step by step making some of my old webpages responsive and slightly rewrite texts for more clarity. It is nice to have such an archive of things. done today: Atlantic Waves, a network performance from 2001. roberthenke.com/concerts/atl...

I made a M4L plugin for Ableton Live 12, mainly for my own needs, perhaps others find it useful, too. roberthenke.com/technology/s...

Congratulations to LaserAnimation Sollinger for 40 years of building the most advanced graphics lasers in the world. None of my installations and performances would be possible without your technology - and without your generosity, too. Video from 'Fragile Territories' (2011)

Amazing read as usual. Thank you so much once again for sharing these in-depth insights into this fascinating world. This is extremely inspirational.

dramatic development unfolding: newly ordered battery holder is too big. briefly considered the option of a dirty hack, but have seen machines 'serviced' like that before and decided against it. ordered correct ones now.

like the one in the DRP 20. But I came prepared with my Hakko desoldering tool and a new battery holder. Next replacement in 20? years should be easier :-)

The questionable joy of collecting old hardware: had great fun yesterday making new reverb presets with my mighty Dynacord DRP 20 reverb, just to learn today that they are all gone - the memory battery needs to be replaced. Meeeh :-( At least the unit is easy to service.

Monolake :: Gravity (Reissue) (Field) β€” First vinyl pressing Monolake explore the earth and the heavens as well as man’s place in them, their soundtrack being sculpted with daring simplicity to achieve complexity and intricacy of expression and form.

look at this crooked punk mocking American laws. this guy's government is best known for human rights abuses and death squads. and now he says he has no control over the prison.

James Turrell: At One, Le Bourget, October 14, 2024–Summer 2025 Find out more about the current exhibition James Turrell: At One at Le Bourget. Installation views, works, editorial content, press, and more.

If you are in Paris - go there! I left the exhibition with a big smile on my face and tons of new ideas. James Turrell is amazing, and the works shown are fantastic. Totally blown away once again.

in all that evil madness, a photo that makes me happy. My Quantec QRS, working again. What a beautiful piece of German engineering this is.

Thank you fortune cookie. That helps when reading the news. Just not sure about the second line.

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.
