There are a number of languages / environments to help with the creation of generative music under the umbrella term 'live coding' - the community also tries to keep the performance aspects of music intact.
I was part of the preorder and just finished my first project with it, an MFT style workbench (3x5). My prior woodworking experience was a single class in high school. I would likely not have attempted this project without access this tool.
The software works off of SVG files, which was appealing as this is a format I'm already accustomed to. They have made a plugin for exporting SVG from Fusion360 models. The workflow to go from idea to a finished prototype is pretty quick.
Price for me was competitive, I had been looking at laser cutters which start at 2x-3x the price of this. Obviously not a direct comparison in capabilities.
"Ways of Seeing" was also made into a short BBC television series.
A few years ago, Lorna Mills gathered a number of contemporary artists and remade the series as "Ways of Something", with each artist contributing a minute of material to accompany the audio by John Berger
Character design done well? The visual design was done in a way to make these characters very distinctive & memorable, possibly the same applies to the auditory aspects?
Matt Groening: The secret of designing cartoon characters — and I’m giving away this secret now to all of you out there — is: you make a character that you can tell who it is in silhouette. I learned this from watching Mickey Mouse as a kid. You can tell Mickey Mouse from a mile away…those two big ears. Same thing with Popeye, same thing with Batman. And so, if you look at the Simpsons, they’re all identifiable in silhouette. Bart with the picket fence hair, Marge with the beehive, and Homer with the two little hairs, and all the rest. So…I think about hair quite a lot.
"Warning: Here Be Amateurs
We aim for high-quality science, but we're not EEG experts or professional researchers. There may be bugs in our code, glitches in our mathematics, shorts in our circuits, or flies in our ointments."
Yesterday the GMail App for iOS glitched on me as well. At one point the number of unread emails went to over 2k (in reality about 200), and then notifications for the app got enabled (usually disabled). Nothing major, just minor annoyances.
I didn't think much about it until today's events. Coincidence?
This principle is being used to generate power in Souther Spain. The system is described as a Concentrated Solar Thermal Power plus Molten Salt Storage (CSP+)
