Benjamin Flesser - Modular Synthesizer
Building on my previous work with metastable networks of analog modular synthesizers in feedback with various organic systems, such as electron flow in plants or the activity of my brain regions, I aim to deepen my research into analog neural networks as feedback systems in order to develop new instruments and performance methods.
Of particular artistic interest to me is the exploration of different neuron models as a way to derive diverse functions, such as sound generators and modulators, from a large network of identical components, and to interconnect these functions. This represents an speculative approach toward an alternative to classical synthesizer models, or, to the standardized computer model (the von Neumann architecture), which consists of discrete units with fixed functions and more or less fixed interconnections.
Rather than focusing on the learning capacity of neural networks, I intend to leverage the transformability and material-specific properties of the circuits themselves.

Attended a Bob Ross style painting workshop with Paula 💙. Here is my painting 🥶. What are your thoughts? Roast me in the comments.

Coding Musical Patterns - Algorithmic Composition, Generative Growth, and the Music of Math
Mads Kjeldgaard
Saturday 25.4.26 and Sunday 26.4.26
11am - 4pm with breaks
at Morphine Raum
A two-day workshop diving deep into the theory and practice of algorithmic composition. At the end of this workshop, participants will have a firm understanding of how to use code, math and numbers to write beautiful, living and complex music. The workshop has a theoretical part that mixes traditional music theory and geometry to create a new understanding of pitches, rhythm and harmony, and in the practical part we will harness the potential of this knowledge to write music using the programming environment SuperCollider. The target audience of the workshop include composers, musicians, sound and engineers and artists of all kinds, but no prior programming experience is necessary.
Mads Kjeldgaard is a composer and sound artist from Denmark. He works mainly in the fields of algorithmic composition and interactive sound art, using self-authored software and hardware, generative processes, patterns, biology, and sound environments to create dazzling sonic structures.
In 2024, he founded the platform Exformal Records for sound and listening-based thinking. He studied electronic music composition at The Royal Academy of Music (DIEM) and is a member of The Danish Composers’ Society.
His work has been commissioned by NyMusikk, Aggregate Festival, The Norwegian Centre for Technology and Art, The Ultima Contemporary Music Festival, Intonal Festival, Aggregate Festival and Lemur Ensemble among others. In 2019 he won a gold award at the International Spatial Audio Conference.
He has worked as a technician and developer at The Norwegian Center for Arts and Technology (aka Notam), and as a software developer for music instruments at Torso Electronics, among other things. He is an open source software contributor, and shares creative technology through hyaline.systems.

SoundThread and The Composers Desktop Project
Jontahan Higgins
Saturday 28.3.26 and Sunday 29.3.26
Sat 13:00 - 19:00 with breaks
Sun 10:00 - 16:00 with breaks
at Pallas, Potsdamer Straße 172 c-d, 10783 Berlin
Online participation is possible for this workshop
This workshop will provide an introduction to working with SoundThread, a new node-based front end for the Composers Desktop Project (CDP). It will walk through the basics of getting started before exploring a number of examples of how SoundThread and CDP can be used to transform and generate sound.
CDP is a suite of offline audio processing tools for sound-transformation that offers completely unique ways of processing and generating sound. It has been in development by Trevor Wishart, Richard Dobson, Archer Endrich and Robert Fraser for almost forty years and in this time, it has shaped the progression of experimental electronic music worldwide. SoundThread provides a contemporary method of engaging with this software suite using a node-based approach to transform CDP into a user friendly, modular playground for offline audio processing.
No prior knowledge of SoundThread or CDP is required for this workshop.
Jonathan Higgins is a composer and performer based in London. His music focuses on exploring how noise can be utilised as a creative and generative tool. He works across a variety of different media, including fixed electroacoustic music, instrumental music, live electronics and sound installations. He performs regularly as an improviser using a custom setup of hand modified CD players. His music has been performed, prized and published both nationally and internationally.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
