Notes first meeting, Weitzer: 30.10.2018 - Ideas

Cicadas, Entrained Oscillators Model

  • Spatially distributed oscillator, one Microphone
  • Synchronization Phenomena
  • Phases of oscillators are shifted by the incoming Microphone signal
  • Idea: How to transpose model for musicians? Score as rule set
  • The importance of perception
  • How not to be a constructivist?
  • How not to be algorithmic?
  • Contingency added by the player/instruments/spaces/material/contexts/temperature…
  • Sensitivity
  • Transpose the model in the Frequency domain? How? Timbre (Klangfarbe)
  • Properties/Peculiarities of the various Instruments/Sound-generation
  • Mesh of rules
  • Same mode/ different Instances/realizations.
  • Identity by similar/coherent behavior
  • Think Materiality(Dinglichkeit)/Identity/Form/Stability differently, through Temporal Structuring, temporal Coherence.

Language/System

Theory-Thread

  • Objecthood(Dinglichkeit)/Materiality
  • System/behavior
  • Non-algoritmicity friction in thought
  • paper?

WebAssembly

The first is an example for creating a WebAudio patch with Rust. Unfortunately it doesn't use custom processing function, just puts together the standard WebAudio API components. And so we have the second project which is a C++ example of submitting a custom AudioWorkletProcessor ; it was working both in Firefox and Chromium for me, so perhaps the API is already stable enough to give it a try.


Meanwhile, progress is made with getting Scala Native to compile to wasm:


What I would like to figure out is if I can write an AudioWorkletProcessor function in Scala this way.
