 Hey, it's Anfa and you're watching my little video documentary about my trip to Sonoy convention 2017 the first the initial one It was my first trip to Germany and it was my first Lonely flight like it was the first time I took a plane alone. So it was it was something special Also, it was the first time that I was invited to take part And give a talk on a convention that is solely focused on what is one of my biggest passions music and Opens our software. So when I initially got asked if I will come by Nails Hilbrich I Answered it. I'm not a traveler type. So it will be awesome, but I really don't think I will make it then I called my girl and I Talked to her and I realized that I really just have to do this If I'm serious about What I do I I just have no other choice. I just have to do this. I have to be there so Yeah, so I answered Nails. All right I'm coming and my girl helped me and found me a cheap flight back and forth and I Bought my ticket Like I think it was the same day and then I rolled back to Nails and told him that I have my ticket already And what happened next is what you will see in this video My trip there How I flew there how it was in there how we spent the time and how I flew back Yeah, I hope this little documentary Loggy thing will give you an Immersion into how I felt how I Just was in that and that it was a unique event for me and I Know there are plans for sonoi in 2018 and I really hope it's going to go well and that there will be people willing to fund the new sonoi convention and the next sonoi conventions next year I Hope that there is going to be more and more sonoi conventions coming and that we will be growing and that the open source community will be growing and the open source musicians will be growing in strength and making great music and just spreading the good news about Open source software and music production So, yeah, enjoy this little documentary. I hope it's not gonna be too long All right, this is day zero of sonoi convention Hey, it's Anfa and I decided to make a real vlog this time because It's funny when you give names to things and you don't know what they mean So my aunt of log isn't really a vlog, but this is going to be a vlog So I just got back to work from to my home I left a one hour early because I just couldn't focus on anything So I decided to just go here and pack my things So I have more than one hour to do that because if I forget something important, I might mess up my entire show On half of it. Oh, there's a mess here I left up there and I gotta take the SD cards and quarter and the bill tickets and money and the CDs and and the GoPro accessories and more money and this and that I just made myself hot water for a tea okay I'm probably gonna do another entry When I'm on the airport already. All right, so I got for the screening already. I have to get rid of my water I'm not sure why water is considered deadly on the plane Now I just have to wait until they open the gates and I can hop on the plane I just noticed that I left My headphones in the car these things. I have no headphones and I plan to rehearse on the plane Do some stuff and testing crap. I'll have only meters. Good thing you haven't left them in the cab Maybe I should just take a rest Sleep instead of rehearsing. I'll have to borrow some or buy a cone Crap. For any minutes, we're gonna make it for the tram or the S-Bahn plane to catch and cone Two minutes late. Nils All right, so a stranger told me that there is a quick parking space There. I have no idea if that is what I'm supposed to find All right, another stranger woman told me that there is an information desk Somewhere there. There's no one there Maybe there is a desk, but there's no one at the desk to ask All right, so I asked another little stranger and they told me that the parking Quick parking site is indeed in the direction that I was headed and that's over there Somewhere Somewhere there. It's the place where I should be Maybe I'm gonna call Nils and ask him directly for some more instructions if I don't find this stuff There should be some numbers There gotta be some numbers. Oh, there is a number. There's some numbers. I see six and eight You probably can't see it There's three Is this that? No, I don't think so. This is This is bus stop. I'm not headed for a bus stop. No Huh? Just tell me something Nils is there. I'm not you're gonna call them You can have us Great little call function button thingy Hi Nils Do I see you? You wow I was quick How was the quickest thing ever? Hi there. Nice to meet you in reality. I'm doing a vlogging thing. Yeah I think it might be fun afterwards especially with all the trouble I Asked three groups of people Nobody knew but people said hmm. There's some parking site. Maybe it's that and I was like Some numbers. Oh, there are some numbers. But no, these are bus stops. Yeah, not the numbers. I was All right, I'm glad that well you found me pretty quickly Yay All the important stuff goes there. I Oh I hope my delay is playing didn't make everything Thousand times more difficult for you. No problem. I Like to organize and I like to solve problems. I like to solve problems, too I think that's why people like me at my work Because I solve their problems and I'm smiling because I like solving problems Take it Is Is that Did you give me the number 42 because it's like you register online for a place here? No, no It's actually the parking lot number 32. Wow I can't sign that it has a number. There's actually a sign. Oh my but we can't see from here Just when you when you drive in I think Okay, that's funny. How was your flight except the delay? Did you have a nice travel time? Yeah I forgot my headphones so I couldn't listen to music or make a music or test my setup but I could play a game on Steam that I downloaded on the airport Wi-Fi when I was waiting for my play This is a machine for paying for your parking. Yeah, I take a trip with you. I had a lot of sitting This loss So they they built this parking like a maze so you have to pay more because you can't get out You go back our car shift hijacked Now you pay ten times more And then when you get there they say, oh we change your tires And your brakes were faulty so you have to pay us extra for sitting alive. So this one Well, you should Give us what we need or take what it means. Oh, isn't it? It looks like an eye So yeah, but it's you exactly it has this wide like narrow vertical iris It's the eye of sorrow and it's money It gives money to Are there other airports in Cologne The only one these that's the biggest one in Cologne. Let's go again Also the window is broken It doesn't open it does open but I'm not sure If I get it up again alright So it's actually the car of my mother The old car it's 25 years old It's just one year I'm just one year older They were very clever because they put these bumps on the road so you can't drive Aligning to the right side of it. You have to drive to the left side, but still You can be too far away if you To find the parking spot sit here rather No, I'm just recording Maybe I will publish this maybe not Everything that shouldn't be there Okay, are you using something like DWM? Just eat something and get to sleep because otherwise I'm gonna be non-functional just tomorrow You're talk to be sponsored by Who is that Oh absolutely, I'm gonna be using his new interface and showcasing it Make sure to that I asked you because it may look like a corporate sales pitch Yeah, if you're in talk is fond of I mean I know it's not so for me It's okay, but I don't know how it's gonna look for the public Am I supposed to say that it is that way or you're going to tell it? I'm you're going to be like the maestro. You're gonna be announcing. Yes, I one more thing for these Sponsored messages I Have uploaded One PDF file because it's it's with a with a name so it shows up in the recording as written text So we need to show that To the audience and to the camera. It's it's nonsense if I take my laptop Connected shortly before audio talks just to show this name and then Plug it back put it back out and put yours back in so yeah I think the better option is to you just show one. It's one pdf. I have uploaded this to so now Slash and then just a dot pdf So it's a dot pdf and all you need to Once we are there Download this or just open it in a browser and be ready to show it and site Well, why do you want? Why do you want it distributed between the dogs? Because it's just a fun idea They have like Like this way Website was your name in front. I can take Robin because I'm using it Me too Not necessarily in this one The distribution now is without any meaning the real meaning. Yeah, it's just that we just face it out Yes This can be done quickly Go install cake studio. Yeah, we don't I don't say actually this is sponsored by yeah, I just say that's a pity No, we think Am I a possible? Yeah, would it be okay if I just made it a little bit funnier and said this talk is sponsored by Zinnots of effects no seriously Yeah Awesome, because like you can even use bad words. Can I I have one by the word but I but I I have I have one word word, but I but I just beeped it out in case it wasn't okay for the streaming or something You don't know what to do this sort of shit out of it. Fuck. Yeah Beware I'm sure kids are gonna watch it Let's go there let's crash into them After the top let's open Let's let's make a live. Oh, actually totally make live You just blur the Microsoft logo. Actually. No, by the way. No, I don't think so Microsoft is the only company that that actually supports open office format better than Better than open office I thought that but you have thought that Microsoft had the reference implementation of these formats But the previous version it was quite crappy probably now it's better actually it's nice I'm glad to see that Microsoft office supports that because I can send all the files and people will chew them up and not say Oh, what is that? They know that it took some time before they catch up It wasn't like oh, we should support this immediately I mean you can run linux stuff and Microsoft and they inter-corporated bash show to win those 10 That's also cool. Although you can install x11 and some other stuff and do graphical Even graphical native I don't want to do an OS with tracking just let me keep my linux Or maybe free BSD When linux gets too popular then you know No longer special Hi, cool. Hi cool. Yeah, like BOS. I run it once It's interesting. It looks completely like from another dimension That's what's so special because it doesn't use any of the fonts or the mouse or cursor or the icons I know from new linux systems. Yeah, nothing. It's every pixel is from another world They have their own the native stuff They only have one thing like windows has explorer when make you have the cocoa core On linux you have everything and put in an Ico BOS you have their own it's time to fix everything that we broke. I learned Sherlock back to the work I This is okay all right so let's check all the connections we have we don't yet have them because I need to run yeah that's the usual thing Mike's I know you requested this to not go down That's why I bought a stand with a chain there Just We have the sound card in here in the box now is the question Yeah, maybe I just play you some music from my head from my phone and reboot this what do you think good idea pseudo reboot bitch and then finally it worked yeah let's begin the next talk and I want to take the opportunity to do we have the PDF yeah a big thanks to Mark McCurry more or less coincidence it's not a sponsored talk or anything we will see his Mark McCurry software in the talk as well I I think because it's in the title it's sin at Starbucks and also thank you Hans Peter partner for sponsoring and donations okay so with that please welcome and for for his talk synthesizing EDM with other and soon at Starbucks yeah I'm on hey welcome to Sonoi so we're gonna make some music but I would like to ask you some questions the first one is who is the first time on Sonoi this year shit all right sorry I just couldn't resist to ask us to good question the second one is do any of you know who I am because I'm gonna introduce myself to those who doesn't but I'm just curious have anybody watched my videos maybe wow anybody listen to my music wow nice so that was it for those of you don't don't know me my name is Tobias Karoń and I use an internet moniker ANFA I'm making a shrink music for a longer time I started off with FL studio but I wanted to do something legally and without having money I had to resort to free software and later open source software before I begin I want you to take a part in a little thought experiment so close your eyes please close your eyes imagine that we are on a huge stadium and the stage is five meters high and the speakers are 15 meters high and there are thousands of us and we're all waiting for the bass drop one for the