Today I woke up to my partner playing one of my Sudre's Violin tracks from 2023. It reminded me that I haven't gone back to listen to last year's farewell release, Figure 6. I like it!

Bandcamp Friday is today, and the album is only $6. Give it a listen?

My first peer-reviewed paper! "Queer(ing) Epistemology through Intersectional Data Science: Relational Knowledge and Affective Queries with TMI-WEB", co-authored with Dr Jess Parris Westbrook, was accepted by the Design Research Society!

The paper will be published in open access format later this year, and is being presented at the DRS conference in Edinburgh in June. You can register at https://drs2026.thedrs.org/home.

Is anyone working on an open data standard/protocol for moving context and history between AI platforms? Is this a path to more data autonomy?

This could be something for FOSS institutions to get behind as a practical contribution to the field. We don't need better definitions, we need that freedom you've been talking about all these years.

I got the nicest comment on one of my tracks today!

"These are fascinating sounds. Like some newly constructed instruments playing together in a cavern. Menacing and soothing at the same time. Wonderful track, I had to listen several times…”

Play counts and likes and so on mean nothing next to a personal message from someone who listened to your stuff and liked it. I'll be floating on this all day.

My book listed on oreilly.com? Me 20 years ago would never have believed it.

@ivory@tapbots.social Do you take bug reports by toot? Using the up-arrow to navigate to the top of the Notifications tab with unread notifications makes the "pull down to refresh" pane take over a big chunk of the window, even though there's no refresh triggered or happening.

This week's Disquiet Junto prompt was an invitation to work with sympathetic vibrations. No, not the New Age kind. I reached for an acoustic guitar and recorded this. As you listen: every sound you here is from the vibrations of a single instrument.

Best enjoyed with headphones.

The OSI was so busy trying to define what open source AI means that they totally missed the existential threat that LLMs and agents pose to open source itself.

Call me old-fashioned, but "I rented a robot that wrote some code" doesn't seem like participating in FOSS in good faith.
