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 🌈
Yuk Hui: “Instead of saying, #writing is an externalisation of memory, or the use of certain tools is a liberation of bodily organs, in this writing itself we find different relations, for example between human beingn and animals, human beings and non-human beings, a complexity of relations.” (for example pictorial vs phonetic writing)
Should I ever be implicated in a crime, I have an airtight alibi:
*me:* But officer, did you find any traces of hair from a grey British Shorthair cat?
*they:* ah, no, what are you trying say?
*me:* Look, couldn't have been me. There is literally not a square centimetre in my environment, my clothing etc., that doesn't have those fibres.

#np Torch Song - Don't Look Now (1984)
I'm getting closer to export function from Mellite to browser-based SoundProcesses (making it possible to run sound pieces in a browser) — I wonder if there was any *interest in a workshop* on this (perhaps in February or March)? You'd write DSP primarily in ScalaCollider, a SuperCollider dialect, not too difficult to learn I hope if you have prior experience with SC.
What would be good format for such workshop; should it be hosted at an institute? What platform would be good to run it? Ideas?

'web sound space'
We were discussing yesterday, whether to iterate a sound installation for 'browser format'. I think it's a radically different space (and would be an entirely new piece). Some thoughts:
- personal, intimate space
- noisy space ("between tabs", "between coffee and e-mail")
- framed space, poststamp space. who has their laptop wired up normally to a good sound system?
- volatile space (open a tab, close a tab, forgotten)
- radiophonic space (tending to your computer is not unlike listening to a radio receiver? also: "radio background"; remote connection)
- connected space (when going via a server vs. front-end only)?
- what's the source of time? does it start when you open the tab, does the piece "always exist" and you merely tune in?
- multiphonic space (there can be different tabs running)
- controlled space (mute / unmute)
...
- what else?
far-right conspiracy theorists and corona deniers on the fediverse
It's kind of interesting to see how the stuff is trickling down to "soft forms" and blurry boundaries, where it's mixed with general freespeech surveillance-paranoia, "critical thinking", "independent thinking" (oops, where does that RT link come from? never mind). it's also a particular quality of language use that is difficult to describe, but immediately noticable as a native German speaker. Seems the Querfront is a real thing
far-right conspiracy theorists and corona deniers on the fediverse
I just followed a couple of posts around their followers lists, it seems there is already quite a large network in the German speaking realm, running across several instances, probably under the radar of people who don't read German. Why don't these suckers stay on Gab?

Petition: Neues #Universitätsgesetz stoppen
Diese Novelle gefährdet unmittelbar meine eigene Existenz, da die neue Kettenvertragsregelung weder unterscheidet, ob ich in Drittmittelprojekten angestellt bin (nicht einmal die, die ich selbst eingeworben habe), noch auf Unterbrechungen der Anstellung Rücksicht nimmt. Nach dem Motto: Wir bekämpfen prekäre Verhältnisse, indem wir Euch einfach auf die Straße setzen.

I finally got to select and edit the sound recordings for documenting #Infiltration (along a selection of photos) https://www.researchcatalogue.net/view/711664/1042608
In spring we'll also do a printed catalogue.
And now #ScalaCollider can be used in the browser as well, talking to #SuperCollider: https://www.sciss.de/temp/scalacollider.js/ (needs Chrome/Chromium).
My favourite sound example: `example('walters')` 💙 . Make sure to run `cmdPeriod()` between examples, otherwise you'd accumulate the synths.
