In a recent blog article, Kevin of diyelectromusic went to some lengths to look at using vactrols for a VCA with an ESP32 project. I hadn’t intended on reading it all ( https://diyelectromusic.wordpress.com/2024/04/20/esp32-dac-envelope-generator-part-2/ ) but then I opened my gob on mastodon before having done so and recognized, now I was done for. I’d have to see what he was actually…

Having neglected the blog, I thought I’d report what the analog Hd https://gieskes.nl/instruments/?file=analog-HD sounds like when it meets the keep. So, what’s up Doc?

No, I still do not really blog. I’m just practicing writing markdown to keep from forgetting it again. So, what’s up Doc?

No, I still do not really blog. However, twice with in the span of 4 weeks, I saw the same puzzle pop up. Once on Hacker News with a neat let’s make a solution using Sympy as a solver and once, well, in typical newspaper fashion. This is the oft used form: (courtesy of: https://nitter.net/Cshearer41/status/1281873084836970496 the most prolific puzzle machine of twitter, eh, x, eh, whatever.)

I just don’t blog, now, do I. But I sometimes make a thing. Supercollider sequence.

R2D's Automated Garden of Ragas
This is a set of supercollider compositions to musicially illustrate some l-systems I wrote. Update: 2026-03-18 I had completly forgotten to update this page. I published a whole album of these on bandcamp : Rags for R2 Each example is an L-System and uses intervals/ratios from ragas to make music. It started last year when I worked a bit on @avanka ’s lsystems drawing tool. That was fun.…

Work 10
Work 10 I’ve been building musical toys much of my adult life. Here are two, open source synths I build and play . You can build you’re own using the plans at the repository
stardate 20200620
I thought I’d make a note of the fact that I’m rebuilding the site :) Since I’ve begun posting material for the synths I’m building, it became apparent that much of the old site was not just dated. I’m dated :)
Music
Mostly improvisational swamp jazz :)
Vendetta
Yes, we have no bananas.
The Writing on the Wall
A very old web art experiment. I’d Hazard a guess at about 2001.
Emergency Exit
Madcap improvisational electronic swamp jazz. And Techno. Lest we forget!
Gaps in Berlin
Slideshow This is a work of Ina Wudtke’s on which I collaborated. The slideshow here corresponds to the exhibition here. Introduction The places depicted here are a small selection of locations of former public Jewish institutions in Berlin before the Holocaust. I have chosen especially those larger institutions which have had a lasting effect on the cityscape and the spiritual life of the…

Supercollider L-systems This is a set of supercollider compositions to musicially illustrate some l-systems I wrote. In the long term this effort is to arrive at something like L-Systems performing Ragas in supercollider :) Last year I worked a bit on @avanka ’s lsystems drawing tool. That was fun. I wanted color and was obliged. I made some plant life. https://anvaka.github.io/lsystem/ Now,…
