Personal infoAbout:
Sound artist exploring the human voice, simulacrum, and mechanisms for lyricism. These are some of my favorite things: vocal synthesis, generative music, Palestrina, audio DSP, baking, croissants, tea, dogs, grids, retrogaming, computer graphics, powers of 2, 1-bit art/sound. Over the years, I've developed several audio engines and music software ecosystems, and like to talk about them here. I also have a quieter account where I mainly talk about vocal synthesis: @patchlore

Can anyone help me find pokemon names that sound like speech physiology terms? This is important. Distilled thoughts on organized sound over the past year: Physiology -> Mechanism -> Vocabulary -> Physiology Week 8 at RC: singing drawing tablets, hacking the tic80 sound engine, NANDs, and more! https://pbat.ch/recurse/week08/ I am logging my time and knowledge acquisition during my time at the Recurse Center Summer 1 Batch! Check it out here: https://github.com/PaulBatchelor/Recurse Just finished making a very small gesture synthesis example in Konilo! [0] The Gesture sequence is written in uxntal, metaprogrammed from Konilo. The synthesis patch makes underlying calls to the sndkit API to build up a sound. It has a gesture-synthesizer-generator (GSG) which reads from the "hello" uxn subroutine created above and synthesizes a gesture controlling frequency. I figured out how to add my own sigils in Konilo, so now something like "%0.5" will push a constant value of 0.5 to the sndkit stack (I send it as a string, then internally it gets converted to a float value). This allows me to pass around floating point params even though konilo doesn't support them.  Fossil has "blame" *and* "praise" built into it, which I choose to believe is a reflection on the overall culture of the Fossil/SQLite team. git only has "blame", which I choose to believe is a reflection on the overall culture of the git/Linux Kernel team. @paul I feel you're onto something there. Not that I've really used fossil very much, but perhaps I should, it looks very nice. Dynamically stitched together a PDF of individually scanned pages using my zettelkasten. Very satisfying to view on my phone. So now the workflow looks pen/paper -> portable scanner -> zettelkasten -> PDF Right now I just tested it on reading notes, but I'm really excited to use this as a way to manage creative ideas. From a creative workflow perspective, I like this because all the creative thinking happens away from the computer. Lately I've found creative computing pursuits can benefit from a certain amount of detachment from the medium. Computers can sometimes get in the way of themselves. So, this is like a pen of sorts? It's like a metal quill. You stick an end into some fountain pen, and off you go. No, seriously. You can adjust the thickness. It also can bend and detach (I think it's supposed to be used with a compass?) It's really super at straight lines. Curves I'm getting used to. I'm in utter disbelief that this works at all. |
@paul I'm hooked after listening to some of these on loop.
How can I get your stack running? It seems like the pieces are:
sndkit -> mnolth -> SoundMantra
Am I missing anything?
I can't tell how to get sndkit from https://pbat.ch/wiki/sndkit. The other pieces I see the 'source' links for on their respective pages.
