Final CFP - Musical Metacreation 2012 - Deadline July 6
by Graeme McCaig 28 Jun '12

28 Jun '12

====================== CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ====================== ((( MUME 2012 ))) 1st International Workshop on Musical Metacreation http://www.metacreation.net/mume2012/ Held at the Eighth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment (AIIDE'12) Stanford, Palo Alto, California, USA October 9, 2012 ---------------------- Deadline for Paper and Demo Submissions: *** July 6, 2012 *** ====================== We are delighted to announce the 1st International Workshop on Musical Metacreation (MUME2012) to be held October 9, 2012, in conjunction with the Eighth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment (AIIDE'12). Thanks to continued progress in artistic and scientific research, a new possibility is emerging in our musical relationship with technology: Generative Music or Musical Metacreation, the design and use of computer music systems which are "creative on their own". Metacreation involves using tools and techniques from artificial intelligence, artificial life, and machine learning, themselves often inspired by cognitive and life sciences. Musical Metacreation suggests exciting new opportunities to enter creative music making: discovery and exploration of novel musical styles and content, collaboration between human performers and creative software "partners", and design of systems in gaming and entertainment that dynamically generate or modify music. The workshop will bring together artists, practitioners and researchers interested in developing software and systems that autonomously (or interactively) recognize, learn, represent, complete, accompany, compose or interpret music. In particular, emphasis will be put on systems with real-time aspects, since these are relevant to both art and entertainment communities. Topics ====== We encourage paper and demo submissions on topics including the following: * Novel representations of musical information * Systems for autonomous or interactive music composition * Systems for automatic generation of expressive musical interpretation * Systems for learning or modelling music style and structure * Systems for intelligently remixing or recombining musical material * Advances or applications of AI, machine learning, and statistical techniques for musical purposes * Advances or applications of evolutionary computing or agent and multiagent-based systems for musical purposes * Computational models of human musical creativity * Techniques and systems for supporting human musical creativity * Online musical systems (i.e. systems with a real-time element) * Adaptive music in video games * Methodologies for, and studies reporting on, evaluation of musical metacreations * Emerging musical styles and approaches to music production and performance involving the use of AI systems * Applications of Musical Metacreation for digital entertainment: sound design, soundtracks, video games, etc. Format and Submissions ====================== The workshop will be a one day event including: * Presentations of TECHNICAL PAPERS * Presentations of POSITION PAPERS relevant to Musical Metacreation and its future * Presentations of DEMONSTRATIONS * One or more PANEL SESSIONS (potential topics include international collaborations, evaluation methodologies, industry engagement, generative music in art vs. games) For complete details on attendance, submissions and formatting, please visit the workshop website: *** http://www.metacreation.net/mume2012/ *** Important Dates =============== Submission deadline: July 6, 2012 Notification date: August 3, 2012 Accepted author CRC due to AAAI Press: August 15, 2012 Workshop date: October 9, 2012 Workshop Organizers =================== Dr. Philippe Pasquier (Workshop Chair) School of Interactive Arts and Technology (SIAT) Simon Fraser University Dr. Arne Eigenfeldt School for the Contemporary Arts Simon Fraser University Dr. Oliver Bown Design Lab, Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning The University of Sydney ---------------------- http://www.metacreation.net/mume2012/ ======================

23 Jun '12

Hi all, Pd version 0.43-3 test1 is available on http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.htm or via git from sourceforge: git clone git://pure-data.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/pure-data/pure-data There are small bug fixes (tabread4~ from very small tables; UTF-8 string overflow fix; array deletion while used in DSP). Also tried to fix the problems with MIDI input (actually USB "virtual MIDI" inputs) overflowing queues. Also adapted a GUI optimization by Hans-Cristophe that might make large graphical tables work somewhat better. cheers Miller

Seminar: Realtime Sound Spatialization with Wave Field Synthesis (18-20 June, Barcelona)
by l'ull cec 08 Jun '12

