Zbigniew Karkowski workshop in Berlin, 9th & 10th November 2009
by Derek Holzer 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

9th & 10th November 2009 Theoretical and Aesthetic approaches to composition – a 2day Workshop with Zbigniew Karkowski Born in Krakow, Poland, in 1958, Zbigniew Karkowski is one of the most significant artists working in the field of experimental and contemporary music. For the first time in Berlin, he will give a workshop for sound artists, musicians or composers who are interested in his approach to composition and live performance on both the technical and formal level. This workshop gives the participants an opportunity to gain insight into the working methods of on one of the most challenging composers / performers of electronic music today. Karkowski will teach the participants about his aesthetic and conceptual approaches towards composition through an in depth analysis of some of his own pieces as well as exploring the compositional concepts that are inherent to the design of his Max and Super Collider patches. Along these lines aesthetic approaches towards the use of sound textures, timbres and the technical aspects of sound production will also be covered. Finally he will share his experiences and ideological beliefs about live performance and composition. Karkowski studied composition at the State College of Music in Gothenburg, Sweden, aesthetics of modern music at the University of Gothenburg’s Department of Musicology, and computer music at the Chalmers University of Technology. After the completion of his studies in Sweden, he has studied sonology for a year at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Den Haag, Netherlands. During these years, he attended many summer composition master courses (Centre Acanthes in France) where he studied with Pierre Boulez, Iannis Xenakis, Olivier Messiaen, and Georges Aperghis. He has produced numerous works in the fields of both acoustic and electronic music and has written 3 pieces for large orchestra, an opera and several chamber music works. Karkowski was also a founding member of the electroacoustic music performance trio“Sensorband” (with Atau Tanaka and Edwin van der Heide) and collaborated with artists like Francisco Lopez, Blixa Bargeld, Merzbow, Pita, Hafler trio,… Based in Tokyo, Karkowski has a large collection of releases and regularly presents his work all over the world. http://www.myspace.com/zbigniewkarkowski location: NK Elsenstr. 52 2HH 2Etage Berlin 12059 Tel nr. +49 (0)17620626386 http://www.myspace.com/enka52 When: Nov 9 & 10 ,2009 hours 14:00-19:00 Fee: 100€ Number of participants is limited to 15.

The RjDj (and Pd) Reactive Music Forum is there!
by Frank Barknecht 05 Nov '09

Join us at the RjDj Reactive Music Forum: ========================================= http://more.rjdj.me/forum/ After more than a year, RjDj has developed into one of the most loved music applications on iPod/iPhone. Literally thousands of music lovers spend hours listening to reactive, algorithmic, generative new music generated in realtime on their little mobile computers. Even musicians like Carl Craig dive into the RjDj world by now. The music of RjDj is composed with Pure Data as the RjDj composition software. It's pretty cool to know that Pd patches are enjoyed by people around the world in Europe, the States, Japan, wherever. We @ Reality Jockey felt like it would be beneficial to create a place where the experience and creation of reactive music could be discussed, both in relation to RjDj and beyond - so we have created a reactive music forum for just that. So there it is: We're pleased to announce the opening of the "RjDj Reactive Music Forum": http://more.rjdj.me/forum/ New Scenes available ==================== In not totally unrelated news we also have many new Scenes available on rjdj.me, most of them free as in beer or even speech. There is stuff from Japan: http://more.rjdj.me/2009/11/03/new-scenes-from-japan/ where RjDj is becoming big as Natto, or half a dozen new Scenes by Pd experts like Martin Brinkmann: http://more.rjdj.me/2009/10/15/half-a-dozen-new-scenes/ All this is Pd vanilla btw. :) And of course your music could be a part of the reactive music experience as well. Just read http://more.rjdj.me/composer/ to see what changes you may have to make to your existing Pd patch to tranform it into a scene for RjDj - and then how to upload it to rjdj.me. Maybe your scene will be the next big thing? Ciao -- Frank Barknecht

Pd on iPhone/rjdj workshop @ Mobile Art+Code, Fri-Sun, Pittsburgh
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

I'll be teaching a workshop on interactive sound using Pd on the iPhone (aka rjdj :) as part of the upcoming Mobile Art+Code workshop at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is this Sunday, Nov. 8th. There are two sessions, a morning and afternoon. http://artandcode.ning.com/page/interactive-sound-on-the http://puredata.info/docs/workshops/MobileArtAndCodePdOnTheIPhone .hc ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Looking at things from a more basic level, you can come up with a more direct solution... It may sound small in theory, but it in practice, it can change entire economies. - Amy Smith

Call for Participation: Int. Symposium on Ambisonics and Spherical Acoustics, 2010
by Markus Noisternig 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

[Apologies for possible multiple copies] ----------------------------------------------------------- 2nd Int. Symposium on Ambisonics and Spherical Acoustics May 6-7, Paris, France, 2010 ambi10 - First Call for Participation http://ambisonics10.ircam.fr Dear Colleagues, We would like to announce the 2nd International Symposium on Ambisonics and Spherical Acoustics, which will be organized by IRCAM, together with LIMSI-CNRS and France Telecom/Orange Labs. The Symposium will be held to provide an intensive exchange between industrial and academic researchers working in various research areas on spherical acoustics. The field of spatial sound reproduction is interdisciplinary by nature and closely related to a number of computer science and engineering areas such as acoustics, mathematics, signal processing, and perception. The symposium focuses on discussing the various problems and solutions concerning the capture, analysis, and re-synthesis of sound fields applying spherical acoustics; for example higher-order Ambisonics (HOA), and spherical microphone arrays. The symposium is going to be divided into oral presentations (keynotes and submissions), poster sessions, and two demonstration sessions (artistic and technical). This symposium will benefit from a hemi- spherical loudspeaker array that will be installed for the duration of the symposium, which will be held in the Espace de projection, the variable acoustics performance hall of Ircam. Original contributions are encouraged in, but not limited to, the following topics: * General considerations on spherical acoustics theory * Ambisonic for sound scene reproduction and virtual acoustic environments * Spherical microphone array systems and signal processing * Capture and analysis of radiation patterns * Spherical acoustic holography * Synthesis of directional and focused sound sources * Spherical loudspeaker array systems and signal processing * Theoretical considerations on comparative subjective and objective studies * Standardization, exchange, implementation and hardware issues Submission ========== Submissions will be judged based on extended abstracts (1000 words). Procedures to submit papers, posters, and demo sessions are detailed at the symposium website http://ambisonics10.ircam.fr. Final papers must be camera-ready conforming to the format specified on the submission website. Several excellent papers will be selected for collective submission to Acta Acustica united with Acustica. These papers will be expanded versions of the presented works, and will go through the standard peer review process. The official language of the symposium is English. Important dates =============== * Extended abstract (1000 words) submission due: January 8th, 2010 * Papers, Notification of acceptance due: February 19th, 2010 * Camera-ready copy (full paper): March 12, 2010 * Registration opens: March 22, 2010 * Late Registration: April 12, 2010 * Submission of Audio Material for Testing: April 19, 2010 * Symposium Dates: May 6-7, 2010 Symposium Chairs ================ General Co-Chairs Markus Noisternig (IRCAM - UMR CNRS) Brian FG Katz (LIMSI - CNRS) Rozenn Nicol (France Telecom - Orange Labs) Technical Program Co-Chairs Nicolas Misdariis (IRCAM - UMR CNRS) Olivier Warusfel (IRCAM) Administration Chair Sylvie Benoit (IRCAM)
