I have been obsessed lately about what performing musicians have that can't be replaced by technology, especially in light of my artificial life studies. What can we musicians capitalize on? How would a musical education geared towards irreplacability look? research.helenbledsoe.com/can-musician...

Here is a web app for players confronted with spectral music. You can input a fundamental and the number of the overtone and hear the result. It also shows the note name and cent deviation. Made by players for players! affezwei.github.io/PartialPlus/

It's the year of the snake coming up so I am getting into Python. Here is an audio-visual experiment with tuba, a Julia-class fractal, and the wheel.ts vocal model. The visuals help to navigate the latent space of the model, the tuba disorts the model. #multimedia #ai youtu.be/h8_kAr8HBRk?...
