RjDJ News item - Friday, November 27th,
The New York reactive music experience
We finally managed to jump over the big pond and will land in New York with the
premier of our new child the RJC-1000 [1] on the 11th of December and an RjDj
workshop on the 12th of December. Both events will be kindly hosted by our
friends at Eyebeam [2]. So all you RjDj lovers in New York, it would be great
meeting you at the first Reactive Music Experience in New York.
The RJC-1000 is our top secret project …
[View More]that we were working on for the last
couple of months and which we will release soon. We will present the software
on the 11th and also play it live on the event. This is good news for everyone
interested in creating his own RjDj scenes. In the workshop on the 12th of
december we will also give deeper insights into how to use PD to create RjDj
scenes.
Check out the New York experience page for more details about the event:

We now have the Pd Exhibition, a special exhibition section of main Pd
website, puredata.info. The puredata.info exhibition page is a place
to show works made with any of the many flavors of Pd. Though I am
currently the only contributor, it is designed to be open for all to
contribute to. The only hard rule about posting to the Pd Exhibition:
you can post about any project made with any flavor of Pd, you just
cannot post projects that you worked …
[View More]on or are affilliated with.
So start adding posts! Here's how:

Hi list,
i just started a regular blog contribution at Vague
Terrain<http://vagueterrain.net/>
a web based digital arts publication. My aim is to present and possibly
discuss works, events, festivals and whatever related to FLOSS practice
within the new media artistic environment.
In the case someone out there wishes to share his/her work please write me
off-list.
thanks!
cheers

December 5, 2009
12:00 – 1:30 PM : Introductory workshop on Pd with Hans-Christoph
Steiner
2:00 – 6:00 PM : SkillShare w/Steiner and members of RjDj programming
team
Free, capacity for up to 30 participants
RSVP HERE: http://tinyurl.com/ykaq3l3
Hans-Christoph Steiner returns to Eyebeam with members of the RjDj
programming team from Europe to help turn your iPhone or iPod-Touch
into a programmable, generative, and interactive sound-processor!…
[View More]
Create a variable echo, whose timing varies according to the phone's
tilt-sensor or an audio synthesizer that responds to your gestures,
accelerations and touches. Abuse the extensive sound capabilities of
the Pure Data programming language to blend generative music, audio
analysis, and synthy goodness. If you're familiar with the awesome
RjDj, then you already know the possibilities of Pure Data on the
iPhone or iPod Touch (2nd and 3rd generation Touch only).
Creating and uploading your own sound-processing and sound-generating
patches can be as easy as copying a text file to your device! In this
4-hour hands-on SkillShare, interactive sound whiz and Pure Data
developer Hans-Christoph Steiner and several of the original RjDj
programers will lead you through all the steps necessary to turn your
phone into a pocket synth.
How Eyebeam SkillShares work
Eyebeam's SkillShares are Peer-to-Peer working/learning sessions that
provide an informal context to develop new skills alongside leading
developers and artists. They are for all levels and start with an
introduction and overview of the topic, after which participants with
similar projects or skill levels break off into small groups to work
on their project while getting feedback and additional instruction and
ideas from their group. It's a great way to level-up your skills and
meet like-minded people. This SkillShare is especially well-suited for
electronic musicians and other people who have experience programming
sound. Some knowledge of sound analysis and synthesis techniques will
go a long way.
We’ll also take a lunch break in the afternoon including a special
informal meeting about how to jailbreak your iPhone!
Your Skill Level
All levels of skill are OK as long as you have done something with Pd
or Max/MSP before. If you consider yourself a beginner It would help a
lot to run through the Pd audio tutorials before attending.
NOTE: On the day of the SkillShare we will hold an introductory
workshop from 12:00 until 1:30 PM, led by Steiner, for those who want
to make sure they're up-to-speed before the actual SkillShare starts
at 2:00. The introductory workshop is for people who have some done
something in Pd or Max/MSP but are still relative beginners in the
area of electronic sound programming.
What You Should Bring
You'll need to bring your iPhone or iPod Touch (2nd or 3rd generation
Touch only), your own laptop, a headset with a built-in mic
(especially if using an iPod Touch) and the data cable you use to
connect your device to your laptop. Owing to a terrific hack, you
won't even need an Apple Developer License for your device!
More Information
RjDj is an augmented reality app that uses the power of the new
generation personal music players like iPhone and iPod Touch to create
mind blowing hearing sensations. The RjDj app makes a number of
downloadable scenes from different artists available as well as the
opportunity to make your own and share them with other users. RjDj.me
Pd (aka Pure Data) is a real-time graphical programming environment
for audio, video, and graphical processing. Pd is free software, and
works on multiple platforms, and therefore is quite portable; versions
exist for Win32, IRIX, GNU/Linux, BSD, and MacOS X running on anything
from a PocketPC to an old Mac to a brand new PC. Recent developments
include a system of abstractions for building performance
environments, and a library of objects for physical modeling for sound
synthesis.

*Call for projects on digital facades:
Open Up**
*
Deadline: *December 10, 2009 **
*Dates of the workshop: *February 9 through 23, 2010
*Venue: *Medialab-Prado* in Madrid (Spain).
Worskhop tutors: *Jordi Claramonte, Chandler McWilliams, Casey Reas,*
and *Víctor Viña*. Directed and coordinated by *Nerea Calvillo*.* *
Open Up is a workshop for the development of projects for the digital
façade in Medialab-Prado's building. This call is addressed to the
presentation of proposals to be …
[View More]collaboratively developed during the
workshop-seminar taking place in Madrid from February 9 through 23, 2010.
The goal is to explore the relation between the urban screen and public
space, to experiment with the screen's communicative, narrative and
visual capacities and to investigate its potential to offer new forms of
participation such as receiving and participating in the different
phases of content production. Selected projects will be developed under
the supervision of teachers, technical assistants and an extensive group
of collaborators.
Projects presented in this call will have to explore aspects such as:
development of strategies for public participation, activation of urban
space through the screen, foster public visibility of agents that
normally have none, visualization of public collectives; interaction
with portable devices, etc.
All those interested in collaborating in one of the selected projects
can sign in from *J**anuary 5 through February 8, 2010*.
Check the call guidelines and submit your project before *December 10,
2009*.* *No entry fees.*

Ardour is a full-featured, free and open-source hard disk recorder and
digital audio workstation software suitable for professional use. New
and experienced users of Ardour are invited to "learn by documenting"
during this combination workshop and book sprint.
A book sprint brings together a group of writers, editors and artists to
go from an outline to a published book in just five days. We will use
this format to give workshop participants tasks which they will learn to
complete in Ardour, and which they will then document for the Ardour
FLOSS Manual. This is an exciting opportunity both to acquire new skills
as well as share them with others in the form of a book!
The workshop will be split into two sessions: an evening session
focusing on learning the software and creating chapters for the FLOSS
Manual, and an afternoon session focusing on editing, proofreading and
correcting the workshop texts. At the end of the week, we hope to have a
beginner's manual covering these and other topics:
Introduction: What is Ardour?
Installing Jack & Qjackctl: Linux
Installing JackOSX: OSX
Installing Ardour: Linux

Participants who would like to join us in Rotterdam should sign up via:
workshop(a)moddr.net
Interested remote participants should create a login on the Ardour FLOSS
Manual page: http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Ardour/
and communicate with us via the FLOSS Manuals chat interface on the
website or at: irc.freenode.net #flossmanuals
