Important Records
@imprec.bsky.social
Imprec.com Record Label Pre-algorithmic curation since 2001 The character conveyed most often in Important releases isn't style but substance, with a personal and emotional depth that makes the label easy to understand but difficult to explain.
Floating Frequencies / Intuitive Synthesis 1, Eleh’s foundational 2006 album of electronic minimalism, is reissued. Out on @imprec.bsky.social. I’ve looked at it today for @theartsdesk.bsky.social: www.theartsdesk.com/new-music/mu...

“In various mystical traditions, the concept of “nothing” implies genesis, not so much seed as a fundamental, like ground or empty sky. Pauline Oliveros, Miya Masaoka and Issui Minegishi create from non-emptiness,” writes Marc Medwin. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/8197827... @imprec.bsky.social

a note on my use of the term 'generative' + links from the image noyzelab.bandcamp.com/album/genera... www.bbcbasic.org en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_... www.cs.utexas.edu/~ear/ www.cs.utexas.edu/~ear/quiltin...
![for details on why i use the term generative please see my 2006 phd Generative Music & Cellular Automata + associated papers. these were written at the Creativity & Cognition Studios, UTS, Australia; an internationally recognised multi-disciplinary environment for the advancement and understanding of practice in digital media and the arts.
i build/write my own generative hardware & software. this is informed by my practice based research on cellular automata + other algorithms that i find personally interesting for music making [chaos/complexity & other maths]. there is NO TRAINING OR DATA SET required for this approach, whether on existing music or any other type of training data.. period! ok, that’s an exclamation mark :) ..my phd is available for FREE/NYP.
https://noyzelab.bandcamp.com/album/generative-music-cellular-automata-phd-thesis-data-2006
my work is completely different to current genAI & their usage of training data sets. it is an intimate, local, home grown practice requiring little computing resource. my early foundational work was coded mainly in BBC BASIC [free open source + plz lookup Sophie Wilson!]. i still use BBC BASIC today along with Python, MicroPython, Arduino, Parallax Propellor, Raspberry PI & DDLab, among others on my journey.
https://www.bbcbasic.org/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_Wilson
my undergrad degree dates from 89-93. back then we wrote mainly in Assembler, C, C++, LISP & used some cool math books. we were taught AI and required to hand code neural networks from scratch. we also used Elaine Rich’s classic computer science text book Artificial Intelligence.
