Pure Data goes Back to School @ Pickled Feet, Berlin
by Derek Holzer 27 Jan '07

27 Jan '07

*Pure Data goes Back to School* Saturday 10 February 2007 14:00 - 20:00 Pickled Feet Linienstrasse 54 Mitte, Berlin DE U2, Rosa-Luxemburg-Pl. U8, Rosenthaler Pl. Telephone: 3050187482 Please RSVP m_at_1010.co.uk to reserve places! Fee: EUR 10 Pure Data is a powerful, free and open source environment for producing and manipulating sound, image and data in real time. Because the programming is done visually, many artists find it a more intuitive tool than traditional text-oriented programming languages. However, many newcomers to PD miss the chance to learn the "grammar" and "vocabulary" of this visual language, and this results in confusion about how PD actually handles sounds and images. This one-day workshop will give an introduction to Pure Data for beginners and for experienced users who might have missed some of the fundamentals of the program. We will construct a basic sound synthesizer, and use this exercise to go over the deeper mysteries of what makes PD tick. Time will also be set aside for responding to participants' questions about their own PD audio projects. ---What to bring: * Essential: 1) Laptop running Linux, OS X or Windows 2) Pure Data installed from: http://at.or.at/hans/pd/installers.html 3) Soundcard (internal or external, quality a non-issue) 4) Headphones (!!!!) 5) EUR 10 participation fee * Recommended/Suggested: 1) MIDI controller/keyboard 2) Microphone 3) USB Joystick 4) Your own soundfiles (WAV, AIFF format) 5) Your own PD audio projects for feedback ---About the Teacher Derek Holzer [USA 1972] began working with Pure Data in 2001. Since then, he has taught and performed with the program across Europe, North America, Brazil and New Zealand. His work focuses on field recording, networked collaboration strategies, experiments in improvisational sound and the use of free software such as Pure-Data. Holzer has released tracks under the Nexsound, Sirr, and/OAR and Gruenrekorder labels, and has co-initiated several internet projects for field recording and collaborative soundscapes including Soundtransit.nl. He is currently writing a Pure Data beginner's manual for the FLOSS Manuals project. http://www.umatic.nl/info_derek.html http://www.umatic.nl/workshops.html http://www.flossmanuals.net/puredata (under development, feedback welcome) -- derek holzer ::: http://www.umatic.nl ---Oblique Strategy # 53: "Do something boring"

xxxxx workshops at pickledfeet, Berlin
by Derek Holzer 19 Jan '07

19 Jan '07

My favorite Berlin shop for noise, cracked electronics, pickles and dirty movies has started a workshop series. I'll be doing a Pure Data workshop myself in February, and many other talented and eccentric Berlin electronics&computers nutjobs will take turns offloading the contents of their heads for your eager consumption and reuse. Do drop by! d. *** pickled_feet food_noise_free_software xxxxx workshops at pickledfeet, Berlin http://pickledfeet.com/workshops.php A weekly series of constructivist workshops emphasising making within the field of the existent. Workshops led by field-expert practitioners extend over realms of code and embedded code, environmental code, noise, transmission and reception, and electromysticism. workshops solely utilise free software and GNU toolbase. Practitioners include Julian Oliver (http://selectparks.net/), Derek Holzer (http://www.umatic.nl/info_derek.html), Jeff Mann, Martin Howse (http://1010.co.uk) and many more tbc. The first workshop will commence 2pm saturday 27th January led by Julian Oliver: //-------------------------------------------------> Object Oriented Programming with Python. Object Oriented Programming refers to the technique of designing and authoring powerful, task-oriented code 'objects' that work together to do things for you. This introduction to OOP uses the dynamic language Python and is intended for those with little or no programming experience; the day long class starts with the basics of programming and moves through to writing whole modular programs. //<------------------------------------------------- Please bring a laptop! Further planned workshops will cover Pd - Pure Data, the Arduino platform, ATmega8 microcontrollers, PCB etching, base electronics, schmitt trigger noise generation, UNIX process, documentation, VLF reception, analogue TV transmission, FPGA design... full details tbc. Nominal fee for the 27th, 10 Euros. Please RSVP m_at_1010.co.uk to reserve places xxxxx, pickledfeet, Linienstrasse 54, Berlin 10119 U2, Rosa-Luxemburg-Pl.

