Twenty Percent: modified drone machine

Tue, 14 Jul 2020 23:05:03 +0200

You know what is a Sony MX-555? Yeah, me neither, before buying one dirt cheap on ebay. There’s not a lot of infos on the web… it’s an hifi mixer with echo included.

I was attracted by the echo thing, and I thought I could bend it, but, you know, probing on a 220V powered device is not a good idea, so, after some cold sweat and shaking hands, I decide to mod it.

CVLT Stylophone Bending (2007 reissue)

Mon, 22 Jun 2020 21:48:38 +0200

What’s a stylophone? It’s a curious instrument from the 60’s, according to wikipedia

It consists of a metal keyboard made of printed circuit board and played by touching it with a stylus—each note being connected to a voltage-controlled oscillator via a different-value resistor—thus closing a circuit.

Got this reissue from an ebay auction together with a Stylophone Beatbox (whose bending will come in the next weeks).

There’s no screws, but the bottom is glued to the top and there are 4 plastic clips, 2 each short edge. I used a small flathead screwdriver to separate the two parts, paying attention to avoid clips breaking.

Future Composition in Vert.x

Thu, 21 May 2020 14:13:05 +0200

For those who don’t know, Vert.x is an event driven and non blocking application toolkit. It’s polyglot, so you can use it with different languages (as Java, Kotlin, JavaScript, Groovy, Ruby or Scala).

What does “non blocking” mean? Link to heading

In synchronous programming, when a function is called, the caller has to wait until the result is returned. This behaviour could lead to performance issues.

VGA JAM

prologue Link to heading

Some weeks ago, I was struggling because my old 32bit laptop that I use for livecoding performance, is not powerful enough to run the great Hydra visual live coding platform (github), and I need something to give interest to the “visual” part of the performance.

One morning I woke with an intuition: “hey, maybe I could bend the VGA cable to produce some glitches!”.
Googling around I met CHA/V but was too complicated: buy stuff, build stuff… I just wanted to bend! My attention went captured by the works of James Connolly and his tutorials to bend audio into VGA cable and video into audio from VGA. CRAZY!
