A new audio toy is online. Click here to play with it in your browser. Above is an action video. For the past few months, I’ve been developing a DSP library in HaXe programming language which can target Adobe Flash (ActionScript), C++ and JavaScript code (and others). It has high quality oscillators filters and all [...]

SCtweets are (little) pieces composed in the SuperCollider environment with at most 140 characters in size (a limit employed by the Twitter service for posts). The album (which includes 22 tracks) and the source code is available to anyone for free, and [...]

One of the most impressive performances I’ve ever seen! Thanks goes to Candas Sisman. Great ideas and stunning musicianship!
I saw this great set of advices written on two sheets of paper by Thelonious Monk posted to the great noiseaddicts blog. Apparently, these were written for the guys playing with him.

I’ve added a video to my vimeo page that uses the code-swarm application by Michael Ogawa to visualize the SuperCollider svn commit logs. The logs were taken from sourceforge, it starts from July 13, 2004 and ends in November 23, 2008 covering 1594 days (or in other words 4 years, 4 months and 10 days) [...]
