Hi,
advert break: The (leading) german computer magazine c't [1] has a
6-page Pd tutorial in its 17/07 issue (in stores Aug 6), written by
yours truly.
It's a basic introduction geared towards absolute beginners. But I've
managed to smuggle (at least) two small mistakes into the example
patches[2] that advanced users can search for. ;)

Enabling the Spirit of Play in Musical Instrument Building
Notice: hosted by Richard Waldinger
Date: Thursday August 02, 2007 at 16:00
Location: EJ291 (SRI E building) (Directions)
Abstract
More and more performers are using computer-based instruments for
live performance, using software that allows complex control and
interaction with sound and visual media in real time. All too
frequently, these performers tie themselves to the keyboard-mouse-
monitor interaction model, narrowly constraining the range of
possible gestures. A multitude of gestural input devices are readily
available, making it easy to utilize a broader range of gestures.
Human Interface Devices (HIDs) such as joysticks, tablets, and
gamepads are cheap and can be good musical controllers. Some even
provide haptic feedback. Now, the biggest hinderance for performers
wanting to create their own instruments is the usability of the
software. To enable the creation of computer-based instruments, we
are developing software that allows instruments to be built in the
same spirit of play that many people apply when learning a
traditional musical instrument.
This work is in collaboration with Cyrille Henry, Olaf Matthes, and
David Merrill.

3. Workshop III: Spaces of Negotiation
1. Workshop I (24/09 – 29/09/2007)
Kinship and other Monstrosities
Antigone as a myth, a failed hero, a theatrical figure and a cultural
political concept will be the starting cloth of this workshop which
is led by Kattrin Deufert and Thomas Plischke. Together with the
workshop participants, they will collect, cross-read and process
material that tackles the myth of Antigone, the problematics of
kinship, the politics of representing (or creating) monsters in our
society, the functionalities of terror in a capitalistic world, the
precarious relation between death, incest, family and suicide.
By Kattrin Deufert (D) & Thomas Plischke (D)
With Jeroen Peeters (B), Katharina Pewny (A/D) & Marcus Steinweg (D)

Modes of Listening – The Alienating Feedback of Sound
This workshop is going to carry out some theoretical as well as
practical research in the field of 21st century experimental music-
production and -reception. Artists like Francisco López, Philip Jeck
and the Staalplaat Soundsystem will provide an insight into their
current work and discuss their artistic positions.
By Tom Lamberty (D), Heike Schleper (D), Bernhard Schreiner (D/A)

3. Workshop III (07/10 – 12/10/2007)
Spaces of Negotiation
The relationship between architecture, everyday culture and place in
the context of a globalised life-world is starting point of this
workshop led by ifau (Institute of Applied Urbanism, Berlin) and the
architecture-theorist Jesko Frezer. Exploring the relationship of
aesthetic and use based on selected examples of architecture in Graz
is the starting point for a discussion of the social performance of
architecture.
By ifau and Jesko Fezer (D)
With Kerstin Höger (CH), Dorit Margreiter (A), muf architecture art
(GB), Riklef Rambow (D), Christian Schmid (CH)
