~~ Workshop
20th July
H.14.30/20.30
SESI-SP, Av. Paulista, Sao Paulo
- Xth Sense. Build your own biophysical open hardware, reclaim your body
and let it sound.
The *Xth Sense (XS)* is a biophysical musical instrument. With the sound of
your muscles you can produce music, and control any software applications.
The XS is free and open source, and it was named the “world’s most
innovative new musical instrument” by the Georgia Tech Center for Music
Technology (US, 2012).
You can build your own with £10, hack it or modify it. No need of APIs and
such. Just make it.
http://res.marcodonnarumma.com/xth-sense/
hope some of you can make it there tonight.
best wishes,

Thanks to continued progress in artistic and scientific research, a
new possibility is emerging in our musical relationship with
technology: Generative Music or Musical Metacreation, the design and
use of computer music systems which are "creative on their own".
Metacreation involves using tools and techniques from artificial
intelligence, artificial life, and machine learning, themselves often
inspired by cognitive and life sciences. The workshop will bring
together artists, practitioners and researchers interested in
developing software and systems that autonomously (or interactively)
recognize, learn, represent, complete, accompany, compose or interpret
music.

Hi all,
Pd version 0.43-3 is available on http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.htm
or via git from sourceforge:
git clone git://pure-data.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/pure-data/pure-data
Main change from 0.43-2 is that MIDI input is improved on Mac and Windows.
Also, I added a stub to future-proof Pd against a possible extension of the
file format so that in the future there could be a way to set widths of
boxes and stuff like that (and 0.43-3 would read those files and only complain
once instead of complaining for pages.)
I'm ready to start hacking on 0.44. The most urgent thing seems to be for
me to go back and work on the audio system (and perhaps tweak MIDI a bit
more too).
The thing I'm actually looking forward to doing is to extend textfiles and
message boxes and data structures to be able to spit lists of atoms around
much more flexibly than now.
Also pd vanilla needs tilde objects to do interpolating signal snapshots,
phase-syncable oscillators, and other stuff on that level, also likely
to be a lot of fun.
cheers

Hi everyone,
we gonna start the new apodio gnu/linux distro next week and of course
PD is an absolute requirement!
Therefore I would ask here what is the best version of PD-extended
0.43 at the moment to be included in it. Knowing that it will be a
stable version to stay for a couple of years ;-) so is a stable
PD-extended 0.43 version available or when it will be available?
Only the beta-version is available right now :

Hi list,
I'm happy to present my first external named [m2f_vst].
It calculates midi note to frequency (Hz), just like [mtof], but with a
variable semitone to whole tone ratio. That means it makes it possible to
play in temperaments 31 (ratio 3:5) and 19 (ratio: 2:3) equal division, as
well as 12 (1:2), 5 (0:1), 7 (1:1) and everything in between.
To be able to use it as intended it's, except for ratio "0.5" that makes it
work similar to [mtof], necessary to set a modulation index, where 0 is
default (C-C#-D-Eb-E-F-F#-G-G#-A-Bb-B). Changing the value for "mod"
replaces one note for another (for example G# for Ab) for every "+1" or
"-1" in the circle of fifths up by increasing and down by decreasing.
Documentation is provided in the manual/ folder. An example patch that
plays a part of J.S. Bach's prelude of the 5th English Suite is provided in
the examples/ folder.
You can find it here:

Interactive Digital Entertainment (AIIDE'12).
Thanks to continued progress in artistic and scientific research, a
new possibility is emerging in our musical relationship with
technology: Generative Music or Musical Metacreation, the design and
use of computer music systems which are "creative on their own".
Metacreation involves using tools and techniques from artificial
intelligence, artificial life, and machine learning, themselves often
inspired by cognitive and life sciences. Musical Metacreation suggests
exciting new opportunities to enter creative music making: discovery
and exploration of novel musical styles and content, collaboration
between human performers and creative software "partners", and design
of systems in gaming and entertainment that dynamically generate or
modify music.
The workshop will bring together artists, practitioners and
researchers interested in developing software and systems that
autonomously (or interactively) recognize, learn, represent, complete,
accompany, compose or interpret music. In particular, emphasis will be
put on systems with real-time aspects, since these are relevant to
both art and entertainment communities.
Topics
======
We encourage paper and demo submissions on topics including the
following:
* Novel representations of musical information
* Systems for autonomous or interactive music composition
* Systems for automatic generation of expressive musical
interpretation
* Systems for learning or modelling music style and structure
* Systems for intelligently remixing or recombining musical material
* Advances or applications of AI, machine learning, and
statistical techniques for musical purposes
* Advances or applications of evolutionary computing or agent and
multiagent-based systems for musical purposes
* Computational models of human musical creativity
* Techniques and systems for supporting human musical creativity
* Online musical systems (i.e. systems with a real-time element)
* Adaptive music in video games
* Methodologies for, and studies reporting on, evaluation of
musical metacreations
* Emerging musical styles and approaches to music production and
performance involving the use of AI systems
* Applications of Musical Metacreation for digital entertainment:
sound design, soundtracks, video games, etc.
Format and Submissions
======================
The workshop will be a one day event including:
* Presentations of TECHNICAL PAPERS
* Presentations of POSITION PAPERS relevant to Musical
Metacreation and its future
* Presentations of DEMONSTRATIONS
* One or more PANEL SESSIONS (potential topics include

