In Defence of Literacy — Two Types of Time

1st December 2024: Published In Defence of Literacy — Two Types of Time.
This replaces the essay The Origin of Time, originally published in May 2023, but now withdrawn.

Retrospective 2024

4th October 2024: Completed and published Retrospective 2024.
This is a detailed look at the path I took after 1971, when I was a student.

ResidentSynth and ResidentSynthHost Documentation

April 19th: Completed and published detailed documentation for the (further improved) ResidentSynth and ResidentSynthHost web application.
The documentation not only describes the synth's and host's functions in detail, but also their context and motivation.

ResidentSynth and ResidentSynthHost

Completed and published a greatly expanded version of the ResidentSynth and its ResidentSynthHost web application. The host can now record and play back MIDI input sequences. The synth provides configurable mixtures, tunings, ornaments, settings presets and other functions.

The Origin of Time, and an old video

Added two items (14th May 2023):
1. The Origin of Time (an essay) — Withdrawn, but replaced by the essay In Defence of Literacy in December 2024.
2. Epiphany 1982 (A spontaneous interview filmed by János Darvas in 1982)

ResidentSynth Host added

October 2022: The ResidentSynth Host is a web application that allows live performance of the GUI-less ResidentSynth, using a MIDI input device attached to the computer. Restricted use of the synthesizer is also possible using only a mouse.
The ResidentSynth and its new Host are developments of the (now archived) ResidentWAFSynth and ResidentWAFSynthHost software.
To keep things simple, I am now developing just one synthesizer in one GitHub repository, the ResidentSynthHostTestSite.
