm friendly/respectful 🍍 + aim to keep an open mind.

Account is locked (allow time to review), because I don't want bots and nazis to follow me. Thx 🌈

mur.at in Graz is offering a two month artist residency for netart and digital culture: https://mur.at/post/opencall-air21/

#Mellite v3.2.1 is out: https://sciss.de/mellite

As the '3' suggests, it's a major update, although most changes are structural and not visible to the user: They make Mellite ready for the next Scala version (3 - Dotty), and eventually for running workspaces in the browser (Scala.js).

It's nevertheless a great release for usability, as I have been polishing the DAW features. Improved timeline tools, audio cue export, transport-catch. I'll put up a video introducing the new features soon.

#Stamina is an ambient album I made in 2001: https://sciss.bandcamp.com/album/stamina-2

Voilà. #Residual (2002) is my first re-release on Bandcamp: https://sciss.bandcamp.com/album/residual

The #xCoAx 2021 - 9th Conference on #Computation, #Communication, #Aesthetics & X - #call for contributions is out now: https://xcoax.org/

xCoAx 2021 will probably be an online only edition again, and so all submissions must be ready for that, although at IEM/KUG we're making backup plans for some local activities in Graz if the development of the pandemic permits.

I did an experiment in 2015 in Scala.js for a PD-like web patch. Just looked at the old sources and updated them to work with current versions: https://www.sciss.de/temp/cord/

Just standard WebAudio objects used, though, no script-processor-nodes yet.
