Laurie Spiegel's Music Mouse, the Mac's first instrument, in Eventide reboot - CDM Create Digital Music It's 1986. Laurie Spiegel creates something unlike any software available at the time -- an "intelligent," algorithmic composer you can play as an instrument, for Mac, Amiga, and Atari ST. You're at N...

One of the great all-time landmarks of computer music is getting much-deserved preservation and recreation effort, with Laurie Spiegel herself teaming up with Eventide.

Here's some history, some gorgeous recent(!) uses of the software, and why this is insanely awesome.

In games, the UI *is the point*. It’s about interacting for the sake of interacting.

Still thinking about worker vs boss mentality about AI.

Universalism still going strong, all will be saved.

You can't even click on a cursor! They have played us for absolute fools.

Glad you made it to the meetup, and I very much enjoyed our conversation too!

Here it is — very happy to officially release the book that @marianoguerra.org and I have been working on for the past 2½ years.

If you bought it in early access, thanks for your support! 🙏

If you haven't bought it yet, please check it out!!

Great talk! I tend to do this intuitively, but I could never quite put my finger on why this seems to work so well.

In the primal soup, lifeforms emerge

The Ink team at Ink & Switch is starting something new — publishing our internal lab notes.

These are (mostly) unedited, with all our puzzling and musing and prototypes unfiltered.

An invitation into Droste's Lair A swords-and-sorcery programming environment for building and counting mathematical structures

@joshuahhh.com and I invite you to explore our experimental visual programming environment (which takes place in a dungeon)

Features
- dissolve the bounds of decision and explore all possibilities at once
- use sigillic incantations, delve into recursive caverns

We need a theory of what makes a *good* compositional system.

I've always wondered why IBIS didn't take off more. My feeling is that it's probably less a technical problem, and more a cultural one.

82SBI7 - An elderly man and his granddaughter sit quietly on a garden bench, observing the orderly movements of a robotic horticultural assistant. The machine, designed for precision farming, tends to the plants with mechanical efficiency.

X9BUAE - Among sharp cliffs and tarpits, the hands of a lone worker sift through the arid ground.

XT14ER - A cozy night, they seem unfazed by the stream of lights overhead. For them, it is ordinary.

8GPA45 - The night held the village in its palm. Across the sky, a ship moved like a blade through dark blue cloth.
