Making

Making

Things I'm building: fabrication, software agents, and the next phase of music notation. The throughline: making things that don't exist yet, or making things that exist better.

01. Fabrication

Fabrication

2026-07-01

Bambulab P1S. Objects that solve specific problems: coffee tools, bike mounts, photo gear. The kind of thing you make when you care about both the object and what it holds.

3D printing hit a turning point with the P1S, fast enough to be useful, reliable enough to trust. Most of what I print solves a small problem: a drip stand at the right height, a light mount that fits the handlebar profile, a collar that matches a lens diameter. Fusion 360 for modeling, PLA and TPU for most prints, PETG when strength matters.

02. AI & Agents

News Agent

2026-07-01

A tuned model for fetching, aggregating, and ranking the things I care about. Styled in a way that I appreciate.

28 sources, Claude LLM summaries, ranked by personal relevance. The problem isn't finding news. It's finding the news that matters to you. This is my attempt at a definitive filter. Working name, not final.

Agent Colloquium

2026-06-01

What happens when agents debate ethics? A framework for philosophical discourse between AI agents with distinct personas and reasoning styles.

Each agent gets a philosophical position, a reasoning model, and a set of constraints. The colloquium runs as structured rounds: opening statements, cross-examination, synthesis. The goal isn't consensus; it's productive disagreement that surfaces assumptions neither side knew they had.

03. Music Notation

Adaptive Music Notation

2026-05-01

Traditional notation is static. The next phase of creative notation should respond to the performer, the context, and the composition's own logic.

Exploring notation systems that adapt in real-time: dynamic clef assignment, contextual accidentals, rhythmic notation that adjusts to tempo and feel. The goal is notation that serves the musician, not the other way around. Background in music theory from university. This is the project that's been simmering longest.
