*dancing around this cute little setup*
I bought a wind up toy during lunchtime yesterday and converted it to take Triggers 😀 and it has such a nice slap/snare character!

Applied physics 101 - so now I have a much more controlled and accurate striking method. Fun to use things from around the house like these tiny ice cream spoons we saved from somewhere!

If this works out I will have the time of my life with my #MidiController soon.
Heavy WIP in #blender with the DJtechtools midifigther and my cute #rat rig.
What is this sorcery?! New microtonal timetraveling psychedlic rock duo just dropped?!
Angine de Poitrine - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)
Resurfaced some fun product renderings i did at denkwerk in 2015.
The thinx team came up with idea of a cigarette shaped fidget toy – so you can sneakily have a timed smoke break without the nicotine. And other downsides.
I helped modelling rendering and compositing so It looked like a product one could buy. Never took off, but I still like the renderings a lot!
Ten years ago already, cycles was still kind of fresh around then!

I did some small improvements and fixes on the circuit drifter.
- v1.1 now works on main cables, no more warnings
- I annotated even more nodes and branches
- There is a neat faked ambient occlusion effect
- I added the model of cute lil RC car I had 30 years ago
Play it here:

Patch064 - Simple Physics Solenoids and contact microphones
I just published the little "Circuit Drifter", an excercise in using #CablesGL for a full game loop and handling rapier physics with user input.
Right now gameplay only works on desktop, if you open it on mobile a very dumb auto-pilot will control the car for you.

Turns out it was not that much manual work required to get everything over to #cablesGL and hook the encoder LEDs up to dynamic values!

I just put a ton of OLD projects on my website. Collected under „interactiveSpaces“ you find AR, VR, installations and VJ sets.

Curious what you think. Its sadly very hard to get footage from some of these.
Replying to
@vacuumbeef@layer8.space Yeah, I'm currently building a tiny tube system to extend that idea a little further.
Replying to
@PaulMc@mastodon.art So many things to learn with these pyhsical experiments. I want to tape up the unwanted notes to use a distinct scale... a bit of a cacophony at the moment.
And yeah, YT embedds work. But they deploy a new more invasive tracking... so be aware to always remove anything after and including the questionmark "?" in the URLs...

As in having another (more unified) way to interact with these softwares would be AMAZING
Replying to
@petrikas@mastodon.art Thank you!
I'm missing a bit more fine control. In a way that pressing left or right won't instantly move the car. In other tools like unity or godot I would probably have that already. But with all visual programmig things sometimes get more tricky than usual (for me).

@laamaa@mementomori.social Holy shit this sounds so good. Puttin this on repeat for a while!

@oleksiy@sonomu.club EDIT:
Oh sorry I read the other replies; you’re looking for a tried and true project to build and use. Sorry for not reading all that first!
ORIGINAL TOOT:
even I was able to build something tiny like that.
Midi over USB only controllers are super easy to build nowadays!
This would definitely need more modifications and a board with more IO for something simple and powerful. Thinking of:
5 faders (speed,volume,A/B)
6 pots with half way indentation (EQ)
2 really large pots for filter movement
2 pots for effects
4 arcade buttons (cue/play)
And two encoders for trac selection (?!)

@paulmc I just hope that I can accomplish what I have in mind for this. But even the artifacts in between are fun so it’s all good.

@grahamdunning I’m already showing the videos to everyone I know, if they are into DIY, music, techno or nothing of the above. Congratulations! Do you still have to defend the thesis, or is that over, too?
Replying to
@osm_tech hey @emanuelmaiberg this sounds interesting and might add yet another part to your reporting on museums and others being scraped.
Replying to
@osm_tech this sounds right up 404 medias alley.
They all have contacts and have reported on museums and Wikipedia having similar issues.

Looking and listening to all this, I'll be soon sitting on a very large pile of smiple but weird music. This one is a hlaftime dub thingy. Tiny section, again trying to get the #opz to play with the whole #eurorack idea.
Again with #midiTracker in the back, keeping the beat.
(my posts here autodelete, but you can find all of these recordings somewhere on my website, I'm trying to put them all up there)
Replying to
@vacuumbeef@layer8.space it’s all a bit wonky still but the actual picked up and amplified signal sounds quite nice. I’ll keep documenting!
Another try at a stream thing
For the curious listener: I uploaded all the recent #midiTracker streams as unlisted yt videos.
You can find all of them here:
My energy has left the chat. Let’s hope the weekend brings some rest and new energy.

The absolute privilege to call this my own... A not so little box that allowed me to express myself, get lost in the flow, travel to party with old and new friends, box that taught me how to solder again, and how to annoy the heck out of my neighbors

@artsun the tiny mixer has an auxillary send I can send deck 1 and/or 2 into the pad and have some reverby or delay effects.
But the default on the kaoss algos is to send 50% and leave some dry signal too, soo it is also a boost.
Then I feed the pad into a channel that can send back to the pad again. A feedback loop that can create some nice drones and build up noises.
Colleague has gifted me a teensy 4.1 with #m8tracker headless on.
I guess they really know me well.
Replying to
@TripTilt Yeah sorry for the recording I just wanted to document this for myself real quick and thought it was fun to share.
I'll do a better recording of this setup soonish. But I mostly feel weird doing things with copyrighted music.
A colleague of mine was intrigued to help with one of the midi controllers I build. They are good with woodworking and have the right tools. So this is a first test with a cheap leftover. The plan is to make this from walnut and oil + prep it right. 🥰
( I might need to need to fix the proportions a little. They did a few tweaks to make the manufacturing easier, so there is some differences to the original.)
Trying to break with more rules again. I felt stuck in the same AD envople Synths so i tried something more down temp with the filter and VCA envelopes running free through the whole thing.
This felt pretty good while playing and I'll look more into this.
Playing more often with the #modularSynth and #midiTracker is slowly paying off.
Things around me are moving way to fast. Here is me trying to make the OP-Z (which is falling apart) #midiTracker and #eurorack sing together.
Miditracker is sending MIDI to the eurorack as well as the OP-Z with the basic chord mode I built.
These chords and things then go into beads and from threre to the rest of the rack.
Neat.
Writing a application/portfolio for the first time in 13 years and I hate it.
What a stupid thing to do. And it's even one of the nice things where you can compile all the stuff you have done.
Luxury problems, but still annoying the shit out of me.
So what’s an indie gem on the original #switch I should definitely check out and probably don’t know? Anything goes!
I started to put down parts of the commerical work I do at denkwerk on my website. If you're curious what I'm up to during work hours this is your chance.
