Sometimes I am using spectral concepts in my pieces. This means that I need the detunings of various partials for various fundamentals. And since I… Read More »Spectral Partial Finder
Max introduced the dictionary data-type a long time ago. I have had very little experience with it other than setting and recalling custom presets, which… Read More »Max dictionary
Happy New Year and a wonderful 2020 everyone! As we have changed into a new decade I was reflecting on my compositions and how my… Read More »20 Years of Composing…
In my compositional practice I generally start with a formal outline of the piece. I identify timepoints of interest and then draw an outline that… Read More »Max to NoteAbility Pro: Networking
The [poly~] object in Max is a very powerful tool that, sooner or later nobody should ignore. Be it for the creation of polyphonic instruments,… Read More »Poly~ voice targeting
It is often times very useful to know the next bigger power of 2 from a given input. To do this I wrote a simple… Read More »Next bigger ^2
This is the second blogpost in a planned series dealing with procedurally generated terrain in Unity. I am gearing up to a project that will use terrain in a reactive and interactive way. In the first tutorial we talked about a single face containing 3 vertices and a triangle (with the appropriate winding). Today we will look at creating a larger, uniform mesh.
Read More »Unity mesh generation: Simple Mesh…One of my favourite tricks in Max is a very simple one: calculate the delta of two numbers. It is often very useful to know the delta values of a stream of numbers. Delta is the difference between successive values and if there is a sudden big change it could indicate that something, somewhere might not be going right…
Read More »Max DeltaThis is the first blogpost in a planned series dealing with procedurally generated terrain in Unity. I am gearing up to a project that will use terrain in a reactive and interactive way. I have only limited experience with Unity and am starting from scratch with procedurally generated terrain. As such I thought it would be interesting to share my progress as we go along as a sort of tutorial series in an attempt to solidify the concepts for myself. This first entry is all about vertices, triangles, and winding. So let’s get started…
Recently I inherited an old Kindle reader and wanted to use it to read academic papers. The problem with most of these kind of papers is that they are formatted into 2 columns.

I am digitizing some old notebooks but my current scanner doesn’t allow for double sided scanning. What’s even worse is that the even pages… Read More »collating scanned pdf files
I am getting to the point where I have to seriously test, debug, refactor, and document my Matlab code. I have already spent a lot of time on a first round of refactoring, changing my main file from many thousands of lines of code to a couple of hundred. This means I have many more Matlab functions cluttering up various folders.
Today I would like to show a simple and quick solution of how to create a tiled figure (in Terminal).
I am writing a paper right now and needed to show 8 related score examples in a single figure:

Ever since Apple “upgraded” Aperture to Photos I have had issues with my Photos library. I have over 250Gb of pictures and videos! Aperture managed it beautifully, but Photos seems to have issues (not to mention all the missing features!!!).
I added a new section under Research where I can post some A/V materials. Have a look here for the first post! Tracking Spatial Sound
After upgrading my failing HD to a new SSD I had to upgrade to OS X El Capitan. For various reasons (none of which really mattered in the end) I thought I needed to downgrade to OS X Yosemite.

and ls

This would match every file starting with “a”.

ls

While I was aware of the “Command Line” for quite some time, I have never had the need or time to delve into this daunting and sometimes scary environment. This changed when OSX (10.7 ?) started to hide the “Library” folder from us and I needed to access it. So I googled and found this:
