[JOB] Pure Data Guru for Early Stage Startup - EEG Sonification
by Mikey Siegel 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

BioFluent Technologies <http://biofluent.com/> is a Santa Cruz, CA based early stage startup developing a consumer technology centered around the sonification of brain waves (EEG data). We are creating a soundtrack for the mind that needs to be appealing to a mainstream audience. We're looking for someone with a background in Pure Data who can work with electronic musicians (or independently) to create badass, totally immersive generative musical experiences. Signal processing / math skills are a plus. We are initially looking for short term contract work, but this may eventually lead to a part-time or full-time position. Please contact Mikey Siegel [mikey(a)biofluent.com] for more info. Also check out: http://www.biofluent.com/hearnow/ http://www.artistsonart.net/mikey-siegel-beau-silver/

(forgive any x-post) What your body can do? It can breathe, sweat, pulsate, bleed, cry, jump, walk and run, stay still, wait, think, feel and perceive, see, touch, smell, read, write and learn, communicate, surprise, seduce, entertain, love, die and become ashes. Concert of Bodies brings before your eyes sounding bodies in all their physicality. Sonorous, invisible, imaginary, impalpable, yet physical, visceral, pulsating and alive bodies! Join us for a night of music where sound materiality is caressed, touched, molded and torn only to escape the digital and reach out for your ears. Line Up: Marije Baalman (NL) Erfan Abdi (IR/NL) Marco Donnarumma (IT/UK) More: http://steim.org/event/concert-of-bodies/ DETAILS: DATE: 15th of March, 2014 TIME: 20:00 COST: EURO 7,50 (Students with a student card get a EURO 2,50 discount) LOCATION: STEIM Concert Space, Utrechtsedwarsstraat 134, Amsterdam Curated by Marco Donnarumma and STEIM best wishes, -- Marco Donnarumma Performer, body tinkerer, teacher and writer. #soundandmusic #biotech #freeculture EAVI - Goldsmiths, University of London ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Portfolio: http://marcodonnarumma.com Research: http://res.marcodonnarumma.com

The Xth Sense: make your own biowearable for interactive performance
by Marco Donnarumma 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

Dear all, I'll be back at STEIM this weekend with an intensive course on the biophysical instrument Xth Sense (Pd-based). Hope to see some of you there! This weekend course offers hands-on experience and theoretical training in the performance of biophysical music and visuals with the Xth Sense (XS). Workshop participants will build from scratch their own XS sensors, then learn how to analyze and map the data from their muscle and body movements to generate music, visuals, and do live processing of sound. Attention will also be paid to aesthetic considerations when using the XS system in artistic contexts. At the end of the workshop, participants will take home the XS bioacoustic sensors they built, and the related software for their own continued creative use. DETAILS: DATE: 15-16 MARCH, 2014 TIME: 10-17h each day COST: EURO 110 (includes EURO 25 sensor kit & parts) MAXIMUM PARTICIPANTS: 12 LOCATION: STEIM Concert Space, Utrechtsedwarsstraat 134, Amsterdam More info: http://steim.org/event/xth-sense-make-your-own-biophysical-sensor-for-inter… The Xth Sense in action: https://vimeo.com/86766860 Some topics covered in the workshop include: - Theoretical background on the state of art of gestural control of music - Introduction to the Xth Sense (XS) framework (technical overview, capabilities) - Building the wearable biosensor - An introduction to the open source artistic programming language PureData, tips and tricks for using PureData in live settings - Explorations of bioacoustic sound design capabilities - Building audio modules and signal processing chains - Aesthetics of bioacoustic sensor-based performance - Mapping muscle energy to control values and real-time processing - Designing an aesthetic vocabulary for body-sensor performance best wishes, -- Marco Donnarumma Performer, body tinkerer, teacher and writer. #soundandmusic #biotech #freeculture EAVI - Goldsmiths, University of London ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Portfolio: http://marcodonnarumma.com Research: http://res.marcodonnarumma.com

[Workshop NYC] The Xth Sense: make your own biophysical wearable for interactive sound and video
by Marco Donnarumma 03 Mar '14

03 Mar '14

[apologies for x-post] REVERSE is thrilled to announce a unique, one weekend workshop to be hosted at our space on Saturday March 8th and Sunday March 9th. The Xth Sense: Making your own Biophysical Sensor is a hands-on training in augmentation of the body for musical performance. The Xth Sense (XS) is a DIY biotechnological musical instrument that amplifies the muscle sound of the human body, and use them as control data and musical material for interactive performance. It is open source and it was named the "world's most innovative new musical instrument" by the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology (US, 2012). WHEN: Saturday March 8 and Sunday March 9, between 1-6 PM WHERE: Reverse Space, REGISTRATION: $300 REGULAR - $270 STUDENT (WITH ID) * Sensors are included The workshop will be limited to 12 participants. More info and registration at: http://reversespace.org/the-xth-sense-making-your-own-biophysical-sensor/ Developed by performer, body tinkerer, biotech creator and writer Marco Donnarumma, this two-session workshop will teach participants how to build their own XS sensor from scratch and how to generate visceral music and control live videos using the muscle sounds of their bodies. http://res.marcodonnarumma.com/projects/xth-sense http://marcodonnarumma.com/bio/ The XS amplifies the muscle sounds of the human body, and use them as control data and musical material. When a performer contracts any muscle low frequency sounds are produced. By capturing these sounds with the XS microphone sensor and live sampling them with a computer visceral music is generated in real time. It's like connecting a guitar to an effect pedal; but here is the body to be connected to an adaptive computational system. One has complete control over the sound shape by simply contracting muscles in different ways. No previous experience in electronics or programming is required, however participants should be familiar with digital music creation. At the end of the workshop, attendants will be able to keep the XS biosensors they built, and the related software for their own use. -- Marco Donnarumma Performer, body tinkerer, teacher and writer. #soundandmusic #biotech #freeculture EAVI - Goldsmiths, University of London ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Portfolio: http://marcodonnarumma.com Research: http://res.marcodonnarumma.com
