Really enjoyed your episode on the crypto crash @adamconover ! Also reminded me of this livestream outtake which manages to succinctly summarize the whole crypto scene in 1 minute flat: youtube.com/watch?v=CpR2kMxy…

It’s not often I get angry reading an album review, but reading Pitchfork’s misunderstanding of a review for OPN’s Again is one such instance.

Great to hear the instrumental version of one of my all-time favourite @rolotomassiband tracks: Prescience!

Would have thought the chords coming in at the 3:45 mark would sound a bit weaker in the instrumental version, but it hit surprisingly hard - great work!

Since embedding art in QR codes is a thing, you could probably do something similar with song titles and download codes - Autechre track titles could work well with this.

Presenting: The crudest possible visualization of audio transients. I imagine this is what you would get if you combined Sound Forge 6 with Terry Cavanagh's VVVVVV.

Looking slightly better now. Anyways, thought it'd be fun to add SVG export to my beatshuffler so that it's easier to see what's going on with the generated output.

The cover for my new album (dropping tomorrow) was created using #processing. Getting the geometry into workable shape was the most time consuming aspect. I ended up creating a super-primitive 3D editor of sorts to get the final shape.

Currently working on a new auto beatshuffler-thing and after I've gotten the basic random shuffle algorithms out of the way, I'm struck by how much the results improve just by targeting basic metrics like transient duration to control the reshuffling instead of just randomness.

I'm working on a custom web-based editor for v2 of Mutateful. This will provide a much better visual context when editing formulas, and opens for help/command reference info to be shown directly in the editor, among other things.

Experimenting with cover ideas for my next album (written using #proce55ing and Kotlin instead of Java)
Replying to @JonArildEriksen
@JonArildEriksen aka Spiny Norman just released a new album titled Cosmic River. It feels hypnotic, dreamy, majestic and energetic in equal measure. Give it a listen! open.spotify.com/album/6yvaS…

Sandwiched right in the middle of the album, Celestial Transformation conjures imagery of a therapy session of some kind dissolving into an arena battle that sees two players facing off against each other on C64 computers.

Apparently you can now copy the device chain for a group track in @Ableton Live without needing to drag in the whole group first. Can't remember seeing this before, but it really helped me today when setting up a mix session for a track I'm working on. Great stuff!
