Thinking of the people in Iran trapped between a lethal authoritarian regime on the ground and a genocidal regime in the sky. Seeking some refuge from doomscrolling in these beautiful pieces.

is probably the most evil tech company in the world, which, among other things, powers the ICE abductions of members of our communities. I can go on and on. I have zero good things to say about them. If I hated OpenAI more than Google, I hate Anthropic more than OpenAI.

Bernard Parmegiani's "De Natura Sonorum" from 1975 on the Acousmonium for which it was composed. Woah.

Spent a few hours at Sonic Acts: saw some great installations by Femke Herregraven, Sébastien Robert, Emiljia Škarnulytė and Almagul Menlibayeva amongst others, and had the privilege to hear Jana Winderen and others, but especially

Finished also the software for the much needed oven controller and it all seems to work as expected. Next step will be to finish building that oven...

Finally got around to finishing the hardware of this much needed oven controller. Tomorrow I hope to finish the software and if the fuses arrive I can even test...

Nice surprise that the most recent analog computing application note by the esteemed Bernd Ulmann features the chaotic system that I used to generate the images of my film #59...

Action shot during the rich and stimulating tanbur and makam workshop with Murat Aydemir last weekend in Cologne. Looking forward to the concert in Bozar (Brussels) tonight with Murat Aydemir, Derya Turkan, Christos Barbas and Tristan Driessen.

Second day of another very intensive and enriching tanbur and makamworkshop by Murat Aydemir, this time in Cologne (with the carnaval raging outside).

Being into real artificial crystals now - not virtual - I really should reread it.

Twenty years ago, when I was making my film #37, I read (most of) this fantastic book and it was very influential. Hélène Metzger wrote it in 1918, and I am not sure there is another book that goes as deeply (and respectfully) into the intellectual history of crystals.

I still do not understand why everybody now seems to think that short book titles are better.

This şarkı in makam hüseyni ("
Seyr ederken sebz-i sahn-ı gülşeni"), by the Armenian-Ottoman composer, singer, tanbur player Nikoğos Ağa Taşcıyan (1836 - 1885), is just delightful and I wonder why it is not played more often.

Not the first time I'm late to a party, but those texts by Derrida from the early 1970s are really great.

So far in this research project I have not produced any images or texts of note, but I did build a number of niche power supplies and thermostats. (This one is getting there).

Somehow I didn't expect a 1907 book by Otto Lehmann on liquid crystals to have plenty of small and beautiful colour images.
