[top_panel.gif] [Dfuse_Woodstreet_1.jpg] FRI 10 JULY - SUN 6 SEPT ANOT [1]PATTERN & NOISE - WOOD STREET GALLERIES. PITTSBURGH. USA. FRI 10 JULY NOT [2]LATITUDE / TEKTON - PIERCE STUDIOS. PITTSBURGH. USA. TUES 23 JUNE ANOT [3]SMALL GLOBAL - ATMOSPHERE WELLCOME TRUST. LONDON. UK. [4]Pattern and Noise is [5]D-Fuse as first solo exhibition in the US. Across the two floors of [6]Wood Street Galleries they will explore the different themes central to their work: [7]Small Global, on the 3rd floor, focuses on data visualisation in relation to environmental issues and global interdependency, while [8]Tekton, on the 3rd floor, references their roots in audio-visual culture, exploring the spatio-temporal qualities of light and motion. [9]Small Global is an immersive interactive installation that combines data visualisations, graphics, animation, filmed footage and surround sound to address issues of global interdependence, consumption and environmental degradation. With two modules, Deforestation and [10]Coltan, produced at [11]Eyebeam [NYC] in 2005, the recent [12]Extreme Energy module takes a look at the increasingly desperate measures taken to extract more fossil fuels out of the earthas crust. Multiple transparent screens arranged in a cube are catching the light of projections on several layers, with the images echoing on walls, ceiling and floor of the space. Members of the audience can walk around and inside the cube, their bodies becoming part of the projection surfaces. Interaction sensors allow visitors to reveal visual information with their presence. [13]Tekton is an ongoing collaboration between [14]D-Fuse and [15]Labmeta exploring the materiality and temporality of light in motion. Multi-layered light emitting objects are organised into kinetic structures that are governed by algorithmic systems. As the mechanics of the devices are rendered invisible we witness trace elements. The fragile binaries of disorder and pattern, light and dark, harmony and disarray, human and machine become delicatly balanced as they are stabilised in motion and ghost like images hang in the air. Beginning as a series of audiovisual shorts with musicians including Hauschka, Lusine, and Swayzak, the project has generated a series of experimental shorts and an audiovisual performances. The exhibition in Wood Street however moves this concept forward into the art gallery space with the construction of a large scale kinetic machine, the virtual machines from early exploration have become a physical, kinetic sculpture. To celebrate the opening of the [16]Pattern and Noise exhibition, on July 10th there will be two live A/V live shows - [17]D-Fuse will present [18]Latitude and will be joined by [19]Labmeta for a performance of [20]Tekton - at Pierce Studios as part of the [21]Gallery Crawl, a free quarterly art showcase in the heart of Pittsburgh's Cultural District. [22]Latitude is a 2-screen performance, the outcome of a 3-month research period in China, based in 3 cities, Shanghai, Guangzhouand Chongqing. The piece is a survey of the city as unstable terrain, inspired by psychogeography it follows the emotive and sublime qualities of the spaces that surround us. Whilst Tekton the output from numerous experimental shorts derived from kinetic light machines and ties them together as an audiovisual piece. We hope to see you there!

2nd Annual Web Audio Conference - submissions now open
by Jason Freeman 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

