[PD-announce] (((NOMUSIC))) Festival X - Open Call

I got this festival announcement and thought that it might be interesting for netpd people. Koray. From: "((NOMUSIC))" <nomusic(a)altern.org> Subject: (((NOMUSIC))) Festival X - Open Call ( ( ( N O M U S I C ) ) ) F E S T I V A L X * * * Open Call to Net Audio Performers * * * * http://www.nomusic.org - festival(a)nomusic.org * -< 48 Participants >- -< 24h Continuous Audio Streaming Festival >- -< Realtime Simultaneous Dual Live >- -< Audio Live Performing only via Internet >- -< Creative Commons Audio License - No Archivz >- -< Stream Live Audio - Double/Split Channel >- Stream Start : 13th December 2006 (00h00 / 00:00am) [GMT+0 Greenwich Time] Stream End : 13th December 2006 (23h59 / 11:59pm) [GMT+0 Greenwich Time] Join Now the (((NOMUSIC))) FESTIVAL X ! Submit JOIN FORM Here : http://www.nomusic.org > and then click JOIN [Deadline : 15th October, 2006] [Line-up results : 15th November, 2006] * PRESENTATION : (((NOMUSIC))) started on June 2001, according to the principle that a diffusion site on Internet should correspond to the representation of the singular performances of a new generation of artists, musicians, performers and other actors of the electronic scene. The creation of this open diffusion site proved to be necessary because of today’s difficulty to perform disembodied concerts of electronic music on stage, in a classical frontal (actor/audience) representation space. Nowadays, these emerging new multimedia performances allow everybody to approach music in a more singular way, with a different listening practice and on a more sharing scene. Every year since 2001, (((NOMUSIC))) offers one or more festivals which programming is geographically variable and which function is to relay in a coordinated way a 24 hours earth revolution of no-musicians @ home. This virtual earth revolution materializes a world wide sound cover of 24 time zones according to the universal time [GMT 0]. This gives to participants who are scattered all over the world the opportunity to take part in the festival. The participation is free of charge and the recruitment is made exclusively on Internet through diffusion lists. The selection is not made according to practices and genres criterion but rather according to the approaches and artistic positions which should echo the logic of the festival. (((NOMUSIC))) platform offers two types of live. In its classical form, the participant plays alone at home for one hour. He can also play in dual. Dual is a live in which two geographical sites are linked via Internet and mixed together in stereo (participant 1 on the left channel and participant 2 on the right one). (((NOMUSIC))) wishes to generate improbable duals and gatherings between two participants during one hour time in a web audio performance. We make no storage because we think that Internet is a huge database which conveys already a great amount of dead informations and we don’t want to pollute it further. We are thus in favour of instant access to a selective event. The mechanism of the programming is not automated; it is relayed manually for 24 hours without any interruption by laboiteblanche and Carl.Y., two real human routers who are at the service of continuous audio stream and who endure technical difficulties and give rapid formation on the technologies of streaming to all the participants. (((NOMUSIC))) stands between musical negation and anti-bruitism, in a non-silent interstice of audio manifestation. It allows the composer-performer to be his own auditor, in a place where nothing should be heard but just felt as a new entity to observe. * FOUNDERS : > From 1999 on, laboiteblanche and Carl.Y, have both experimented streaming through series of interconnected web concerts and programming via the site NOWEB thus creating a form of festival which dimension is tailor-made for the web. The support of the late CICV Pierre Schaeffer ’s residence at Hérimoncourt [Fr] gave more opportunity for further development of the interface system; it allowed also an access to a bandwidth of great capacity, which is essential to bear the year after year rising load of the connections. Technically speaking, (((NOMUSIC))) is now autonomous and provides its own lodging on Internet since the creation of the NOHOST network. laboiteblanche & Carl.Y play regularly together in concerts or on the net, from Berlin to Fournos via Paris or other cities. At the same time, each of them develops different projects related to the new technologies: laboiteblanche : http://grandhoteldeparis.com Car.Y : http://auditorium.noweb.org * STATS : * 5 years and 10 festivals * 226 participants during 212 hours * More than 8000 listeners from 25 countries over 4 continents * SUPPORT : (((NOMUSIC))) is a free, self-managing and independent festival which diffuses under a Creative Commons License.

MOD Trackers (was Pd to CV for a Moog) (OT)
by Kyle Klipowicz 17 Sep '06

Just curious, how many of you started computer music due to mod trackers, and which ones were your favorites? I started with ScreamTracker, but finished out using Impulse Tracker (I was a newbie). ~Kyle On 9/12/06, Mathieu Bouchard <matju(a)artengine.ca> wrote: > On Tue, 12 Sep 2006, Christian Klippel wrote: > > > hi steffen, i'd like to refer you to the right keywords: > > covox speech thing & disney sound source > > in wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covox_Speech_Thing > > Btw, the first MOD player I've ever used, had plans for a Covox straight > in its manual.

Ticking / looping sound
by Fred Inklaar 16 Sep '06

16 Sep '06

Hi, I have downloaded severeal versions of PD, but so far I have only managed to run Pd version 0.38.4-extended-RC8 properly. Both Pd version 0.39-2 compiled for Macintosh and Pd version 0.40-0 test 07 compiled for Macintosh OSX 10.4 (i386 or ppc) (5 Megabytes) 'tick' periodically (quite fast) as soon as any sound is produced. Any ideas what this could be? I'm running PD on a 1.67 Ghz G4 PowerBook, Mac OSX 10.4.7. Thanks, fred

Re: [PD] buffer overflow with pix_image

That has proven stable for months on end of loading movies and should be similar for still images. You could also put the stills into a single movie file using Quicktime Pro or an Applescript.

We could work around this problem by changing the images less often, but it feels dirty as it would just _delay_ the crash to a time beyond exhibition duration. Would it help if the images had smaller pixel sizes and thus take less memory? I guess the bug is known, but is anybody able to fix it before the opening in one week ? any hint would be greatly appreciated, bests, .hh.

Computer Music feature reconsidered
by Ollie Glass 16 Sep '06

16 Sep '06

Hi everyone, thanks for the reply to my last request. I realize now it was a bit too vague and ambitious for a simple patch. I've re-considered the article, come up with several ideas for patches and I wonder if people could suggest how easy they would be to make and if you think they'd make interesting demonstrations of PD for a new audience? 1 A markov chain reading controller values from an midi file and outputting a control change every time a note is received. 2 Averaging the last 10 values received from a midi controller and outputting that average every time a control message is received. 3 Outputting random midi control changes within a range, the upper and lower bounds learned from received midi control changes. Hope this seems more reasonable and someone can help me with this project. Best wishes, Ollie
