iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I helped out with the EMOM synth / #algorave space at #emfCamp and littered the tent with #Strudel starter cards. It's popular but has a bewildering range of things to play with. Intended to give enough to modify and inspire. Feedback and improvements welcome! www.jamesrutherford.com/databay/stru...

Catching up with #emfCamp. Who knew there was chat outside Mastodon? Our Trash Compactor EMOM stage was amazing. Here I'm smash-mixing a bunch of #Amiga tracker stems together in a total abuse of #Strudel. You won't believe what happens at 18 seconds... Thx for the video @documental.ly! #algorave

Another fab night at Sunderland's Klang. It was a bit of a hack set (a meme from a year ago qualifies that) but nicely bouncy, mostly progressive, a few different tricks, and *mostly* no glaring bloopers - only a little accidental silence 😄 youtu.be/7TWDnCfGQho #strudel #livecoding #emom #algorave

Last night was a step into an intimidating unknown - I put myself up for an open-mic electronic music night. Gig went good - only one obvious goof (I put it down to typing in the dark 😅) I'm keen to keep building this hobby! youtu.be/K19aWA5jz_4 #strudel #livecoding #algorave #emom #electronicmusic

@co-wheels.bsky.social I don't know if you're monitoring, but I wanted to say I'm disappointed Newcastle is switching car club. You've been great since I ditched car ownership. I hope I can continue to use your service. (Car zones on the West side / Fenham towards A1 would be appreciated, please 🙂)

My intentions for #ByteJamuary slid. I nailed myself to a schedule, forgetting that I'm drawn to completism and perfectionism - I thought these would be single, short little tips; but I find myself trying to cover a topic instead. I don't want to change that, but the timeline won't be daily drops!

I'm launching #ByteJamuary tomorrow - it's month of ByteJam tricks for all experience levels! Intro post tomorrow, then runs daily from 1st through 31st January 2025. Let's see where we get to 😄 Details: bytejamuary.creativenucleus.com #demoscene #livecoding #TIC80 #MondayNightBytes #ByteJam

An astonishingly good #MondayNightBytes #ByteJam - some incredible effects, and a great Christmas send-off for the community. One to rewatch when it hits @scenesat.com! Mine riffed on classic Amiga demo "State of The Art", with a dancing tree and moiré circles in the background. #TIC80 #liveCoding
