Happy to be taking part in the online "After AI" symposium with @anu1905 on the 17th May, talking about "Algorithmic Patterns after AI" https://afteraisymposium.com/symposium-program#WMQ8490mh8PyRvGR

This week's Komoy Dispatch /// featuring: things I have learned following @yaxu 's recent output, possibly stumbling into a new music composition dialectic, rotating patterns, max and strudel ... ---> https://knru.polin.ski/tide-coming-in/

@polinski Lovely stuff! Do you pass by Sheffield much these days? Would be great to have you play at a @patternclubsheffield !

@polinski @patternclubsheffield Ah great, we're doing one in the sidney+matilda basement on the 21st June if that's any good?

@polinski @patternclubsheffield anything 'patterny' really! we've had instrumental minimal music, algorithmic choreography, mechnical turntablism as well as live coding so far. I'm sure anything you'd want to do would fit !

Are there any music interfaces that work like weaving? Instead of threads, streams of notes/data... somehow. Maybe something that @yaxu or @neauoire know something about? I made a quick GIF-sketch just to try the idea...

GIF-animation of a music interface inspired by weaving. Note sequences on the horizontal warp and octave/trigger sequences on the horizontal weft.

@goto80 @neauoire Tim Ingold did a sort of woven sound: http://igor.gold.ac.uk/~mas01tb/WovenSound/wovensound.html
I experimented with tabby/plain weave a bit: https://penelope.hypotheses.org/187

@goto80 lovely! It'd be interesting what happens with other woven structures, like twill (e.g. denim) and satin

The talk+workshop schedule is looking excellent
https://www.emfcamp.org/schedule/2024
Happy to have a performance proposal accepted, which will feature some "auto live coding" (as in, live coding myself)

Next time someone calls themselves a 'futurist', maybe read the futurist manifesto they're alluding to..
"We will glorify war—the world’s only hygiene—militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of freedom-bringers, beautiful ideas worth dying for, and scorn for woman.
We will destroy the museums, libraries, academies of every kind, will fight moralism, feminism, every opportunistic or utilitarian cowardice."

Btw the techno-optimist manifesto quotes and references Marinetti who wrote both the futurist and fascist manifestos

@yaxu@post.lurk.org avatar

@luka yes very different context to italian fascism I think !

yaxu,
@yaxu@post.lurk.org avatar

@cdamian yes I'm a big fan of all these things!

yaxu,
@yaxu@post.lurk.org avatar

@jarkman that's all fine, thinking about the future is a good thing to do, but they very often uncritically reference Italian fascists

@jtruk @emf @FieldFX I will definitely be doing that!

I have two tickets for @emf which unfortunately I can't use. I'm happy to give them for free to a friend, or at face value to a trustworthy-seeming stranger. Any takers?

yaxu,
@yaxu@post.lurk.org avatar

@robinhouston @emf I'd pay for one!

I'm also from Coleford and went to the same school as Olly Alexander (ok 15 years earlier).
It'd be nice if they put on an algorave at studio cinema in my honour but I'm not holding my breath

"Future London" seem super dodgy, far-right andreessen-style techno-optimist/accelerationist bollocks.. and somehow hosting mainstream tech events. https://futurelondon.org/

@yaxu@post.lurk.org avatar

@lesynthetiseur Oh wow thanks I really needed some wonky jungle in my day !

yaxu,
@yaxu@post.lurk.org avatar

@synte Yep it's super regressive, the techno-optimist manifesto quotes old school Italian futurists/fascists, and the organiser of future london is in favour of cancelling NHS in order to fund HS2..

yaxu,
@yaxu@post.lurk.org avatar

@lesynthetiseur Thanks for the tip! I believe Future Sound of London are not implicated either.

@lesynthetiseur Also no known link to Future Loop Foundation
