Second showing of our Installation Folkwang UdK Rundgang this Weekend. Looks nice inside here!

Yesterday was the first day we presented this sound installation in public.

Since I work a lot with strange attractors, I used my Csound plugins to create attractor-based sounds wandering across this 4x4 loudspeaker matrix — producing clicky textures or dense, oscillating spectra.

I'm currently reflecting on that "computer music sucks" (Bob Ostertag) - especially its randomness. Between SuperCollider, Max, and Ableton, much of it sounds alike, shaped by the tools used.
So what is the true strength of computer music? What actually makes it compelling?

RIP Yasunao. Hugely influenced a whole generation. Amazing artist and one of the most gentle and charismatic humans I've known. No eulogy could ever do him justice but do yourself a favour: listen to his music, read his words—take in as much of him as you can. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uM_...

First time Airpressure on Organ pipes for me. Everything controlled by MIDI.

A ~2 minute impression of a harp piece i'm working on. Right now not really playable 😃 but quite enjoyable as MIDI harp piece.
I'm working with data created by strange attractors and organizing harmonic content with l-systems.

Wir versuchen den Faschismus zu besiegen - mit Diskussionen auf Social Media? Auf den Plattformen, deren Besitzer jetzt Trump & Co. zu unterstützen, auf denen Russland die AfD & Co. supportet und auf denen professionelle Propagandisten gegen uns arbeiten? Und wir wundern uns, warum es nicht klappt?

Vielleicht liegt die Abwehrhaltung einiger Menschen gegen den Faschismusbegriff darin begründet, dass damit vieles einhergeht, was schlichtweg unbequem ist. Die Einsicht, dass die normalen Spielregeln außer Kraft gesetzt werden. Angst vor der Zukunft. Und vor allem die Notwendigkeit zu handeln.

Int the last weeks i worked with a webdesigner on this website project. Some algorithms are generating fractal shape, which are creating fractal spectra. Sound is realized with (OG) Csound.

I'm still thinking how and where i should be active in social media. More and more i tend to think the Fediverse is a better solution then Bluesky / ATProtocol.

Recently I have developed an interest in outdated rack Synthesizer. Every time it‘s a pain to use them, but you‘re rewarded with very lores Sounds and cringe presets.

The next set from our last ‚stromspiesser‘ is up. Bold/Cowling played a not-so-chilled electronica set. Reminded me in a good way of boards of canada:

At our last 'Stromspiesser' concert, we had @airpopcrack.bsky.social as our guest. He played a furious set on his Serge Synthesizer, weaving in samples to create a clicky and bursty wall of sound. You can now enjoy it on our SoundCloud:

Trump und die Tech-Bros ziehen nun an einem Strang. Ihre libertär-faschistische Ideologie wirkt bis nach Europa und zieht dabei die hiesige „Mitte“ in ihren Bann.

@nataschastrobl.bsky.social hat eine Idee, wir uns diesem gefährlichen Sog entziehen können.
