**10 years later, and “Wake Up” is still my ‘go to’ album from @psenough.

Relevant now, as it was a decade ago, these “sounds to awaken the world to a new tomorrow” still resonate, as - it seems - we collectively decided to stay in bed for a while longer.

So the evolution of my nick is as follows. I had a bicycle that had the word Zephyr written on it. Which means a western wind. That is related to the Greek god Zephyrus.

I liked words where X make a Z sound. And also had a bit of dyslexia so my firs IRC nick was Xypher swapping the y and e.. I would also use the forms Xypherius or just Xypheri.

Because its close hemming to Cypher I found the nick would get used by others.. Though that is not my origin.

Later I would sign websites I created as The X-Urban Underground (where X was short for Xypher) and that evolved to xuu. Pronounced like zoo.

@compudanzas@compudanzas.net I have no idea what that means, but it sounds exciting!

Sounds like a good plan. It is, of course, up to the Master Crafter. 😋

musical experience that involve harvesting, farming, growth, and caretaking of virtual musical creatures with personality. creatures would socialize with eachother and their interactions would change the overall musical sounds implicitely. #halfbakedideas

The immersive beats and the haunting vocals in “Silent Shout” by The Knife still sound like they came from the future even-though the song was released in 2006…

@!(sndkitref “glottis”)!@ is an analytical model that approximates the kind of sound the human glottis makes, and is now available as a sndkit model. This is extracted from the !voc project.

twt is better because I can pronounce it like twit, which sounds a bit like “twat”, which is an insult and therefore better.

making great progress getting interactive sound and video working on android. it’s a setup I wish I had 5 years ago.

@prologic@twtxt.net @anth Sounds like a good idea. The hash to conv/search url should stay local to a pod.

@prologic@twtxt.net sounds about right. I tend to try to build my own before pulling in libs. learn more that way. I was looking at using it as a way to build my twt mirroring idea. and testing the lex parser with a wide ranging corpus to find edge cases. (the pgp signed feeds for one)

On a related note, ‘hopwag’ sounds like a music genre

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

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

a microblogging creative coding platform like dwitter, but for sound. users would be encouraged to remix, the output of one persons code would become the input of the new code. only text would be stored on the server, with audio rendered client-side. to save on time, there could be caches of frozen audio for remixes. #halfbakedideas

The contact free delivery options sounds cool, let’s see if it works as well in practice

Huh?! I bombed myself! Allocating 1GB to gzip and send it to the evil bot didn’t sound too wrong. But I forgot that the script runs in parallel for each request… BOOM!

gameboy color speaker replaced using ds lite speaker. sounds quieter than I expected. but better than no sound at all. this, combined with the new case I got for it, makes it almost feel like a brand new device :)

listening richard devine’s new album sort/lave today. of course the sounds are top notch, but I really am enjoying how ‘composed’ it all feels. it really demonstrates true mastery of modular environments.

postcard sized art is such a lovely scale for the visual medium. attempting to imagine the sound/temporal version of that

Apparently the Peterson/Zizek debate went about as I expected: Peterson said nothing interesting, and Zizek said nothing on-topic. I’ll have to watch it later, because it sounds entertaining. https://www.currentaffairs.org/2019/04/live-commentary-on-the-zizek-peterson-debate

Brutalism And Music - Exploring Brutalist Architecture & Sound https://thespoonsterspouts.com/music/brutalism-and-music/

Don’t Be Afraid is a fantastic album, & it’s not hurt by the fact that every track other than Ozar Midrashim & The White Roses sounds the same – instead this is thematically appropriate.

Analogue Mega Sg Review: Sounds Like a Winner https://tedium.co/2019/03/26/analogue-mega-sg-review/

I fixed my now-year-long semi-intermittent sound problem, & the explanation is compellingly stupid: sometimes when ubuntu upgrades sound driver modules it doesn’t make the /dev/snd tree user-writable, & pulse runs as the logged-in user.

Responses to my essay ‘Tech’s Masturbatory Historiography’ make me think that most people reading it don’t know what ‘historiography’ means. (It’s exactly what it sounds like…)

Bad idea of the day: Rather than having a ‘madness’ mechanic, have a ‘stress’ mechanic that causes perceptual distortion (tunnel vision, increased color contrast, blurred vision, louder environmental sounds) & motor distortion (worse aim, movement delays)

For #NaNoGenMo I converted two of Stravinsky’s ballets to tone-poems by converting note frequencies to word frequencies. I dare somebody to do a dramatic reading of these; it’ll sound like an Underworld track: https://github.com/enkiv2/misc/blob/master/nanogenmo-2018/stravinsky.md https://github.com/enkiv2/misc/blob/master/nanogenmo-2018/stravinsky_pg.md

Slate is complaining that the witches in Suspiria (2018) aren’t scary. Has the author seen Suspiria (1977)? It’s a wonderful film but the scariest thing about it is the sound track.

In case you were wondering, indeed, Female Prisoner Scorpion is a MUCH better movie than the title makes it sound like. (It is exploitation, but it is ALSO surreal impressionistic gothic horror. Also, every frame of this damn movie is gorgeous.)
