Vandaag is Dag vd Componist, in NL. Een initiatief van @newmusicnow.bsky.social. Maastricht heeft een mooi programma, zie introinsitu.nl. Mijn nieuwe stuk 'Panpsychism' wordt uitgevoerd tijdens het 'Plugged' concert in @centreceramique.bsky.social. Uitgevoerd door Ensemble 88 en LAPS Ensemble.

The SDK has only just been released, but there are already some excellent Ableton Extensions to try right away. And if you were wondering if someone would build a central repository, a la maxforlive.com? Indeed they have. Resource round-up:

Very interesting test of USB chargers.

Track I made with the amazing Anthony Seeha, back in the day.

OMG, a festival of musicians using the handheld M8 device. Wish I could experience this.

Musician friends, which music streaming distributor can be used for classic music — incl. Apple Classical — and is one-time payment? (CD Baby stopped supporting Apple Classical. I’m not a fan of CD Baby anyway)

Was lovely to visit @sickhouse-nl.bsky.social a while a go. Go check them out if you can!

Zebra 3 – ArpeggiosEven though Zebra 3 doesn't have a dedicated arpeggiator yet, you can create arpeggio-like performances!

Zebralette 3 is a free (yes, FREE!) single oscillator plucked from the mothership and embedded within a minimal synth environment: ADSR and MSEG envelopes, two LFOs, modulation matrix, delay and reverb effects... u-he.com/products/fre...

A vital set of talks on the meaning of sound, technology for accessing it, and planning for the future of freesound -- including coping with the age of AI. Happy 20th, freesound. The internet will never die. @mtg-upf.bsky.social h/t @rutgermuller.nl

Today is Freesound Day. 🌟 With a great programme, to visit or stream. The event includes a talk about some of the inspirations behind Soundsystem for Silence, the immersive installation I co-create with Ricky van Broekhoven and Nikolai Gillissen (Myubio collective).

"This allows you to, for example, render to many displays whilst simultaneously controlling a grid of robots and with nano second accuracy from a nuc or raspberry pi; or create tiny embedded devices that handle everything, from audio, to rendering to custom circuits." Let's explain:

Some of the types of (non-) AI according to AI.

"Just load a folder of sounds, trigger a MIDI note, and hear layers unfold in unpredictable ways." Absolutely crazy sounding Max for Live device by YRAKI.

People who use gmail, have you considered switching to proton?

If you can, stop using non-stick pans. PFAS is absolutely horrible stuff. So much is clear now. Better pans also last practically forever, as opposed to planned obsolescence.

Looking for #NoiseCancelling advice. 90% of the time I'm happy with the ANC of Airpods Pro G2. But, sometimes, when I need to work in for example a very noise café, I want to really strongly dampen all the voices and background music. Would #InEarMonitors be a good option? Other recommendations?

Was just reminded of this documentary. It left me stunned and moved me. Truly amazing. What can #AI do for culture? #PhilosophyOfCreativity m.youtube.com/watch?v=WXuK...

Anybody who does something with #sounddesign, #audioediting, etc. (video too) should install FFMPEG and get the commands from an LLM (I use ChatGPT). Incredible secret weapon that has saved me so much tedious work.

A polysynth that starts with data, text, images - and a bunch of other tools in Manifest Audio's Sonification Tools. Everything in v2, why to get started, and why you might want to do this:

Some people create problems just to get praise for their solutions. Other people prevent problems and don’t get any credit for that, as the problems remain intangible.

Ik had zondag j.l. wél nog een X-Ray #Concertzender voor u, daar had ik mijn stem niet voor nodig. Hoor Die Wilde Jagd & Metropole Orkest met Lux Tenera; A Rite To Joy, in opdracht voor het @roadburnfest.bsky.social van vorig jaar. #XRay www.concertzender.nl/programma/xr...

Excellent video

Freesound 2024 in numbers: "...appeared which were not common (e.g. soundtrack, industrial, underground, dark, loopable). The usual suspects are still relevant (e.g. field-recording, ambient, drum, synth), but their relative size has been diminished." -Frederic Font via blog.freesound.org?p=2141