freedom two for the show Richard Stan then we go what didn't happen in any rehearsals What? What is this? You now have to make a decent trap in FIFTY BORN FOR ATLANTICS CURRENT. I can't believe he made this! Shoot! So ridiculous! And yes, it's so funny! Alright, so maybe just shut up and let me do music. So, we have a good motivation. At least. And then went on, I'm not gonna show all of that to you. The link to the whole talk will be in the description. You can watch it on the Computer Club Colón website, or there's a YouTube version also. Both of these will be linked in the description, so you can watch them separately if you want. Alrighty, right now. We are there, then we're done with this. Computer farts. Binbash, yeah. I've just realized I'm such a Linux nerd! So, having that said... Yay! We made it! Do you have any questions? Can you change the order after you've already set the parameters of your effects, and you can, after you've set them, decide to instead put DQ before the distortion? Is that possible? I'm not sure. I think it's not right now. You can copy and paste effects, so you could do a weird thing, copy it to somewhere else. But I think we should file an issue on GitHub for that. Just like that, you know? When I have ideas like this, I go to GitHub and type, make it possible to switch effects in the rack, the order, just without doing weird stuff. Yeah. So it's not right now passable, but I should write it down, you know? Nano. Switch effects order with arrow buttons, or something. Cool. Yeah, thanks. Okay, then, thank you very much again, and I think it was another round of applause. Now we're going to get some pizza! I mean, this one... Trying to order the pizza. Can't decide. Actually, it's a big tradition for me personally, the Linozada conferences, in Germany at least, where I translate the cards for 20 people or so. And then you memorize all of that. Why? Yeah. You memorize everything and then all languages, not everyone. The pizza is over. It's like a moving selfie. It's like a moving selfie. Well, we did pay touch. Not too cold, it's pleasant. Luigi's performance. I actually dropped everything that I have made so far. Making impression. The voice. If not, I'm going to record it in post. And put my face like in a GIF or something, I don't know, make a meme. So it's solo then one out. It was a lot of cool stuff. And a lot of music. I really liked your set. I never really listened to this kind of music. I never really enjoyed Deep House, but being in this place, yeah, it sounds better on speakers. Yeah, and it also puts you in the right mood. Yeah, in a way this music is designed to do exactly that in this setting. It's not for listening in headphones. Yeah, it's for dance floor. It's just for moving. No, actually my set turned out better than I thought it would. Awesome. It turned out great, right? It sounded seamless. I can put my thing too. And the water bottle, which is empty. All the headphones are going to be crushed. I don't know. I'm going to take it with me. I'm going to take it with me to avoid destruction. Destruction. Nils, do you have a CD player? I have a CD. Did you sell all the CDs? No, they're still left. How many? Kind of like the half. But like four or five people ask her, if I'm going to be tomorrow because they don't have the cash, and they want to buy it. Really? Yes, they said, we read in your set that you're a skeptic and you're ready for a special debate. We make a poster. I thought maybe she would not be interested. We make a poster. They said that tomorrow they want to have a conversation. We're just with the logo and saying very awesome music. Bye now. I always ask the same question. Very awesome music produced entirely with Linux and open source software. Including the cover. You hear better reasons. And what you currently know. The cover was printed. The disk, I specifically booted the Linux to burn the disk from K3B and I printed it from Linux too. Most of the time. I work mostly with Linux. So you wouldn't do it normally? So I wouldn't do it with Windows Media Player. One copy was done with Windows Media Player for the record, but the rest was, I think it was a test copy. That wasn't sold actually. All the copies that I sold were burned with Linux. K3B. I remember the days that... Actually, I hope they didn't come really late on Windows. I think I would just want to be... But it's funny. In Germany somebody comes more. It took some years, right? But it's there. It's awesome. I really like it. There's this one problem. I wanted to make a hidden track. Hidden to the first pre-gap in Glory or Disk. And it didn't work. I have to report a bug. I wonder if there's still people developing it. Oh, by the way, I almost did not do my set. Mix actually failed. What? I had to redo a lot of things. So remember I said I wrote two techno tracks? Yeah. So I added them to the library. You know, I added beat grids, everything. And then I rescanned the library. And all the tracks disappeared by these two. And it would not see any other tracks. Oh dear. And only until I removed everything. It saw everything, but no beat grids, no hot cues, anything. So I removed the whole folder. I removed the new tracks. And I took the backup which I had. And I did it again. I just did not rescan the library. So it seems that if I move the library from one computer to the other and I do a rescan on a new computer, it will delete it. Oh man. I don't know why. Report a bug. Fuck them. Ugh. I hate that shit. Oh man. It's just a typo somewhere. No, they have this database. I think it's like SQL lite database or something. It will take a look at it. Maybe there's something wrong with it. Yeah. They say it's quick. The thing with bugs is that they will never fix it. That's the thing. You say, oh file bugs. If it's Rui, I can file a bug because I know he'll fix it fast. These guys, they will fix it maybe in several months. And also they are actually very unresponsive. And many of them don't understand English. Like I wrote their forums and some developers, like one developer responded like I'm in very bad English. Like I don't know what you're saying. If they have a bug, just add it to whatever, whatever they have, like rep or whatever. Yeah, just add it there. Yeah. Just add the file a bug. I'm like, okay, I guess it's not going to be fixed anytime soon. Well, at least they respond and they say to report. You know, everybody does what they can. And it's hard when you're not paid to do