learning from other audio projects/radio archives exercise, manipulating/reading/transforming HTML cutups ... taking existing pages, looking at sources, saving (as local copies) and manipulating. (Maybe (not yet) examples with webaudio api / but maybe nice to have some examples to show that further filtering /effects is possible) HTML/CSS Question of the code editor + FTP/Filezilla access to the server + working offline

(notes below)

HTML/CSS continued Making a sound board / versioning Parliament What materials do we work with here? Can we use material from the hard drives? And ask the students to make snippets/jingles in audacity? (download tools: wget/youtube-dl) (ffmpeg to compress an MP3, place it in a HTML....)

Readings for next week

first I think the two articles Maria X posted are nicely relevant to what we’ll be covering next week, so give them a look:

@_Maria Χ|74 said:

Some nice readings:

(a) A link to the editorial of vol. 25, issue 2 (2002) of *The Journal for Media History*, which contains a long, very enlightning paragraph on the definition of "radio archives". The whole article (in fact the whole issue) is worth reading: https://tmgonline.nl/articles/10.18146/tmg.841

(b) An article from the same issue, good to skim through in order to understand the concept of "silent radio archive": https://tmgonline.nl/articles/10.18146/tmg.822

and second, a text from German theater maker and theoretician Bertolt Brecht, The Radio as a Communications Apparatus )

Happy Reading and see you next Monday!

Ahnjili ZhuParris: Machine Listening Workshop

How can a computer understand voice. Beyond applications like speech to text, tuning an audio recording into a text transcription, what other ways can voice be represented (pace, hesitation, changes of pitch). How can these representations be used to index and (re) order audio, and how can machine learning techniques be applied to group or classify audio. Beyond the hype of AI that can do anything, what is actually still a challenge for algorithmic approaches to voice. What dangers exist with these techniques, and how can one remain a critical practitioner exploring urgent and relevant questions while engaging with these new tools?

Ahnjili ZhuParris is a data scientist with a critical artist practice. She will also be participating at the Impakt festival in Utrecht this November.
