In this workshop I will discuss complex dynamical feedback systems for
human-machine interaction performance, autonomous sound installations
and non-conventional sound synthesis. The workshop will be divided into
two parts: a theoretical one, and a more practical one. In the first
part, I will talk about the properties of feedback systems from a
systemic and cybernetic perspective within the framework of emergent and
complex phenomena, along with theoretical concepts related to such an
approach for creative practices. In the second part, I will present some
of my works and techniques, and the implementation of such systems
through the Pure Data programming environment, analog devices or other
softwares, although such systems can be machine-independent and the
technical description provided makes it possible to implement these
techniques in other environments.

Dear all,
at 10:00am (in about 10 minutes), the Linux Audio Conference 2013 is
about to start.
There is a live stream available, so you can follow the event, even if
you have not made it physically to Graz
http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2013/stream
Remote participants are invited to join #lac2013 on irc.freenode.net[1],
to be able to take part in the discussions, ask questions, and get
technical assistance in case of stream problems.
See you on the conference - here and everywhere

I just posted v1.0.14 of the Library Template that fixes some build issues on recent Mac OS X and Android:
https://puredata.info/downloads/template
If you are starting a library or want to port your existing library to multiple platforms, then the Library Template will make things much easier for you. Libraries in this format are very easy to install and they integrate tightly with Pd, providing things like namespace support, meta data for the search function, a listing in the Help Browser, etc. It handles building on all supported platforms (currently GNU/Linux, GNU/Hurd, GNU/kFreeBSD, Mac OS X/Universal, Windows/MinGW, Windows/Cygwin, Android, Apple iOS). Using this template makes it trivially easy to package your library for Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Gentoo, etc.

Hi there, I'm releasing a simple vanilla patch.
I stole the idea from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT5-yXaLpwA
Here's the patch, which does more stuff...
https://sites.google.com/site/porres/ringtone.zip
I got more ideas that I wanna implement later, as well as some
enhancements. But this is enough fun for you and all your family.
I'd love to see you try it on your raspberry Pis. I don't have my around
just now, but I think it's a light patch that will run smoothly on it.
Cheers
Dear Pd'rs,
the Xth Sense (made in Pd/Linux) is at the core of this large-scale
biophysical interactive dance project we premiere today in New York.
Some pics of the backstage at the bottom website link.
Feel free to distribute through your networks!
best wishes,

Rensselaer Arts PHD Candidate, Heidi Boisvert, premieres performance at
EMPAC that cultivates an expressive virtual world populated by corporeal
sounds and generative imagery from dancers' bodies.
TROY, NY - April 8th, 2013 - The Arts Department at Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute announces the premiere of a mechanomyogram (MMG) multi-media
production, "[radical] signs of life," on May 3rd at 4:00 pm and May 4th at
7:30 pm in Studio 2 at the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center
(EMPAC). Through responsive dance, "[radical] signs of life" externalizes
the mind’s non-hierarchical distribution of thought. Music is generated
from the dancers‘ muscles and blood flow via biophysical sensors that
capture sound waves from the performers’ bodies. This data triggers complex
neural patterns to be projected onto multiple screens as 3D imagery. As the
audience interacts with the images produced, they enter into a dialogue
with the dancers.
The performance makes use of biophysical technology to integrate networked
bodies and interactive dance. It was conceived and directed by new media
artist and game designer Heidi Boisvert in collaboration with an
international team of artists, including Pauline Jennings (Choreographer),
Doug Van Nort (Sound Designer), Allen Hahn (Set & Lighting Designer), Raven
Kwok (Visual Designer), Amy Nielson (Costume Designer) and Marco Donnarumma
(Sensor Designer & Developer). The project features the Xth Sense (XS), a
biophysical sensor that detects and captures mechanical sound waves
produced at the onset of musculature contraction. For "[radical] signs of
life," a wireless network and stand alone armband was custom developed for
the XS by engineer MJ Caselden, and industrial designer, Krystal Pernaud.
The choreography for the hour-long performance will be composed in
real-time by five dancers from a shared movement database in accordance
with pre-determined rules. Outfitted with two wireless sensors each, the
dancers--Jennifer Mellor, Ellen Smith Ahern, Hanna Satterlee, Avi Waring
and Willow Wonder--will create patterns that dissolve from autonomous
polyrhythms to intersecting lines as they slip through generative video and
light.
"[radical] signs of life" was produced, in part, at Harvestworks with funds
from the Rockefeller Foundation’s New York City Cultural Innovation Fund
and the National Endowment for the Arts. The work was made possible through
generous support from the Rensselaer Arts Department along with iEAR
Studios, and EMPAC staff. Rehearsal space was granted by an Artistic
Residency at the Contemporary Dance and Fitness Center in Montpelier,
Vermont.
Limited Seating. Reservations recommended. To make reservations, please