this daily, right? Oh no, no, no. I understand that they know nothing to me. I'm just saying that I'm reluctant to really file bugs. I'm more ready to actually look and release myself. Yeah. If it's quicker? Yeah. I mean, maybe it's quicker. Let's see if I can find a program to open it. It's like db file, I think. Yeah. Dot db, what is this? Yeah, you can open it some kind of SQL. Some kind of SQL. I know a SQL. I'll take a look. I once tried to merge SQL databases from Hamster Time Tracker. You know that one? Nope. It's a very nice program to bring your project and the time you spend doing them. And it can generate some nice reports and have categories and tags. Yeah, I know the software. I just haven't used it. I understand what a Time Tracker is. It's installed by default with Debian, I think. And when I switched systems I had two databases and I wanted to merge them because I had some really important data in the old one and it was split to the new one because I was continuing a project on a different system. And I couldn't merge the two databases. It was like, Ah, screw it. I can't fucking... I can't make a report. I can't analyze how much hours I put into something. I don't know if it was 80 or 160. I just gave up on that. We scanned and then removed the files. Yeah, there are then... But you know, in my current company we use some open source software where the actual author is very rude to any bugs or requests. So sometimes people... I've seen some bugs there. Like, you report a bug or make a request and the guy just says, Hey, this is stupid. I don't agree with it. Close. Actually... Where are you working? Where are you working now? Smart buildings, IoT stuff. So it's something to do data monitoring. Because I guess it's used for work stuff. The guy gets that a lot of times so he doesn't have patience to deal with them. You're stupid. It is very... There's a stupid ticket result. You suck. Ticket result. It is very fun to read when you actually have an error and need some help, then... I remember I wrote to... Who's the author of IELOS? IELOS or something like this organ software. Very nice, by the way. Yeah. Phones, right. So write a fonts without any thought just writing fonts. I love the software. Thank you for creating it. His response, I won't do anything for you. Or something like, don't file bugs, I will not fix it. Oh, don't ask for new features. But he's very good, right, in terms of DSP. He knows, yeah. Is he working? He knows the tactics but doesn't know how to... He's actually working in Germany, South Germany. He's Italian, I think, but he's working in South Germany. But like, is he doing DSP for work? I think he's... Yeah, no, I don't think music, but scientific signal. Yeah, I think for Huawei, the company, I think, Huawei. You know, the ones that make phones. Oh. Ah, Huawei. Huawei, yeah. Oh, that's my phone. So he's working for the company that does these phones, by the way, pretty crappy. I remember this question. They are crappy. This is the light version. Yeah, if you go to the version, when you put it back, it's the same. Don't send me back. I want to air it for you. Yeah, this is Huawei P8 Lite and the fact that it's light shows, it has some parameters that are not so good because it's a light version. It's cheaper. So, I have the Huawei Shot X, which is the premium P8. Ah, is it good? Yeah. Yeah, it's good. It's Shot X because I can show you. It has a very special thing. It only has one camera. Mm-hmm. So it's a very good camera. By the way, this video isn't sponsored by anyone. Really. So, I was looking for my jacket. I was sure I left it at the place, at the venue. And it turns out I didn't. It's there. I left it on the door. And after I finished the G-set, everyone was trying to help me find it. They were asking how it looks and I described it and it's gray and green. Everybody was looking at it. The wallet is inside, you know. The wallet is inside. Yeah. I was kind of a little bit worried. If someone took my wallet, I'm gonna have trouble getting to my homeland. Identity. And if I don't have my document, I'm screwed. People should have an ID chip. I know someone who has a chip in my ear or something. And it's a government ID. No, but it's to buy stuff. You know those things that you... Pay pass? Yeah. So it's to actually buy. You don't take out the card. It's just like this. And you buy stuff. People look at you very weird. That is cool, but I wouldn't do this to myself. No, no, no. And I wouldn't recommend it. Don't do it. Please. The things might get... I don't know. You might get sick from it. Yeah, and for example, if you fall and you're hurt, you might be hurt more if you have something, a piece of metal under your skin. Yes. Yes. And if you get into a microwave, it might explode. What the fuck? You want to get the money? And I have to get it. And yum. Wait, wait. You know, I actually thought about it, but since you were leaving, I guess... No, no, it was... Speaking about the money... We agreed to meet here. Ah, okay. Good. Then you just have to... Luigi, could you hold the camera for me? Yep, I'll do that. I want to do something. Don't feed the cat. Yeah, we're not feeding the cat. I need to have something. Yeah. Make it rain. Make it rain. So can you see what's recorded? No. It's a blind... What about this one? What is this? It's a... It's a battery. Oh, okay. Pull it out. It's gonna shut down. Is it blind? It's super wide. Yeah, it's wide. It's like... You can see me right now, yeah? Yeah, I guess I can see you right now even. Your face is going to look weird. It's gonna. Oh, yeah, sure. That I don't know. I wonder how well it's recorded in the car. I mean, I think it's distorted. We could check it out. The important thing is the audio, though. Yeah. I think the audio when we're discussing fonts, that's priceless. I think the audio will be good because there was no much background noise in the car. Actually, pretty low. Yeah. Okay. So Nils is going to sleep. Yeah. And guess what Luigi is doing? Luigi is taking a shower. Yeah, Nils. Can you hear it? He's playing techno as he's taking a shower from his phone. That's ridiculous, right? It's not? No. I think it is. I don't listen to music when I take shower. I sometimes go with headphones and listen to music when I'm in the bathtub. I know people that would go to speaker things always in the shower. Sometimes the phone when you don't have it. It's funny, actually. All right. Some people are watching like