Yeah, that seems like the low key "clever" part of the idea - instead of licensing the content, you are essentially just automating "directing the listener to play a track". It at least makes some common sense that the

I've had an idea kicking around for ages of setting up something like this for music commentary / radio - a "host" could set up a show and make commentary between tracks (or even during), and you'd source all the co

Shudder is pretty cool, though I don't maintain a subscription (I will sub for a month or two every now and then when I'm in the mood). I like the concept of streaming services that cater really well to one specific interest. I al

Wow, I love the way you incorporated the seventh degree - instead of an extra inner ring, just converting that one to show a diminished chord. The extra rotation of the inner circle is really clever too. That is awesome, thanks for sharing!

Mick Gordon did some fun hidden spectrogram imagery in the Doom 2016 soundtrack. He talks about that and plenty of other cool stuff in his talk at the 2017 GDC conference. One of my favorite conference talks ever, he did so much cool experi

This absolutely counts. This is such a great testament to how simple engineering and thoughtful design can do good in the world. You're a good son! Is there a reason besides preventing commercial use that you don't just have a PDF

Yes, this is a major unsolved problem to my eye. The cost of living in Columbus - while nowhere near the craziness of coastal cities - is steadily rising. Real estate in surrounding cities is also going up, and it's hard for me to imag

Yeah, I can imagine it would be tough to charge for this, especially on a recurring basis. If I was splitting a bill, and thought I could use this, but then it turns out I'm going to have to pay $5 or a monthly subscription or somethin

Wow, that's a pretty cool idea. Sounds like it has some potential for being productized!

Ha! The Final Sacrifice is on tonight. That's one of the very best MST3K episodes. I would love to do something like this for my kids. They're constantly begging to watch Youtube, which I limit pretty heavily. Something like thi

I live in Columbus, and over the next few years I expect a lot of shakeup to occur as a result of the Intel fab(s) being built nearby. It's been interesting to see the turbulence around Intel of late, given what a huge investment we&#x

One of my big "side projects" over the last few months has been my personal website and blog ( https://epiccoleman.com ). It's not very interesting per se - I mean, who doesn't have a blog these days - but it h

Even though it's definitely not sufficient for English spelling, I think it's pretty important to start with phonics. It teaches kids how the alphabet is supposed to work, and to be fair, it does work that way for most of the

That is a _huge_ distinction, which I didn't realize. I was trying out AIVA last week and fed it a couple Lotus songs I liked as source / inspiration - it correctly identified the key and generated a "riff" that was just

Ah yeah, dammit. I've already fixed the Gb diminished chord in the current source, but I was taking screenshots from old commits. I will definitely fix the transition with minor/major though, that's awkward. Thanks for the fe

Here's the Nirvana one: https://twitter.com/jackposobiec/status/1647295781190205440 To my ear, it's surprisingly good, but not quite good enough that I'm fooled by it. It might be good enough that

This is by far the best AI generated music I've heard yet, and marks the first moment where I started feeling some worry that this stuff is coming for music too. Up til now, I've been convinced (foolishly, maybe) that there was so

Morning all, this is a new post in my series covering the development of an SVG Circle of Fifths component for React. That component has just recently reached the point where I feel comfortable telling people to try it out and is MIT licens

I enjoyed this post a lot. I recently started blogging again after a long hiatus and have been having a lot of fun doing so. If I'm being totally honest, I think reason #1 that I started back up was vanity. I have a pretty cool domain

Hey everyone, long time reader, first time poster. This is a blog post I'm pretty proud of that I just released. It walks through building a Circle of Fifths component with React. This is the first in a series, and covers the initial l
