A re-release of Music Mouse, the intelligent instrument, is being worked on by Laurie Spiegel & Eventide. This one's special.

It was *much more expensive* than on Amazon, but we all know how Amazon keeps their prices so incredibly low, therefore supporting a different and EU-based infrastructure felt like doing the right thing.
So far it seems a wonderful book.

I just bought my first ebook outside of the Amazon 'ecosystem'! Tracey Nicholls' An Ethics of Improvisation
- Found it on ebooks.de
- Managed it via Calibre (maybe last time I used it it was in my Linux years, around 2006)
-Added it to Zotero
This is really bad: UdK Berlin Sound Studies And Sonic Arts Department is being phased out as a master's programme. Link to the petition below.

Looking forward to reading this book!! #anthonybraxton #creativemusic mastodon.social/@liberomured...
A preliminary test of my new solo project, using 'old' electronics and a minimal amount of it. Full text and video at the link mastodon.social/@liberomured... #linux #pianoteq #reaper #improvisedmusic
Installed Linux MX on my 12 yo laptop. After some tweaking, this old machine is perfectly playing and recording
My typical stress test for live setup (mostly done with ridiculously fast arpeggiators in real time) turned out so fun, that I'll continue experimenting with it!
Intense couple of weeks ahead! More details here: experimentalsoundingfinland.github.io
I'm so happy to play tonight with the wonderful students that have followed my and Veli Kujala's free improvisation course for the past two years! Tonight's concert is fully based on their ideas and concepts. Info: experimentalsoundingfinland.github.io/2025/03/31/b...
The new version is online (at the same url: experimentalsoundingfinland.github.io) π
What's new:
- Each event has its own page.
- The calendar page shows a condensed version for each event, making it easier to navigate the event list.
- Past event page (from the main calendar page).
The new version is almost ready! In about a week or two we'll be able to share it with everybody.
What's done (1/2):
- Condensed view to quickly navigate the event list.
- Each event has a different page, useful to share on social media and other platforms.
We are working on an update. Here's a *very* preliminary video, showing how each event will become a separate post (useful to be shared on various platforms), a 'condensed view' option to easily see more events, a dark mode, a working RSS feed, and social icons. Thanks everybody for your comments!
Finally, as always, the pleasure of closely working, for the concert and for the recording, with my very dear friend Harri SjΓΆstrΓΆm <3

It was played in an extremely difficult yet special moment of my life, but I have fond and happy memories of those evenings, the place, the wonderful musicians, singing Italian songs in the backstage with the other Italians... π
This record was just published! I'm super happy not only about the music, which I think is particularly beautiful and remarkable, but that the whole concert is published, unedited, resulting in a TRIPLE CD!!

While reading an article on Lyotard's use of the word 'dispositif', I found a mention of 'La RΓ©gion Centrale', an experimental movie shot using a robotic arm and preprogrammed movements. Extremely fascinating!

This is great! However, Bsky's decentralised nature is more theoretical than in practice and that's the main difference with Mastodon. Until now, it remains a centralised platform.
I wrote some thoughts concerning the recent exodus towards Mastodon and Bluesky on my blog, trying to describe the differences among the two. If anybody has comments or find mistakes, please comment here! I'll be happy to correct and integrate the text.
