The fourth edition of Ircam's Musical Research Residency program is now open for online submissions for the 2013-2014 school calendar. Ircam (Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics and Music) offers experimental environments where composers/artists strive to expand their artistic experience at one end, and scientists aim at extending research and technological paradigms for new artistic expressions. Such interactive process is called Musical Research.
For its fourth edition, Ircam and the INEDIT Project partners are inviting composers and artists to submit projects for the 2013-2014 Musical Research Residency program. The program is open to international artists, regardless of age or nationality, who wish to carry experimental research using Ircam's and partners’ facilities and extensive research environment. Submission is online only and an international panel of experts including researchers, composers, computer musicians and artists will evaluate each project. Upon nomination, each candidate will be granted a residency at Ircam during a specific period (three or six months) and in association with a team/project at Ircam. In addition, laureates receive an equivalent of 1200 Euros per month to cover expenses in France.

((( MUME 2012 )))
1st International Workshop on Musical Metacreation
http://www.metacreation.net/mume2012/
Held at the Eighth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and

Having received several requests, we have extended the deadline for
Paper and Demo Submissions:
New Deadline *** JULY 15, 2012 ***
-----------------------------
Thanks to continued progress in artistic and scientific research, a
new possibility is emerging in our musical relationship with
technology: Generative Music or Musical Metacreation, the design and
use of computer music systems which are "creative on their own".
Metacreation involves using tools and techniques from artificial
intelligence, artificial life, and machine learning, themselves often
inspired by cognitive and life sciences. The workshop will bring
together artists, practitioners and researchers interested in
developing software and systems that autonomously (or interactively)
recognize, learn, represent, complete, accompany, compose or interpret
music.

Hi all,
Pd version 0.43-3 is available on http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.htm
or via git from sourceforge:
git clone git://pure-data.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/pure-data/pure-data
Main change from 0.43-2 is that MIDI input is improved on Mac and Windows.
Also, I added a stub to future-proof Pd against a possible extension of the
file format so that in the future there could be a way to set widths of
boxes and stuff like that (and 0.43-3 would read those files and only complain
once instead of complaining for pages.)
I'm ready to start hacking on 0.44. The most urgent thing seems to be for
me to go back and work on the audio system (and perhaps tweak MIDI a bit
more too).
The thing I'm actually looking forward to doing is to extend textfiles and
message boxes and data structures to be able to spit lists of atoms around
much more flexibly than now.
Also pd vanilla needs tilde objects to do interpolating signal snapshots,
phase-syncable oscillators, and other stuff on that level, also likely
to be a lot of fun.
cheers

Hi everyone,
we gonna start the new apodio gnu/linux distro next week and of course
PD is an absolute requirement!
Therefore I would ask here what is the best version of PD-extended
0.43 at the moment to be included in it. Knowing that it will be a
stable version to stay for a couple of years ;-) so is a stable
PD-extended 0.43 version available or when it will be available?
Only the beta-version is available right now :
http://puredata.info/downloads/pd-extended/releases/0.43.1
thank you for your help.
cheers

Hi list,
I'm happy to present my first external named [m2f_vst].
It calculates midi note to frequency (Hz), just like [mtof], but with a
variable semitone to whole tone ratio. That means it makes it possible to
play in temperaments 31 (ratio 3:5) and 19 (ratio: 2:3) equal division, as
well as 12 (1:2), 5 (0:1), 7 (1:1) and everything in between.
To be able to use it as intended it's, except for ratio "0.5" that makes it
work similar to [mtof], necessary to set a modulation index, where 0 is
default (C-C#-D-Eb-E-F-F#-G-G#-A-Bb-B). Changing the value for "mod"
replaces one note for another (for example G# for Ab) for every "+1" or
"-1" in the circle of fifths up by increasing and down by decreasing.
Documentation is provided in the manual/ folder. An example patch that
plays a part of J.S. Bach's prelude of the 5th English Suite is provided in
the examples/ folder.
You can find it here:

