Someone had just emailed me on a Friday night to ask if I have any thoughts to share on AI in digital govt and I think my answer is that we should focus on making basic services work for everyone and stop worrying about AI

Maintaining a project on microsoft/azure github seems as bad as maintaining a profile on X It's bonkers that we let the free/open source community get so comprehensively captured by closed source, inhumane corporate tech. If your community on there doesn't have an exit plan, it might be worth […]

Tour done ! Our final epiploke tour date in Lyon was probably the most banging https://www.youtube.com/live/414h7Vqk2r8?t=20620s

Grrrnd zero algorave is streaming live from Lyon, France all night long https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=414h7Vqk2r8

This from Stockhausen is remarkable in a couple of ways.. First it closes his book and clearly he felt it was important, but as far as I know dancing is completely absent from computer music/electroacoustic education institutions that otherwise laud Stockhausen […] [Original post on post.lurk.org]

Epiploke (Heavy Lifting + I) will be on tour next week ! 27 April – Ultra process 2 @ Folklore, London UK luma.com/47ev6cto 28 April – Lambdasonic – workshop + algorave, Ghent BE nerdlab.be/agenda/algor...

the live coding scene is 100% the thing that has made me most excited over the last couple of years: seeing people perform actually live music with computers, as free as jazz, freer, showing their screen, sharing what they're doing with an audience who understand what they're doing has felt so...

An excerpt from a tidal cycles live coding music set performance video by me Performing the first track from the released "Shimmering Blossom" album in 2026. Album available on Bandcamp: Rangga Purnama Aji Full video on YouTube: youtu.be/7x-n7bUk3Iw?... #algorave #livecoding

Good to see more free/open source projects move off the proprietary microsoft github platform to codeberg etc. I think it's fair to say that projects left behind aren't really free/open source.. [1/2]

Uzu microgrant open call 2026! Thanks to the generosity of all the contributors to the opencollective, we are able to open this call for development of uzu langs including funding community building events and other activities, and giving grants for software development work already contributed […]

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Hi @tidalcycles + @strudel people! If you'd like to support + encourage software and community development of Strudel, Tidal and sibling projects, now would be great time! https://opencollective.com/tidalcycles This software is shared as free/open source with love, and created and supported […]

Also a bummer considering the original algorave in 2011 cautioned that the point wasn't just generating pieces with minimal input -- "algorave musicians don’t pretend their software is being creative, they take responsibility for the music they make, shaping it using whatever means they have"

Released today, "Compassion through algorithms volume III" - a huge 55 track album full of really great music and noise from the live coding/algorithmic music community, fundraising to support Palestinian health, dignity and culture.

A bit annoying that free/open source communities are almost all hosted by a closed source platform owned by microsoft AI who use it to IP-wash all those projects by training LLMs.. While also supporting genocide etc. An awful situation that we need to move away from ASAP. [1/2]

How to imagine computation without the malicious tech of our imperial way of life? I talked about this at a hybrid keynote for ALPACA2025 on „Endosymbiotic Computation“. I am definitely out of practice to talk freely in EN ;-) youtu.be/eRhgtwtkYv8?... thanks @slab.org @federicovisi.bsky.social
