Adam is a great teacher!

Dane Law @danelaw.bsky.social · 21d

in particular I love teaching Max MSP, my "desert island" software that I use in all my own music.

I've lots of experience doing workshops for this with total beginners (at London Music Hackspace and other places), get in touch if you want to learn.

Dane Law @danelaw.bsky.social · 22d

I'm available for private lessons (on zoom) on Max & Ableton, in areas such as:

- composing electronic music
- sound design & synthesis
- algorithmic music and weird shit

I'm a Senior Lecturer in Music & Sound Design at LSBU with 10+ years experience teaching at Goldsmiths, Brunel & Newcastle unis

Is there a browser without AI crammed into it?

Catgirl Martlet 🐦🐈‍⬛🌊💙 @zenithmartlet.bsky.social · Aug 29

Hey Firefox users.

Screenshot from a Tumblr post by ralfmaximus: Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference.

Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false:

If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false.

Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out

Anyone know of any available recordings of Tenney's 'In a Large Open Space'? Looking for a CD (etc.) rather than a concert rip.

Very happy to be awarded an Agility Award from @artscouncilireland.bsky.social to develop my improvisation practice. Looking forward to getting some somatic, musical, and environmental sound mentoring, and dedicated studio time.
