Filtering wp-links-opml.php for categories
Quick note to self, since I will definitely wonder about this again. If I want to view my list of WordPress links as an OPML (i.e. wp-links-opml.php) and filter for a specific category, the way to do that is to add the ?link_cat=[category id] suffix to the URL.

I’ve never written any generative music but once wrote a piece composed of 5 sections of different lengths that all looped and overlapped giving a varied output. It was 19 minutes but I worked out it could have gone for hours without repeating.

11 oktober, 2017 11:58@colinwalker Thanks! :) But I don’t know if I should really say I wrote something in this case. More like I setup some ground rules and tweaked sound. Anyway, it was great fun to do. Did you read the article that I based my experiment on? What you did sounds a lot like Brian Eno’s technique. Do you have your piece available online for listening?

11 oktober, 2017 12:48@MrHenko I’ve not read the article yet. Eno has done both, loops and generative. I hear you on whether you’re “the composer”. I wrote a post about that after Eno released Reflection. I’ll have to get mine online
