==Prototype #1:==
'''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 and both music, I thought about making a publication/release/demo in one.
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.
