33EMYBW (@wushanmin) is a Shanghai-based musician and a core member of the city’s electronic/experimental scene, known for numerous collaborations and appearances in many local projects. Now affiliated with the @svbkvlt label and appearing as part of their showcase at Unsound, she explores the futuristic sounds of post-club music. This podcast is a live recording of 33EMYBW at ALL, Shanghai, on 7th July 2019. She names this set ‘Trash Set #1’. The whole set is comprised of outtakes, sketches, demos and unused ideas from last years Golem album on SVBKVLT, as well as her upcoming release Anthropods, which will be premiered at Unsound 2019 in Kraków.

Functory 03 is the third compilation from FunctionLab will be released on August 5, 2019.

After the practice and introspection of the “localization of the vanguard scene” in the past two years, we proudly started from Hangzhou and have extended our tentacles to a farther geographical space; Collecting music from all over the world and converging into functionlab's own "smell”, self-centred yet separated from self-expression.

Functory 03 contains 12 tracks produced by Akito/ bela/ GG Lobster/ GUAN/ Kieran Loftus/ Laughing Ears/ Mice/ Mr.Pena/ XHANKONKON/ XOXO Miro/ Yikii/ Zean

The cover and MV are made by Hangzhou artists Zhou Yilun and Martin Goya Business & Cheng Ran respectively.

About Arthropods

The soul is a fragment of a dream, the seed of future and past, evolving infinitely on the Arthropods* Continent. We seek out dreams and catch them, to scrape together the new Adam.

*1 ARTHROPODS： Arthropods is the alienation form of GOLEM*, and there is a soul in each metamere. They can upload, download, and link to each other.

*2 GOLEM：A golem is mythical humanlike figure made from clay and magically able to move on its own. In the Bible, Golem is an unfinished human being, without a soul. Through the process of its own evolution and its makers' experiments, a Golem can contain or generate its own soul. It can appear in different interconnected forms and reproduce itself at will. A golem with a soul, in order to speed up its own evolution, will sometimes supersede or devour the original form of life. The album Golem is inspired from this source.

CHIASMA is a prototype, representing the initial results of my project on composing with genetic algorithms and evolutionary computation. 
Genetic algorithms provide means of numerical and combinatorial optimization by generating more promising ideas from a specifiable set of components and processes. Individuals of an initial population with a random set of genes “mate”, and produce “offspring”, which would evolve under the process of natural selection over the course of generations.
CHIASMA uses an intelligent machine listening system to evaluate fitness values of generated individuals, by using fast Fourier transform as its translation method. The initial population is created from two random arrays, representing their random genomes. They mate to create offspring with the successful traits highlighted. Each chromosome array is compared to the target one through a simple linear distance function. individuals would then have an importance weight factor, used as a multiplication value when added to the mating pool, to assure that more desirable genes are passed on to the next generation. A mutation rate of one percent is considered to increase the chance of fit individuals being generated.
The research project focuses on employing the process of genetic evolution as the composition structure, as changes in parameters of the algorithm such as allowed population per generation, mutation rate, search environment, lifespan, etc. influence the events and speed of the system reaching its target. 

The algorithm is written in Supercollider.
