core, and we mean absolutely core curriculum

An all time favorite getting a long awaited repress + first vinyl edition in the US!

Decided on a whim to put the app on sale for the next few days for cheap - $5.99. Great time to grab it if you’ve been waiting!

My dad shared this song with me on a mix tape in our faux wood-paneled Plymouth Voyager, road trip to Hershey Park-late 80s. First memory of knowing I was listening to a synthesizer. I was captivated by the deep bass plucks+ thought the track itself was called Deep Breakfast for the longest time.

The Adventures of Pete & Pete - Season 3, Episode 12: Das Bus

Solid choice! Wish we could have made it up to PA to see this one! Recently read the whole series to the kids.

Pan American and Shimmy Disc boss Kramer reconvene on a gorgeously languid sophomore album, a trip across the ocean floor tipped to fans of Harold Budd, Brian Eno, Stars of the Lid

The best Microsoft Songsmith mash-ups, from an age before generative AI - CDM Create Digital Music Wait - maybe that's the worst mash-ups. They're so bad they're good, though. Microsoft Research Songsmith, a 2009 automatic accompaniment software that worked with monophonic vocal input, was best kno...

Back in my day, we didn't have yer ChatGPT running inside Notepad inside Logic Pro for no good reason. Why we had Microsoft making mincemeat out of Metallica. Like someone stole Wesley Willis' backing tracks and stuck 128k MP3 a cappellas of James Hetfield on top.

It was 2009...

This dev update post did surprisingly well for some reason... Maybe it was the mention of midi control that caused the algorithm to boost it? Either way, please have a look at the app’s instagram page for some of the recent stuff I’ve been working on…. www.instagram.com/p/DJM9be6uZ5...

"If Annie Dillard wrote about data, it might sound something like this. In turns insightful, hilarious, techy and humane, Living in Data is an essential book for anyone who’s wondering how exactly we got into this data mess, and thinking about how we might dig ourselves out.” - Stewart Butterfield, CEO, Slack

Periodic reminder that

1. I wrote a book called Living in Data

2. It's pretty darned relevant at the moment

3. You can get it at your local bookshop or library

Thank you! 😊

Hard to believe it’s been 3 years since the Algorithmic Art Assembly. I had such an amazing time returning to San Francisco and seeing so many friends. Need to get back soon!

This new 3D lenticular print will be on display in exhibition "Bodies in Blotter" at Carnation Contemporary (Portland, OR), opening April 5th. This is a render, real documentation coming soon.

YouTube video by Tom Hall How to read a Max/MSP patch - Nobuyasu Sakonda's Granular Synthesis, Sugar Synth

Sakonda’s is the 🐐 — here’s a little homage to his Sugar Synth, and how you can leverage MaxMSP for incredible sounds without actually learning it 😳😉

Their tagline: “Chickens go in, ‘pies’ come out”

The Last Days of May – initially inspired by Australian guitarist Roland S. Howard – is @zsennef.bsky.social’a longest piece to date, a wistful work of sweet melancholy with the course and tempo of a dimming summer’s day, undercut by his trademark sleight of hand in intricate, decaying detail.

has anyone written about AI-assisted vibe coding? the loss of the flow state, the move away from mental modeling of computational processes, managerialization of the developer class, etc? it feels like a bellweather, but i’ve had trouble explaining to non-programmers.

New World, Lonely Ride, by Michael Grigoni * Pan•American from the album New World, Lonely Ride

The sublime lead off track from Michael Grigoni and @panamericanmusic.bsky.social 's new record is on repeat - a balm in the midst of unexpected change and a reminder of how music can penetrate through the chaos of anxiety and clarify the heart. panamerican.bandcamp.com/track/new-wo...

Have a great weekend, or best you can. Open a window and listen. Play one of your least favorite LPs, CDs, or tapes and decide if it's worth keeping. Pick up a favorite book and read a section at random out loud. See ya Monday — or maybe Tuesday.
