History of computer music keynote Computers were slow in the 1970s. Composers then started with a blank screen, without even instruments predefined. Oliveros said, &quot;you have to build your own instrument.&quot; Everything was new and exciting. Their computers were built for the military industrial complex. Special hardware for audio was needed. They were big and expensive machines. This is why FM was exciting - it was cheaper. DAC were also expensive and not made for music. But...

I won&#39;t lie, computer music feels kind of dystopian in general right now

A computer must never make a decision, therefore computers can never improvise.

The long shadow of acousmatic techniques chills us all.

Overly intellectualised shitposting is &quot;provocations&quot;

Guess what resource wikipedia wants to delete? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_electroacoustic_composers_of_color I can remove the deletion notice, but I should have something more constructive to say in the talk page than &quot;fuck off&quot;

Fmod is this cool music system for game design that&#39;s sort of both static and responsive. The composer creates themes and also composes transitional segments. So if your character is hanging out at a fun place they hear happy music, but if they move into a sad zone, the music becomes sad in a way that sounds composed and intentional. So as I&#39;m writing some stuff for busking organ, I realise that part of what I want is this kind of reactivity. Are we doing another loop around th...

This album is all based on the sounds of the ratchet, a percussion instrument that is also sometimes a children&#39;s toy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratchet_(instrument) It is wildly experimental and also surprisingly musical. Amirkhanian is a percussionist and his compositions are usually Text Sound Poetry. This album uses those techniques applied to a percussion instrument and some collaboration with other instrumentalists. It really shows that &#39;tape music&#39; techniqu...

Some disparate ideas that share a common thread: In &#39;The Queer Art of Failure&#39;, Halberstam advances a notion of queer forgetting as a way of interrupting the continual renewal of heteronormative power relations (including an implied break with intergenerational trauma). In his latest &#39;Doomsday Machines&#39; newsletter, Alex Wellserstein discusses a 1995 academic paper, &quot;A relevant and provocative argument from the sociology of nuclear technology can be foun...

I learned the word &quot;qualia&quot; yesterday and my first thought to synthesise that knowledge was (unfortunately?) &quot;something which cannot be experienced by an LLM&quot;

When I was a tween or young teen, there weren&#39;t very many kids online or on the BBSes I used to use, so I talked to people of all ages all the time and probably annoyed them occasionally, but it was fine. Eventually, my dad signed us up for something a bit more kid friendly/educational and we joined Prodigy. Holy shit Prodigy was infested with paedophiles. I think making something specifically for kids is a way bigger safeguarding concern than kids turning up to a thing not pitched at...
