Session #1
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 ([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.
