Great article from #CreateDigitalMusic

"Delia Arts Center in Gaza was a core of the musical community there – until it was destroyed and looted by occupying Israeli forces. Now, musical organizations have shifted to sheltering artists, shelter that is gravely threatened by the unfolding operation in Rafah. Earlier this week, CDM spoke to the Delia Arts Foundation about their work and their call for participation, with time or treasure, depending on your capabilities."

With a music center in Gaza destroyed, artists' shelter is now the priority - CDM Create Digital Music

Delia Arts Center in Gaza was a core of the musical community there - until it was destroyed and looted by occupying Israeli forces. Now, musical organizations have shifted to sheltering artists, shelter that is gravely threatened by the unfolding operation in Rafah. CDM spoke to the organization about their work and their call for participation, with time or treasure, depending on your capabilities.

Polystepper, a gorgeous electroacoustic synth made with stepper motors, and more wonders - CDM Create Digital Music

Analog, digital... we're onto the physical, kinetic, and electroacoustic. For one example, marvel at the Polystepper by artist/woodworker Love Hultén and coder Koka Nikoladze.

Paik's Video Study is a 700-piece archive of the work of Nam June Paik - CDM Create Digital Music

This is what media art nerd YouTube looks like - a heaven for fans of the transformative output of Nam Jun Paik, organized by the artist himself, in both English and Korean. Via Cosmin TRG.

It's nice to see articles written about #MetaSounds and #GameAudio (among other things) outside of traditional #VideoGame media. Peter Kirn's #CreateDigitalMusic wrote an article here about #UnrealEngine's 5.1 release:

"Unreal Engine 5.1 goes wild: what’s new from foliage to generated sound"

Unreal Engine 5.1 goes wild: what's new from foliage to generated sound - CDM Create Digital Music

In an epic year for Epic, November does it again. Unreal Fest 2022 brought a bunch of sessions on the latest from Unreal Engine, from sound to visuals. And it's worth making sure that doesn't fly under the radar of creative musicians, composers, and visualists, especially because there are some updates in their unique audio engine, too.

Any other #Max #Ableton #Live #MaxForLive users out there in the fediverse excited about #RNBO by #Cycling74? Basically Max patching that you can export to a bunch of nifty places like WebAudio, Raspberry Pi, plugins and more. Super exciting stuff for #musicproduction #musictech #interaction nerds. #CDM #CreateDigitalMusic has a pretty good writeup of it: https://cdm.link/2022/11/rnbo-max-for-web-hardware-plugin/
RNBO ("rainbow"): Start in Max's UI, deliver to plug-ins, Web browsers, hardware, any OS - CDM Create Digital Music

The new Max thing Cycling '74 has been teasing is here, and it's pronounced "rainbow." Maybe the easiest way to see why this is a big deal: on the product page, you can mess with an interactive patch in your Web browser natively.

Again, I’m hoping the #Fediverse can help me get to #NuancedConversation.
Closest I’ve observed, through “the public Web”, might have been on #CreateDigitalMusic by #PeterKirn. Interestingly, Kirn referred directly to birdsite.

We need to discuss race in electronic music, and we need a new way to communicate - CDM Create Digital Music

A social media meltdown reveals some deeper issues in the electronic dance music world - and the ways in which online media are amplifying divisions.
