How´s Grandpa Soundstone doing?
Some of you might have noticed, that
the series about grandpa Soundstone hasn´t got new parts for some
time. http://www.rofilm-media.net/web2018_094.htm
Has the series – which was announced
as “100 parts of making mistakes” - been cancelled after only 3
parts?
No, it hasn´t. Grandpa Soundstone (aka
Rolf Kasten) is already busy working on part 4. But it needed some
conceptual changes.
The series is still …
… about crossing the borders between
art and science
… about learning and about
documenting the process of learning
… about the mathematcal, technical
and physical foundations of music and sound
… about coding software, which shall
process sound
… about building hardware modules to
produce sound, to controll software and to operate other
gear
… about looking under the hood of
computers, learning their structure and how they work in depth
But the series won´t be a live
documentation, a one-to-one live recording of the learning process
anymore. It´s too lengthy for the viewers to follow the thoughts and
mistakes of grandpa Soundstone, sometimes thinking – loudly – for
some minutes without doing anything and discovering that he´s wrong
in the end. It´s become apparent, that too many of the viewers got
bored by some of these long minutes of just trying something without
knowing what to expect in the end.
Well, most of the mistakes, which
Grandpa Soundstome made while travelling through the land of sound,
art and technology, will still be shown and documented – but only
those, which contribute to understanding the matter. And not live,
but as a condensed version of what had been going on.
The keyword “live”. Grandpa
Soundstone´s experiments won´t be shown live anymore. You still
will see every step he made and every action he ventured to do, but –
again – without long gaps and without minutes of waiting for a
process to come to its end while only chatting away to bridge the
time.
I will leave some, let´s say
“randomness, in the individual parts, but not so often anymore.
Well, that´s it. Part 4 of “Grandpa
Soundstone” is comming this summer (I´m working on a project about
granular synthesis at the moment and I´m preparing Workshop 4 about
FM/PM at the same time), and I hope it´ll meet a bit more enthusiasm
that parts 1 to 3 did.
Have a great time!