a stream, a live stream. They connect the computer to the thing, then you go to the bathroom. You want to keep, you know, hearing the stream. Well, at least it's for music content. But it sounds like it's a loop on repeat. I don't know. Probably we don't hear detail that makes the change. No. It's melodic music. Yeah. It's subhuman music. Subhuman music. That's ridiculous. This day was so awesome. I just, I wish it the whole week was like that. We have to go back to working today. Yeah. I wonder if we could maybe during vacation sometimes, like take some days off and make a four day or five day sun eye, like a big one. When everybody just, what will be very hard to coordinate, you know, everybody's holiday, holidays and, you know, take off from work. And depend on location as well. Yeah. And different countries have different, probably different times in the summer for that too. If it's in Europe, usually it's okay. Berlin is quite in the north. It's not the best place, I think. But still, the most central place. Though we have a lot of people in Berlin now. Children have holidays in school so they can just fly somewhere and have fun. But when you have work, you don't. Well, we can do something for Christmas, I guess. Although people probably being with the families. Yeah. Lifestream for the families. Like the Christmas tree. Wish you were married. At least you still have energy. It's amazing. I'm quite fired already. I think performing music consumes so much energy. Even if you don't perform, you can just dance to it and play it, actually. But still, it takes so much energy, but it makes you have even more. It's weird. Interesting. Perfection. Mobile. I never was a party guy. It was once in my life. I went to a concert of a colleague. He played in a joke band. They played silly, stupid disco music, but with guitars. And they were dressing up. It was fun. And when they left, a DJ started playing and they played music they liked. And I just stayed there. And I stayed for, I don't know, six hours. And one DJ ended and I got to another part of the building and there was another DJ. And it was the last one to leave. So I high-fived the DJ and I thanked them at home. I couldn't hold my head straight because my neck muscles were so tired from me dancing with my head because I like to do it like that. My head kept falling and it was very painful and hard to keep it vertical. So yeah, that was just once. It should be fun. I guess it can be fun. But it's not fun. I don't think it's so fun when you're doing it alone. Probably if you have people who also enjoy this, it's much more enjoyable. It's a group of people. Like Samoy. Yes. Crashing programs and... The issue is that these things take a lot of time, operation, work. To be able to play. To make the entire event. Yeah. And actually we have live stream and people working there. So we actually have to play with people. Yeah, we... It's all because of the donations that we could... The mills could rent the venue and pay the people to do the live stream. And take care of the microphones and PA. Now is the first point if everything goes well. Maybe we have another one next year. I really wish we will. With even more people. Yeah, maybe... I think this venue is great. I really like this place. We wouldn't want to switch it. Just because there's more people. I don't know. Is there a bus? If there's more people, like if there's twice the amount of people next year, we will probably need a different venue. Because this one is too small. We wouldn't fit. Yeah. But... I mean we have a limited quota of people. Also it all depends on how much people will be willing to donate money to make this possible, actually. I mean you could get sponsors, but people would be quite happy to not have them. There's a trade-off always there. It's really nice to see this made by people for people. It's just a community. The community feels that something is needed and makes it. And the community empowers people who can make it. It gives them the money. Other people from the community come and make the show. And it's awesome. I hope it's gonna improve, really. Is it a good motivator to keep working on stuff? Yeah, because when you see how it interacts with people, what you do affects other people, how they enjoy it, how they use it. You see that they care. It's not like you're wasting your time doing this. It matters something. It's not thrown into the void. It's actually having an impact on people's lives. And how they create, how they develop as humans, as artists, or just how they enjoy their time. The thoughts, sorry. But it's true. Because we have to do the presentations, we actually have to work on the software. And actually have to do some last-minute fixes and new things to be able to do and things that are a little bit more exciting. You're doing another stuff tomorrow? No, I'm just because if I leave stuff unfinished, it gets in my head and I cannot really sleep well. If I can finish this and everything, then it will be a little bit better. You're finishing code or just writing to-dos? No, the code. It's just making things... Wow, it's Karlo plugin host. Man, it's the code. It's the code, you know. It's a sacred. So sacred. Sacred. Sacred? Yeah. I mean... There's a lot of bad things there if you actually know what it is. Yeah, I mean it doesn't have to be perfect to be sacred. Like, people are sacred, they are not perfect in a way. Many people would argue with that. I mean, it's just my opinion. It's amazing. To be fair, I do some programming at work, but I only do it in Bash. Not in C or C++ or anything like that. By the way, do you think it would make sense to make a really nice real-time spectrograph? It's a bit silly because when Harry VanHaren asked me during the Q&A near the end of my presentation on PSY, what do I miss in the open-source music production software world? I pretty forgot, but what I really miss is a nice configurable musical real-time spectrograph. Something like a sonic visualizer only in real-time, or like Bodline, but really open-source, not dual-licensed, you can't really use this code open-source-ishness, not really, without logarithmic scale. Yeah. Please code something. The next audio that we can use for research and live visualization of what's happening in the sound. Yeah. People, you told me that it's probably pretty simple, because there's already libraries to do fast Fourier transforms. Yeah, the technique to get this to work is called