I’m not entirely sure about this meme in terms of the overt sexism. Looked it up a little and there’s some talk about it, but hopefully it’s not past the line of problematic. I have a hard time telling.

Not exactly programmatic, but I saw another streamer hook up their chat to super collider so folks could do a collaborative jam session. It was chaos, but a lot of fun.

(and for anyone not familiar with supercollider: https://supercollider.github.io/ - it’s open source software that’s “A platform for audio synthesis and algorithmic composition, used by musicians, artists and researchers working with sound.”)

Might have been me how mentioned working on their own filetype, because, well, I am. It’s not a music thing. It’s a replacement for markdown/mdx. It’s still a work in progress, but I’m using it. I also don’t really expect other folks to use it, but I’m putting it out there anyway.

I’m cleaning up the docs. I’ll post them when I get them polished a little

I keeeeep wanting to get into making music, but it never makes it up the priority list high enough. I used to be a sax player, but I never did music theory or chords. I know it wouldn’t be super hard to get into that based off my experience, but I don’t have the energy to put into the learning curve right now.

The idea of the public data set is awesome. I’d also love to see bands. release stubs of their music for remixing (I’ll like to something like that when I find it)

I’ve never looked at the torrent protocol. (That’s going a bit deeper than I’ve ever done before.) If it doesn’t support compression that could be done on the client side right? Or is there something else that goes on there?
