Terre Natale @ The Cartier Foundation
Paris, France
Opening November 21st

Stop Eject
"Depardon's travel journal–a long-distance imaginary dialogue with
Paul Virilio–brings us to the second part of the exhibition Native
Land, curated by Virilio, and designed by American artists and
architects, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, in collaboration with Mark
Hansen, Laura Kurgan, and Ben Rubin."
I worked with the Diller Scofidio + Renfro team making the 360
degree, 3m high video that is part of this opening. I created all
the sounds for the movies using Pd, Audacity, and Freesound for the
samples. The videos were all generated using Processing. The whole
system is run by the ZKM PanoramaScreen running on Ubuntu. The
videos are 6800x760 @ 30FPS and the audio is 6 channels plus 2
channels of subwoofers.
So all in all, this project is a showcase for free tools, even though
none of the 'higher ups' had any idea or intention for it to be
that. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make the opening, so go see
it and tell me how it is! Hopefully it'll come to NYC so I can see
it in person.

We are reviving the New York City Patching Circle!
http://puredata.info/community/NYCPatchingCircle
We spend enough time alone staring at our computers; we are proposing
to work together. So often issues that arise when working can be
solved with a quick two minute discussion that would take hours to
solve alone. We have Dorkbot to see people's work, we have Share
where anyone can play, we have workshops and universities to learn
from. This is a meeting where we all can come to work.
This is an informal gathering of patching and patchers (Pd, Max/MSP/
Jitter, and even vvvv, EyesWeb, etc.). Beginners and Experienced
welcome. Open to everyone, students, the public, etc. Work on school
projects, personal projects, ask for help, help others, or just patch
quietly to yourself, in a room full of other people patching patches
and helping other people patch.
Time: Saturday, November 22nd, noon-6pm
Place: This meeting will take place in the Eyebeam Education Lab:
540 W. 21st Street, (between 10th and 11th Avenues)
New York, NY 10011
Tel. 212.937.6580
(Previous meetings were held at Brooklyn Polytechnic, now we are
roving.)

Dear Pd community,
RjDj is looking for a Pd patcher from Canada for a scene production with
G. Geiger and D. Taylor in Vancouver next week.
As some of you may have already noticed, RjDj on the iPhone is getting along
quite successful. Two weeks after RjDj launched in October, the application was
downloaded ~10.000 times, and the count is still growing. The reactive music
pieces for RjDj (we call them "Scenes") are written in Pd (vanilla), so now
there are 10.000 more people who have a variant of Pd installed and can listen
to Pd patches.
The main goal of RjDj is to give these people new food for their ears! To
reach this goal, RjDj tries to connect people from the Pd world with musicians
and producers in the "traditional" music area by doing sprints and also by
organizing studio sessions where Pd experts work with musicians on the
production of RjDj scenes to be released on the Iphone.
One such session will happen on
Nov 17-23 in Vancouver/CA
For this session we are looking for one additional Pd patcher!
If you want to take part, you will be working together with Guenter Geiger of
RjDj on the Pd side and music producer Damian Taylor (www.damiantaylor.com).
RjDj will financially support this gettogether and take care of hosting you, but
as we don't have endless money to burn, we're looking for people who can fly in
from a place that is not too far away from Vancouver, e.g. people from Canada,
Montreal, or so.
If all this sounds like it would be something for you, please contact us
offlist as soon as possible through: info(a)rjdj.me to discuss further details.
Keep on patching!

Hi,
I've just made available a 'one off' edition of Pd-extended with the
following additions:
aubio - onset/pitch detection
xtract~ - feature extraction
dssi~ - Multi-instance DSSI and LADSPA plugin host
ann_mlp - Multi-layer perceptron (neural network)
knn - k's nearest neighbour classifier
csoundapi~ - Csound bindings (requires Csound 5 installed)
hexter plugin - DX7 emulation plugin
These are some of the tools I use in my own research, and I thought it
might be worthwhile to make them available for others to use.
Download from:
http://puredata.info/Members/jb/Pd-extended-postlude/view
It's OS X only, built on Pd-extended 0.40.3 and tested on 10.4 and 10.5
Intel.
This is likely to be a one-off because I'm going to work on getting this
stuff into Pd-extended proper...
Enjoy!
Jamie

Subject: [LAU] LAC 2009
La Casa della Musica invites all Linux Audio developers,
users, composers, musicians, philosophers and anyone
interested to
The Linux Audio Conference 2009
16-19 April 2009
La Casa della Musica
Palazzo Cusani
Parma, Italy
The LAC will go outside Germany for the first time, but
we will keep close to the familiar four-day format with
paper presentations, workshops, electro-acoustic music
concerts, and the Linux Sound Night.
The website is being created, and 'calls for everything'
will be issued before the end of this week.
The conference starts a few weeks later than the previous
one, which allows the deadlines for everything to be moved
as well. For the papers and music calls this will be
somewhere mid January, so you can use the end-of-year
holiday period to get creative.
We hope to see you all in Parma !

Francesca Montresor, CdM

it simple to use on many types of hardware. It contains FLOSS programs
for recording and manipulating sound, making live visuals and creating
interactive media in installation, and more.
This event is part of the pure:dyne for everyone project, a national
series designed to make pure:dyne more accessible through special events
with partnering media arts centres across the country.

Hey,
I just uploaded a test build of PDa for OpenMoko Freerunner GTA02. I
haven't had a chance to test it yet, so give it a shot and post back
about your experiences with it.

group_id=236704&package_id=287575
There are also Tcl/Tk packages in case OpenMoko doesn't provide any:
