I've wanted to do this for at least 30 years.

Recorded a bit of guitar, and recorded a finger snap in a stairwell I frequent. Then I convolved them together to give pseudo-reverb to the guitar.

Very easy to do in Csound.

Trying out polygon subdivisions of a rectangle. Lots of variations possible.

I came up with a new motto on a ride yesterday: "Slow spaghetti wins the race."

A friend posted a picture of their cat, showing its belly as it lay spread across a threshold and suggested that it looked like an audio waveform and essentially dared someone to create such an audio waveform. So I did.

The sound is essentially arbitrary, but it was a fun little challenge to figure a smooth way to make a sound with a waveform that matched (closely) a given image. The length is totally arbitrary, but I figured 35 seconds was plenty.

Trying out some code to repeat chunks of an input sound file based on characteristics of the chunks. The input file here is one I made a long time ago, banging on a sheet of steel with a contact mic on it.

Made some animations to demonstrate some theorems about octagons. I think they look pretty nice.

A quick composition, playing around with filtered noise, aleatoric filters and stereo.
