Dears,
it's with great pleasure that I forward you the dates of this upcoming
Poland tour.
You'll find dates and location below.
Curated by Maciej Ozog, Bios@Techne@Art is a program of performative events
spanning 4 major cities in Poland. The aim is to foster discussion around
the role of biotechnologies in performance art, and explore how such
framework can inform the cultural perception of the body.
According to each venue, I'll be performing three diverse pieces of
biophysical music for the open and free instrument Xth Sense (Pd/Linux
based):
- Music for Flesh II, solo piece for enhanced body
- Ominous, incarnated sound sculpture
- Hypo Chrysos, action art for vexed body

Each concert will also see on stage:
- Maciej Ozog's Transient Body / Liminal Space,
- Gerard Lebik's Tractography Neural Tracts Noise

(sorry for x-post)
Dear all!
I'm happy to share with you Nigredo, a new work just created during a
residency at STEIM, which might be of interest.
made with Pd, Xth Sense, and Arduino, on a Linux system.
Video documentation and details at
http://marcodonnarumma.com/works/nigredo/
"Nigredo is a private 8 minutes artwork to be experienced by one visitor at
a time. Drawing from studies in analytical psychology, human sensory
systems, and biotechnologies, the piece offers an intimate and uncanny
experience of one’s internal self. Namely, the work investigates how
perceptual deprivation can affect alterity, or otherness, that is the aware
distinction between self and not-self.
The work uses ad hoc biophysical methods and wearable bioacoustic
technology to stimulate a continuous sensorial feedback within the
visitor’s own body. In a small, blacked out room a visitor sits alone
facing a mirror, and wired to on-body sensors. The low frequency sound
pulses of heart, muscular and vein tissues produced by the visitor’s body
are captured, augmented, and fed back to the subject’s sensory system as
new auditive, visual, and physical stimuli. Intense surround sound,
pulsating lights, and mechanical vibrations are diffused through the
subject's ears, eyes, bones, and skull... The combined skeletal resonance,
sound stimuli, and light pulse produce a constant and intense stimulation
field that alters the movement of the internal organs, and the behaviour of
the optical nerves..."
feedback are most welcome!
best wishes,

Hi all
After almost a year not having announced version 2.0 of netpd, version
2.1 is released now. netpd 2.x is complete rewrite of the netpd that you
may have known from several years ago.
http://www.netpd.org/Download
netpd - a Collaborative Realtime Networked Music Making Environment
-------------------------------------------------------------------
netpd allows many users to have a realtime jam sessions with each other,
connected over the net.
Users might contribute their own netpd-ized patches a.k.a. instruments
or use pre-existing ones. The set of patches, as well as the state of
each is synchronized between clients in order to provide identical
experience for every connected user.
netpd was designed with music in mind, but it might serve well also
other purposes, where realtime state synchronization is a requirement.
release notes
-------------
2.1
* Improved reliability of finding a sync peer (breaks compatibility
with v2.0)
* Added non-blocking until [netpd-nb-until]
* Turning DSP off on dynamic creation is now a configurable option
(see chat's preferences)
* Prevent errors when checking for non-existing files (adds more
dependencies, though)
* Automatically load unpatch by cmdline option (useful for -nogui)
* Turn on/off printing of all incoming and outgoing OSC message with
cmdline option
* Turn on/off state messages for testing and debugging with cmdline
option
2.0
* Complete rewrite
* Messaging layer based on OSC
* Consequent use of namespaces
* Improved and more reliable state synchronization
* Faster patch synchronization
* More intelligent dependency resolving
* Multiple instances of the same instrument
* Non-blocking network layer (less audio drop-outs)
* Lots of bugfixes
Have fun!

Concordia Laptop Orchestra and Acoustic Friends - Liveware!
Thursday, March 7th, 2013 @ 19:00
Concordia Music Department
John Molson School of Business
1450 Guy St., 8th floor, room 245
Also webcast (see below)
Free admission!
This Thursday at 7 PM, come join Concordia Laptop Orchestra (CLOrk) for a casual evening concert with some excellent pieces by Michaël Bresse, Joe Browne, Michael Palumbo, and Ryan White, plus a closing CLOrk beat-jam.
Each piece utilizes the laptop orchestra medium in a very different manner:
In Michaël Bresses’s piece, the laptop orchestra will explore texture and space under his conduction.
In Joe Browne’s piece, bass trombonist Felix Del Tredici will interact as soloist with the laptop orchestra and with snippets of his own live sounds processed and spatialized in 8 channels.
In Michael Palumbo’s piece only one computer will play a sound, but 20 people will shape and transform it.
Ryan White’s meditative piece with Christian Brun del Re (drums) will utilize the laptop orchestra as a glitch percussion ensemble.
CLOrk’s beat jam is like… Mouse on Mars meets Autechre meets Tam Tams Montreal.
The show will be webcast (audio) at
http://mixlr.com/eldad-tsabary or http://pdradio.listen2myradio.com/ (plan B)

If anyone is in the area...or not...
I'll be playing with my new live audio manipulation tools at a gig in Euston, London this Tuesday 5th of March.
Some serious Pd reassemblage will happen in the music, so I'm sure it will be fun, but the gig is also going to be streamed live on the internet, so perhaps some of you in different zones will get to hear it.
More info as I get it about the stream, check out the flyer for details.
