saved this one from some net stranger’s garage rot oblivion today, looking forward to surfing thru old Macintosh repository for abandonware / music software. also just very ready to drown trying to ford the river in the Oregon Trail! lol. (Any music / game software recs are much appreciated).

Going to have my first live death metal experience with my son tomorrow. A Swiss band called Kassogtha, who seem a gentle easing into the genre for me.

Just deployed this early draft and programmed an audio graph on my phone

https://nnirror.xyz/web_patcher/

It's still got a lot of UX things to sort out. You create connections by first clicking an output button at the bottom of an object, and then clicking an input button at the top of another object. To patch sound out, connect to the speakers object. It's single channel audio for right now, might be hard-panned left. I’m working on getting multi-channel audio output and selectable audio devices

Any feedback or questions very welcome as I want to improve this over future iterations!

In 1943, the Nazis started a program for training high-school students in radar. Several of these students later worked on signal processing in the US, including Manfred Schroeder and Carl Kurth, both at Bell Labs (https://ethw.org/Oral-History:Alfred_Fettweis)

"tokinogake algomix23" is an algorithmically produced mix from 23 works made this year by artists in the Tokinogake collective.

I divided the works into 4 simultaneous, equally-long sequences in Live. I then used my "shhh" Max for Live device to select the loudest slice from the 4 sequences, with a new slice every 64.8 ms, independently in both stereo channels, for the entire mix.

@GuyBirkin, J. Soliday, and @a0n0 also created 2023 mixes from the same material, each with a unique algorithmic approach to mixing, creating sonic relatives in a family tree. All the mixes are available on the Tokinogake mixcloud.

For this project, contributions were encouraged to come from activity on the Tokinogake Discord server. I contributed "tokinogake logo in C & G" which is a tonal spectrogram generated with Facet using the Tokinogake logo PNG file.

I'm grateful to be a small part of this collective, spread across the globe, connected through shared artistic attitudes and interests.

Go have a listen: https://www.mixcloud.com/tokinogake/tokinogake-algomix23-nnirror/

I joined threads to promo my live stream set. The vibe is overwhelmingly oriented towards forced engagement with “controversial content”. I then posted about how terrible it is and my friend sent me this screencap from his IG recommendations 😂

_irage is a Max for Live audio effect device that exposes 50 delay lines on both stereo channels connected in an infinite ring.

It can produce stereo reverb, comb delays, flanges, multitap or discrete echoes, infinite feedback, partial or tuned overtones, resonations, distortions, noise washes, and chaotic sound modulations in different configurations.

The controls for shifting, drifting, diffusing, and converging the delay lines allow you to automatically change the matrix of delays in real time and move through impossible spaces at impossible speeds, with delay lines updatable up to every 1 ms.

26-line and 12-line versions are also included for computers with less CPU resources.

Available now: https://nnirror.gumroad.com/l/_irage

the _irage Max for Live device is running in the center of the screen, with a blurred-out copy behind it so that the video is square. The video demonstrates various system stats with the user interface updating in real time.

Data sonification is the WaLuigi of music. Its interpretation is fixed by where it’s derived from. It needs an explanation in order to exist. Inherent emotional resonance be damned.

Music is inherently abstract and open to interpretation. It shouldn’t need an explanation. It explains and justifies itself. QED

Currently trying to think up tracks to play between acts at an algorave. any ideas?

My son is learning the electric guitar and needs to decide what kind of guitar player he is. Any recommendations for different guitar (metal?) music he can listen to, to help decide?

Anyone with Pure Data development experience want to help build an abstraction so that Facet can do audio playback in PD?

It would require parsing UDP messages from Facet, loading audio buffers, and routing messages to 16 voices. The Max code itself that I want to fork is not terribly complicated, but I'm a complete PD noob and haven't been able to do it.

🎈✨ After 2.5 years of development, I'm excited to have released Facet v1.0.0! 🎉🎂

Facet is a live coding environment for algorithmic composition and synthesis.

With a code editor in the browser and a pair of NodeJS servers, it can generate, transform, and sequence audio, MIDI, and OSC data.

There are over 150 methods which can be combined in numerous ways to create unique DSP algorithms. These methods create and modify arrays of floating-point numbers which become lossless audio files or MIDI/OSC patterns.

In order to play back synthesized audio patterns, Facet uses a Max abstraction as a "receiver" for up to 4 channels of audio, and from Max it can go anywhere. The Max abstraction also pipes OSC out of its fifth outlet, making it possible to "live code" a prepared Max patch.

Also included in the repo are two Max for Live devices (stereo and 4 channel version), allowing you to send audio directly into Ableton Live tracks. With this setup, you can also create MIDI CC mappings to control Live device parameters.

If working with MIDI or OSC only, Facet can run as a standalone system, making it possible to run on a Raspberry Pi or computers with less CPU resources.

Facet runs on MacOS, Windows, and Linux.
