This episode celebrates monome's 10 year anniversary by exploring the work of Sean Hellfritsch (http://seanhellfritsch.com). Sean is an accomplished musician and filmmaker (http://encyclopediapictura.com), having recently released 'Some Sort of Wave Portal' on Leaving Records as Cool Maritime. He is as warm as the California sun.

Much of the featured music is from Sean's 2012 self-released 'Tea Time Travel'.

Lovingly crafted tapes of both works can be purchased here:

E520 Hyperion Stereo Effects Processor in the Stereo Pitch Shift mode, via Robert Rich. Simple sequence from E352, just some knob twiddling. 
This is the 'Granular' pitch shift algorithm, not the Phase Vocoder one.

E520_PitchShift_RRich

New E520 Hyperion algorithm demo, the Stereo Reversing Delay. This has a 6min buffer that you can load audio into, and apply several effects including a 'scrubbing' function between running forwards or backwards. Still in development but wanted people to hear the effect. From Robert Rich. Scrubbing is around the 0;53 to 1:10 point.

E520 Hyperion in Looper Mode. Pedal steel played by Robert Rich.

E520 - StereoLooperGuitar - RR1

E520 Hyperion new algorithm, the Chowder Delay. This time-slices the audio buffer, and then with voltage control changes the lengths, plays forward/reverse, and (coming soon) Pitch shifts. This is just the first demo, we are still in R&D but it's sounds too cool not to "preview" it.

We’re joined by Cory Doctorow — prolific author, longtime activist, friend of the show — to learn about a critical issue that much of his advocacy work centers on: adversarial interoperability, a.k.a competitive compatibility. Cory explains why this approach to designing and governing technological systems is crucial for knocking down the walled gardens that keep us captive and for breaking up the highly concentrated corporate oligopoly. For ensuring the business of innovation serves people’s needs and for empowering us all with greater self-determination and agency over the things that mediate our lives. To put it simply: for being users, not just used.

Cory also joined us for a blockbuster doubleheader — so stick around for the premium episode where we discuss surveillance capitalism, science fiction, and much more.
