Computer Music Journal - Special Issue on Live Coding - Call for Submissions
by alex 23 Apr '12

23 Apr '12

We are excited to announce a call for papers for a special issue of Computer Music Journal, with a deadline of 21st January 2013, for publication in Spring of the following year. The issue will be guest edited by Alex McLean, Julian Rohrhuber and Nick Collins, and will address themes surrounding live coding practice. Live coding focuses on a computer musician’s relationship with their computer. It includes programming a computer as an explicit onstage act, as a musical prototyping tool with immediate feedback, and also as a method of collaborative programming. Live coding’s tension between immediacy and indirectness brings about a mediating role for computer language within musical interaction. At the same time, it implies the rewriting of algorithms, as descriptions which concern the future; live coding may well be the missing link between composition and improvisation. The proliferation of interpreted and just-in-time compiled languages for music and the increasing computer literacy of artists has made such programming interactions a new hotbed of musical practice and theory. Many musicians have begun to design their own particular representational extensions to existing general-purpose languages, or even to design their own live coding languages from scratch. They have also brought fresh energy to visual programming language design, and new insights to interactive computation, pushing at the boundaries through practice-based research. Live coding also extends out beyond pure music and sound to the general digital arts, including audiovisual systems, linked by shared abstractions. 2014 happens to be the ten-year anniversary of the live coding organisation TOPLAP (toplap.org). However, we do not wish to restrict the remit of the issue to this, and we encourage submissions across a sweep of emerging practices in computer music performance, creation, and theory. Live coding research is more broadly about grounding computation at the verge of human experience, so that work from computer system design to exposition of live coding concert work is equally eligible. Topic suggestions include, but are not limited by: - Programming as a new form of musical exploration - Embodiment and linguistic abstraction - Symbology in music interaction - Uniting liveness and abstraction in live music - Bricolage programming in music composition - Human-Computer Interaction study of live coding - The psychology of computer music programming - Measuring live coding and metrics for live performance - The live coding audience, or live coding without audience - Visual programming environments for music - Alternative models of computation in music - Representing time in interactive programming - Representing and manipulating history in live performance - Freedoms, constraints and affordances in live coding environments Authors should follow all CMJ author guidelines (http://www.mitpressjournals.org/page/sub/comj), paying particular attention to the maximum length of 25 double-spaced pages. Submissions should be received by 21st January 2013. All submissions and queries should be addressed to Alex McLean <alex.mclean(a)icsrim.org.uk>.

Sending and Receiving
by Rishabh Natarajan 23 Apr '12

23 Apr '12

Hi folks, I'm building a 2 way system consisting of 2 way send and receive patches. One patch will send 8 vslider values to the other patch via OSC and udpsend, while the other patch receives these values, and on adjusting sliders here, can send back changed slider values once again through udpsend and OSC. I'm getting an error saying "Packet size (5) is not a multiple of 4 bytes: dropping packet." I understand that an OSC packet has to be 4 bytes long. So how do I do this? Also, I am essentially building a loop between 2 patches (at the moment on the same computer) where each patch is feeding the other. Will this be a problem? Basically, I want to be able to control signal levels of channels from a remote destination, coming to my site, before they reach me, as in, I want to move a set of faders here which should adjust the corresponding set of faders at the remote site. Any ideas? Thanks, Rishabh

A 10-minute Pd music track from a beginner
by Yury Bulka 22 Apr '12

22 Apr '12

Hello Pd-list, I'd like to make my first post be about some music that Pd enabled me to compose... There's nothing technically fancy; I'd just like to hear other musicians' thoughts about the track from the artistical perspective. The link is the following: http://soundcloud.com/yurb/saiten (I wrote some more information on the description at the target site.) Thank you very much, Yury

dollar arguments and iemguts
by Mike Moser-Booth 22 Apr '12

22 Apr '12

What's up, list! So I'm trying to update my gui abstractions now that iemguts is in Pd-extended 0.43 by making some custom properties dialogs for them. One of the things I'm looking to do is use [iem_r] and [iem_s] to set receive names and send names for the inlets/outlets and "saving" them with [canvasargs]. I'd like to be able to input something like "$0-inlet1" as a receive name in a symbol box like you would with the normal Pd guis, but I haven't had success with it. I've had no problems doing it without dollar arguments. Has anyone found a way to do this? .mmb -- Mike Moser-Booth - mmoserbooth(a)gmail.com Master's Student in Music Technology Schulich School of Music, McGill University Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology "Words that make questions may not be questions at all." -- Neil deGrasse Tyson

Re: [PD] (OT) safely connect piezo transducer to soundcard as microphone
by richard duckworth 21 Apr '12

21 Apr '12

If you add an electrolytic coupling capacitor to that schematic before it goes into the soundcard it will block any DC 'electret powering' voltage and prevent it from getting back into your piezo circuit. A 1uF should do it.

(OT) safely connect piezo transducer to soundcard as microphone
by Matteo Sisti Sette 21 Apr '12

21 Apr '12

Hi, This is OT but I'm sure many of you have used piezo microphones sometimes. I've often connected a piezo transducer to the microphone input of my computer (and other computers) by simply soldering the two wires to the T and S of a minijack plug, and it works just fine and my soundcard hasn't suffered any damage (apparently at least). However, I am concerned that a strong sound input (e.g. hitting the piezo transducer with with fair strength) may actually generate a voltage peak (thought only for a short time) capable of damaging the soundcard, couldn't it? Also, a friend of mine did the same with his Macbook and his headphones output has stopped working (may be just a coincidence though). Is there an easy way to make it safer? I seem to remember I had read somewhere (can't find it) about connecting a 1MOhm resistor in parallel... woudl that do the trick? thanks m.

