else 1.0 beta 21 / live electronics tutorial released
by Alexandre Torres Porres 19 Jun '19

19 Jun '19

An update to the ELSE library is out, mostly with updates in current objects and just a few new objects. Three managing lists: [reverse], [rotate], [iterate] and a new drum sequencer objects ([drum.seq]). Please note that [else/drum.seq] and [else/mtx.ctl] have issues in Pd 0.49 (and only in 0.49), but this is already fixed for the next 0.50 release. See https://github.com/porres/pd-else/releases/tag/v1.0-beta21 for a complete changelog on what's new in ELSE 1.0 beta 21 and wait a but for all binaries to be available in the repository and via deken (only missing so far are raspberry pi binaries). The Live Electronics Tutorial that relies in the ELSE library was also updated - see: https://github.com/porres/Live-Electronic-Music-Tutorial/releases/tag/v1.0-… cheers

Vector Synthesis: a Media Archaeological Investigation into Sound-Modulated Light
by Derek Holzer 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Dear Pure Data community, I am currently running a publication fundraiser on Kickstarter for my book VECTOR SYNTHESIS: a Media Archaeological Investigation into Sound-Modulated Light. The book describes my research into the military and techno-scientific legacies at the birth of modern computing, and how early computer, electronic media, and video artists of the 1950’s, 60’s, and 70’s attempted to decouple these tools from their destructive origins. It also presents my Pure Data software library and live performance project which employs audio synthesis and vector graphics techniques to investigate direct relationships between sound and image using analog CRT displays. The conclusion of the book reflects on how the project and the research surrounding it has contributed to the larger experimental audiovisual arts community through events such as the Vector Hack Festival. Artists discussed include Mary Ellen Bute, Ben Laposky, Len Lye, Norman McLaren, Desmond Paul Henry, James Whitney, John Whitney Sr., Dan Sandin, Steina Vasulka, Woody Vasulka, Larry Cuba, Bill Etra, Mitchell Waite, Rosa Menkman, Cracked Ray Tube, Andrew Duff, Benton C. Bainbridge, Philip Baljeu, Jonas Bers, Robin Fox, Robert Henke, Ivan Marušić Klif, Jerobeam Fenderson, Hansi Raber, Ted Davis, Roland Lioni, Bernhard Rasinger, and the Kikimore group. The book is 122 pages long, has 21 illustrations, links to several video examples online, and was fabulously designed by Claire Matthews. I’ve launched this Kickstarter to print and distribute the book to people who have expressed interest, to get them to people who have assisted in its creation, and just as importantly to send them to organizations and schools who deserve one. Your support of this publishing project will help make that possible. Details can be found here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/macumbista/vector-synthesis-book Thank you for your kind attention!

Web Audio Conference 2019 - 3rd Call for Submissions & Pre-submission Draft Feedback
by Andreas Bergsland 11 Jun '19

11 Jun '19

*Apologies for cross-postings* # Fifth Annual Web Audio Conference - 3rd Call for Submissions https://www.ntnu.edu/wac2019 The fifth Web Audio Conference (WAC) will be held 4-6 December, 2019 at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway. WAC is an international conference dedicated to web audio technologies and applications. The conference addresses academic research, artistic research, development, design, evaluation and standards concerned with emerging audio-related web technologies such as Web Audio API, Web RTC, WebSockets and Javascript. The conference welcomes web developers, music technologists, computer musicians, application designers, industry engineers, R&D scientists, academic researchers, artists, students and people interested in the fields of web development, music technology, computer music, audio applications and web standards. The previous Web Audio Conferences were held in 2015 at IRCAM and Mozilla in Paris, in 2016 at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, in 2017 at the Centre for Digital Music, Queen Mary University of London in London, and in 2018 at TU Berlin in Berlin. 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, students, 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, with an emphasis on bringing more diversity into audio. ## Pre-submission Draft Feedback Given that this year's conference theme is Diversity in Web Audio, we would like to welcome everyone to submit. We have launched a pre-submission draft feedback process to make people feel more confident, supported and welcome regarding submitting. This call is addressed to those individuals who are independent from academic institutions (deadline: June 9, 2019). More info available at: https://www.ntnu.edu/wac2019/pre-submission-draft-feedback ## Theme and Topics The theme for the fifth edition of the Web Audio Conference is Diversity in Web Audio. We particularly encourage submissions focusing on inclusive computing, cultural computing, postcolonial computing, and collaborative and participatory interfaces across the web in the context of generation, production, distribution, consumption and delivery of audio material that especially promote diversity and inclusion.
