Time for an #introduction (again) I guess!
I'm Emma. I make electronic #music as Deerful, and now also as heartsease. Currently I use the #livecoding language ixi lang for most of my songs.
By day, I #research music subcultures and social worlds, online and off, and lecture. Right now I'm writing my PhD thesis on #ukulele players in the UK.
I make *lots* of stuff, mostly music, but also #bots/games/other stuff. You can see some of it at tilde.town/~emma/ or emmawinston.me.
Hi!
extremely momentarily popping my head back in to say that I’m at #algomech in Sheffield, playing at DINA at 10pm tonight and at the winter garden at 11am; recognise me by my rainbow overalls; come say hello if you see me, I’m mostly at a loose end
the only terminal text editor i've ever used is micro which i presume is short for microwave meal
@cadit thank you for your support in propagating 100% fact
New episode of Too Much Not Enough! @deerful and I talk about the videogame Rimworld, which we have occasionally played together via video chat. As an added bonus, you get to listen to Emma* knife a killer robot to death
Also: we're going on hiatus because I'm ridiculously busy these days.

Hello, I have not been here much but re-emerging tentatively. I am playing an algorave tonight, at St James Hatcham in New Cross if you’re in London, 9pm GMT/1pm PST at https://youtube.com/eulerroom/live/ (where people are streaming live-coded stuff for 84 hours straight) if you’re not. If that’s a thing you are interested in and would like to see/hear.
hey so by request you can now screenshot the full-length text on this as well as the view square, in case you want to do something other than post your blackout poetry to Instagram/Pixelfed/somewhere with image thumbnails.
I made a little thing on Glitch for making blackout poetry, so you can be emo on the internet faster and more efficiently https://blackoutpoetry.glitch.me
Hey! There's a new episode of Too Much Not Enough! This week @deerful and I talk about what it was like for her to be a 12 year old girl making websites in the early 2000s. Subjects include: Neopets, tables vs divs, being cool enough to purchase a domain name, adoptables, blinkies, guestbooks, subcultural studies, and the allure of being horny on main.
Just in case it's of interest to anyone: my installation guide for the #ixilang #livecoding language has been updated, both with a link to my working standalone build, and step-by-step instructions for getting ixi working with SuperCollider on both OS X and Windows. https://emmawinston.me/2018/07/18/installing-ixi-lang/
New episode of Too Much Not Enough! @deerful and I talk about mobile music production, aka making songs on your phone and other portable computer devices! https://toomuchnotenough.site/episodes/s02e02.html
Hey did you know that I do a podcast with @deerful where we talk about our obsessions? Well we just kicked off Season 2 with an episode about Fourier transforms, a mathematical concept that is apparently really hard to teach well. This does not stop me from trying to teach Emma in 25 minutes.
also: he’s not a coffee snob but most coffee is ‘just quite poor’ because ‘it’s an exquisitely sensitive vegetable’ (my dad is good)
I’m on a break from mastodon right now because it stresses me out but I’ll be back at some point.
i make music, but sometimes i make other stuff too. she/her.