PureData Montréal Users Group, 23rd gathering
by Mathieu Bouchard 19 Jan '07

19 Jan '07

moin moin everybody :) time for the 23rd gathering of the pd club. = PUREDATA MONTRÉAL #23 = '''20 janvier 2007 13:00''' '''at RATS, salle 401 du 6545 Durocher, Montréal.''' Carte routière : http://artengine.ca/pdmtl/rats_map.jpg == 1. La librairie d'abstractions PdMtl == Patrick Coulombe, Alexandre Quessy et Thomas Ouellet Fredericks présenteront la librairie d'abstractions pdmtl: La première partie portera sur la librairie en général. La deuxième plus particulièrement sur le format "sample". === Première partie === Le concept central de la librairie d'abstractions pdmtl est de classer les abstractions par ce qu'elles font, et non par leur auteur! La librairie propose aussi des méthodes pour uniformiser l'utilisation des GOP (graph on parent), des échantillons et du "state saving", etc. La librairie intègre déjà et intégrera aussi davantage d'abstractions, tel LEM de Patrick et MUZAQ d'Alexandre. Contrairement à d'autres logiciels du genre, Pure Data est conçu pour offrir des outil très flexibles, de bas niveau, plutôt que des objets englobant plusieurs fonctions, de haut niveau. C'est pourquoi nous croyons qu'il est nécessaire d'encapsuler ces objets dans des abstractions afin de faciliter leur utilisation. Ceci permet d'accélérer l'appropriation des possibilités qu'offre Pure Data, par une mise en boîte noire de détails plus compliqués. L'utilisateur peut tout-de-même retirer les algorithmes qui lui plaisent de ces abstractions pour les inclure directement dans ses propres patches. === Deuxième partie === Le format sample tire son origine du projet 8teen qui a été morcelé en modules qui communiquent avec des "sample id". C'est similaire à Gem, mais pour l'audio. Le format "sample" permet de : * Charger des fichiers wav en mémoire sans glitchs audio. * Alterner immédiatement entre plusieurs fichiers différents. * Afficher graphiquement le sample, ainsi que de réagir à des interconnections/déconnections en temps réel. * D'interconnecter facilement toutes les abstractions sample entre elles. * De gérer les fichiers mono et stéreo automatiquement (le multicannal pourrait être supporté). * Fixer le samplerate des différents fichiers à celui de Pure Data. * etc... Bref, rendre la gestion des échantillons audio beaucoup plus facile. == 2. Congrès PureData == Mise à jour par Marc Fournel, Darsha Hewitt, Andrew Brouse et Alexandre Castonguay. _ _ __ ___ _____ ________ _____________ _____________________ ... | Mathieu Bouchard - tél:+1.514.383.3801 - http://artengine.ca/matju | Freelance Digital Arts Engineer, Montréal QC Canada

Hi Felt that this might be of interest to the list .... I have just discovered that there are a few places left on these two workshops (makes a good 2 day grounding in the field). They will be run at FACT, Liverpool UK at the start of February. Though the blurb says Director (!) and MAX/MSP (!!) there is the opportunity or individuals to explore other software such as SuperCollider, PD, P5 or even Flash. Please feel free to contact me directly about content enquiries, otherwise book a place via the email below. Best Steve > BEYOND THE MOUSE INTRODUCTION TO INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS > 01 FEBRUARY 2007 | TUTOR: STEVE SYMONS > Many artists have found that the only way to construct the > interactive environments they > need is to work with sophisticated programming tools such as MAX/ > MSP and to build > control devices directly into programmable integrated circuits. > This session aims to > support an understanding of these fairly esoteric tools and to > demonstrate the devices and > processes that have been used by others.
