Call for proposals - Piksel/BALTAN Laboratories residency
by h220 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

Open Call for Proposals BALTAN Laboratories and Piksel collaborative research and development residency ++ Deadline: August 31, 2009 ++ As part of BALTAN Laboratories’ Blueprint research programme investigating the roles and forms of the art and technology laboratory of the future, BALTAN and Piksel are collaborating to explore the relationship between hard and software developers working on free and open source tools for artistic production, and the artistic use and development of these tools in a laboratory setting. One artist will be selected from this open call to produce an artwork using tools developed in collaboration with local and international developers of the Piksel Community, together with BALTAN and Piksel, through workshops and a residency at BALTAN. The Piksel/BALTAN collaboration will run from September until December 2009. Specifically, we are interested in proposals to work with the tracking and mapping technology Open Computer Vision. OpenCV is a library of programming functions mainly aimed at real time computer vision. Example applications of the OpenCV library are Human-Computer Interaction (HCI); Object Identification, Segmentation and Recognition; Face Recognition; Gesture Recognition; Motion Tracking, Ego Motion, Motion Understanding; Structure From Motion (SFM); Stereo and Multi-Camera Calibration and Depth Computation; Mobile Robotics. [Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCV] There will also be opportunity for the artist and involved developers to connect to the BALTAN Tracker, a tool being developed at BALTAN for thermographic cameras. Knowledge, experience, tools and artwork will be openly disseminated both online as well as in person through public events at BALTAN and at the Piksel 09 Festival. Reflection on open processes and sharing knowledge throughout the research, development and production phases of an artistic work, beyond archiving, is an integral part of this collaboration. For more information about BALTAN and Piksel see: http://www.baltanlaboratories.org http://www.piksel.no We offer: - a residency period of up to 6 weeks at BALTAN Laboratories in Eindhoven, the Netherlands during the months of September, October and November 2009. Specific dates to be determined in collaboration with the selected artist. - an artist fee of 2000 Euro - a production budget to be discussed - travel to and from Eindhoven and Bergen, Norway for the Piksel festival, as well as accommodation in both locations - a week-long development workshop with OpenCV developers and other participants from September 21-27, 2009. - support from the Piksel community in the further technical development of the selected project throughout the residency period. - presentation of the project at the Piksel festival in Bergen, Norway from November 19-22, 2009 - public presentation of the results of the artist’s research at BALTAN Laboratories in Eindhoven Requirements: - proposals are welcome from professional artists worldwide; - the artist must have advanced technical knowledge allowing him or her to experiment with the above-mentioned technologies; - the artist should preferably have experience working in collaborative settings with people from different disciplines; - the artist must be willing and able to travel to Eindhoven for a residency period of 6 weeks and to the Piksel festival in Bergen from November 19-22 - the artist must be willing to openly and thoroughly document the artistic process. Proposal: Please send the following (digitally) to the attention of both Angela Plohman, Director, BALTAN Laboratories at angela[AT]baltanlaboratories.org and Gisle Froysland, Director, Piksel at info[AT]piksel.no by August 31, 2009: - an outline of the concept underlying the work that you wish to develop (200 words max) - a general outline of the scope of the final work (200 words max - can include visual sketches) - a motivation for why you would like to work in the context of this particular residency as well as an overview of your interest in the technologies mentioned above (250 words max) - an outline of the research and development plan for the work (250 words max) - an up-to-date CV including links to previous work ---

[PD-announce] RjDj turns 1.000.000 and 100.000
by Frank Barknecht 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

_From the "shameless spam" department_ RjDj turns 1.000.000 and 100.000 July 23rd, 2009 http://more.rjdj.me/2009/07/23/1-000-000-and-100-000/ Wow. We just realized that RjDj passed two magic numbers!! RjDj Artists, Producer, Fans, Freaks, Listeners, Team, Evangelist, Everyone get yourself a drink and toast to the fact that we now have more than 100.000 scenes downloaded through the RjDj app which also means that we have officially surpassed more than 1.000.000 (ONE MILLION) distributed RjDj scenes. About one year ago we started to do some hacking with a very, very small team to prove the fact that reactive music is here to stay. In october 10, 2008 we released the first version of RjDj and now, not even one year later we have more than one million scenes out there. For the whole team here in RjDj land this is a huge success. We are so proud about this that the first thing we did is called our mum and dad to say thanks. As RjDj scenes technically are Pd (vanilla) patches bundled with additional resources this is big news for the Pd community. Who would have thought that there will be one million Pd patches distributed to mobile phones within one year? So the hugestest THANK YOU goes out to all the Pd patchers out there, to the hackers attendig the Brazil Convention, that we sadly have to miss due to bad timing on our side, and of course to Miller Puckette, without whom all this wouldn't have been started the way it did. This all really proves that releasing music as software is a very, very powerful concept. We all have just started to grasp the potential of this and let me tell you we are really busy pushing the boundaries. We will keep pushing updates and new features and i hope we will also see amazing new scenes released on RjDj during the next couple of month. Thanks again to all the artists, producers, dj's and hackers releasing scenes on RjDj. And of course thanks to all the listeners, who have managed not only to install a lot of scenes but also to send us those 20.000 recordings. To celebrate, we just switched one of the newest scenes from the kids on dsp to free. Go and get it :-) -- Michael Breidenbruecker and the team of Reality Jockey _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)iem.at http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce

