We are reviving the New York City Patching Circle!
http://puredata.info/community/NYCPatchingCircle
We spend enough time alone staring at our computers; we are proposing
to work together. So often issues that arise when working can be
solved with a quick two minute discussion that would take hours to
solve alone. We have Dorkbot to see people's work, we have Share
where anyone can play, we have workshops and universities to learn
from. This is a meeting where we all can come to work.
This is an informal gathering of patching and patchers (Pd, Max/MSP/
Jitter, and even vvvv, EyesWeb, etc.). Beginners and Experienced
welcome. Open to everyone, students, the public, etc. Work on school
projects, personal projects, ask for help, help others, or just patch
quietly to yourself, in a room full of other people patching patches
and helping other people patch.
Time: Saturday, November 22nd, noon-6pm
Place: This meeting will take place in the Eyebeam Education Lab:
540 W. 21st Street, (between 10th and 11th Avenues)
New York, NY 10011
Tel. 212.937.6580
(Previous meetings were held at Brooklyn Polytechnic, now we are
roving.)

Dear Pd community,
RjDj is looking for a Pd patcher from Canada for a scene production with
G. Geiger and D. Taylor in Vancouver next week.
As some of you may have already noticed, RjDj on the iPhone is getting along
quite successful. Two weeks after RjDj launched in October, the application was
downloaded ~10.000 times, and the count is still growing. The reactive music
pieces for RjDj (we call them "Scenes") are written in Pd (vanilla), so now
there are 10.000 more people who have a variant of Pd installed and can listen
to Pd patches.
The main goal of RjDj is to give these people new food for their ears! To
reach this goal, RjDj tries to connect people from the Pd world with musicians
and producers in the "traditional" music area by doing sprints and also by
organizing studio sessions where Pd experts work with musicians on the
production of RjDj scenes to be released on the Iphone.
One such session will happen on
Nov 17-23 in Vancouver/CA
For this session we are looking for one additional Pd patcher!
If you want to take part, you will be working together with Guenter Geiger of
RjDj on the Pd side and music producer Damian Taylor (www.damiantaylor.com).
RjDj will financially support this gettogether and take care of hosting you, but
as we don't have endless money to burn, we're looking for people who can fly in
from a place that is not too far away from Vancouver, e.g. people from Canada,
Montreal, or so.
If all this sounds like it would be something for you, please contact us
offlist as soon as possible through: info(a)rjdj.me to discuss further details.
Keep on patching!
