On limitation and constraint.

How have I only just heard of this? A topic I've thought about a lot before. Must get around to this at some point.

"A toolbox for algorithmic remixing, after Echo Nest Remix." Oh, hello. And, wonderful as remix was, the fact this is _local_ feels exciting.

Very glad that Bandcamp are doing well. So much I like pops up there now.

A favourite to borrow from the library as a child. And: what a life. I did not know he played guitar.

"Rancho Electro is a series where a guest artist is invited to Ojai, California to collaborate on a new musical composition with Mikael Jorgensen. Utilizing traditional and electronic instruments, each group heads into the mountains above Ojai to film and record the performance of this new composition." I loved this first piece from Graph Rabbit. So nice to see interesting, melodic, electronic music performed live.

Really nice – and – lush – sounding virtual analogue, heavily pased on the JX8P. Those strings, that chorus!

Lovely live performance from Brian and Kelli: keyboard, modular, grid-sequencers, ukulele, voice. Feels intimate.

A truly lovely Music Easel performance. I love how coherent an instrument it is, and this is a cracking piece of playing.

"Nymphaea is one in a set of 7 works made under the title Ethereal Information. These works are Pure data patches, and they are generative sound works functioning by the rules of partially fixed algorithms. Each of the patches leaves the space for user’s input that will influence certain aspects of the work. Patches can be used under the Creative Commons Attribution license, as part of other works, in installations, galleries, public spaces or wherever you find them suitable."
Music as software. I'm listening to it now; not as an MP3, but as a PureData patch. Very good.

A really beautiful demonstration of a modular performance; so musical, so careful, and so clearly live; such an understanding. Fascinating to see someone who first learned on a Buchla, too, in this age, but it clearly comes through in her approach to the instrument.

This looks super-interesting, and has such a great line-up of writers.

Brilliant.
