Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is this site?

A personal archive of sound, code and visual experiments. Mostly things I make while learning — Sonic Pi, Ardour, samples, generative art, small tools. Some of it works, some doesn’t. It’s all here.

Who writes everything here?

Just me. I’m learning music and code from scratch. No big team, no professionals, no agency — just notes from someone figuring things out.

What can I find on the site?

Music & Sound — releases, thoughts, sound design, new music I’m listening to
Sonic Pi — code, samples, tools, generative sound
Digital Art — procedural graphics, prompts, AI composition
Making — hands, hardware, small tools

Plus notes, tutorials and drafts.

Can I use code, samples, images or text from this site?

Only if the post explicitly says you can. Look for a license note at the bottom of the post — something like MIT, CC BY, CC BY-NC, or a written permission.

What do the license notes mean?

At the bottom of some posts you’ll see a short note like MIT, CC BY, or CC BY-NC. Here’s what they mean:

For code:

For content (text, images, music, samples):

MIT — you can use, modify and share it freely, including commercially. Just keep the credit.
Apache 2.0 — same as MIT, plus explicit patent protection.
GPL — you can use and modify it, but if you share your version, it must stay open under the same license.
AGPL — same as GPL, but also applies when the code runs on a server.

CC0 — public domain. Use it however you want, no credit needed.
CC BY — use it however you want, including commercially. Credit required.
CC BY-SA — same as CC BY, but derivative works must use the same license.
CC BY-NC — use it non-commercially only. Credit required.
CC BY-NC-SA — non-commercial, credit required, derivatives under the same license.
CC BY-ND — use it as-is, no changes. Credit required.
CC BY-NC-ND — non-commercial, no changes, credit required.

If there’s no note — you need permission. Ask through the contact form.

If there’s no note — you need to ask first. By default, everything is protected by copyright.

Can I use the code?

Personal projects — yes, if the post says so
Commercial use — only if the post says so
Modifying — only if the post says so
Credit — yes, link back to the source
Reselling — only if the post says so

Can I use the samples?

In your own music — only if the post says so
Commercially (releases) — only if the post says so
Modifying — only if the post says so
Credit — only if the post says so
Reselling as a sample pack — no, never

Can I use the visuals?

In your projects — only if the post says so
Commercially — only if the post says so
Modifying — only if the post says so
Credit — yes, always

Can I use the text?

Quoting — yes, with credit and a link
Translating — only if the post says so
Copying the whole article — only if the post says so

Can I republish your article on my site?

Yes, if you let me know first — where and why. Just send a message through the contact form.

Do you publish AI-generated images?

Only in tutorials, and only when they’re based on my own sketches and materials. I don’t publish AI-generated images as finished work.

Do you use AI?

Yes — for prompts, composition, editing, translation and grammar checks. I mark AI-assisted content where it matters.

I’m against copying someone else’s work into a generation. The concept should come from a human.

Can I use your site to train AI?

No.

Can I use your music?

Not by default. All music on this site is protected by copyright unless a post explicitly says otherwise (for example, CC BY-NC in the notes). If you want to use something and there’s no license note — just ask.

How can I contact you?

Use the contact form. I read everything. Replies usually take 3–7 days.

Do you accept collaborations?

Maybe. This site is non-profit and personal. If you have something specific in mind, write through the contact form — I’ll reply if it fits.

How often is the site updated?

When I have something to add. No schedule. Sometimes a few posts a week, sometimes nothing for a month.
