Sammensatt Guitar #2. This was an in-studio performance recorded to demonstrate the improvements from version 1 for my thesis. This version includes guitar augmented with 4 rotary encoders, an accelerometer, and a gyrometer that control features and FX in Max/MSP on.soundcloud.com/MTMi5p5SxEPU...

The proposed anti-trans passport changes are a clear attack on trans people's rights to have correct identification. And for some people, their passport is their only chance. Today is the deadline for one of the three portals taking comments — it takes <5 minutes! transequality.org/news/freedom...

FREEDOM TO FLY: Take Action to Protect Trans Passport Access | A4TE

The U.S. Department of State has opened public comment periods on three important passport applications, and we must flood all three with our opposition to anti-trans changes before it's too late.

Trump's State Department is denying accurate passports to all #trans & #intersex folks. The State Dept is accepting public comments for people to submit their concerns about the new passport policy. You can submit comments anonymously on the federal register website (all three links in this thread).

Creatively, trust the weirdos The ones willing to make art that makes you confused, that is uncomfortable, that reaches The ones who aren’t thinking about trends but about what communicates what they are envisioning Even if you don’t like their work trust it. Respect it

Technology can’t solve all our problems, sometimes it’s just a way to avoid thinking about them.

Setting up a new work computer is basically just clicking through modals telling you about features you already know about or have no use for whatsoever for a week.

"J. O’Connor suggests there are four stages of perceptual-motor learning of a musical instrument: 1. unconscious incompetence 2. conscious incompetence 3. conscious competence 4. unconscious competence" I've been stuck at stage 2 for like 15 years now... nime.pubpub.org/pub/aa39yd37...

If you're into drone or ambient music, JavaScript, P5, sound art, or annoying sounds in general, take a look at this simple instrument I made in P5. The title is a parody of boutique guitar pedal names. editor.p5js.org/msorensen/fu...

A web interface for drone music with sliders to adjust frequencies and amplitudes of 8 oscillators.
