I’m trying to release some of my old and new music I’ve been keeping for myself for no apparent reason. Still a work in progress… 2 new releases for now, check them out here: http://www.earslap.com/music Not much info is available at this time, I’ll try to add some and even release my tools as I [...]

I’ve added a new Quark to SuperCollider Quarks repository that allows you to access the multitouch data from supported MacBook (and MacBook Pro) touchpads. It needs the tongsengmod application I’ve forked from the tongseng project, but once tongsengmod is installed, integration is seamless. The details can be found in the help file. Here is a [...]
Dan Stowell curated an excellent compilation of the SCtweet pieces as an album. 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 [...]
I’ve updated Hadron again and added the HadronPlugins Quark to the SuperCollider Quarks database. Full change log is here again: http://quarks.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/quarks/Hadron/Help/Hadron-Changelog.html HadronPlugins right now consists of two plugins. The first one is HrPresetMorph that provides two-to-many preset/state interpolation on a 2D surface to the Hadron system (much like the MetaSurface of the great AudioMulch). The [...]
Some of you might know about the Freesound project ( http://www.freesound.org ). The website is a collaborative database of Creative Commons licensed “sounds”. By “sounds”, they mean “samples only”, that are snippets of recorded stuff which are not to be identified as “songs”. It has a quite big community and they provide an API for [...]
Hadron is received well and I’m a happy man. Thanks to all for the suggestions. Especially to Erik Skogen for feature suggestions, Wouter Snoei for detailed usage improvement suggestions, and Ali Bilgin Arslan for testing the app and plugin interface before release(s)! I have an update and full change log is here: http://quarks.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/quarks/Hadron/Help/Hadron-Changelog.html Update your [...]
I’ve released a SuperCollider Quark called Hadron (the one I was talking about earlier). It is a graphical patching environment that lives inside SC. Go to the project page. There is a screencast there. And maybe other info.
Here is a cool concept. I think many of you are familiar with the Twitter service; even if you aren’t using it yet, you probably are aware of the fact that there are millions of people all around the globe twitting like frenzy using this service (defined by some as the SMS of the Internets) [...]
Today, I see that the controversial and much talked-about piece of Karlheinz Stockhausen, the Helicopter String Quartet, is scheduled for its “4th time ever” real performance at January 18, 2009, in Rome. The first 3 performances were held at the premier day of the piece[1], at June 26, 1996 with the Arditti Quartet playing the [...]
