GNU/Linux Loves All: Violin and Python
Timmy James B
Track two is in Jupiter Original
Everyone should have access to FLO technology. The fact that Python is not already installed on Windows and OSX is a major problem for humanity. "Developer mode" shouldn’t be a thing; it should always already be enabled, as it is on GNU/Linux. The philosophy behind developer mode is to scare people into thinking freedom is dangerous. The tech industry doesn’t want us to be developers. Here, Python is used to make music for all. Our computers should serve us. The future of technology belongs in the hands of ordinary people.
About the Speaker
Timmy James Barnett is passionate about the philosophy of FLO (Free/Libre/Open) software. He is happy to be using GNU/Linux and FLO software he wrote for his performances with GNU/Linux Loves All and !mindparade. His music is inspired by FLO technologies including GNU/Linux, Matthew Autry’s skip-fretting, Kite guitar, and Jim Snow’s Mosaichord. These technologies have connected him with older notes that have been covered up by modern standard tuning. Rather than being limited to just one tuning, Timmy’s music is inspired by both the harmonic series and various edos beyond 12edo (known as standard tuning). He finds a unique sound from the intersection between ancient tuning theory, modern music technology, and a FLO philosophy.
