I miss the internet I grew up with: neopets, club penguin, those online games in minijuegos (the free version of WoW, I was made to believe), forums dedicated to my favourite videogames (NDS Animal Crossing!) and rol forums on my favourite wizard and vampire books at the time

New on the Bela Gem campaign: a look at running AI models on Bela, featuring Augmented Instruments Lab PhD student @tpelinski.bsky.social who explains her pybela package for exchanging data between Bela and python notebooks: www.crowdsupply.com/bela/bela-ge...

giving a seminar today at 3pm CET at the Music Technology Group at @upf.edu, you can join on zoom 👩‍💻 ! I will talk about practice research and technical work – a digested version of my Journal of New Music Research paper www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Three posters in the Wed. 13:30 session: "pybela: a Python library to interface scientific and physical computing" by @tpelinski.bsky.social (with Giulio Moro) shows a new open-source tool for data streaming between Bela and interactive python notebooks. Try it here! github.com/BelaPlatform...

been enjoying reading Dune by Frank Herbert:

'Once men [sic] turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men [sic] with machines to enslave them.'
'"Thou shall not make a machine in the likeness of a man's [sic] mind."'

Final three videos from the 2024 #EmbeddingAlgorithms workshop. 3: the closing performance by @adampultz.bsky.social on Feedback Actuated Acoustic Bass (FAAB) and @tpelinski.bsky.social on modular synth and machine learning models youtu.be/ZzpQMrLqcG0 #supercollider #bela #belaplatform #modularsynth

I got a paper accepted at NIME 2025! it's about pybela github.com/BelaPlatform... , a project I've been working on for two years now and that I'm very proud about. you can read the paper here >> teresapelinski.com/documents/20...
I will be presenting it Canberra, Australia in late June! 🌏🇦🇺

come to the next Augmented Instruments Lab Concert!! tickets are free, lab members are showing some of their latest artefacts

My application to join the AI Performance Playground for SÓNAR+D 2025 has been successful!! There's a showcase on Saturday 15th June at SónarÀgora if you're at Sónar and interested in the project!

PhD opportunity: I'm recruiting a PhD student in digital musical instrument design at Imperial College London. Applications now, start date in the autumn. Funding is limited to UK home students. More topic details to follow. Interested? Email me with a CV! [email protected]

happy international day of women and girls in science, technology, engineering and maths -- i only had 1 woman lecturer in my whole undergrad + master's degrees (5 years, physics & computer science) -- parity is also about representation, you want to study something you can feel part of

Drawing on traditions of artistic research and first-person research methods, Teresa develops the idea of "technical practice research": design- or engineering-related activities in an arts context, where the locus of knowledge production is in the doing and not just in the final result.

In the paper, we examine digital musical instrument design using ideas from STS, especially Pickering's "mangle of practice". The post-hoc stories found in research papers are often much tidier than how the design work really unfolded.

Another new Augmented Instruments Lab paper for 2025: "Ways of knowing, ways of writing: technical practice research in new musical instrument design" by @tpelinski.bsky.social, Rebecca Fiebrink and me, just out in JNMR: www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1...