((( MUME 2012 )))
1st International Workshop on Musical Metacreation
http://www.metacreation.net/mume2012/
Held at the Eighth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and
Interactive Digital Entertainment (AIIDE'12)
Stanford, Palo Alto, California, USA
October 9, 2012
----------------------
Deadline for Paper and Demo Submissions:
*** July 6, 2012 ***
======================
We are delighted to announce the 1st International Workshop on Musical
Metacreation (MUME2012) to be held October 9, 2012, in conjunction
with the Eighth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and
Interactive Digital Entertainment (AIIDE'12).
Thanks to continued progress in artistic and scientific research, a
new possibility is emerging in our musical relationship with
technology: Generative Music or Musical Metacreation, the design and
use of computer music systems which are "creative on their own".
Metacreation involves using tools and techniques from artificial
intelligence, artificial life, and machine learning, themselves often
inspired by cognitive and life sciences. Musical Metacreation suggests
exciting new opportunities to enter creative 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.
The workshop will bring together artists, practitioners and
researchers interested in developing software and systems that
autonomously (or interactively) recognize, learn, represent, complete,
accompany, compose or interpret music. In particular, emphasis will be
put on systems with real-time aspects, since these are relevant to
both art and entertainment communities.
Topics
======
We encourage paper and demo submissions on topics including the
following:
* Novel representations of musical information
* Systems for autonomous or interactive music composition
* Systems for automatic generation of expressive musical
interpretation
* Systems for learning or modelling music style and structure
* Systems for intelligently remixing or recombining musical material
* Advances or applications of AI, machine learning, and
statistical techniques for musical purposes
* Advances or applications of evolutionary computing or agent and
multiagent-based systems for musical purposes
* Computational models of human musical creativity
* Techniques and systems for supporting human musical creativity
* Online musical systems (i.e. systems with a real-time element)
* Adaptive music in video games
* Methodologies for, and studies reporting on, evaluation of
musical metacreations
* 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, video games, etc.
Format and Submissions
======================
The workshop will be a one day event including:
* Presentations of TECHNICAL PAPERS
* Presentations of POSITION PAPERS relevant to Musical
Metacreation and its future
* Presentations of DEMONSTRATIONS
* One or more PANEL SESSIONS (potential topics include
international collaborations, evaluation methodologies, industry
engagement, generative music in art vs. games)

Hi all,
Pd version 0.43-3 test1 is available on http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.htm
or via git from sourceforge:
git clone git://pure-data.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/pure-data/pure-data
There are small bug fixes (tabread4~ from very small tables; UTF-8 string
overflow fix; array deletion while used in DSP).
Also tried to fix the problems with MIDI input (actually USB "virtual MIDI"
inputs) overflowing queues.
Also adapted a GUI optimization by Hans-Cristophe that might make large
graphical tables work somewhat better.

XTH SENSE Workshop @ Beam Festival, London
with Marco Donnarumma.
Create your own low cost, biophysical, wearable sensor for muscle sounds.
We have only very few places left. Visit the link below to register.
Registration:
http://www.beamfestival.com/tickets-2/
~~WHAT
The Xth Sense is a biophysical musical instrument. With it you can produce
music with the sound of your muscles.
It is free and open source, and it was named the “world’s most innovative
new musical instrument” by the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology
(US, 2012).
Its name is spelled ecsth sense (not tenth sense!). But it’s way easier to
call it XS.
Students will build their own XS sensor.
Theoretical and practical training in gestural control of music and bodily
audiovisual performance with the Xth Sense will be provided.
Reclaim your body and let it sound!
Complete info:
http://marcodonnarumma.com/teaching/xth-sense-biophysical-music/
~~WHEN
The workshop costs £50 and takes place over 3 sessions:
6 – 7.30pm Friday 22 June
11am – 6pm Saturday 23 June
10am – 12pm Sunday 24 June
~~WHERE
Brunel University, Uxbridge, London.
feel free to distribute to your networks,
thanks,
best wishes,
