I'm a composer, music programmer, and math enthusiast punning into the void. Also, creator of the SCAMP libraries (

I recently came out with an online course through https://t.co/xAB5ED88TS in which you can learn the basics of Python programming while creating music!

Would be nice if @TikTokSupport gave a shit about copyright infringement. It's been a over a week with no response, while an imposter is stealing my videos *every* *day* and exploiting them for millions of views.

[Marc Evanstein @MarcatoMarc]

@BurnZeZ @TikTokSupport yeah, it's a pain because I'm powerless to do anything without action from @TikTokSupport. Unless I were to sue tiktok or something. Hope they respond soon

[Marc Evanstein @MarcatoMarc]

@TikTokSupport TikTok account @rlzkunguy5111671 has stolen my videos and racked up ~10M views on my content. I've filed 6 copyright reports since May 9 with zero response. Also emailed [email protected]. Ongoing daily theft of my original work. Report #7637941575594786830

@NickWritesMusic @piesaac @garrt I've tested this kind of thing pretty extensively with ChatGPT (3 and 4). It's not good at these kind of constrained logical operations, especially in music.

[Marc Evanstein @MarcatoMarc]

@NickWritesMusic You should write an article about how writing articles about how post production sound and mixing are extensions of composition that feed back into one's music is an extension of the process of composition that feeds back into one's music.

This video is a personal one; my former teacher, Clarence Barlow, passed away a few weeks ago, and this video is a tribute to him. I learned so much from Clarence, and if you like my channel, there are echos of Clarence throughout so much of what I do. https://t.co/h3xz00fCxc

@piesaac Thanks Isaac!!

I made a video about converting cycles of prime numbers into crazy musical polyrhythms! https://t.co/aFm2EzsSfg #some2 #algorithmic #music

By the way, if you're interested in learning more about composing in Python, I'm teaching a summer workshop starting in a few weeks: https://t.co/jPFsFQRLbd. We're offering a limited number of Diversity in Computer Music Scholarships, so don't hesitate to apply!

Coding up Steve Reich's "Piano phase" in Python! (Complete with outrageous quantized music notation.) https://t.co/MTpfUb9W5E

[Marc Evanstein @MarcatoMarc]

You are presented with a strange musical machine. What on earth is it, and what rules govern its behavior? Is it borrowing some of its material from somewhere?

Put your best guesses in the comments!

Just released a new version of SCAMP (Suite for Computer-Assisted Music in Python)! Here are my somewhat cheeky notes on the new release: https://t.co/e1fjQyGjeH

@piesaac This is exactly the kind of self-talk I've adopted to try to avoid going down unhelpful mental pathways

[Marc Evanstein @MarcatoMarc]

On a personal note, it has been such an artistically and personally nourishing experience to be able to work together in this way, with such thoughtful and generous people. Thank you Liz, Allison, Hanz, the SNE, and Quinteto Latino!

I recently completed a truly wonderful collaboration with Stanford Biology's Prof. Liz Hadly and Dr. Allison Stegner called "Hearing the Anthropocene," in which I wrote a piece of music based on a core sample they took at Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve:

I also put together this a playlist (https://t.co/qOQb33DJQd) which, among other things, contains the studio recording that we made with Hassan Estakhrian, alongside the graphic score that the ensemble played from.
