Dear Pure Data users,
We have just released Pure Data objects for our BlueSense range of products. BlueSense allows you to (wirelessly) connect sensor and actuator modules. Currently we have modules available for analog inputs (infrared distance sensors, force sensors,...), digital inputs (counters, rotary encoders), digital outputs (including PWM) and servo motor control.
In a few weeks additional modules will be available for analog output (digital pot meters), dc motor control and do-it-yourself module kits. Please have a look at our website:
http://www.bluemelon.org/index.php/Products/BlueSense
We are very interested in working together with artists, If you want to realize an interesting project entailing public exposure we can arrange sponsorship
greetings,

The 'Rencontres internationales' offer more than a simple presentation
of the works. They introduce an intercultural forum gathering various
guests from all over the world artists and directors recognized on the
international scene along with young artists and directors who still
cannot enjoy a substantial distribution, directors from organizations
and emerging structures testifying of the vivacity of creation and its
diffusion, but also of the artistic and cultural contexts that often are
in transition or sometimes experiencing deep changes. The festival
reflects specificities and crossings of contemporary art practices, and
work out this necessary time when points of view meet and are exchanged.

mit zahlreichen Gästen aus der ganzen Welt. International anerkannte
Künstler und Filmemacher neben jungen, aufstrebenden Kollegen, Leiter
bedeutender Kunsteinrichtungen neben Betreibern alternativer Strukturen
zeugen von der Lebendigkeit des Schaffens und seiner Verbreitung, von
der Situation der künstlerischen Praxis in den jeweiligen Ländern, von
denen sich manche in einer Übergangsphase befinden oder tiefgreifende
Veränderungen erleben. Die Rencontres internationales zeigen die
Besonderheiten und Konvergenzen der verschiedenen künstlerischen
Praktiken auf und schaffen den notwendigen Zeit-Raum, in dem Sichtweisen
aufeinandertreffen und ausgetauscht werden können.
I just finished a decently flushed out sketch of an intro tutorial
and I would love some feedback. Give it a shot:

There is still a lot of material to cover, but this covers the
foundations. Plus there should be more exercises.

The Programme contains several Pd related talks and concerts. These
are their abstracts so far:
Agostino Di Scipio
Using PD for Live Interactions in Sound. An Exploratory Approach ("Composer's Talk")
This presentation illustrates the principles and motivations behind
the composition of Modes of Interference, a work conceived as an
audio feedback system with trumpet and electronics. It focuses in
particular on the Pd signal-processing patch specifically designed
for that, basically implementing the nonlinear coupling between a
microphone input and two loudspeakers' output. The particular
coupling methods allow for control of feedback between the two ends
of the audio loop.
The Pd patch has two main functionalities. (1) It is designed to
deliberately cause, and dynamically handle, high-gain audio feedback
situations, thus providing useful musical control over the so-called
Larsen effect (that way, a typical problem in live electroacoustics
is turned into an opportunity for musical exploration). (2) It is
also designed to dynamically transform any input sound material by
means of simple methods of granular re-sampling, indirectly
affecting the feedback loop itself. The results widely vary
depending on several acoustical circumstances, and reflecting the
network of mutually dependent variables in the overall audio system
loop. The presentation briefly illustrates how that musical
potential is explored in Modes of Interference.
Frank Barknecht
128 Is Not Enough - Data Structures in Pure Data
A lesser known feature of Miller Puckette's popular audio and media
development framework Pure Data is the possibility to create user
defined graphical data structures. Although the data structures are
included in Pd for several years, only recently a sigificant number
of users discovered and used this feature. This paper will give an
introduction to the possibilities of Pd s data structures for
composers and musicians and present several example applications.
Eric Lyon
A Sample Accurate Triggering System for Pd and Max/MSP
A system of externals for Pd and Max/MSP is described that uses
click triggers for sample-accurate timing. These externals
interoperate and can also be used to control existing Pd and Max/MSP
externals that are not sample-accurate through conversion from
clicks to bangs.

Clothing was among the first cultural and technological achievements of the
human. Since its first intention as a second skin, communication
technologies and smart materials dramatically changed its use.
Clothing itself became an interface to the digital space which surrounds us.
The workshop will show how textiles and technology appear in artistic
practices and will introduce materials and techniques in use and in research.
In the workshop the participants will work and experiment on an expanded
idea of fashion and technology.
Especially participants who already attended the previous workshops will be
able to apply their ideas and skills on the very fabric of society.

The Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics at Stanford
University invites you to participate in the Physical Interaction Design
for Music summer workshop. Suitable for anyone interested in
interactivity, including artists, musicians, engineers and product
designers, this workshop focuses on tools and theory for using physical
interactions with computers in expressive ways, with a focus on sound.
For more information, and to register, go to:
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/workshops/2006/
------------------------------------------------------------------
Physical Interaction Design for Music
June 26 - July 7 (2 weeks, including July 4)
Instructors: Michael Gurevich, Carr Wilkerson
This workshop integrates programming, electronics, interaction design,
audio, and interactive music. Focus will be on hands-on applications
using sensors and microprocessors in conjunction with real-time DSP to
make music. Specific technologies will include C programming for Atmel
AVR microcontrollers, PD and/or Max/MSP for music synthesis, and sensors
including force-sensitive resistors, bend sensors, accelerometers, IR
range finders, etc. Participants will design and build working
prototypes using a kit that can be taken home at the end of the
workshop. Further issues to be explored will include modes and mappings
in computer music, exercises in invention, and applications of sensors
and electronics to real-time music. The course will be augmented by a
survey of existing controllers and pieces of interactive music.
This workshop is intended for:
* Musicians or composers interested in exploring new possibilities
in interactive music in a hands on and technical way;
* Anyone looking to gain valuable skills in basic analog and
digital electronics, with a focus on invention;
* Engineers, computer scientists, or product designers interested
in exploring artistic outlets for their talents an collaborating with
performers and composers.
The workshop will consist of half-day supervised lab sessions, and
half-day lectures, classroom exercises and discussions. Classroom
sessions will feature live demos and/or concerts of interactive music
and instruments. Participants are encouraged (but by no means required)
to bring their own laptop computers with any music software/hardware
they already use.
