a 1-bit delay line? basically could be used to store audio-rate impulses, clocks, and triggers. the buffer would be a bitbuffer, so it would be a very memory-efficient. the notion of feedback some kind of feedback could be compelling too… #halfbakedideas #1bit

saw this great writeup once on how somebody visualized data by drawing faces with them, and letting our brain’s natural face feature-extraction algorithms interpret the data. Kinda want to try to do that with some of these samples and waveforms I’m curating. #halfbakedideas

This morning I had this really weird notion of building a generative podcast complete with musical interludes and asemic speech using a speech synthesizer. It’d be interesting to have “interviews” with two distinct vocal characters. #halfbakedideas

added @!(sndkitref “bezier”)!@ to !sndkit today. coupled with @!(sndkitref “oscf”)!@, it is capable of making some really weird wet FM-y sounds. Me like! #updates #sndkit

I think I got txtnish working better for me now. hopefully I’ll be able to reply/see replies now! #updates

@eli_oat@txt.eli.li happy to be an enabler :) I keep finding new uses for Janet as well! It has proven to be a remarkable extension language for !weewiki.

Hey @prologic@twtxt.net! still figuring out how to reply to people. I’m based in the New England in the US. What about you?

the c64 method would be an even cheaper video storage mechanism, but you wouldn’t get constant 2-bit color.

so, having the etudes be ~20mb/minute for sound AND video ain’t too bad, and that’s before doing any sort of compression. My etudes are almost always 80-120 seconds long, so the total size of a lossless uncompressed etude would be ~40mb, consistently. #halfbakedideas

sound for #breathingcard etudes in 44.1 kHz mono 32-bit floating point sound. that’s about ~10mb a minute raw uncompressed audio. #halfbakedideas

my #breathingcard etudes are 128x64 resolution videos with 4x zoom, that normally use no more than 4 colors (2-bits) using a 2-bit color storage format, that’s ~7mb a minute for raw uncompressed 60 fps video. not bad. #halfbakedideas

I’ve been thinking about storing the output of some of my audio-visual etudes in a more portable lossless 4-bit indexed color format, rather than rely on x264 directly. #halfbakedideas #etudes #breathingcards #longterm

well, I missed my one-year #twtxt anniversary by a few days. yay?
