How to develop interactive applications for electronic arts and music, running on desktop computers or on portable devices, using the Pure Data graphical programming environment. Topics include sensing inputs, decision making, transforming microphone and camera inputs, generating sound and images, and audio spatialization.

To Pd-announce:
Pd version 0.46-6 is available on http://msp.ucsd.edu/software.htm
or via git from sourceforge:
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/pure-data/pure-data
This fixes two bugs specifying and saving MIDI ouput devices, and, since
I was already working on it for 0.47, there's a new bob~ object, which
emulates the Moog voltage-controlled filter.
cheers

The bachelor degree course Musikdesign is now open for applications!
About the course
Musikdesign is a course of studies by the Trossingen University of Music in cooperation with the Furtwangen University (Faculty for Digital Media). After eight semesters, graduates receive the degree ‘Bachelor of Music’. Centerpiece of the programme comprises a solid education in aural theory, composition and orchestration/arrangement. Consequently, the artistic focus may be considered as being on musical composition. Further contents are audio and video technology, market knowledge, media and project management.
About the subject
Musikdesign considers working with sound as part of an overall performance, being experienced by the observer both in a multi-sensory and multimedia-based way. In the process of conceptualising and realising this performance, music designers work together with other artists as well as experts for marketing and product acoustics in various sectors such as brand communication, product development, architecture, multimedia installation, motion picture, interactive application and mobile content. Music designers create sound using the elements (composed) music, speech, noise and are able to analyze as well as evaluate their product aesthetically and psychoacoustically.
Target audience
The Musikdesign course is for creative minds with sound in their blood, craving to be different from mere interpreters: be it graduates, career changers, music whizzs, composers, sound designers, DJs, sound artists, media designers or scenographers. Music designers are working in a broad field ranging from composition, media production, project management, conception, audio supervision and sound design in production environments (audio, video, computer applications and games, advertising), agencies (advertising, web design, event-planning), radio and TV stations as well as music schools.
Application deadline for fall 2015 admission is April 15. Applicants are asked to send in their portfolio together with two given assignments. More information can be found at www.musikdesign.net <http://www.musikdesign.net/>. Informal enquiries are encouraged and should be adressed to info(a)musikdesign.net.