the fast Fourier transform. There's just one problem with it, and it's that the resolution skills linearly, so if you want to get a lot of data, then if you then convert that data to a logarithmic scale, which we need for musical stuff, then the resolution in the lower frequencies is really poor. So you have to do some trickery with, overlapping, yeah, just calling the fast Fourier transform multiple times, which is actually less efficient, because the complexity is N times log of N for the fast, don't quote me on this, I might be wrong, but the complexity for the fast Fourier transform is actually quite good, but the disadvantage is that you don't have control over whether you get linear samples from your frequency or logarithmic. You mean the scale of the frequency scale? Yeah, that's just how the math works. There's a very efficient mathematical... For the linear frequency scale? Yeah, to just get a linear range of the frequencies very, very quickly. The droning from the bathroom. Luigi is still taking... I can't, I can't sleep like this. It's too interesting, it's just too interesting. We have you all here. I know I have to sleep, but it's just... I have to, I have to... I think I just have to make a video from all this, because it's really... I don't know, I'm just gonna sit for two weeks and all my free time and just cut, cut, cut, and then I'm gonna send out... Wait, you don't have an editor to do that for you? At the moment? It takes a lot of time. Like a person, an editor as a profession. No, because it sounds very weird if I'm recording myself then editing the things I'm speaking with myself, because I don't like to hear my own voice or look at myself. Well, I think you don't really have to be Brian Lander to just get to like your face, and you can get used to it. Also, I remember when I was recording first cassette tapes back in the early 2000s, I used to hate my voice and I thought it sounds weird and childish and high-pitched. Well, because that's exactly how it sounded back then. That's natural. When you listen to your voice enough, you start to really learn how does it sound from the outside and it kind of meshes together with how you hear it from the inside because of the bone conduction and we usually hear ourselves much more bassy and radio-like than we sound in the outside. But when you learn how it sounds from the outside, you realize it sounds normal, just like all the other people. By the way, you might not have noticed that I'm just constantly blinking and that is because I have some problem with my eyes and occasionally they just start hurting. That's usually happening when it's late in the evenings, sometimes late at night if I don't sleep enough. I tried figuring it out but so far, any doctor I contacted about this just sent me to a different specialist and well, I'm in the process of trying to fix this. However, after years and years of suffering, I discovered that this thing kind of works. You can use that. I hated my voice when I first heard it on a tape recorder. I thought it sounds weird. You have to edit your own recording on a video? It's really, really, really strange initially. I read an article about that and they said that it was because the cavities and openings in your mouth and head area make your own voice sound a little warmer which makes it sound very unexpected if you be hearing it on a recording. You hear yourself way deeper and more radio-like than you really sound. See? I told you! But the thing is, it's all relative. If you listen to your voice enough, you start remembering how it really sounds. You start remembering how it really sounds. Hi! Hi there, bald man! I heard you were playing some techno beats under the shower, it was fun. I made a documentary about it. Oh, thank you. I will prompt you to verify if it's not breaking any community guidelines of YouTube or something or your own. But if nobody will have any... I am witnessing this strange stage today. Anything to say about it? I'm just going to publish it because it's fun. So he isn't from Russia. They go naked into ice water. And then they drink vodka. Then they go underwater and they drink vodka underwater. And they can do that perfectly. It's either way. I had a case of that actually when I was doing German class. I had a Russian guy. It was almost snowing and the guy was just in shorts. Yeah, everything is cool. Everyone was in jackets. It's so cool. Luigi playing in Vietnam. Want some drone bass, man? Yeah. But look what I have. You can film this. Wow. Awesome. Now we need some ultraviolet and all dark blue. Yeah, I think it has some special... Yeah. Oh, it's... But I think it doesn't take a lot of time to start beatboxing. Let me... We need to eliminate Luigi's shirt so it catches energy and then it can emit it back. We can paint you something. And then I will make a light show. Yeah, I just hope it had enough light to show, you know? I didn't think it had enough light to show. It was lying in the dark. It was glowing yesterday. Okay. Oh, there you go. Yeah, painting lights. That's amazing. It's cool. It's fading out like an old CRT. Yeah. I don't think the camera can catch it. If I had a very bright flashing light... Oh, we should film it now. We'll film it right now. That's a laser raptor. Laser raptor. Fuck! That's a laser raptor. I thought the wedding sink thousands of years ago. Good luck to you, Kung Fury. Good luck to you, Kung Fury. Thanks, Thor. We have a laser show. Okay, guys, we're filming this for a future video. Nils? No, but remove the lights. Okay, Nils, I'm starting. Can I start the music? No, it doesn't matter. I'm scaring the laser. I'm getting it, Nils, I'm getting it. It's very grainy, but let's see if we can figure it out. I thought it was back hitting thousands of years ago. Can you actually give a little light slightly above? Actually, that's not the trick. Why does it turn off? Come on, flash more. You can see there's the wall. I'm going to project your shadow on the wall, it's going to be cool. This is artistic. We should have a beat so I can sing it. I tried it, but did you see my video where I did this kind of stuff? Let's show them the video. I didn't. I saw the headbopping song. Nils, can we show them the video on this big screen? The first time we've seen the video. You don't want to see it, don't do it, don't do it. I actually reached out from back because they were talking about San Doga Rhythmic. I was talking to my phone. This is the thing that I did