MUME 2019 Concert - 2nd CALL FOR WORKS
by Kıvanç Tatar 07 Mar '19

07 Mar '19

=================== *MUME 2019 Concert - 2nd CALL FOR WORKS* =================== The 7th International Workshop on Musical Metacreation http://musicalmetacreation.org June 17-18, 2019, Charlotte, North Carolina === Important Dates === submission deadline: March 24, 2019 notification date: April 28, 2019 concert dates: June 17 evening, 2019 ====================== *Overview* Creators of musically metacreative systems are invited to submit works for a concert of musical metacreation, as part of the 10th International Conference on Computational Creativity, ICCC 2019, at the University of North Carolina Charlotte. Submitted works can be of any musical style, but must involve a performative element and must involve the use of computational creativity techniques in the creation of the work. Examples from previous MuMe concerts include, but are not limited to: reproduction of musical style using machine learning; the evolution of musical structures using interactive genetic algorithms; rule-based systems; systems based on emergence or self-organization; systems that perform music data mining to create remixes, and so on. *Types of Work* Any work related to MuMe that can be presented in a performance context will be considered. This includes: - Improvising agents that perform alongside live musicians. - Automated composition systems that generate music in real-time or pre-compose music for performers, as well as automated DJ systems. - Systems that use AI methods for other creative objectives, such as harmonizing, intelligent looping, or finding suitable matches for a target phrase. - Systems that generate lyrics. - Music that uses evolution, emergence or ecosystemic concepts. *Submission Process* Please submit a two page A4-portrait PDF describing your work before the submission deadline. Email your submission to chairs(a)musicalmetacreation.org. Submissions should *not* be *anonymized.* Your submission should: - Describe the work. - Explain how the work relates to the MuMe theme. - Give a relatively detailed technical description of the system*. - Give detailed performance requirements. As necessary, this may include a stage plan, equipment needs, technical support needs, and performing musicians (you can use additional PDF pages for any supporting items). - Provide a link to any additional documentary material such as audio or video recordings, or online software (highly recommended). - Give credits and biography (name, affiliation, short biography up to 150 words). * It is common to receive submissions that are highly ambiguous about what the proposed system actually does. Works will be rejected if this is the case. The description does not need to be highly technically detailed but it should remove any fundamental ambiguity. *Selection Process* All submissions will be reviewed by three independent members of the selection committee. Once these reviews have been completed the reviewers and the chairs will discuss these works and reviews. The chairs will provide a meta-review, the three original reviews, and a final decision. Reviewers will be anonymous to the authors, but not to each other. The final decision lies with the chairs, in consultation with the committee. *Upon Acceptance* Artists are required to be in attendance and set up their own equipment. At least one artist must register for the MuMe workshop. A schedule for performances, rehearsals and soundchecks will be made available in the week before the concert.

Pd~graz burn down: 20.03.2019
by IOhannes m zmoelnig 07 Mar '19

07 Mar '19

hi all. 15 years ago, some folks in graz (including yours truely) founded a non-profit organisation "Pd~graz", mainly to organize the 1st Pd~convention in 2004 (those were the days!) at the end of last year the austrian police wrote me a letter, asking whether our association is still alive. and indeed we found that we (as a club) hadn't had any real activity in the last 9 years or so, and therefore we decided to terminate the association for good. (no need to feel sorry. Pd~graz's raison d'être was to make Pd rule the world. this mission is practically accomplished). in any case, we are celebrating with a final concert. the concert will be in two weeks(20.3; right that's pretty soon), at the postgarage[1]. those of you who have been at the very 1st Pd~convention will remember it fondly. anybody who happens to be in the vicinity should of course come and party with us. if you are prepared to show your screen, there might even be an open mic session. gfmdsar IOhannes [1] http://postgarage.at/

Purr-Data Google Summer of Code opportunity
by Ivica Bukvic 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

Greetings fellow Pd enthusiasts, As some of you may be already aware, ast year the Purr-Data (a.k.a. Pd-L2Ork v2) was adapted to support native 64-bit operations. We are pleased to report that Purr-Data was once again selected this year as one of the GSoC projects. This means more opportunities to engage and help further the platform. Ideas for this year are plentiful, ranging from core infrastructure (C) development to patching and front-end development, including porting Pd-L2Ork's K12 learning module that has seen its utilization in dozens of Maker camps over the past 7 years. If interested, please contact Jonathan and/or me to explore potential projects and to discuss the next steps in the application process. Best, Ico -- Ivica Ico Bukvic, D.M.A. Director, Creativity + Innovation Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology Virginia Tech Creative Technologies in Music School of Performing Arts – 0141 Blacksburg, VA 24061 (540) 231-6139 ico(a)vt.edu www.icat.vt.edu www.performingarts.vt.edu l2ork.icat.vt.edu ico.bukvic.net

Musical Metacreation studies the design and use of these generative tools and theories for 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. MUME intends to bring together artists, practitioners, and researchers interested in developing systems that autonomously (or interactively) recognize, learn, represent, compose, generate, complete, accompany, or interpret music. As such, we welcome contributions to the theory or practice of generative music systems and their applications in new media, digital art, and entertainment at large. Topics =========================== We encourage paper and demo submissions on MUME-related topics, including the following: -- Models, Representation and Algorithms for MUME ---- Novel representations of musical information ---- Advances or applications of AI, machine learning, and statistical techniques for generative music ---- Advances of A-Life, evolutionary computing or agent and multi-agent based systems for generative music ---- Computational models of human musical creativity -- Systems and Applications of MUME ---- Systems for autonomous or interactive music composition ---- Systems for automatic generation of expressive musical interpretation ---- Systems for learning or modeling music style and structure ---- Systems for intelligently remixing or recombining musical material ---- Online musical systems (i.e. systems with a real-time element) ---- Adaptive and generative music in video games ---- Generative systems in sound synthesis, or automatic synthesizer design ---- Techniques and systems for supporting human musical creativity ---- 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, interactive art, etc. -- Evaluation of MUME ---- Methodologies for qualitative or quantitative evaluation of MUME systems ---- Studies reporting on the evaluation of MUME ---- Socio-economical Impact of MUME ---- Philosophical implication of MUME ---- Authorship and legal implications of MUME Submission Format and Requirements ================================= Please make submissions via the EasyChair system at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mume2019 The workshop is a day and a half event that includes: -Presentations of FULL TECHNICAL PAPERS (8 pages maximum) -Presentations of POSITION PAPERS and WORK-IN-PROGRESS PAPERS (5 pages maximum) -Presentations of DEMONSTRATIONS (3 pages maximum) which present outputs of systems (working live or offline). All papers should be submitted as complete works. Demo systems should be tested and working by the time of submission, rather than be speculative. We encourage audio and video material to accompany and illustrate the papers (especially for demos). We ask that authors arrange for their web hosting of audio and video files, and give URL links to all such files within the text of the submitted paper. Submissions do not have to be anonymized, as we use single-blind reviewing. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three program committee members. Workshop papers will be published as MUME 2019 Proceedings and will be archived with an ISBN number. Please use the updated MuMe paper template to format your paper. Also please feel free to edit the licence entry (at the bottom left of the first page of the new template). We created a new MUME 2019 template based on AAAI template.

Mission Completed: Cyclone 0.3 stable release is out!
by Alexandre Torres Porres 22 Feb '19

22 Feb '19

Howdy, please allow me to share a rather personal and detailed report to this dear list about this release: The Cyclone Library (a set of Pure Data objects cloned from Max/MSP) is finally upgraded to version 0.3! The main goal of Cyclone 0.3 was to update it to Max 7! Max 8 is out now and there are minor updates that could be included in cyclone, which may be ported in a possible future 0.4 release. Cyclone 0.3 also provide numerous fixes, several new objects and a newly written documentation! In the last release (cyclone 0.3 release candidate 1), we noted how we finished updating our last object to Max 7! The catch was that we still needed to update [comment], which won't be updated to Max 6+. Now it's been updated but not yet fully compliant to Max 5 - nonetheless it's "acceptable" and further work can be taken care in future 0.3.x releases. Anyhow, there were also other updates and fixes and the thing is, with what we have now, I just feel comfortable and happy to state: "*Mission Completed: Cyclone 0.3 stable release is out!*". This took 3 years. In fact, this release happens in the exact day of the 3rd anniversary of our repository. I was pretty clueless on how to code externals when we started and I still struggle a lot - even though I was able to learn a thing or two in the meantime :) -, this is to say that if it weren't for my colleagues Derek and Matt, nothing of this would be possible! I feel I have to praise and thank them (which I can't do enough) as I don't want to outshine them (since I'm the usual spokesman of the project). We made a great team! My limitations actually came in handy as I could just deal with what I could, which was the most tedious and manual labor that this project needed, like revising every object, looking for bugs, cleaning things up, dealing with the less complicated stuff while I learned how to code and etc. Then after a lot of attention, I could deliver a good briefing so they could help me fix the more hardcore stuff without all that hassle. After this long period, it's also noticeable to say we lost steam. I can only speak for myself and I'm now taking care of my own library (thanks to all I've learned dealing with cyclone, I must say). I don't know much and can't promise that cyclone will keep receiving the same attention from now on, but don't expect it to be abandoned ;) The project is obviously open for collaboration and any help is welcome. We actually had a very good and recent contribution from Diego Barrios Romero, who made it possible for anyone to compile cyclone now as a single library! Apparently he needed this to load cyclone with libpd more conveniently. Further cyclone releases may also bring the option of a single compiled binary. Instructions on how to compile cyclone as a single library and more about the project in genera can be found here: https://github.com/porres/pd-cyclone/blob/cyclone0.3/README.md Also check the changelog for a full list of changes: https://github.com/porres/pd-cyclone/blob/cyclone0.3/documentation/extra_fi… Cyclone is now available for the main architectures via Pd (Help => Find Externals) - it might take a while until it shows up in the system. You can also get it from here: https://github.com/porres/pd-cyclone/releases/tag/cyclone0.3 For last, I can't finish this message without thanking the Pd Community in general (specially Dan and IOhannes for being big players and great leaders) but mostly Miller Puckette, of course, without whom there's be no Max or Pd (and therefore no cyclone). We obviously need to also thank the original author of Cyclone, Krzysztof Czaja, who created this important library for Pd! Hans Christof Steiner needs to be honored for maintaining this library and keeping it in Pd Extended for a long time, and later Fred Jan Kraan was also very important to start fixing and updating this library after so long in the cyclone 0.2 releases. Cheers