or via git from sourceforge:
git clone git://pure-data.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/pure-data/pure-data
There are small bug fixes (tabread4~ from very small tables; UTF-8 string
overflow fix; array deletion while used in DSP).
Also tried to fix the problems with MIDI input (actually USB "virtual MIDI"
inputs) overflowing queues.
Also adapted a GUI optimization by Hans-Cristophe that might make large
graphical tables work somewhat better.

REALTIME SOUND SPATIALIZATION WITH WAVE FIELD SYNTHESIS
(led by Arthur Sauer and Wouter Snoei)
This 3-day seminar will deal with both musical and technical issues
surrounding spatial composition, focusing in particular on working with
wave field synthesis systems. The seminar will be taught by Arthur Sauer
and Wouter Snoei, two of the core members of the The Game Of Life
Foundation‘s team. The foundation's unique mobile wave field synthesis
system (composed of 192 speakers and 12 subwoofers) will be available
on-site for participants to experiment and gain hands-on familiarity
with space as a compositional parameter.
Wave field synthesis is a technique for sound spatialization. It
produces “artificial” wave fronts synthesized by a large number of
individually driven speakers. Such wave fronts seem to originate from a
virtual starting point. Contrary to traditional spatialization
techniques such as stereo, the localization of virtual sources in WFS
does not depend on or change with the listenerÂ’s position. As opposed to
most multichannel systems, WFS has no sweet spot and allows for a wider
optimal listening area.
Language: English
Level: Aimed at musicians, composers, sound and media artists, music
software developers. Participants will be organized into two groups
according to their background and experience. The first group will work
with a graphical GUI interface and requires just basic sound editing
knowledge. The second group will use the SuperCollider interface to the
wave field synthesis system and therefore requires previous familiarity
with this environment.
Tutors: Arthur Sauer and Wouter Snoei.
Dates:
Monday 18.06.2012, 10:00-18:00 (with lunch break)
Tuesday 19.06.2012, 10:00-18:00 (with lunch break)
Wednesday 20.06.2012, 10:00-18:00 (with lunch break)

Further information about the previous year's Guest Space programmes in LABOR:
http://labor.c3.hu/en/?s=vendegter
LABOR was founded in 2007 as a joint initiative of C3 Centre for Culture &
Communication Foundation, the Studio of Young Artists Association (FKSE) and
the Hungarian University of Fine Arts (MKE) in the premises of the former
Studio Gallery.
LABOR is a platform where the objectives of partner institutions appear jointly:
• support of emerging artists
• projects related to the contemporary art education
• experimental
initiatives advancing or reflecting on the structural changes of the
contemporary art world
• cooperation between art and the scientific
and technical domains
• events organized in the framework of international collaborations.
The purpose of the collaboration is to create a flexible, shared (art) space
that provides a platform for art research as well as exhibitions, projects and
occasional events.
LABOR aims to emphasize the social responsibility of contemporary art and its
role in knowledge production. It organizes discursive programs to strengthen
the debate- and discussion-culture of the local art world involving other
fields of culture. LABOR recently opened Book Space, a reading room and
library where current theoretical texts, magazines, and publications on visual
culture are available.

Take part in a hands-on building session and rehearsal of pieces for the
Dirty Electronics Racket! The Racket! is a DIY kit that introduces a
number of key building blocks of analogue synthesiser design and Dirty
Electronics aesthetics. It features an oscillator, wave shaping, noise
generation, filtering, feedback and touch control. It is designed to be
made on stripboard using wire connections as well as having a small
copper etched artwork printed circuit board as a touch control. The
Dirty Electronics Racket! epitomises a DIY spirit. Small thrifty synth,
massive sound! Requires 9v battery and external amplification. No prior
knowledge of electronics is needed.
The workshop concludes with a performance by Dirty Electronics and
pieces for the Racket! For example, Hug is a piece for the Racket! and
portable amps (Dirty Cardboard Box Amp) that are worn by performers. A
cacophony of noise is created. Other performers stop/mute the racket
by hugging their noisy friends.
Since 2003, John Richards has been exploring the idea of Dirty
Electronics that focuses on face-to-face shared experiences, ritual,
gesture, touch and social interaction. In Dirty Electronics, process and
performance are inseparably bound. The performance begins on the
workbench devising instruments and is extended onto the stage through
playing and exploring these instruments.
Level: Introductory. Anyone can join!
Date: Wednesday 13.06.2012, 16:00-22.00h.
Location: Fabra i Coats Fàbrica de Creació. Sant Adrià, 20. Barcelona.
Metro Sant Andreu.
Price: 50 (includes workshop participation and instrument to take home)