for the Deadline demo party last year. I love it. Demo party. I love it. It was so awesome to be there. Really? Demo party. I was in the middle of asking if there would be... It seems to be doable to make a musical spectrogram. Spectrogram, actually. I say this all the time. Everything is doable if you have enough time. Do you think it's needed? No, we'll do it. I mean, I don't actually use it for the fact that I know it looks nice. They all have it on the back front. It actually would really benefit from something like that for the videos. Because it makes you understand what you're hearing better. You know the Apple Studio? Very similar thing. Wait a second. It's on YouTube, you don't have to film it. It's on YouTube guys, you don't have to film it. The experience of watching it is not on YouTube yet. It's a reaction video. You know what? We can then split edit in a picture-to-picture. We can put this... Sit down, because I've seen it before. I think I'm gonna spill my tea. Wait, I can put it in the laptop, you know. That's also true. Wait, let's see. Okay, he puts it on the laptop. The bigger the better. Is it the headbopping song? No, it's different. Headbopping song in this year and this was last year. Lou Gebrona, just find my channel. Don't look at anything about the demo scene. I'm not looking at the demo scene. Yeah, it's not here. I was watching some demos. There are animations. They always repeat and try to... Make it as interesting as possible. Make it as interesting as possible, but it's like a mystery. You have 8 kilobytes of binary code to run it. The shapes, of course... There you go. He opened the sound, he let it go. And do it full screen. And sound. The tradition is to make it comparable. They all do the same shapes. We can sync it with the audio. Is there the audio? But then you're also getting into... I don't hear it. The thing is that the audio shouldn't be here right now. But the audio is there, yeah? In the same way. It's almost maximum. I think it's not. Do you have pulse audio jack bridge running? It should be at least a hiss. Start it again, just start it again. This is so difficult, right? You know, the guys who... What I tried to say here is that even the guys who write the Linux audio software like FalkTX have the problems of audio not playing for some arbitrary reason and they don't know why. Actually, it wasn't the case, but this is what I thought. Okay, that's fine. Everybody has these problems. Let's continue. The thing is that it shouldn't have... What you're running? There was no problem. I mixed them and had a look. All my jack applications... The sound was okay. Then keep on watching. The thing is that this is correct. It shouldn't be sound right now. It should be slight hiss though. How abstract this is. What the... What's happening? I never got that part actually. Okay. Is there a logic to it? There is a logic to it. It's amazing. I like your acting. I'm a good actor. You are? I went to acting school. Oh no, it's a lipid. It makes the clicking noise. And there's sound, but it's very quiet. Look at that look. Do you hear sound? Yeah. I don't hear it, but it's fine. The speakers are below... We'll probably have to sync the audio. If we aside them, we'll just watch the video. We'll be fine. But the clap won't be in the video. See, I'm happy the sound is there. Watch, you'll see it. And the music. I like the music. All over Facebook and YouTube. This is art. This is art. Oh my god. I could have known that. What about this? First place by the way. I was very happy. And it took a shit load of work. Ah, it must have. The difficult thing was to figure out what works. There are many effects that we did. We spent days filming and it didn't work out. Yeah, so there you go. That's why we were filming what Nils was doing. Because theoretically it could be used for something like that. I see. And now you have a reaction video. You have a reaction video. A few minutes later... It's 1 pm guys. Oh yeah. If you want to rock tomorrow... Let's rock tomorrow. Good night. Do stuff. Cables. And we have red t-shirts. So if you go to... cables.gl This is a very good website that allows you to do beautiful demos in real time in a browser. In a Chrome browser. Cables.gl. It comes with GLSL or something there. Program shaders? Yeah. It's from the GPU. WebGL. Yes, but I mean, yeah. WebGL. Cables.gl. And it's very nice. And if you need an invite, ask me. I can try to get it from the guys. They're interested in users, I think. But there isn't a phase of testing. So cables. That's what I think of cables when you say cables. I think about the service cables. Yeah, this is headphones not cables. But it's cables for headphones. Oh yeah, that's right. It's not GL. What are all those? Excuse me. Execute me. Execute me. It's just fun, isn't it? Oh yeah, I love it. Oh yeah. That's one of the best fun you can have without being offensive. At least to some people. Oh yeah. Are you attending or doing that again during this session? Hopefully, I like this. Let's see. If you have time, I'll be happy to talk to you and share my story. I actually wanted to make one. I recorded it, and it was... I think the sound was broken, so I just couldn't use it. Maybe I should... I don't know. Maybe I should release it as an unreleased video for Patreon only or something. Let's get ready. So here was a part where Eamon Tobin has given an introduction lecture to Ardor and also explained what is a radio drama. He also provided us with some materials and everybody could sit down and play with them and learn the basics of Ardor basically. After that, we sat down and made tracks for one hour for a competition and everybody got the same sound sample, which was a foam ringing. And I took the hard approach of trying to make every single sound out of the provided sample, which is something I never did. But I didn't use any sampler plugins. I just edited and processed the audio with plugins using just Ardor tools. So it was pretty bare bones in the end and nothing to be very much proud of. Who is not finished uploading? Okay. Please, please do. Applaud, dammit! Applaud now! He's done. Who's done now? So, one missing? Okay. Tonight I had a dream that somebody revealed himself as tax the penguin. Actually, I thought it was someone of you, but I don't remember. Oh, so that is how it's working. Wow. You have this page. When they play a piece of music that you want to vote for, you press this link and you're casting a