BEAM Festival presents BEAM NIGHT – a special one-off taster event held at
Cafe OTO.
Following BEAM’s mission, the acts of this night were all featured at BEAM
2011 and all use unusual and/or homemade interfaces to perform.
http://www.beamfestival.com/beam-night/
- Atau Tanaka & Adam Parkinson play iPhones as sensitive, handheld
controllers.
- Bruno Zamborlin performs Cafe OTO’s wall – possibly for the first time?!
With his invention, Mogees, which read gestural language on any surface.
- Marco Donnarumma’s Music for Flesh is a visceral sensor performance using
his instrument system Xth sense, which has just been named “the world’s
most innovative new musical instrument” and awarded First Prize at the
Guthman Musical Instrument Competiton in Atlanta.
- Tom Bugs (maker of Bugbrand synth products) appears in a rare performance
using his Modular Synths and also sets up a mini-installation for the night.
- The beguilingly creative Leafcutter John conjures up soundscapes with his
new explorations in light and sound.
hope to see some of you there,
best wishes,

Dear Pd community,
The international research team of which I am a humble member (PPMR -
ParaPonera Music Research) is proud to release today the first working
prototype of ANTSynth (see below) developed as Pure Data patch.
Attached is a standalone prototype patch which should work directly in
Pd (make sure DSP is working and use the main toggle to start).
Testing and (constructive) critique are very welcome (please consider
this is very preliminary!!)
Regards,
Lorenzo.
A little background on Antsynth (more details and links in the patch and
future posts):
ANTSynth is a cutting edge, innovative synthesis method. It stands for
Ant Stimulation Turmoil Synthesis. Inspired by Natural Science, Biology
and pioneering Engineer studies it creates unique additive-aggregate
mesh-able (over)tones with complete formations of broad spectra which in
turn the modern composer can imply (we think) in any composition.
ANT synthesis is inspired by the Natural Sciences as it translates into
sound some of the most interesting patterns of ants' complex social
behaviour as outlined by Ted R. Schultz in his paper “In search of ant
ancestors”. ANTSynth is created by an international team of biologists,
engineers, sound designers and programmers (PPMR) and will be released
as Open Source in the hope that it will be useful for the future
generations of researchers, sound designers, artist, biologists, composers.
Many questions and issues about the feasibility and optimisation of
ANTSynth remain but preliminary results seem to be promising.

hi list,
as some of you might use it this way, with "nop" / "nop~" (no operation) you can actually have segmented patch chords in pd. i wonder if someone could write a gui version (a small point e.g.) which is smaller than the ordinary object box? i can't but i think it would be a good thing.
best
mirko
