NR33 - "Barely Alive Coding" - Noisk8 / josecaos - Digital Split Release - 1 mayo 2026

https://nucleoroto.org/roto-releases/nr33

Entre la lógica fría de la máquina y la caótica e impredecible naturaleza de la creación humana. Lejos de los estudios millonarios y el software privativo que homogeneiza el sonido global, este álbum nace del código abierto, de la computadora personal como herramienta de lucha y del conocimiento compartido.

Gordon Reid's classic 'synthesis explained' in-depth series ran in Sound On Sound every month, non-stop, over 5 years and is still used by Colleges and University courses as 'essential reading' when teaching the foundations of synthesis and sound design. We've collected all 63 episodes here, for ease and convenience.

Another wonderful interview by @savetz, this time with Tom Zimmerman, part of the four-person team at Atari that worked on the never-released AMY sound chip: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_AMY

Tom comes across as an absolute gentleman.

His description of what the AMY could do is terrific. It synthesised audio using up to 16 oscillators for the fundamental and harmonics to build rich, complex sounds. It could also be run "in reverse"; quoting Wikipedia:

An input sample could be run through a Fast Fourier transform to extract the spectral pattern, and then that pattern could be input to the AMY to set up the oscillators.

Tom contrasts the AMY's design against FM synths like the #YamahaDX7 and sample-based synthesizers.

Tom's words of wisdom at the end of the interview are wonderful too. A recommended listen, even if #Atari isn't your thing.