mrpeach/binfile bang on done problem
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

Hey Matrin and all, We are here in Brazil hacking a srt file object for reading subtitles. Your binfile has proven indispensible in this process since we need to pass thru text to text3d without commas, etc being interpreted. So big thanks for that. But there is one odd thing with it, and that's the way it bangs when its done. Its different than [textfile]. I was wondering if that was deliberate. Anyway, here's a patch to make it act like textfile. Index: binfile.c =================================================================== --- binfile.c (revision 11724) +++ binfile.c (working copy) @@ -233,10 +233,9 @@ if (x->x_rd_offset < x->x_length) { c = x->x_buf[x->x_rd_offset++]; - if (x->x_rd_offset == x->x_length) outlet_bang(x->x_bang_outlet); outlet_float(x->x_bin_outlet, (float)c); } - else outlet_bang(x->x_bin_outlet); + else outlet_bang(x->x_bang_outlet); } /* The arguments of the ``list''-method .hc

Mixing ie how best to use the IN and OUT clip meters?
by danomatika 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

Howdy all, I've been having a fight with myself on how to best mix within pd. I'm constantly going back and forth between: 1. Keep everything and a lower relative so that the OUT never goes above 100 and the CLIP box never goes red. 2. Follow my ears and make it sound good, ignore the OUT box/button. In practice, following #2 yields much better sounding recordings, at least to me. I'm definitely not clipping as there are not aliasing/digi distortion going on. Viewing the file in Audacity mere shows the drums to be the culprit, but as they are so fast, I cant actually hear any clip. Generally, following #1 gives me good sounding mixes, but at way too low of a volume. How do you guys approach doing this? I notice the IN and OUT meters are off by default ..., but I assume that's due to performance reasons. :D I mix everything through separate channels with [vu~]'s using [throw~] and [catch~] objects which are eventually combined into a left and right channel which are sent to the [dac~]. Does anyone have any other tricks such as using scopes etc to help? Alos, I keep setting the drums too loud over and over again. Yves, how do I properly use [compressor~], does [compressor~ 1] have it output at 1.0 or what? I know it works but I don't really understand the -1 to 5 range. Does anyone have any good, fast tricks in pd for good sounding drum compression? --- Dan Wilcox danomatika.com robotcowboy.com

Re: [PD] tabsend~ help patch

> The inlet is the audio signal that > will be write on the array, check > your description! Thanks. I think that came from using [noise~] as a template, and mindlessly changing "noise~" to "tabsend~" on the first pass. > > Anyway it was helpful, I didn't know samplerate~... > > Thanks, I'll take a look to the 0.999 thing. Now I see clicking repeatedly on the message box to [tabread] shows the value getting smaller, which I guess means the frequency I'm sending to [phasor~] is slightly larger than it should be. -Jonathan > > > > On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 3:40 PM, Jonathan Wilkes<jancsika(a)yahoo.com> > wrote: > > I'm currently editing the help patch > "tabsend~-help.pd," which is attached. > > > > It didn't have an example patch, so I went ahead and > made one. > > Problem is, I've never used tabsend~, so I'm not sure > how useful that > > example is.

tabsend~ help patch
by Jonathan Wilkes 22 Jul '09

22 Jul '09

I'm currently editing the help patch "tabsend~-help.pd," which is attached. It didn't have an example patch, so I went ahead and made one. Problem is, I've never used tabsend~, so I'm not sure how useful that example is. If someone has a better example to include in this patch, please send it my way. Also, I don't understand why the first element in my example is "0.999954". It's the same if I explicitly set the phase to zero. Thanks, Jonathan
