"accountability gap" oooh. I like that term. That really seems at the root of a lot of problems.

I use OSC quite a bit for building experimental musical instruments and controllers. I use it because it is so simple to implement with low cost ESP32 or ESP8266 controllers, and can also quickly build GUI interfaces using TouchOSC. The pro

Collection and recycling these safely at scale seems mind boggling difficult. Various batteries, electronics, resin encrusted elements, oils, plastics, and mouthy guckiness. I would love to see how this process works. Banning them seems to

I've never minded paying more at Adafruit to help support them. The support they have provided, with documentation, examples, libraries, etc. has been immensely valuable to my hobbies and work.

I really like this, but moving around a bit I find that things kind of seem to rotate which is disorienting. When this loads, the photo is to the right of the cake. After zipping around a bit in this space, the photo is then to the left of

One of my favourite albums is Stuart Dempster's Underground Overlays From The Cistern Chapel. A group of trombonists all playing in a giant underground water tank with incredibly long reverb. https://youtube.com/watch?v

I'm just going to mention Pure Data here, because I'm always surprised when people don't know about it. https://puredata.info/ I use it in my art and music practice to interface with hardware like a GameTrak

If you build something and put it on the internet and have it doing it's thing by default then yes you need to be responsible for the consequences of releasing that. That's moral rights, and law needs to keep that intact. Shoving

Yup, I've seen some of their stuff. They mostly make conventional music with unconventional instruments which is cute but doesn't quite interest me. I prefer music that is a bit more experimental and works with the texture of the

Thanks! I have some albums that were made using the electroduochord. This one was created autonomously using a feedback algorithm controlling the speed of the rotary magnetic bow. https://stefanpowell.bandcamp.com/album&#x2F

I build weird experimental instruments and then play them at the local electronic music open mic nights. My main instrument is the electroduochord, a stereo two-stringed instrument played with a drone motor rotary magnetic bow. https:&#x2F

I like this idea of building your own software to run your own business rather than trying to sell software. My wife and I run a small chain of second-hand clothing stores that buy from the public, and we run it on our own custom software b
