I went to the grocery store twice this weekend.

"OMG! Are you ill?"

No, I wanted to try recipes from the cookbook I mentioned above. I'm going to try the Rice Pudding and the Artichoke and Beans recipes. The Artichoke and Beans one is especially easy: combine ingredients, eat! :derpface:

I've watched the latest Ann Reardon video on probiotics. I learned a few things.

In the video, they mention "Non-industrialized Microbiome restore" diet (NiMe diet). There's a document with recipes that I'm linking to below.

Next week is NIME week! Not going this year – Canberra is way too far from Berlin – but I finally uploaded my presentation from last year. Features the Sophtar and a somewhat pretentious digression about magic, ergodynamics, and a quote from a book by Benjamin Labatut #NIME #NewInstruments #Sophtar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcftQWdpFw0 https://www.federicovisi.com/sophtar-presentation-at-nime-2024/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=jetpack_social

I'm happy to be (online) presenting a paper at #NIME next week! I'll be talking about the Memory Cloud instrument, specifically diving into how it was used by two professional musicians. I use it as an example of what I call "Radically Microscale Design", drawing on sustainable HCI, constraints-based design, and how affordances can be built between players, instruments, and sonic content.
(edit: paper link is live! go read and download and cite! https://nime.org/proc/nime2025_65/index.html)

Screenshot from the NIME 2025 website showing details of my session and a picture of the Memory Cloud instrument, featuring a user etched wood panel with a number of knobs. Title of the session is The Memory Cloud: Personal media libraries as affordance and constraint Abstract: The Memory Cloud is a musical instrument that uses a player’s own library of personal recordings as sonic material. This paper presents the design of the instrument, situating it within sustainability HCI studies and constraints-based design, before describing the instrument being used by two musicians in a professional context. Over 2000 sounds from the musician’s personal cloud library, dating back over 10 years, were placed in the instrument as the only sonic material... (the screenshot does not show the full abstract)

Final three videos from the 2024 #EmbeddingAlgorithms workshop. 1: a performance by @zoonslows on Slow Qin and @alberto.decampo on Non-Trivial Musical Instrument (NTMI) https://youtu.be/eTml59lx_UY #NIME #SuperCollider #NewInstruments #MaxMSP #ExperimentalMusic #SlowQin #EchoHo #AlbertoDeCampo

Has anyone tried #nime as #Japanese #IME under #9front?

I tried #ktrans, but I’m not able to make it work and type Japanese…

...speaking of #NIME, #STEIM and #Fello, here are some pics of the design of it, made with FreeCAD 0.16 (If I remember well) #freecad #andiotto #fello #music #cello #design #3dmodeling #3dprinting #nime #instrumentdesign #uidesign

Last week, I went to Utrecht for the NIME conference, where I had the opportunity to present some of my research. But most importantly, I reunited with many dear friends from my @steim_amsterdam days (and made new ones!). I also got to see instruments I designed in the past, which are still in great shape @antioddo @albertoboem. It's been really great #nime #nime2024 #utrecht #netherlands #digitalmusicalinstrument #design #friends #steim #uidesign #research #unipd #cscpadova #deiunipd

At #IntelligentInstrumentsLab recording the #sophtar going through a RAVE model trained on Korean chants. The audio of the feedbacking strings goes through the model while the pressure on each of the eight segments of the fretboard shifts each of the eight latent dimensions of the autoencoder. You can also hear @thor coming through the door 🙂 #IIL #NIME #DMI #ML #feedback

About time for a proper #introduction : I’m a musician and researcher in musical interactions, post-digital instrument design, networked music performance, and interactive machine learning. I designed an instrument called the Sophtar (see video) and I am currently at the Intelligent Instrument Lab in Iceland https://youtu.be/Ee8vI8oFm9o?feature=shared #academia #academicchatter #nime #dmi #iml #ml

Huh, maybe I should (re)watch the monogatari series just so I could watch the new season as it airs.

I think I finished up to "second season" and a bit after that? IDK.

"I dropped out of a wedding and a gathering just to watch this masterpiece. will be expecting a very loud argument with my family now."

NEW 📣 Article of the day ✍️ by Nick Acorne: Sensor-based Instruments in a context of free improvised music
The current article will concentrate shortly on the history of free improvised music, sensor-based instruments, and examples of the practical usage of sensor-based instruments in solo and ensemble performances.

Things happened, part 1: Haven't posted in a while but I've been busy! First, our article about about musical instrument design workshops is on the cover of the new Computer Music Journal :)