The 2nd Web Audio Conference (WAC) will be held April 4-6, 2016 at Georgia Tech in Atlanta. WAC is an international conference dedicated to web audio technologies and applications. The conference welcomes web developers, music technologists, computer musicians, application designers, researchers, and people involved in web standards. The conference addresses research, development, design, and standards concerned with emerging audio-related web technologies such as Web Audio API, Web RTC, WebSockets and Javascript. It is open to industry engineers, R&D scientists, academic researchers, artists, and students. The first Web Audio Conference <http://wac.ircam.fr/> was held in January 2015 at IRCAM <http://ircam.fr/> and Mozilla <http://www.mozilla.org/> in Paris, France. The Internet has become much more than a simple storage and delivery network for audio files, as modern web browsers on desktop and mobile devices bring new user experiences and interaction opportunities. New and emerging web technologies and standards now allow applications to create and manipulate sound in real-time at near-native speeds, enabling the creation of a new generation of web-based applications that mimic the capabilities of desktop software while leveraging unique opportunities afforded by the web in areas such as social collaboration, user experience, cloud computing, and portability. The Web Audio Conference focuses on innovative work by artists, researchers, and engineers in industry and academia, highlighting new standards, tools, APIs, and practices as well as innovative web audio applications for musical performance, education, research, collaboration, and production. Contributions to the second edition of the Web Audio Conference are encouraged in the following areas: Web Audio API, Web MIDI, Web RTC, and other existing or emerging web standards for audio and music Development tools, practices, and strategies of web audio applications Innovative audio and music based web applications Client-side audio processing (real-time or non real-time) Audio data and metadata formats and network delivery Server-side audio processing and client access Client-side audio engine and audio rendering Frameworks for audio synthesis, processing, and transformation Web-based audio visualization and/or sonification Multimedia integration Web-based live coding environments for music Web standards and use of standards within audio based web projects Hardware and tangible interfaces in web applications Codecs and standards for remote audio transmission Any other innovative work related to web audio that does not fall into the above categories We welcome submissions in the following tracks: paper, poster, demo, performance, and artwork. All submissions will be single-blind peer reviewed. The conference proceedings, which will include both papers (for papers and posters) and abstracts (for demos, performances, and artworks), will be published online in SmartTech, Georgia Tech’s archival open-access repository. Papers: Submit a 4-6 page paper to be given as an oral presentation. Talks: Submit an abstract to be given as an oral presentation. Posters: Submit a 2-4 page paper to be presented at a poster session. Demos: Submit an abstract to be presented at a hands-on demo session. Demo submissions should include a title, a one-paragraph abstract and a complete list of technical requirements (including anything expected to be provided by the conference organizers). Performances: Submit a performance making creative use of web-based audio applications. Performances can include elements such as audience device participation, web-based interfaces, WebMIDI, WebSockets, and/or other imaginative approaches to web technology. Submissions must include a title, a one-paragraph abstract of the performance, a link to video documentation of the work, a complete list of technical requirements (including anything expected to be provided by conference organizers), and names and one-paragraph biographies of all musicians involved in the performance. Artworks: Submit a sonic web artwork or interactive application which makes significant use of web audio standards such as Web Audio API or WebMIDI in conjunction with other technologies such as HTML5 graphics, WebGL, and/or interactivity. Works must be suitable for presentation on a computer kiosk with headphones. They will be featured at the conference venue throughout the conference and on the conference web site. Submissions must include a title, one-paragraph abstract of the work, a link to access the work, and names and one-paragraph biographies of the author(s). Tutorials: If you are interested in running a tutorial session at the conference, please contact the organizers directly (webaudio at gatech dot edu). Important Dates October 1, 2015: submission deadline December 1, 2015: author notification March 1, 2016: camera-ready papers and abstracts due April 4-6, 2016: conference At least one author of each accepted submission must register for and attend the conference in order to present their work.

lolPd
by Chris McCormick 07 Jul '15

Hi! Undoing decades of hard work by Miller, "lol" is a tiny domain-specific language implemented in vanilla Pd, saving wrists everywhere by enabling less mousey patching. https://github.com/chr15m/lolPd lol enables the quick creation of vertical-pipeline patches for accomplishing the types of tasks that are easy in functional languages and languages like Python with e.g. list-comprehensions. For example, here is a lol one-liner that will output 16 random floats between 0 and 1 - enter the following into an empty object box: [lol range 16; bng; random 100; / 100;] Hook that up to print statement and bang the input. Here's another contrived example for generating 10 integers counting upward, starting at whatever number is passed in: [23( | [lol tee value; range 10; concat value; expr $f1 + $f2;] Note that you can use native Pd objects such as [expr] as above wherever they are compatible, which turns out to be quite often as Pd will generally unpack lists sent to the left input for you. Here is an example that will output 16 midi controller values the moment it is created, and you can also pass in a number to generate a different number of values on request (e.g. 32 here): [32( | [lol tee count; loadbng; concat count; default 16; range; bng; random 128;] I made this because in recent times I have been doing a lot of algorithmic sequencing and it is laborious to make patches that generate sequences of numbers with a mouse. Please feel free to contribute any "pipeline" objects to the project that make your life easier! Have fun! Cheers, Chris. -- http://mccormick.cx/