vote. Okay. Nils, can we vote more than once? Yes, but it overrides the vote. So we can only vote one song. No, it's hard written on the page. Crap, sorry. I'm gonna read through. So this is always on? Yeah, it's on. Okay, so I just point it on someone who's yelling or whatever. I try. As you can see, there's quite a lot of people there on Sonoy. It's Saturday. No, Sunday. People are making music. Everybody's cracking beats. There's going to be a... Actually, no, they're uploading. They are almost done. They should be done. Well, whatever. We shall see. Sound test, sir. I can't check the volume. So nobody on the mixer, right? I'm on the mixer. So this is actually... It seems the only contribution from the online challenge. So that was the sample that everyone was given, the ring. We had to incorporate it somewhere into the music. And that tune, the only one sent from the online viewers, did quite cleverly. Okay, it's like Cody, man. Nils is hacking this. As he goes. This goes up, though. Let them vote now. Okay, we will do this. Like this. Just copy them to my office. Okay, so go to the voting page with your ID. Or you have to give us the name. Again, I give you the title. So what was the title of this one? The online is not in the vote. Okay. Then it quits and it's all right. Yes, first of all... Actually, the online challenge is extended for 20 minutes. Because 20 minutes is longer. So it may be a little later. Okay, so let's... Yeah, while we're waiting, while Nils is copying, I just wanted to say that it was such a pleasure seeing everybody work on their music. So instead of just talking about it, we could see ourselves in action. Yeah, applause for me for you already. So Nils have already congratulated everybody for taking part in the competition. And now he explains the technical details on how do we vote. Now he was going to play tracks and then we can choose a number for the name of each track from 0 to 5. You can choose a number from 1 to 5. 1 to 5 and 5 is best. From 0 to 5. From 0 to 5, 5 is best. 0 is I don't like it. 3 is... Man! Man! So first piece is called Friendly Piece of Crushing Junk. You might think it's quite ridiculous how we enjoy listening to that. Because we listen to the song and how it incorporates the phone ring. And also how ridiculous it is. And there were many, many tracks like this. You probably won't enjoy it as much as we did back then because we sat through the process and we knew each other and it was every close feeling of community and enjoying ourselves surpassing our limits and trying to learn stuff in an hour which is a very short piece of time. It was fun. So as you can see we really had great time making the music together and then listening to the results. We all laughed so hard for the ridiculous compositions not in a derogatory way. Nobody wanted to mock anyone. We just had fun and we were enjoying our own creativity and the sense of community. So I think that was a great time and I hope to see these people and more people and new people next year on Next Sonoi. You're probably curious what I have made in that hour. I'm going to show you. I recorded a making off however it's nothing too interesting and I don't think I'm going to release it as a separate video unless you really want it or maybe I'm going to upload it uncut for the freaks who really want to watch that. Well, I had several crashes along the way. Anyway, I decided I'm going to take that hour. I was very tired and my eyes were hurting a lot. So it was a bit difficult to focus but I decided to take the time and try to create every single sound out of the phone ring sample that I was given. So I tried to make the drums from it the basses and everything else. I managed to make the drums and one pad like ambient sound so the track sounds like this and it's not very much interesting. There's just one loop basically. I tried but I thought maybe that's something worth repeating. I think I get better results using synthesizers like XenacelFX. Anyway. And that's it. Sonoy 2017. The first edition is over. Will there be next Sonoy convention? It depends on you. Yeah. We're leaving. Bye Nils. So now we're getting to the airport. We can sit somewhere. So we just had a little McDonald's dinner. Don't blame it on me. Yeah. We were like where should we eat? Let's not go to McDonald's and then we looked around and we said alright let's go to McDonald's. Bye McDonald's. So my plane I should be like at the gate is closing in seven minutes. Yeah. I'll walk you there You still have like half an hour right now? 40 minutes? Probably. Yeah. You have plenty of time to find it. Thanks so much. It was great to meet you in person and to hang out all this weekend. I see the videos. It's always strange to meet YouTube people. Yeah it's also strange to meet people I saw. I saw your pictures and I knew you from the forums or github. You know what I just think Ah. They're switching letters. I always go to LAC. No. I might start coming too. I never consider that but maybe I'll be a little bit more easy on going, hopping on a plane in the game. Mark McCurry was on the last one in France. So if you had went there you met crap. I'll give him a high five. He came all the way from USA? Yeah. Just to be there at the conference. The first time I actually met him in person. I have no idea how he looks like. I have no idea too. I wouldn't be weird because he has no pictures. Okay I have four minutes. Yeah I'll be leaving. Thanks again. Good luck. Keep up great work. Yeah. And videos. Bye. Alrighty. Going through the gate. Hello. Now I need to strip. First it's the big cube. See you on the other side. Okay so I got through the screenings. It was funny because an officer asked before the Bernger interface this one. Because the German company and he says he likes it and I said I like it too. They're cheap and they're doing good things. I said that they have a better reputation among some people. But I don't know why. Because I really like their products. So that was a funny little conversation before I got x-rayed or whatever they're doing. Now I just kept to find my plane. Alright so I have finally landed. It's 10 p.m. 30 minutes after actually. That was the worst flight I had so far. It was only the fourth one in my life but it was terrible. I had no headphones. I had two crying children in front and in the back. It was I'm so glad I'm out. I can finally go to sleep. It's not going to be too long. By the way I made this just for the movie.
