Finally getting somewhere with this tree sonification project. Gonna slowly add field recordings to it and figure out a better demo mode eventually. https://austinsurroundsound.neocities.org

Managed to understand javascript just enough to take my first steps at sonifying Austin's tree inventory via the Web Audio api. Super basic patch right now, collecting trees into geohashes and "playing" each geohash by scaling population size to pitch and envelope data. diode.zone/w/k9ouaVbQ1D...

Tree Sonification Web Audio Api Test

A quick demo of my sonification sketch which I rewrote from Pure Data to the Web Audio API.

In the planning stages of sonifying some survey data of Austin trees. Thinking of devloping a unique score for a bunch of geohashes based on the trees in each hash, and then modulate based on the position of the listener. I didn’t realize how fun geohashes were! 14 years late to the party.In the planning stages of sonifying some survey data of Austin trees.

The thing about sketching is that it’s incredibly humbling 99% of the time, but occasisionally something will just come out and surprise you. The thing about sketching is that it’s incredibly humbling 99% of the time, but occasisionally something will just come out and surprise you.

I’ve been trying “openvibe” to bridge my mastodon and bluesky timelines into one app — despite the many UI paper cuts and terrible name (🙄) it does seem to at least be able to do that task to a first approximation. Hoping that one of my prefered client apps will take on the challenge at some point.I’ve been trying “openvibe” to bridge my mastodon and bluesky timelines into one app — despite the many UI paper cuts and terrible name (🙄) it does seem to at least be able to do that task to a first approximation.

Wrote a little review of Miquel de Palol’s “Trois Pas Vers le Sud,” which I picked up in France right before I got Covid and burned through once I got back. zarabanda.neocities.org/blog#trois

I’ve been really enjoying going through some of Ted Greene’s “V System” for 4 note chord inversions and spacings on guitar. I’ve tried to study inversions systematically here and there but this is way clearer than anything I could have come up with. www.tedgreene.com/teaching/v_s...

Really compelled by Korolëva's "premonitions". The way the animal voices and field recordings are tuned & bent into sometimes poignant, sometimes terrifying shapes is astounding. A very fine line that is easily overdone, but it works for me here. f-o-m.bandcamp.com/album/premon...
