Congratulations to LaserAnimation Sollinger for 40 years of building the most advanced graphics lasers in the world. None of my installations and performances would be possible without your technology - and without your generosity, too. Video from 'Fragile Territories' (2011)

The questionable joy of collecting old hardware: had great fun yesterday making new reverb presets with my mighty Dynacord DRP 20 reverb, just to learn today that they are all gone - the memory battery needs to be replaced. Meeeh :-( At least the unit is easy to service.

Monolake :: Gravity (Reissue) (Field) — First vinyl pressing
Monolake explore the earth and the heavens as well as man’s place in them, their soundtrack being sculpted with daring simplicity to achieve complexity and intricacy of expression and form.

look at this crooked punk mocking American laws. this guy's government is best known for human rights abuses and death squads. and now he says he has no control over the prison.
COLLINS: Can President Bukele weigh in on this? Do you plan to return Garcia?
BUKELE: How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? Of course I'm not going to do it. The question is preposterous
TRUMP: These are sick people

If you are in Paris - go there! I left the exhibition with a big smile on my face and tons of new ideas. James Turrell is amazing, and the works shown are fantastic. Totally blown away once again.

in all that evil madness, a photo that makes me happy. My Quantec QRS, working again. What a beautiful piece of German engineering this is.

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

A gentle reminder that the user of free social media is not in control: Instagram deciding to change preview from square to 5:4 format. I know why I host my own webpage and have everything I really care about there...

I work on a new laser based audiovisual performance. Currently revisiting some laser drawing code which I originally developed for a special NYE event in Modena, Italy in 2023.

for the nerds, a PDF explaining in detail how the kick drum sounds of my 'CBM 8032 AV' performance is are made. Soon this will be a webpage with sound examples and graphics of the waveform.
The preliminary / work in progress PDF is here:

Symbolic picture. I like nature, it inspires me. Working on a new big audiovisual live performance. I don't know yet when it will be ready. Writing lots of code, because I am very specific with what I want. There is nothing I can or want share, but I can share I am making progress.
