| '''Introduction of main interests:'''
| |
| * 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:'''
| |
|
| |
| * 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)
| |
| * Program ([[https://irrlichtproject.de/houston/ Houston Tracker)]] is still not being used so much.
| |
| * 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: Wanna hear a 1-bit chord?
| |

| '''So, that worked. Let's speculate about the publishing / sharing possibilities:'''
| |
|
| |
| 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 receive a TI with the tracks on it (collected from thrift store / Marktplaats)
| |
| : mail it to people
| |
|
| |
| If interest arises:
| |
| : hands-on hardware to get started.
| |
| :See how tracks were produced might get people started
| |
| : enlarge interest, spread the word & expand community?
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| So this way, they can not only listen but also engage and possibly working with it.
