How do you plan to make it?
Practice
I have made the conscious decision to immerse myself in Free / Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS). Whether I’m flashing Ardunios or compiling graphs with Graphviz, GNU Emacs is my editor of choice. I’m running Arch Linux on my laptop and on the Klankschool Server. For my part, I plan to draw on the synergy of GNU/Linux while making the project.
Writing
I plan to keep making rapid prototypes and to generate concentrated outcomes through this approach to design. Writing down what I have done on a regular basis and posting this on the wiki keeps others in the loop about what I am doing. My writings should contribute to the reasons why I want to make this collaborative project.
Research
The project straddles different contexts. It is post-graduate research conducted in the context of the Piet Zwart Institute. It also engages communities, publics and audiences outside of this academic environment. For example, I held a long table discussion with ten people to open up a conversation about the possible benefits of a new community server on the block. …
Why do you want to make it?
- To raise awareness about the Klankschool.
- To make a work of art that can be exhibited at a cultural venue.

Relation to previous practice
In mid 2024, Rosa and I worked together on a performance titled Printer Jam. We gave the performance at Gulaschprogrammiernacht 22, in Karlsruhe, Germany. The video recording of the performance has been watched 245 times at the time of writing. Printer Jam brought live coding software and Arduinos together to breath life back into disused printers. Working on Printer Jam gave me some insight into how OSC has been implemented in Tidal Cycles.
I advanced this understanding further when I gave a talk at the 18th International ConTeXt meeting in Lutten, The Netherlands in mid-August 2024. ConTeXt is typesetting software which can be used to create PDFs. I was asked to give a live coding performance at the meeting. I decided it would make sense to make my talk relevant to the subject matter. Therefore, I set about live coding a ConTeXt document. A copy of the talk I prepared for the meeting is available on the XPUB wiki.
Relation to a larger context
Live Coding
Live Coding is a performance practice in which, with code, music or graphics are generated in real time before an audience (Ledesma, 2015, p. 112–117). I set up Flok, a collaborative live coding environment, on a subdomain of the klank.school website. Flok allows for networked performances which reiterate and re-imagine the social dimensions of free software. I hope that hosting such an environment may strengthen community relations between the Klankschool and Live Coders in the Netherlands.
Klankschool
A community and a space in South Rotterdam where people work with, learn from and teach each other about sound. The artwork which Rosa and I create will be publicised on the calendar. Code we produce for the piece will be shared on the Gitea. Audio recordings may appear on the Funkwhale. Files, such as photo and video documentation, can be uploaded to the server via FTP. Live Coding on the server's flok instance will likely feature in the piece itself.
