hey #SuperCollider geeks, (and any other music maverics that do anything connected to sc - like tidal and other) don't miss this chance to join a global community of creatives - number of slots are still available at SuperCollider 3.14 release party on Saturday! all you need is OBS, the streaming server is there for you.
all info here:
https://stream.supercollider.online/
please boost! 
stream.supercollider.onlineSC Release party
Hello internet friends, esteemed audience, and serendipitous readers! I have the house to myself and might do a little stream tonight (aiming for 19:00 CEST, that is 17:00 UTC).
As usual on my Twitch channel:
https://twitch.tv/the_emergent
I'll do things in #SuperCollider. I don't know yet what I want to do - might do some sound design, learn some new things and tie it off with a short livecoding session.

SuperCollider 3.14 release party
We want to celebrate the release of the new SuperCollider version 3.14 with the community with a 24 hour streaming event! There are 72 open 20 minute slots which can be claimed by anyone who wants to contribute a performance. The performance should be related to SuperCollider in some way, although it is not limited to musical performances but can also be talks or other kind of performances.
The event will be happening on 2025-07-26 from UTC 00:00 to UTC 23:59. For your timezone ... this relates to ...
The performances need to be transmitted as video streams which can be created via e.g. OBS - you can take a look at the setup guide. The performances are broadcasted via live.eulerroom.com, which has been kindly provided by TOPLAP - consider donating to them via OpenCollective.

Domifare at Folklore
Even Rascob (aka BITPRINT) has been organising regular Live Code gigs are Folklore in Hackney. I played Domifare last night . . . sort of.
I’ve blogged before about pitch recognition being flaky. And it is, but usually within the first three minutes or so, the SuperCollider autocorrelation UGen does actually recognise the pitches and the piece runs.
Not last night. Instead, I spend 15 minutes playing the same four note phrase over and over and over again, in front of an audience.
What went wrong
- Normally, when I play this, I have the mic right down in the bell, and it was up slightly higher this time, which may have caused problems.
- When I practice this, I lip the pitch up or down slightly and this often works. This level of subtlety and control is extremely difficult after several minutes of failure on stage. Instead, my playing got messier and messier over the course of the set.
- As I was trying to piece out, I couldn’t decide whether to use my old mouth piece, or my new one which is slightly more difficult with greater freedom. It didn’t seem to make a difference when I was practising, so I went for the newer, freer one, which might have been a mistake.
- My sound card’s output was also extremely low, which is a problem I’ve had before with Pipe Wire. This was concerning during the tech setup, but turned out not to be an issue during the performance.
- My laptop was sat on a stool in front of me which was not a distance that worked at all with my glasses. The screen was so blurry, I couldn’t properly tell what notes were arriving.
How to fix it
- If I need consistent mic placement that’s down in the bell, I should make a mount that goes into the bell. The would be a cork-covered ring, with spokes, a mic suspended in the middle.
- Flucoma would allow me to train a neural net to recognise a series of pitches as a cue. Because the tuba spectrum is weird and the mic is most sensitive at the weird points, I would probably have to do the training on stage. Would his be more tedious of 15minutes of failed command input? No.
- Practising this piece is essentially training myself to be decipherable to the algorithm, which is subtly different than normal practice goals or technique. I did not get as much practice as I would have liked. I spent a lot of time building lip strength, with the idea it would make my notes clearer, but not as much time getting feedback from the autocorrelation algorithm. It may be more practice with the program would have helped. Or, the algorithm was confused by background noise or mic placement, perhaps it would have made no difference whatsoever.
- Taking the bus with a tuba, a laptop, an audio card, cables, a mic, a mic stand and so forth is already a bit much, but it may be the case that I also need a laptop stand so I can ensure my computer being at a height and location where I can see it. Or my old reading glasses required more and more distance. Maybe a laptop on a stool is not a good use for them.
How I dealt with everything
I think my stage presence was fine, actually, except for when I was giving up at the end. I should have launched a few minutes of solo improv starting from and around the cue phrase. I’m going to practice this a bit, not that I expect the piece to fail like this again.
This was not my first performance of this piece. It went fine when I played it in Austria, 3 years ago.
Well, at least the failure of that piece was all that went wrong
Shelly Knotts and I were also meant to play some MOO, but discovered during the sound check that most of it wasn’t working, so we cut it from the programme.
Audience Reactions
People were generally positive. Multiple people used the word “futility” but with a positive intention. Which goes to show you can’t trust nerds.
To do
- Figure out how to deal with the Pipe Wire problem.
- Incorporate Flucoma
- Play this on Serpent because it’s more portable and I really do have more freedom of pitch.
Falls jemand das Workshop-Material von meinem #SuperCollider Workshop auf der #cfc25 nachlesen mag: Es ist hier auf meiner Website. https://the-emergent.de/cfc25.html (Da sind noch ein paar Glitches auf der Website, die werden demnächst korrigiert. Die Präsi und der Beispielcode sind das, was ich im Workshop verwendet habe.)

Starting to dive down the #supercollider rabbit hole. I figure that I learned enough coding over the years that I didn't enjoy, so I may as well learn to code for a purpose I appreciate - sound and (maybe, eventually) music. 
Today was a "brain says no" day. At least I spent a few enjoyable hours learning more about routing in JitLib.

Sound As Pure Form: Music Language Inspired by Supercollider, APL, and Forth

Chord sequence test. 9 voices distributed over ~600 synths.
I’m experimenting with a “partial stealing” algorithm. Each new sound scans the current harmonic state for partials with which it will form a dissonant relationship, and can then request that these partials be attenuated or muted and their corrsponding synths are freed.
The sounds share a limited pool of resources/synths and sometimes twist themselves into interesting shapes to make room for other sounds. #Supercollider

ah so tired
sleeping 3h per day
sprint time
today general rhrsl
tomorrow premiere
i wrote most of music in #SuperCollider
theres small tape players
and rpi zeros on stage
hope: my sc screen on a tv set (crt) on stage.
keep your fingers crossed for me for this show tnx
Ok, I want to run Hadron, which means I need to compile Hadron which means I need a Rust toolchain which means I need something called cargo which means I need something called cargo-features = ["edition2024"]
Which seems to be too new for ubuntu apt packages....
Or perhaps I've misunderstood?
i'm lkinda happy to succcesfully use the following #SuperCollider construct (it helps you avoiding creating audio busses to effect output from patterns)...
something like:
(
Ndef(\ex2, {
var snd;
snd = Ndef(\in, Pbind(*[
dur: Prand((1 .. 6) / 4, inf),
degree: Prand((0 .. 4),inf),
legato:0.1,
]),
);
snd = PitchShift.ar(snd, 0.2,
[0.505,1,2.01], mul:[2,1,0.4]).sum;
snd = GVerb.ar(snd, 100, 10);
}).play
)
