Blank Pages Berlin - search for a place
by matohawk 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

Hello Pd-user, We are Thomas Thiery and Pierce Warnecke and we are coming to Berlin in september (3 - 7) for gigs and for the project Blank Pages. We have a projet called Blank Pages (see bellow for details) and we would like to organize a session on sunday the 6 of september in Berlin. We are looking for a place in Berlin and once thats done we'll recruit participants. If you are interested by the project and think you can spare some time/info to help us to find a place that would really be great. Thanks in advance! For more information : www.blankpages.fr <http://www.blankpages.fr> The project, "Blank Pages" or "Pages Blanches" This project is based on a score that leads to the meeting and the improvisation of musicians, video artists and programmers (Max/MSP, Puredata). The "Blank pages" score, describes the situation in 4 points: 1- Each participant has to use one of the two programming language written by Miller Puckette, Pure Data or Max/MSP. 2- The session length is fixed to 60 min. 3- Participants need to start a session with an empty programming page. 4- It is strictly forbidden to load or recall any program during the session. Each participant has a computer and one of the mentioned applications, and elaborates a program that will make sound and/or video. Max/MSP and Pure Data programming languages permit to write and modify applications in a live situation, while continuing to work on the application itself, therefore one can code and immediately listen to this code result. There are no links between the computers, the participants have to listen and watch the others in order to play together. With the score and the four instructions, the listening is stimulated, and the quality of the audio-visual production becomes everyone's responsibility. Cheers Thomas and Pierce

by Arshia Cont 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

(Apologies for cross-postings) (Do not hesitate to forward to interested colleagues) (French version below) Call for Projects 2010: Musical Research Residency Program Ircam (Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics and Music) offers a unique experimental environment where composers can expand their musical experience through the concepts found in new technologies. These technologies are developed as a result of challenges posed both by new musical ideas and new domains investigated by scientific teams. At Ircam, this interactive process is called “musical research”. Ircam is inviting artists to submit projects for the first musical research residency program in 2010. The musical research residency program is open to international artists, regardless of age or nationality, who wish to carry out their musical research using Ircam’s facilities and extensive research environment. Candidates will be nominated through a selection procedure involving international experts, based on research background and musical motivation, as well as the quality of the proposed project through the online call for proposals. Preference is given to new personalities to the Ircam scene. Upon nomination, each candidate will be granted a residency at Ircam during a specific period (three or six months) and in association with a team/project at Ircam. In addition, laureates receive an equivalent of 1200 Euros per month to cover expenses in France. For the year 2010, we invite projects on (but not limited to) the following research themes: • Spatial sound composition • Compositional and high-level control of sound synthesis • New paradigms for the gestural control of computer music • Novel compositional approaches to voice processing and/or synthesis In addition to the proposed themes, we encourage applicants with novel and unexplored research ideas to apply within the “open call” category. Submission Deadline: July 31, 2009 More Information and submission procedure: http://www.ircam.fr/875.html?L=1 Department of Musical Research mrc-residency(a)ircam.fr ------------ Appel à projet 2010: Résidence de Recherche Musicale L’Ircam (Institut de recherche et coordination acoustique/musique) offre un environnement unique pour l’expérimentation, permettant aux compositeurs d’étendre leur expérience musicale et de repenser leur pratique à travers les concepts et idées liés aux développements des nouvelles technologies les plus récentes. Ces technologies sont le résultat des défis posés aussi bien par les impulsions artistiques que par les nouveaux domaines de recherche explorés par les équipes scientifiques. À l’Ircam, ce processus interactif est appelé “Recherche musicale”. Le Programme de résidences de recherche musicale est ouvert aux artistes internationaux, sans condition d’âge ou de nationalité, qui souhaitent conduire un projet de recherche musicale en bénéficiant des facilités matérielles proposées à l’Ircam et de la richesse de son environnement de recherche. Les candidats seront choisis selon un processus de sélection faisant appel à l’expertise de chercheurs internationaux. Les critères principaux seront ceux des références dans le domaine de la recherche et de l’intérêt artistique des projets présentés via l’ “Appel à projet en ligne”. Une fois nommés, chaque candidat se verra proposer une résidence à l’Ircam pour une durée de trois ou six mois, éventuellement renouvelable pour réaliser son projet en lien étroit avec les équipes de recherche de l’Ircam. Le candidat recevra une indemnité forfaitaire de l'ordre 1200 euros par mois pour couvrir ses frais pendant sa résidence en France. Pour 2010, les principales thématiques des projets de recherche que nous attendons concernent : • Écriture de l’espace (contrôle de la directivité et trajectoire spatiale) • Écriture du son (de la synthèse) • Paradigmes d’informatique musicale pour le contrôle gestuel de haut niveau, • Nouvelles approches compositionnelles aux traitements ou synthèse de la voix. Au-delà des les thématiques proposées, nous encourageons les candidates souhaitant aborder des questions nouvelles ou des domaines de recherche inexplorés à postuler sous la catégorie “appel ouverte ”. Date limite de candidature: 31 Juillet 2009 Plus d'information et procédure de candidature: http://www.ircam.fr/875.html

The Pd club will be a periodic, informal gathering (a "patching circle") where Providence-area "patchers" can work together, exchange ideas, trouble-shoot, and learn from one-another. The club is open to all, from beginners to experts. Artists, students, teachers, programmers, hobbyists, and the "just-curious" are welcome. The only requirements are that you like a challenge and have a laptop. On the agenda for the first meeting will be an introduction to Pd by Shawn Greenlee. Shawn will cover the basics of patching, working with sound, and handling communication with Arduino boards and MIDI devices. Before the meeting adjourns, we'll get beginners up and running and determine the summer schedule for meetings. What to bring: your laptop with Pd-extended installed. ------------------------------------------- Shawn Greenlee http://greenlee.02909.com seg(a)02909.com -------------------------------------------

The fourth edition of make art – What The Fork?! distributed and open practices in FLOSS art - will take place in Poitiers (FR), from the 7th to the 13th of December 2009. make art offers performances, presentations, workshops and an exhibition, focused on the encounter between digital art and free software. We're currently seeking new, innovative FLOSS works and projects: music and audiovisual performances, presentations, software demos, and installations. This year make art focuses on distributed and open practices in FLOSS art. 'What the fork?!' is about decentralisation. Forking is the new black. Forking, copying the source code of a project and continuing work on the copy instead of the original, used to have a bad reputation. It would split a project and its developer community in pieces, leading to different, often incompatible, projects. Wasted effort, rivalry and developer fights were all associated concepts. This is history. Forking a project with the intention to compete with it is another story, but the freedom to fork enables quick implementation of features and customization, bypassing acquiring committer status, bugfix or feature request protocol, working in a distributed way, together with others but not necessarily towards one goal, working from one source, cross-fertilising, inspiring, copying, patching, improving, experimenting, changing direction, and merging. This practice is boosted by decentralised software development tools, such as Darcs, Mercurial and Git. It's not about quick hacks, but about creating room to experiment, letting go of the one working copy and creating a multiplicity of ideas. Deadline : 15th of July 2009.
