Usually I get off to a late start, but this year we are already beginning to brainstorm for at Maker Faire 2011 (May 21-22nd, San Mateo Fairgrounds). The idea this year is to allow participants to experiment with the various sound synthesis algorithms described in the books: FM, modal, subtractive, granular, physical, etc. Participants will get […]

Pre-order The SuperCollider Book!
My colleague and SuperCollider creator, James McCartney, tells me that the long wait for the SuperCollider book is almost over. The book will shortly be released on MIT Press, and may be if you can’t wait! For those not yet indoctrinated, SuperCollider is a special purpose programming language environment for real-time audio synthesis and algorithmic composition […]
Sonic Sculpture
Being a fan of sound synthesis via (digital) physical modeling I am amazed by the Swiss artist Zimoun‘s physical kinetic sonic sculpture: Swissnex will be exhibiting Zimoun’s works in San Francisco January 22 to February 26th 2011. Contact me if you would like to go together.
A conversation about lockless protocols
I had a conversation with old friend, occasional colleague, future Audio Anecdotes contributor(?), Craig Hansen-Sturm recently about the application of lockless data structures to implement robust, low-latency audio systems. I can imagine why Craig, freshly hired by venerable sequencer maker Cakewalk, is interested in low-latency audio, but I was surprised to refer him to a list […]
