5000th toot!
#introduction time.
I'm originally from London, UK, now based in Alt Empordà. I make
#CreativeCoding #MathArt. I use Linux since 2004 or so, currently happy with Debian though I need to find something else to keep my remaining 32bit hardware up to date
#permacomputing. Most of my code is published under
#copyleft licenses.
I started making music on classic
#Amiga, using
#OctaMED SoundStudio until 2003. Then I used
#PureData until 2011, but mousing patch cables was increasingly not fun so I wrote pdlua to embed Lua in Pd and later fixed some things to let libpd be compiled with emscripten to run in web browsers. In 2012 I started
#LiveCoding music in the
#C programming language, which I still do.
Always interested in
#fractals, I wrote some libraries to support my investigation of the
#MandelbrotSet. I took over maintenance of Kalle's Fraktaler 2, but eventually I was fed up with its code and wrote Fraktaler-3 from scratch, to support deep zooming into hybrid escape time fractals. A companion program Zoomasm is for video output.
I have a lot of projects, most sleeping until I feel inspired to work on them some more. Currently working on Mandeltron, a thing that combines live-coding with the Mandelbrot set.
