Experiment HRNSXTN x RDMSXN ISMIR 2026: does a distilled student choose as the codec would? Experiment HRNSXTN x RDMSXN Distillation judged by regret, not agreement Synthesis HRNSXTN x RDMSXN What actually fits on a pedal with no NPU Experiment HRNSXTN x RDMSXN Prehackathon: a folder of recordings becomes an instrument Experiment windchime Content aware reembedding and index epoch provenance Experiment windchime Auditing ALMs as a controlled variable Discovery lichtspiel The fallback ladder that keeps a live demo alive Market scan lichtspiel Why not "another VJ plugin": finding the wedge Field notes lichtspiel The monome as a latent space instrument Usability windchime Instruments for a moderated proof of concept study
