“For now, I plan to keep focusing on circuit-based sound synthesis. It’s the medium I’m most familiar with, and I think there’s still a lot to explore. But in the future, I’ll keep learning about other new ways of interacting with sound and other media, to gather ideas and plant seeds for later synthesiser designs.”

@comment(“i just have a soft spot for these quirky PCB-based (analog) synthesizers; same goes for Gijs Giskes.”)

a collection of music application and music games that i find interesting:

• Electroplankton @music_game
• Oddada @music_game
• Rez @music_game
• Orca @music_app
• Midinous @never_used @music_app
• Hi-Fi Rush @never_used @music_game
• Vib-Ribbon @never_used @music_game
• The Polynomial — Space of the music @never_used @music_game

of course there are also the well-known ones like Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Geometry Dash, or even Dance Dance Revolution and also those rhythm games but somehow for me they do not belong here.

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the Technical University of Denmark have developed a free-form 3D thermal cloak that can hide complex objects from infrared detection. Instead of simply blocking heat and leaving behind a suspicious cold patch, the device guides thermal energy around a protected space before allowing it to continue on its original path. From the outside, the temperature pattern appears largely undisturbed — which is considerably more convincing than placing a very obvious thermal wall around whatever you are trying to hide.

Art Meets Radical Openness 2026 Becoming Unreadable: De-computing, De-networking, De-scaling, De-Platforming ourselves

The 2026 edition ‘Becoming Unreadable’ engages with invisibility, unreadability, ungovernability, and uncomputability as strategies for resisting current tendencies of our networked times. AMRO26 aims at challenging the common understanding of AI, networks and computers, and through its programme, it explores approaches that offer real change: feminist IT and community-centered technologies, data center resistance, radical imagination of autonomy and conviviality, till de-computing, de-networking, de-scaling and de-platforming ourselves.

The SCP Wiki is a collaborative speculative fiction website about the SCP Foundation, a secretive organization that contains anomalous or supernatural items and entities away from the eyes of the public — or so it may appear.
