The (poor neglected) website’s been down for a while due to life being busy, but I’m still knocking around and at some point I’ll get it back up from some backups
18/ Hear My Train A Comin’ (Electric) by Jimi Hendrix. Mind blowing performance that I listened to over and over and tried very much in vain to learn how to play. Of all the cassettes I ever owned, this probably came closest to being worn out open.spotify.com/track/3cb9h…
Using delays in sync with the song (8th notes, quarter notes etc), offset them a few milliseconds to create a rushing or dragging feel for a section.

It's a fun synthesizer using blockchain data for bitcoin transactions to generate audio by @jacobajit. A good example of #sonification of data

Reading up on blockchain tech and wondering how it could apply to audio. Plenty of opportunity for decentralized music-marketplace or content protection type applications, but that's business stuff. More interested in generating audio like this site! :) jacobajit.github.io/blockcha…

I love the way he stands up to match the rise in pitch as seen on screen!

17/ On Your Own (Blur) - Could have easily given it to Paranoid Android, but I listened to Blur's self titled album a lot that year, and this was probably my favorite song from it, though I liked a lot of the darker stuff on side 2 of the cassette (yeah I was still buying tapes)

16/ The Day we Caught The Train - I was a guitarist by now and Britpop was in full swing. This song was the summer of 96 soundtrack

15/ Whatever - In the great war of Oasis vs Blur in the 90's I chose Oasis. Would have chosen differently today, but this was my 'last day of school' soundtrack song #AutobiographicalSongs

Interesting ML approach to sound classification mentioned in this video - treating it as an image classification problem by using spectrograms #ml #audioClassification #machinelearning youtu.be/F0-RiOqgG68
Anyone curious about sound, check out this awesome video by @NatAndFriends. It's about machine learning, but really makes you think about how amazing our own human auditory systems are → youtube.com/watch?v=F0-RiOqg… cc @ericrosenbizzle @kcimc