08 Jun '12

REALTIME SOUND SPATIALIZATION WITH WAVE FIELD SYNTHESIS (led by Arthur Sauer and Wouter Snoei) This 3-day seminar will deal with both musical and technical issues surrounding spatial composition, focusing in particular on working with wave field synthesis systems. The seminar will be taught by Arthur Sauer and Wouter Snoei, two of the core members of the The Game Of Life FoundationÂ‘s team. The foundation's unique mobile wave field synthesis system (composed of 192 speakers and 12 subwoofers) will be available on-site for participants to experiment and gain hands-on familiarity with space as a compositional parameter. Wave field synthesis is a technique for sound spatialization. It produces Â“artificialÂ” wave fronts synthesized by a large number of individually driven speakers. Such wave fronts seem to originate from a virtual starting point. Contrary to traditional spatialization techniques such as stereo, the localization of virtual sources in WFS does not depend on or change with the listenerÂ’s position. As opposed to most multichannel systems, WFS has no sweet spot and allows for a wider optimal listening area. Language: English Level: Aimed at musicians, composers, sound and media artists, music software developers. Participants will be organized into two groups according to their background and experience. The first group will work with a graphical GUI interface and requires just basic sound editing knowledge. The second group will use the SuperCollider interface to the wave field synthesis system and therefore requires previous familiarity with this environment. Tutors: Arthur Sauer and Wouter Snoei. Dates: Monday 18.06.2012, 10:00-18:00 (with lunch break) Tuesday 19.06.2012, 10:00-18:00 (with lunch break) Wednesday 20.06.2012, 10:00-18:00 (with lunch break) Location: Fabra i Coats Â– FÃ brica de CreaciÃ³.

LABOR is a platform where the objectives of partner institutions appear jointly: • support of emerging artists • projects related to the contemporary art education • experimental initiatives advancing or reflecting on the structural changes of the contemporary art world • cooperation between art and the scientific and technical domains • events organized in the framework of international collaborations. The purpose of the collaboration is to create a flexible, shared (art) space that provides a platform for art research as well as exhibitions, projects and occasional events. LABOR aims to emphasize the social responsibility of contemporary art and its role in knowledge production. It organizes discursive programs to strengthen the debate- and discussion-culture of the local art world involving other fields of culture. LABOR recently opened Book Space, a reading room and library where current theoretical texts, magazines, and publications on visual culture are available. http://www.labor.c3.hu/

DIY synth-building workshop with Dirty Electronics: The Racket! (13 June, Barcelona)
by l'ull cec 06 Jun '12

06 Jun '12

Take part in a hands-on building session and rehearsal of pieces for the Dirty Electronics Racket! The Racket! is a DIY kit that introduces a number of key building blocks of analogue synthesiser design and Dirty Electronics aesthetics. It features an oscillator, wave shaping, noise generation, filtering, feedback and touch control. It is designed to be made on stripboard using wire connections as well as having a small copper etched artwork printed circuit board as a touch control. The Dirty Electronics Racket! epitomises a DIY spirit. Small thrifty synth, massive sound! Requires 9v battery and external amplification. No prior knowledge of electronics is needed. The workshop concludes with a performance by Dirty Electronics and pieces for the Racket! For example, Hug is a piece for the Racket! and portable amps (Dirty Cardboard Box Amp) that are worn by performers. A cacophony of noise is created. Other performers stop/mute the racket by hugging their noisy friends. Since 2003, John Richards has been exploring the idea of Dirty Electronics that focuses on face-to-face shared experiences, ritual, gesture, touch and social interaction. In Dirty Electronics, process and performance are inseparably bound. The performance begins on the workbench devising instruments and is extended onto the stage through playing and exploring these instruments. Level: Introductory. Anyone can join! Date: Wednesday 13.06.2012, 16:00-22.00h. Location: Fabra i Coats Fàbrica de Creació. Sant Adrià, 20. Barcelona. Metro Sant Andreu. Price: 50 (includes workshop participation and instrument to take home) To sign up or for further information, please send an email to info(a)lullcec.org. + info: [ http://lullcec.org/en/2012/workshops/dirty-electronics/ ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ web: [ http://lullcec.org/ ] facebook: [ http://facebook.com/lullcec ] twitter: [ http://twitter.com/lullcec ]
