intro:
- interested in the meaning of using obsolete tech today: revisiting and explore it's potential instead of discarding it
- 'Zombie media'
- main interest in low-tech: reveal inner workings (transparency)
- implement it in today's workflow (audio/visual, programming, etc)
- Side interest: lo-fi music production and post-digital publishing
- Interested in working with limitations.
- creating workflows that reflect on what we use today
What I did for fun (not so deep):
> came across an DIY open-source project
> creates old calculators into a 1-bit music composing tool (instrument)
> uses the binairy output of TI-calculator to produce 1-bit sound
> 1-bit sound: on/off (real basics of electronics)
> Hardy anybody uses the program. Not finished yet.
> Bought the nessesary stuff to get it running. (very flimsy, hard to install but it worked)
> uses an audio input to load software (written in BASIC, same as C64)
> Demo: So wanna hear an 1-bit chord?
So, that worked. Lets speculate:
to spread this project, make a publication/release/demo.
Not only for the music as an artist, but also to spread the word about this project:
- I would write a 4 track album for it and release it on a TI-83.
- People that buy it would recieve a TI with the tracks on it (collected from thriftstore / Marktplaats)
- mail it
if interested:
- hands on Tech framework to get started.
- See how they were produced.
- enlage interest / community?
So this way, they can not only listen but also engage and possibly working with it.
