From those 59861 lines of code i resqued earlier today. From a time when i had no clue what i was doing…. (:

play{RecordBuf.ar(LFDNoise3.ar+PinkNoise.ar(8),a=LocalBuf(8*2048,1),loop:0);Splay.ar(LeakDC.ar(CombC.ar(Warp1.ar(1,a,f={LFDNoise3.kr(0.001!7).tan.abs},f*0.03,Array.series(4,1/7,1/7)*0.12,-1,4,0,4),0.4,0.4,2).softclip))}

#SuperCollider

Someone ought to write the definitive guide to the unsung syntactic voodoo of #SuperCollider. (I think I know who i am going to call next hehehehe).

just a the clap... sort of

Managed to resque 59861 lines of #SuperCollider code from my last crashed laptop. #yay

My robotics experiments are slowly but surely coming together. It’s a nice feeling. #supercollider #cpp #robotics

I started diving into the world of creating my own #supercollider extensions. I've also been exploring drum machine patterns, so here's something that makes that easier. Totally a proof of concept at this phase, and musically, I have no idea what I"m dong, but it's fun.

Finally got Common Music running on my machine (Mac) for SBCL/incudine. Not sure about the performance (lot of consing - which may be fine), but goddam it's fun.

So far got it to generate realtime MIDI, lilypond and SuperCollider. CSound is next. I may never emerge from my room.

Therapeutic droning in #SuperCollider

Every once in a while you have to roll up your sleeves and make manual volume curves, no matter how well you programmed your algorithmical synth... #musicProduction #reaper #supercollider

SuperCollider 7 – Scales and Degrees https://www.bit-101.com/blog/2023/09/supercollider-7-scales-and-degrees/

#supercollider

I just uploaded a track that's the closest thing I've done to an actual finished song. I honestly like it a lot. It's got some algorithmic stochasticness going on, but all based on solid chords so it fits together pretty well I think. Every synth and sequence was hand-coded in vanilla #supercollider . Some live orchestration going on during the recording to keep it somewhat interesting. I think I'm getting somewhere here.

What's on my mind? Thinking about how to further mess this snippet up:

play{ar(BPF,ar(o=SinOsc,(f=ar(q=QuadC,(m=ar(o,ar(q,2)**2*8))**m**m).exprange*148+12),ar(o,m**f*2,0,m*2pi)).sign,(m*m).exprange*5e3+(m*120))!2/2}

#SuperCollider.

Did some digging through my old #SuperCollider composition sketches today, hunting for large, complex synthdefs with lots of possibilities in them. I love the idea of taking all that sound design and throwing the right amount of randomness at it.

I worked backwards through this year and got about into late 2022. Haven't gone back farther than that and already found a handful of promising sounds.

Update on the future of my #Twitch channel[1]: Given my current health (surprise: still chronically ill), and given that I still don't know what my weekly schedule is going to look like in the coming months, my #livestreaming schedule for the coming months is going to be "I will stream whenever I have the spoons, ideas and undisturbed time to do so".

The topic will still be making music in #SuperCollider.

I had an amazing #creativecommute this morning, coding realistic string chords into a little guitar / banjo type song in #supercollider . People on the train probably wondering why I was smiling so much on the way to work.

I bought and am now half way through Scoring Sound. https://leanpub.com/ScoringSound Best written book on learning #supercollider I've run across. Pair's great with Eli Fieldsteel's video tutorials. https://www.youtube.com/@elifieldsteel - and I also look forward to Eli's book which I preordered.

I got Kubuntu installed and all set up quickly. Pipewire is the default. Still took some tweaking to get things going stably. I run #supercollider in neovim, so I need to be sure to start it with pipewire-jack. So I set an alias:

sc="pw-jack vim "

And that works well. I also got tired of going into audio settings to change the audio profile to "pro-audio". So I came up with this script I can toggle from a key combo.

Linux audio is still a pain in the ass, but I've mostly wrangled it for now.
