I just saw Ikeguchi Lab’s awesome demonstration of 100 metronomes becoming synchronized via mutual entrainment (the metronomes are arrayed on a hanging platform to facilitate) and thought this was just the thing to share as we say farewell to 2016 and look forward to 2017.

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 […]
