Level Up Your Musicianship

Amy Sandoval has a three day course: 

See Do you want to finally be able to play with freedom and confidence?

Well, I don't have any musical instruments, but I have a nice quality Apple USB keyboard, and I  thought maybe, if Apple's electronics are up to it, this keyboard will do n-key rollover and somebody has figured out a clever way to put piano keys onto it, so that I can use it with things like https://www.tonegym.co/tool/item?id=scale-analyser because I was learning about the line of fifths: 

But I don't have a keyboard, and the tonegym doesn't have a keyboard interface, AFAICS. So I googled "usb midi keyboard hack 3d printed piano keys" and the first thing I got was this 2015 Hackaday prize piece: https://hackaday.com/2015/07/12/3d-printed-modular-keyboard/ about this project: https://hackaday.io/project/6737-modular-synthesizer-controller-keyboard-case. So that's the plastic, but there's no electronics, ... and how should the software work? That's the levelling-up that we need to do, I think.

We need some sort of metasynthesis:

I can't help, I'm not a rock star. This guy had an interesting life I'm sure:

... and his posterity too? See  On Communication in Linear Time And Hypertext And The Gospel of Sophia . So it looks like El Cielo of the cistine [sic!😂] chapel is not the limit anymore.  I think I just met one of his descendents. A guy called Versailles Toledo who is from Chiapas. That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ...

This was in The Guardian: David Turner obituary , only eight days after I posted  David Turner Talking About Sixty Years of Functional Programming History : This talk was given in London in 2017: See  Turner, D. A. "Some History of Functional Programming Languages" also  John Hughes - Why Functional Programming Matters  and David MacQueen's talk at ICFP 2015 in  Numberphile - Sophie Maclean on the Catalan Numbers . At 10:30 This whole discussion abut combinator reduction is especially interesting. I didn't know Arthur Norman had tried building hardware for combinator machines. I'll look that up: maybe start here A.C. Norman  Faster combinator reduction using stock hardware  in LFP '88: Proceedings of the 1988 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming. At 26:25 on the ISWIM virtual machine implemented in the PAL compacting garbage collector?! This work Reynolds and others did was at MIT in Masecheusetts and Argonne National Laboratory ...
