Sound Generation with Neural Networks

One of the fascinating ideas that (and also some other friends) I try to to with is sound generation with Neural Networks which me and one of my friends do some coding and realizations. One of the codes that we wrote was a Multilayered Perceptron, which we exposed to the input of an outer system, which was a Billings system, and the older output values of the original system. In the end the weights of the Multilayered Perceptron were changed due to the error composed by comparing the output of the original system, and the network.

This is directly copied from my journal in dA , I would be glad to take your ideas about the event from the comment section below:
(I came into a conclusion that banishment of a major political party in Turkey would be an issue worth spreading word of, and would be a good reason to update an fossilized journal.)
Photographs from "Şimdiki Zamanın Rivayeti" by İTÜ Sahnesi

Although this is a late exposal, I would still like to share these pictures, taken during the rehearsal of "Şimdiki Zamanın Rivayeti", a pun - ish (not punish, but pun-like) name for a play from İTU Sahnesi. The name of the play is a well known grammar term, indicating that though a verb has a tense of present continuous tense, it is expressing an action is being told right now, but has told to occur beforehand. The term has a story-like tune to it, is generally used when a story was told to be happened. The script is focused upon themes like war, is especially exemplifying the ongoing war and social struggle in Southeastern Turkey, has built its theme upon the methodical preparation of the individual into the person that has been stripped down from empathy, and a cliché supporter of social Darwinism, has a strong sense of cynicism. Though whether the play will be put on stage for some more time, or not is ambiguous; but I definitely recommend people in Turkey to have a go with this theater company.
And I also recommend "On Identitiy" by Amin Maalouf as a book, despite of the fact that this recommendation seems to be -but is not- awkward and out of point. The Turkish title is "Ölümcül Kimlikler" , which is a far better translation of the title in French: "Les Identités meurtrières"
The following is taken with Ilford PAN 400; some with long exposure. For your pleasure:

This is about a video session that me and Dilşad did a while ago. We were in an art studio, and did a couple of shots that we never managed to edit to make a whole short film. The main point was about communication, and we tried to invent abstractions during the process but we ended up shooting more photos than videos for her film class project.
