Programsko okolje in jezik Arduino je nastal na osnovi odprtokodnih razvojnih orodij – na platformi za programiranje mikrokontrolerjev Wiring, osnova za razvojno okolje pa je bil Processing.

Osnovna paradigma je odprtokodnost, kar pomeni da se vseskozi ohranja filozofija dostopnosti izvorne programske kode in tudi samega hardverja – samoizgradnje naprav. Razširjenost platforme je pripomogla, da je nas... more

Termenvox ali theremin ali etervox imenujejo tudi prvi elektronski glasbeni instrument (leta 1920). Njegov izumitelj je Lev Sergejevič Termen. Seveda je neposredna posledica izuma ojačevalnega elementa (Lee de Forest, 1906-10), vendar je že tudi zlo/dobro/raba tehnologije za estetsko rabo. V zadnjem desetletju doživlja najbrž že svoj četrti ali peti ciklus ponovnega življenja, ti ciklusi pa dokaj zvesto sledijo t... more

This was a leisure time project that seems to help to get the mind off the more complicated art projects, but still fulfils some of the (necessary?) need for “creative” work.

What’s the hack? I had (and still have) an enormous box for my computer that served me well over the seven years, but it was a horror to transport it around. When my son bought a new co... more

Idejno-filozofsko-estetska zasnova:

Računalniški glasbeni algoritmi so bolj ali manj kompleksni zbiri ukazov, ki med velikim številom možnih odločitev z računalnikovo zmožnostjo velike hitrosti odločanja in z veliko mero variacij (zmožnostjo hitrega računanja) v realnem času proizvajajo muzikalične dogodke. Tej zvrsti glasbe se v sodobni glasbi od sredine stoletja pravi tudi aleatorična glasba (ko še ni bila neposredno vezana na računalniško okolje).

This audio mixer is a bit special. It has the ability to add and subtract each of the six stereo channels and the resulting (L+R, L-R, 2xL, 2xR) outputs are sent to four amplifiers and loudspeakers. It can be used as normal stereo mixer also. I finished it in 1997.

It was put to good use in SOUND BIOTOPE installation two years later:

A somehow poetic name relates to the rich harmonic content of tube amplifiers (and to the piano piece by American composer Terry Riley).

I wanted to build one for years and it came to life a decade later (with the know-how). It came to life with a realization that it is all the truth (the musicality of the vacuum tube).

Amplifier was built around two broken do... more
