The best thing about AI art culture is how there are no problematic gender issues.

vet inte hur många här utöver @doktorzjivago som hänger på blurpan något.
men - skrev just detta där:

"en sak som är olika mellan blurp och dont är att någon på blurp älskar att få er att berätta allt om er själva. varenda gång jag kommit in här så, om det inte är selfies, är det att lista ditt och datt om er själva.

det sitter nån jävel någonstans och vet prick allt om er. på detaljnivå."

och det är SANT. om jag orkat hade jag fan kunnat ringa deras mammor och be om pengar.

I just wanted to help a friend degooglify their shared rehearsal room calendar, but it ended up with me getting nerd-sniped into building a smol, nice calendar for small collectives/friend circles. (/▽＼) It's a single php file you can drop in any webhost, then it walks you through first time setup and then it's up and running. It persists all data to an adjacent php file, so you can simply backup/transfer the calendar by moving the files between computers. We'll do a test-run with the shared rehearsal room, then I'll release it (copyleft). It's also mobile-friendly, has dark/light mode, only 5 lines of (optional) javascript :D, and I'm doing my best to get accessibility right from the get-go. I'm kinda excited, and highly amused what an easy nerd-sniping target I am. Yay! :D

A simple settings page for a calendar, allowing editing of title, weeks shown, start of week, editing users, adding users. Each user needs a key, name and permissions setting.

Did you know the Fediverse has it's own meta-genre of music - #BonkWave ? Today is an excellent day to check it out, as the latest compilation has just been released, over two discs:

https://bonkknobrecords.bandcamp.com/album/not-what-i-call-bonk-wave-volume-002-disc-a
https://bonkknobrecords.bandcamp.com/album/not-what-i-call-bonk-wave-volume-002-disc-b

• there are 29 tracks of brand new, original electronic music from (mostly) fediverse musicians.

[Disclaimer: I have some music on there. You can skip that, listen to the good stuff!]

A fun little version of a famous German Nikolaus song, made by a friend and myself. We made it for the annual Christmas calendar on a Swedish music forum. It's just for fun, not a properly produced track really but some of you might enjoy it to celebrate this day.

Three more days until my first live gig. I am not so nervous any more really, but I am bummed that I won't be able to do what I would have wanted to do (skills & access to technology + stage setup). Which is cool I guess, if you produce studio music it is to be expected that there have to be tradeoffs when taking things live. I'm actually writing my thesis on that, the interplay between composition, studio work and live performance. I think it's super interesting.

This is in Swedish, but I think it is of global interest. A climate activist who had blocked car traffic on a street in a protest action was found guilty as charged in court, but was released from penalty due to the danger of climate change and that he was acting against this threat. The court deemed it was impossible to impose charges, considering the threat of climate change. Win!

Hello everyone

#Introduction / #reintroduction

I am a composer/music producer/sound artist living in Sweden, with a background in maths, computing science and biotech (where I did my PhD). I work with electronic and digital instruments, field recordings, and vocals.

I enjoy working at the intersection of art and science. Not so much mere sonification but I think the scientific tools themselves are artistically under-explored. I am currently working on using electrophysiological processes from cultured cells for a twin composition for modular synthesizer and classic orchestra. I also do some kind of electroclash as Jaggedy, channeling the fringe side of electronic pop music history since my teenage in the early eighties.

This was a lot about music but I am quite obsessed. I used to be a useful idiot for ”green” or ”impact” capitalism so it is important to me to be completely useless for that system. I’m working on a Useless Manifesto. Perhaps I never finish it, which would be perfectly on point. I like weird things as a form of activism. She/her.
