Tiny algorithm to find palindromes or anacyclics (with Regular Expressions) in a given text to compose a poem, a bit like this (on the right) by Bob Cobbing, 1966. The appeal is that it’s not so strict.

Next week, I will be in Barcelona for /* VIU */ Festival and host a workshop for Live Coded Computational Poetry (in P5LIVE).
April 18, 2026, 11:00-13:00

The workshop is an introduction to concepts of Computational Poetry and how to realize them in a Live Coding environment. By writing search algorithms (with Regular Expressions) we will engage with collage, automation, iteration and randomness in poetry (…)

Finally, I added some documentation of an exciting collaboration I did over a year ago with performer Cathleen Baumann to my website. We were experimenting with human voice and computer (live coding), between signal and song, between abstract vocalization and spoken words.

It was initiated by @toplap_dus@social.toplap.org Cathleen and I met in person for the first time 1 1/2 days before the performance, developed a very rough script, audio set-up and even stage design together.
Issue: Since over a week I’m trying to get the internal sound card on my laptop (HP Elitebook) working again. I have only “dummy device” and the logs say: sof-audio-pci-intel-cnl 0000:00:1f.3: error: failed to boot DSP firmware -110.
I assume it has to do with the firmware. It occured after an upgrade to Ubuntu 25.10. Searched many many forums and tried many things without luck. My external sound interface (via USB) works fine. Anyone who had similar problems or knows what to do?
