Return to Zero 🔬 @sciss@octodon.social

There is a very long but also diverting interview (in German), in which I talk about #AI and experimenting with #algorithms:

http://mediathek.radiolotte.de/?p=2256

It was broadcast on Radio Lotte Weimar yesterday, and it's available in the media library for a week or two.

I immensely love these two records I discovered today thanks to @c307

- C307 - “R.-Cando” (1995) - https://archive.org/details/unsonhoinquedo2
- Carlos Suárez - “Metaforas do tempo” (2008) - https://archive.org/details/alg042

#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.
