Did I mention this amazingly well-researched mp3-netmusic-electronic-pop-mixtape by phlow?
It’s definitively worth a download! Especially for those 8bit-lovin people (though it’s neither 8bit nor 16bit). Oh, and I know that its not fall anymore, but it still works for spring!

Hard Data by R. Luke DuBois
Hard Data is a data-mining, sonification, and visualization project that uses statistics from the American military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq as source material for an interactive audiovisual composition based around an open-source “score” of events. Using Xenakis’ understanding of formalized music as a starting point, DuBois draws upon a variety of statistical data ranging from the visceral (civilian deaths, geospatial renderings of military actions) to the mundane (fiscal year budgets for the war) to generate a dataset that can be used for any number of audiovisual compositions. The intention of the project is to recontextualize the formal stochastic music in the context of real-world statistics, and to provide a compositional and metaphoric framework for creating an electroacoustic music relevant and significant to our time.

Today, I stumbled across this article that investigates into using sound as a transfer medium for digital information.
Though this is actually a very old and commonly used method for transferring files back in the 90s (we did this via tty telephone modems), it is kind-of pleasing to see this idea popping up again, and triggered some thoughts about it’s usefulness in cooperative livecoding situations.
Yes, it would be really fun not have to setup wireless LAN that invisibly and–for the audience–almost magically transfer information from one laptop to another, and, instead, having some sort of musical/non-aweful sound that transmit additional information from one laptop to another.
I wonder if anyone ever thought of this in the SuperCollider / LiveCoding community, but I think it’s worth!
On my daily walk to university. Yesterday it really felt like spring.
Added Python Interactive Mode to github.
Git seems to be a cool tool. It gets even better with the corresponding textmate bundle. Anyone knows which public host for git-repos to prefer? ATM I see github and gitourious.
Feedback welcome…
I hereby release TM_InteractivePython.
It is a TextMate Bundle implementing REPL for python. Feedback welcome.
A big thanx goes to technotales for explanation of REPL-modes for vim, and Renick for ponting me to REPL, and of course the SuperCollider community, which inspired me to look for such a way to get python REPL’y to work in TextMate.

A really good-written article on a visit of Fremer’s Listening Room.
I mention this slight—very slight, but noticeable—hiss to Fremer, and it’s probably a frequency that 50 plus years of rocking have eliminated from his spectrum. He doesn’t even care. This is when I start to understand.
