emma deerful @deerful@friend.camp

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

emacs is short for eat (big) macs and vim is short for (drink) Vimto and this is 100% fact

this was the best time I had the best tiiiiime

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

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/

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)

Dad update: he’s very very into Linux Ubuntu but doesn’t know how to turn the WiFi on

My parents are currently playing 20 questions; my dad has a ‘three wise men’ card stuck to his head and is going ‘I know there’s three of them and I know they’re men. What else is there to know? Are they sportspeople?’

My mum’s neighbours have possibly the actual cutest cats ever?!? I 💚 them.

At my mum’s for Christmas, and here is Rusty the cat. She’s super weird and I love her more than she loves me.
