I want to somehow use my monome grid to build out coarse vocal tract shapes for a physical model like !voc or @!(sndkitref “tract”)!@. 16 diameters with 8 steps of resolution, or 32 diameters with 4 steps of resolution. #halfbakedideas

low-res hard-edged SDFs in btprnt. mainly as a way to compose organic looking geometry. #halfbakedideas

on a monome 16x8 grid, you can get 10 consecutive 3x3 blocks in a 2x5 configuration. what’s left is a narrow 1x vertical strip, and a 2x horizontal strip. interesting divisions for a glyph based interface with controls. #halfbakedideas

conceptualizing the monome grid as a highly accurate low-density monochrome display #halfbakedideas

my little travel pillow arrived today for my feet while sitting in the meditation bench. paired with my foam pad for my knees, I think I can begin trying to test this out for my future portable kneeling workspace. #updates #halfbakedideas

implicit music, or the idea that music naturally exudes from everything. composition is not the act of making music, but of starting with music and working backwards. #halfbakedideas

musical experience that involve harvesting, farming, growth, and caretaking of virtual musical creatures with personality. creatures would socialize with eachother and their interactions would change the overall musical sounds implicitely. #halfbakedideas

creating vocal tract shapes using the monome grid, and then morphing between them using something like !gest. #halfbakedideas

play/pause/stop is not a great interaction, but it does count. thinking of interactive music as a gradient rather than a dichotomy (interactive vs non-interactive) seems like a healthier way to think about things. #halfbakedideas

thinking about a building something in the realm of !gesture that could work alongside !gest. The core principle of gest is line construction using breakpoints and an external clock. This new system, which I think I will call sloop, is more about making lines using slope. It would work by sending it messages: go from here, to there, in some amount of time, and use an external clock. If it reaches there, you have arrived. If a new message arrives before you get there, you are already here, now you have a new there. I think this approach would lend itself well to more open-ended kinds of gestures. #halfbakedideas

oh boy, I’m looking at !minilisp and I have to say I’m inspired to try and hack on it somehow #halfbakedideas

building a Forth that sits alongside a LISP. If it’s not an S-expression, it gets interpreted as a word. #halfbakedideas

I think the forth-lisp works if you think of it as a forth by default that pushes and pops s-expressions. #halfbakedideas
