Sonntagsspaziergang auf dem Landwehrkanal

Wenn es keine Straße ist, dann wird es nicht geräumt.

So will es das Gesetz.

beautiful project to start the year with fransvanlent.nl/silence/

For a while I wrote overheard conversations as lyrics. That day I went to Wannsee to get my finger checked — I had cut it badly a few days before. The sun was shining, and a wife said to her husband in the street: “Willst du den Porsche nehmen? Ist schönes Wetter.”

The old Jolana that Hopek restored is run here through a bass amp into a 4×12” speaker cabinet. The snare drum is mic’d with an SM57. A great recession indicator: this year is the first time in SM57 history that the retail price has gone up.

No loudspeakers or instruments. The strong Lynchian symbols in the ohm resistor (the key, the house, etc.) are connected via the mycelium to Nuestra Señora de los Dolores — Mary dealing with the Seven Sorrows — an early example of gender inequality and unpaid care work.

Definitely visible is the, at the time, still pertinent fear of flying (Iberia Express airplane on the right). That explains the almost complete absence of music, with just a double-hertz dipole in the lower left corner.

recording video images on top of audio cassettes blew my mind and further dissolved auditory and visual perception as they become indistinguishable.

I’m not particularly into vintage gear, but I love using “obsolete” technology. These little hints and evolutionary dead ends that give you room to breath. The PixelCam, for me, was a revelation:

Mushroom Circuits, Ottweiler 2021.
As an expanded-cinema piece, this is a VGA hack, mixing audio and video into one stream and projecting the distorted signals onto a screen. The source here is a Fisher-Price PXL2000, the infamous PixelCam.

And just as Leone took a whole Kurosawa film and reframed it as a spaghetti western—making A Fistful of Dollars technically a Spanish samurai movie—this kind of re-mixing, sampling, and plagiarism is now at everyone’s fingertips

This training data edits the little Sergio-Leone-style duel in the ohm resistor next to it.

The streak or spray-shaped form coming in from the left can be read as the error signal flowing backward through those same connections, redistributing responsibility for the mistake.

“In your image, the cluster of circles connected by lines looks like the network’s neurons, and the thin lines between them resemble the weighted connections that carry signals forward. #mushroomart #aigenerated

Mushroom Circuits, 2023.
Artificial intelligence starts to take over (not only) music. ChatGPT tells me about this drawing:

screen grab from video of the incident. Dude dressed up like Max Headroom wearing sunglass is laughing.

Happy anniversary to the Max Headroom incident, the greatest example of signal hijacking.

The hi-cut (capacitor connected to the ground) makes the treble more pleasant and leaves some space for your tinnitus, making the listening unique for every individual experiencing it.

This is a full noise setup with some obscure IC in its core and over-sized old living room speakers. Mycelium growing on the capacitors might modulate their capacitive resistance C and contribute to resonance shifts.

mushroom circuits, 2021. Painting with coffee has some advantages. The pigments are available in every coffee shop, it is bio degradable and you can drink coffee meanwhile. Not possible with any other water colors.

The tubes are saturating the signal, adding some warmth. The ohmic resistances often host little acid western scenes, making it a mixed media audio-visual painting.

mushroom circuits, 2019. what started as a commentary on science-art quickly developed in a daily practice of creating mostly musical electric circuits while funghi adding some extra (super?) natural properties.

loopsider is not back!! happy to perform there again after 10 years

When I was living in Madriz, getting lost on magical Sunday Rastro walks up to Tirso de Molina, where punks sold books, patches, and republican banners, I found the first edition of the magazine La Felguera
