ANN: competitive research assistantships available at Virginia Tech
by Ivica Ico Bukvic 26 Sep '18

26 Sep '18

Please pardon x-posting: Virginia Tech is seeking graduate student candidates for a competitive Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology (ICAT) graduate research assistantship starting with the academic year 2019-20. We are specifically looking for students who are interested in studying in the newfound Human-Centered Design (HCD) transdisciplinary individualized PhD and/or Computer Science's Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). We are also willing to consider Masters level applicants to the CS program with focus on HCI. Additional assistantships may be available through the HCD program. HCD Option Virginia Tech's new individualized Human-Centered Design (HCD) iPhD transdisciplinary degree is closely aligned with the Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology (ICAT). iPhD is a degree designed primarily to support individually tailored PhD experiences, allowing students to actively participate in shaping their plan of study. CS HCI Option The graduate program in the Department of Computer Science at Virginia Tech is on its way to becoming one of the top programs in the country. The resources and facilities for research areas such as human-computer interaction, bioinformatics, and high-end computing are state of the art, and the growing list of specialized masters and doctoral degrees in a variety of areas provides opportunities for students to concentrate their research and study on the specific aspects of computer science in which they are most interested. At Virginia Tech, students receive firsthand instruction by award-winning faculty. In the computer science department, that means that graduate students have the opportunity to learn from the professors who have helped to define today's computer industry. The Center for Human-Computer Interaction is a part of ICAT, offering a diverse infrastructure and human expertise for cutting-edge research. The GAship in question seeks candidates with a solid research background and aspirations with strong communication skills (verbal and written) and a sense of independence and self-sufficiency. We are particularly seeking students interested in sonification, sound spatialization, and interactive technologies, including (but not limited to) NIMEs, mind-body technologies, laptop/mobile ensembles, mobile/wearable/physical computing, etc. Knowledge of Max and Pd/Pd-L2Ork programming environments, C/C++, Java, or equivalent is strongly preferred, as well as skills in other domains (e.g. interactive multimedia, K-12 education, 3D animation, etc.). This is a renewable assistantship with a full tuition waiver and a stipend. To be eligible candidates need to apply, be accepted, and enroll in the new HCD iPhD or the Human-Computer Interaction Computer Science program with primary focus in the computer music domain focusing on one or more of the aforesaid areas of interest. The successful candidate will be given an opportunity to participate in conducting research using the cutting edge 148+ loudspeaker system and consequently its innovative spatialization, sonification, and immersion approaches in the new $100M Moss Arts Center and more specifically Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology's three-story Cube space and its smaller counterpart, the immersive Perform Studio, as well as the new DISIS facilities, a part of a $600,000 renovation that opened in January 2015. They will also work closely with ICAT faculty and students on a number of collaborative projects.

Live Electronis Tutorial by Porres in English (& ELSE beta 12 released)
by Alexandre Torres Porres 13 Sep '18

13 Sep '18

Hi, two related announcements! I've Finished translating the vol. 2 of my Live Electronics Tutorial to English, with now 323 examples! https://github.com/porres/Live-Electronics-Tutorial - It already relies on the (still in test phase) 0.49-0 release of Pure Data (though 99% will work in 48). Anyway, vol. 2 is where things gets a little serious... there's FFT stuff and I really like my take on filters (folder "29"). I hope this becomes a relevant tutorial for Pd. Let me know what you think. Next plan is to write a book where these are the examples. This is a very special announcement for me as I've been working on this for 10 years now and I'm happy to make it available in english. Not only that, but to finally port it out of Pd Extended and into Vanilla! Porting to Vanilla relies heavily and extensively in the ELSE library, and this is where most of my work has been put recently, in order to port this out of Extended. This brings us to the next announcement: I have a new release that it relies on, Beta 12! Find it on deken (pd => Help => Find Externals). See https://github.com/porres/pd-else/releases/tag/v1.0-beta12 for details. Newer additions to the tutorial now depend on developments of ELSE. The last release was a couple of weeks ago but I'm really proud of the advancements I made. I'd like to highlight the additions to [envgen~], you really should check it out, it's a very powerful and versatile envelope generator. I still wanna allow for exponential curves, maybe next time. This release of ELSE also already relies on Pd 0.49, but works for the most part with 0.48. cheers

Reminder: Call for Participation - ALMAT Workshop @ Impuls, Academy 2019
by IOhannes m zmoelnig 11 Sep '18

11 Sep '18

ALMAT - "Algorithms That Matter" Workshop at the impuls 11th International Ensemble and Composers Academy for Contemporary Music 2019 Special workshop for computer music practitioners, sound artists and composers Call for Participation Deadline: October 1st, 2018 with Robin Minard, David Pirrò, Hanns Holger Rutz http://www.impuls.cc/academy-2019/special-programs.html#c5169 [please distribute] Algorithms that Matter (ALMAT) focuses on the experimentation with algorithms and their embedding in sound works. Rather than conceiving algorithms as established building blocks or the a priori formalisation of a compositional idea, we look at them as performing entities whose consequences are irreducible to models. Algorithms “matter” in the sense that matter and meaning cannot be distinguished, neither can artists and their computational tools. Algorithms actively produce spaces and temporalities which become entangled with their physical embeddings. The 2019 edition of the workshop focuses on the development of a site-specific sound installation. The installation will explore the interactions of algorithmic and physical spaces and their dynamic and mutable properties. Participants will work on the premise that spaces and our perception of them change depending on presence, absence, the movement of visitors, the time of the day, the rhythm of the surroundings as well as the sonic and algorithmic interventions we bring into them. This workshop seeks to attract computer music practitioners, sound artists and composers by offering a platform for exchange and reflection about their personal approaches towards algorithmic experimentation. The participants are invited to develop their various approaches within an atmosphere of collaboration, where special emphasis will be given to the translation of environmental data (such as sensor input from the surroundings and visitors) through computer music systems developed and assembled by the participants and tutors. One question we want to pursue is how behaviours can be composed that transition from "technical and artificial" to "organic and alive", particularly through the articulation of spatiality. The workshop starts with an internal presentation of the participants for the other participants and tutors. An initial sound situation using a large number of small reconfigurable speakers forms the starting point for in-situ work. This structure will then be available for decomposition and rearrangement by the participants. The space will become a public exhibition halfway through the workshop, making it possible to observe and adapt to the interactions with the audience, a central question in the making of sound installations. The workshop will be held with technical infrastructure provided by the Institute for Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM), including an 48-channel sound system and a selection of sensors. The workshop ALMAT was developed by David Pirrò and Hanns Holger Rutz (both IEM Graz) and will be held together with the special support by Robin Minard. How to apply: 1.) First, you must register and be accepted as a participant of the impuls Academy 2019. 2.) Along with your application, you must submit a statement concerning your specific interest in participating in the ALMAT Workshop or send this by e-mail to office(at)impuls(dot)cc. 3.) In addition, please send a description of your personal work in relation to the workshop's theme stating your previous experiences and describing employed computational approaches, their aesthetic