[PD-announce] Satellite CCRMA workshop - Jun11-15 @STEIM, Amsterdam
by Jonathan Reus 21 Apr '12

21 Apr '12

Hey all, apologies for cross-posting. But I think this is relevant to anyone who'd like to experiment with mobile computing and music interaction. June 11-15 Edgar Berdahl and Florian Goltz will do a week-long intensive workshop on the subject of music interaction using open, embedded single-board linux computers and PureData. Please see the workshop information below, and feel free to pass this along to anyone you think would be interested! Satellite CCRMA: Interactive design with open embedded computers June 11th, 2012 10:00 am until June 15th, 2012 *Advanced registration is required for this course and can be made using this online registration form<http://www.steim.org/steim/event_registration.php?event=501> . * This is an in-depth course in physical interaction design led by researchers Edgar Berdahl and Florian Goltz. In this workshop we will explore the essential notions of interactive art and invention through working with small embeddable computers (the open, DIY-friendly Beagle Board<http://beagleboard.org/>). These small computers combine the connectivity of a laptop with the computational power of a high-end smartphone; however they are less expensive than either and fit inside a cigar box. We will dedicate much of the workshop to prototyping new functional artworks, for example: musical instruments, effects processors, interactive installation works, and anything else you can imagine that requires high computational power in a small, inexpensive footprint. In the broader sense this workshop deals with interaction design: What happens when human behaviours meet those of machines? How do the devices we use determine the style of interaction? How do we design for the limitations of human performance and the affordances of machines? A key component of this workshop will be learning about the process of making something that interacts with the real world. We will cover the topic of physical interaction design in depth, using the physical interaction design framework developed by Bill Verplank as a fundamental approach. Specific topics we will cover include: - The core perspectives of physical interaction design: idea, metaphor, model, display, error, scenario, tasks, and control - Exercises in invention, brainstorming and sketching - A survey of existing controllers and interactive music practices - Embedded, open computing with Linux and the Beagle Board - Sensor technologies (force-sensitive, capacitive, optical, and acceleration) and the design of custom DIY sensors using conductive and piezoelectric fabrics - Applications of sensors and electronics to real-time music - Programming music synthesis and effects with PureData - Interfacing sensors with the Beagle Board using the Arduino Nano - Hands-on work with analog and digital electronics *Dates: 11 – 15 June , 2012 Time: 10:00 – 19:00 each day with lunch break Location: STEIM, Achtergracht 19, 1017WL Amsterdam Cost: €300 registration + cost of workshop kit *(see below) For those traveling from abroad, STEIM has available a number of rooms in our artist hotel for a discounted rate. Please contact us directly by email if you are interested in reserving one of these rooms. * For more information visit STEIM.ORG <http://steim.org/> The Beagle Board at the heart of our creations will be running Satellite CCRMA <https://ccrma.stanford.edu/%7Eeberdahl/Satellite/>, a special flavor of the Linux operating system developed at Stanford University. Included in Satellite CCRMA is PureData, a widely-used open-source visual programming language for real-time sound synthesis and processing. We’ll be using PureData for most of the programming of sound and interaction on our devices. The workshop is intended for musicians or composers, makers, engineers, industrial designers, or anybody looking to learn more about interaction design with basic analog and digital electronics. Please see the Physical Interaction Design for Music course taught at Stanford University<https://ccrma.stanford.edu/courses/250a/>for more information. * We will provide workshop kits containing all the necessary hardware (BeagleBoard, Arduino Nano, breadboard, sensors, and components). The kits can then be purchased and taken home at the end of the workshop after you have built your prototypes. Thanks to a generous donation of components by the FLORIS.CC webshop <http://www.pieterfloris.nl/shop/> we are able to sell the kits for €165. The price of the kits may come down even further as we seek out additional sponsors. *WHAT TO BRING / PREPARE *Each participant must bring a Max OS X, Linux, or Windows laptop. A pair of headphones with a stereo minijack connector. And a willingness to experiment and invent! To save time, we ask that Windows users pre-install Cygwin in advance of the workshop so that openssh, xinit, and the “required” packages are all available. Even though we’ll be focusing on using PureData, any Linux-compatible synthesis software *should* theoretically run on the BeagleBoard. If you’re interested in using something other than PD please let us know beforehand so we can prepare. You should have some programming know-how (for example: MaxMSP, Javascript, or Python) for this workshop, though you certainly don’t need to be an expert. We will be providing numerous examples to get you off the ground. The kits can be used for prototyping new kinds of effects boxes (for instance, for guitar). If you are interested in creating a programmable effects box then please email the workshop leaders in advance so we can provide a 1/4″ guitar cable connector for you. *WORKSHOP LEADERS Edgar Berdahl* is the lead developer of the Satellite CCRMA platform for developing new musical instruments and sound art installations. Edgar received his PhD at CCRMA, Stanford University in the area of new musical instrument design. His research now spans the interdisciplinary fields of new media art, haptics, force-feedback control, acoustics, actuated musical instruments, physical modeling, physical interaction design, and Autonomous New Media Artefacts (AutoNMA). Edgar is the inventor of the haptic drum, which enables a musician to make gestures that would otherwise be difficult or impossible, and in general he aims to make new digital interactions seem more analog. * Florian Goltz* is an artist and engineer living in Berlin who designs sound art installations. Florian received a master’s degree in Communication Science and Technical Acoustics from the Technical University of Berlin, where he worked extensively with Arduino, Linux, Pure Data (pd), and SuperCollider. -- .......==__--~=-.---.--===-``````---_____.......,_ Jonathan Reus reusjc(a)gmail.com <jon(a)steim.nl> <http://www.steim.org>www.steim.org While the mind makes plans the body makes a story _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)iem.at http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce
