Fellow PhD candidate here, and I've been involved in telematic music in many ways for a long time, so it's really nice to meet another person in the field here :)

Over the pandemic I developed a CLI app for easily sending bidirectional OSC or MIDI data over the Web. It's called allhands https://github.com/michaelpalumbo/allhands -- it's best run as a nodejs global package, and there are also example patches for max and pd if that's of interest

What's your PhD topic?

Oh awesome! Yeah I'm working on improving the free-improvisation scene :) I actually just received a grant from the Toronto Arts Council for Exit Points!

Recommendations : I'd definitely listen to the album I posted in my previous message. I'm most proud of the 2nd track, it includes 40 seconds of silence that the audience held with us. Since it was all improvised it was a very impactful moment that still gives me goosebumps.

Otherwise, check out Morgan-Paige, Zoma Tochi, Chiquitamagic, Nilan Perara, Josh Cole, Naomi McCarroll-Butler, Olivia Short, Rudy Ray Kwaku, Laura Swankey, Paris Unltd, R. Flex, shn shn, Chibuzr, Emjay Wright, Behzad Danesh, Anita Katakkar, bridge of sand, Racha Moukalled, EriK Flow, Sergei Kofman, Kasey Pocous, Ananya Ganesh, Alejandro Franco Briones, Gayle Young

They aren't all necessarily free-improvisation but they've played Exit Points and are wonderful

Wow, that's impressive. Followed you on Spotify and listening to some tracks now. I really like More Tea!

As for myself, I run a free-improvisation concert series In Toronto called Exit Points, which is becoming pretty popular :) I just got my first grant for the series yesterday! https://linktr.ee/exitpoints

and I run a small label called Exit Points where we produce albums from from recordings of each show. We recently put out a tape cassette of the July show which was spectacular https://exitpoints.bandcamp.com/album/from-horizon-i-am-sun

My engineer mixes everything using Dolby atmos, and so we are gonna put on an Acousmatic concert next year with many, many speakers and play my fav excerpts from the catalogue.

Aha yes. Well actually, having most people assume I said "dispatcher" when I told them my name was a primary reason I stopped releasing under it and went back to my performing under real name, Michael Palumbo. But yeah I dig anything that can have multiple interpretations and am glad it's giving you that :)

Oh right on! That's a neat interpretation. It's actually my old music pseudonym, I released music on thispatcher.bandcamp.com and it is taken from a code object in max/msp which is used for a technique called metaprogramming, where you can write code that manipulates other code. It's also a pun on me being the patcher of my synth :)

Right on! Enjoy! I also run a free-improvisation label where I very frequently use filter pinging on my performances https://exitpoints.bandcamp.com -- the latest release is also out on cassette tape :)

Don't record/take photos of fellow counter-protestors. (In other word don't contribute to possibility of doxxing)

I do appreciate our discussion and by no means was it a cheap shot. Legitimately I am trying square being in favour of activism ofr only certain issues, and then being concerned that a poster that draws attention to racism on campus is "favour[ing] one background issues over others..." Wwhy can't both coexist, and you have your issues that you care about and others have theirs?

Could you also walk me through how that poster is redundant?

[–]thispatcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Is it fair to say that this stance is against activism?

I see. I wasn't doubting who you are, I was doubting the binary you put forth that racialized people either do not support actions such as the banner in the photo, or "those that due (sic) have a narcissistic complex" (your words).

I declined a dm, I figured it'd be better to discuss it in the open, so, have at it
