https://cargo.site/Useful-Music I was looking into Cargo 1 (because I noticed that it was running the Alibi Studio page when I was looking at the Secret Sky Barn), and was curious about the tab that said Useful Music. There were a bunch of playlists, with a description that said “Subtle playlists for working-type activities." It turns out that it is just what it says, and I’m listening to it as I type this and I like it a lot....
Video shows two kinds of Kubisch’s work, both of which I think are really cool: one where she had people walk through a space she designed with headphones on that would pick up audio from the wires she had arranged, and the other where people wear those kind of headphones and just walk through a city to hear the electrical sounds of a city. It’s super super cool. More information at:...
I had come up with this idea “Spectra” for a series of songs based on the emission spectra of different elements and also light sources (see here for the original QuickNote, although the idea was in my notebook before that…), and as I was trying to figure out how to convert a waveform image to audio I found someone who had a similar idea and made something really cool: https://www.jiri-suchanek.net/en/project/atom-tone/...
OK so this is an idea I initially came up with while sitting through an ETC Representative’s promotional lecture in my DRAM 204 Lighting Class on December 22 2021. Here was my notebook page from that day: The idea is basically what is outlined there, but I’ll summarize it here because that handwriting is hard to read I suppose. The Idea: Take the emission spectra of a light source like a CFL or a normal lightbulb, or of an elment like hydrogen, and turn those representations of light into sound....
I started off with a page on Erbe-Verb, which (obviously) Erbe had created, and the more I looked the more I felt like I wanted to keep more information on his work around, so we’re making a Tom Erbe page. It’s the first biography page on this site! Related On BLIMPtwo: Erbe-Verb - An amazing reverb Erbe created. Spectra - The project I was working on that led me to finding out about Erbe in the first place....
OK so I was trying to make my rendition of “Spectra” (see this QuickNote for the idea I had and then this research page for Atom Tone for the work of someone with a similar idea, and then this page for the actual project), in PureData, and was trying to figure out how to add reverb. So I was trying to figure that out, and I first saw PD-Extended’s freeverb~, but PD-Extended is now abandoned, so I didn’t want to use that....
