@edk will know more for sure. but if i understand correctly the streams should be forwarded both to twitch / youtube, where replaying is prob an option from there.

in general we have also been talking about setting up (another) peertube instance to self host the vidicon archives, from last year, and this year i guess eventually

Can you post all the different stream links on the website / here?

  • I did not see them anywhere (?)

super pumped for this!
last night was really neat I hope to catch even more tonight

we are playing Saturday Nov 14th at 1:00 PM

here are some pictures of us getting ready for our talk/performance

and a video preview

We will be discussing combining physical objects with a video synthesis system. The flexibility of creating your own already visually interesting content to then process further allows for much smaller systems to be more than viable.

break a leg everyone and thank you for participating!

not sure exactly, but i think the streams will be at:

vidicon stream (best option!)

→ where the official live chat is, (and wont get blocked for copyright during dj sets)

jakes youtube

highst quality (1080p) , persists the buffer, so you can pause etc. worth trying if dropping on the main

eds instagram

jakes facebook


not sure anything was actually going here but theres also eds twitch and youtube

My modular that I used for the liveset (module demo + performance at 12:00 MST / 20:00 CET)
I used all my patchcables :slight_smile: …ordered some more because of that.
on the right side of the black case is a camera feedback setup.
Left case = mostly audio, but also some video eurorack (Syntonie CBV001 + VU002, Castle VCO + FlipFlops and my own stuff). right case is a custom LZX Cadet system21 with some modules swapped out (dual Castle ADC. with the green knobs)
I don’t have a video mixer here in Italy, so the recordings are raw!
(ps: I pre-recorded because I only have crappy WIFI here)

So we can play music if it is our own? or just one of us playing piano?

EDIT:
@cyberboy666
also can we pre record some or all of the performance and then just stream that?
There has been weather around us that has me a bit worried and I’d like to at least have a back up plan

@wednesdayayay yes i believe so. guess @edk is the person to ask but yesterday some of the performances/talks were prerecorded , and some were live. and some a mixture of both. so do whatever works best for you i would say

Twitch has some recordings

nice! will check that. but as i remember twitch only archives it for 2 weeks?

There will be a more permanent backup. but with this twitch one, you can view it right now :slight_smile:
