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)
Location: Fabra i Coats – Fà brica de Creació. Sant Adrià , 20. Barcelona.
Metro Sant Andreu.
Price: 160€ (limited places available, includes free entry to evening
concerts and lectures)

scene. During the residency participants can use the spatial and technical

spaces. Participants of the residency will be invited to give a public
presentation.
The residency project covers the use of the art space; upon request we can
help in finding accommodation, seeking and building professional relationships.

Deadline for applications: June 25, 2012. Expected decision: June 29.
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)

Hello,
next tuesday, 22th May 20:00, will be the next meeting of Pure Data
users in Berlin at NK (http://www.nkprojekt.de/) - Elsenstr. 52, 2HH 2Etage.

http://groups.google.com/group/pd_berlin, and make questions to the users
there.
Doors are open from 20h-20h15. After that they'll be closed, and you will
have to call someone from the Pd-meeting to get in. To get a telephone
number to call or confirm assistance you can write to
