I love working on music software because everything depends upon a few lines of code that defines a particular theory of time and change and takes years to get right

Another option -- Cardinal in the browser: https://cardinal.kx.studio/live.

It's essentially VCV rack but with a very large selection of modules pre-installed.

I know nothing about these devices but the sounds are beautiful and I appreciate the ambitious arrangement.

Dada Machines demoed their “every duration and division” module at Superbooth. And they produced an accompanying mini zine that explains the basics of polymeters and metric modulations #superbooth
I’m planning a course on electronic music techniques (both synthesis and composition) and am very tempted to use the WIP web version of supercollider. Imagine not having to install anything, just open your browser and start exploring. But it’s probably a bit too early and I’m not sure if it’s even possible to run as a library and use custom HTML interfaces yet. The pragmatic alternative is to use M4L (the students already have Ableton installed). I’ll give scweb a try though.

I'll be at Superbooth this week. If you want to grab a coffee and chat about electronic music, composition, music theory, synthesizers or literature, feel free to get in touch.

Or stop by and say hi in booth Z380 (in the Zeltstadt) where we present the new Elastic OSC desktop release https://www.superbooth.com/en/messe-and-exhibitors/exhibitors/elastic-instruments.html

Major thanks to Ethan Hein for writing about the Disquiet Junto music community I've moderated for the past 14 and a half years (or more to the point, the past 748 consecutive weeks). Here's a link to Ethan's article about the Junto, in which musicians respond each week to a composition project that I send out.

A friend recommended Takiji Kobayashi's "The Crab Cannery Ship". I haven't read it yet, but I probably will -- it seems fascinating.

"It tells the story of the hard life of cannery workers, fishermen and seamen on board a cannery ship and the beginning of their revolt against the company and its managers."
