*Call for collaborators
Open Up Workshop: projects for the digital façade of Medialab-Prado**
*
Deadline: *February 8, 2010 **
*Dates of the workshop: *February 9 through 23, 2010
*Venue: *Medialab-Prado* in Madrid (Spain)
Join us for the Open Up international workshop! This event is focused on
the development of 8 selected projects for the digital façade in
Medialab-Prado cultural center's building. The goals of the workshop are
to explore the relationship between the urban screen and public space,
to experiment with the screen’s communicative, narrative and visual
capacities, and to investigate its potential to offer new forms of
participation.
According to its field of interest, each collaborator can be part of any
team, bringing his/her knowledge and ideas to the workgroup and, at the
same time, learning from the group and the teachers: *Jordi Claramonte*,
*Chandler McWilliams*,* Casey Reas*, and *Víctor Viña*.* *Directed and
coordinated by Nerea Calvillo.* *
*
*For residents out of Madrid, Medialab-Prado will cover for the stay of
a limited number of participants at a Youth Hostel during the workshop.*
*
No entry fees.

2nd Int. Symposium on Ambisonics and Spherical Acoustics
Dates: 2010 May 6-7, Paris, France
ambi10 - Call for Participation
http://ambisonics10.ircam.fr
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to announce the 2nd International Symposium on
Ambisonics and Spherical Acoustics, which will be organized by IRCAM,
together with LIMSI-CNRS and France Telecom/Orange Labs. The Symposium
will be held to provide an intensive exchange between industrial and
academic researchers working in various research areas on spherical
acoustics.
The field of spatial sound reproduction is interdisciplinary by nature
and closely related to a number of computer science and engineering
areas such as acoustics, mathematics, signal processing, and
perception. The symposium focuses on discussing the various problems
and solutions concerning the capture, analysis, and re-synthesis of
sound fields applying spherical acoustics; for example higher-order
Ambisonics (HOA), and spherical microphone arrays.
The symposium is going to be divided into oral presentations (keynotes
and submissions), poster sessions, and two demonstration sessions
(artistic and technical). This symposium will benefit from a hemi-
spherical loudspeaker array that will be installed for the duration of
the symposium, which will be held in the Espace de projection, the
variable acoustics performance hall of Ircam.
Original contributions are encouraged in, but not limited to, the
following topics:
* General considerations on spherical acoustics theory
* Ambisonic for sound scene reproduction and virtual acoustic
environments
* Spherical microphone array systems and signal processing
* Capture and analysis of radiation patterns
* Spherical acoustic holography
* Synthesis of directional and focused sound sources
* Spherical loudspeaker array systems and signal processing
* Theoretical considerations on comparative subjective and objective
studies
* Standardization, exchange, implementation and hardware issues
Submission
==========
Submissions will be judged based on extended abstracts (1000 words).
Procedures to submit papers, posters, and demo sessions are detailed
at the symposium website http://ambisonics10.ircam.fr. Final papers
must be camera-ready conforming to the format specified on the
submission website.
Several excellent papers will be selected for collective submission to
Acta Acustica united with Acustica. These papers will be expanded
versions of the presented works, and will go through the standard peer
review process.
The official language of the symposium is English.

*What is PlayLab?*
PlayLab aims to explore the context of games and video games as a space
for creativity, experimentation, learning and reflection. Selected
projects aim to experiment with tangible interfaces, real objects as
elements of a virtual game, board games with augmented reality,
interactive sound spaces, viral games, etc.

Hi all,
I've uploaded a new sampled sound granulation patch to my website at:
http://www.VideoGameAudio.com/
under the 'patches' section:
http://www.sfu.ca/~leonardp/VideoGameAudio/main.htm#patches
It
granulates a loaded sample and allows the grains to be distributed in
5.1 surround. It should be fairly easy for you to use the surround or
granulation code in your own work. Let me know if it is useful to you
and perhaps give credit when appropriate.
I
presented it as part
of a demonstration at the GameSoundCon in San Francisco in November
2009 and had several people ask for the code, so here it is. If you're
interested in further updates related to using Pure Data with video
game audio, you can have a look at : http://twitter.com/VideoGameAudio .
Cheers,
Leonard J. Paul / VideoGameAudio.com
There will definitely be some Pd projects here:
> NIME: New Interfaces for Musical Expression.
> NIME: creating new performance tools for digital music.
> http://itp.nyu.edu/nime/show/
>
>
> In the eighth annual NIME concert, performers will play a series of
> newly designed electronic instruments that aim to keep the "live" in
> the live performance of digital music.
>
> Electronic music is usually played with a keyboard and mouse. Laptop
> musicians often sit at a desk and give performances that are little
> more than watching someone make "office gestures." The idea behind
> NIME is to go beyond the mouse and keyboard and beyond even piano
> keys and drum pads. It seeks to present performance systems that
> make the most out of the new opportunities for musical expression
> that digital technology offers.
>
> This year's NIME concert will feature such innovations as a
> musically enhanced sewing machine, sonified floor tiles,
> performative knitting needles, turntablism for live
> instrumentalists, electronically controlled cartoon antics, novel
> realizations of the rock guitar, and a host of other exciting
> approaches to the creation of music.
>
> NIME is an end-of-semester performance by 16 graduate student
> artists from the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) at NYU.

RjDJ News item - Friday, November 27th,
The New York reactive music experience
We finally managed to jump over the big pond and will land in New York with the
premier of our new child the RJC-1000 [1] on the 11th of December and an RjDj
workshop on the 12th of December. Both events will be kindly hosted by our
friends at Eyebeam [2]. So all you RjDj lovers in New York, it would be great
meeting you at the first Reactive Music Experience in New York.
The RJC-1000 is our top secret project that we were working on for the last
couple of months and which we will release soon. We will present the software
on the 11th and also play it live on the event. This is good news for everyone
interested in creating his own RjDj scenes. In the workshop on the 12th of
december we will also give deeper insights into how to use PD to create RjDj
scenes.
Check out the New York experience page for more details about the event:

http://puredata.info/exhibition
We now have the Pd Exhibition, a special exhibition section of main Pd
website, puredata.info. The puredata.info exhibition page is a place
to show works made with any of the many flavors of Pd. Though I am
currently the only contributor, it is designed to be open for all to
contribute to. The only hard rule about posting to the Pd Exhibition:
you can post about any project made with any flavor of Pd, you just
cannot post projects that you worked on or are affilliated with.
So start adding posts! Here's how:

thumbnail images)
