So as I’m bedridden with the cold from hell, I figure I’ll spend some time plinking at setting up a Touch OSC bridge on a Raspberry Pi 4.  After getting Pure Data working with remote X11 display, I thought it might be nice to have some way to control parameters other than poking at very tiny text and widgets on my old Wasabi Mango 40″ UHD monitor.    

The Iron Chef ingredients for this project are:

It’s part history lesson (because I’m bloody ancient), part diary, and part notepad, and also a look inside a mind warped by both Cold War and Post-9/11 sensibilities, if you can call them that.  Enjoy.… Read the rest
