dear list,
after experimenting quite a bit with a perlin noise abstraction
(patched after https://cs.nyu.edu/~perlin/noise/), i tried to create
an external for similar use cases based on an existing simplex noise
implementation, aiming for better performance and support for up to 4
dimensions.
a test release is available on https://github.com/ben-wes/simplex
i'm considering uploading this to deken. but before doing so, i wanted
to check if there might be feedback or objections from people with
more experience (including concerns about the validity of a
single-object upload?).
one rather simple, but to me quite interesting use case is a variation
of scanned synthesis (if i understood that concept correctly), where a
3d noise space is sampled in a spiral movement - this is demonstrated
in the help file.
cheers - and sorry for the noise! :)

Extended Deadline for contributions: 2024-05-12
Speculative Sound Synthesis Symposium 2024, 26 - 28 September 2024, Graz, Austria Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, University of Music and Performing Arts Graz
https://speculative.iem.at/symposium/
Dear colleagues,
The submission deadline for the Speculative Sound Synthesis Symposium 2024 has been extended to May 12, 2024. This extension is intended to give potential contributors more time to prepare and submit their proposals.
Speculative Sound Synthesis deals with the relationship between technology and artistic thinking in computer music. It attempts to productively destabilize this relationship by artistically questioning the standards of sound synthesis.
Call for Contributions
We are looking for artistic research contributions that investigate speculative approaches to sound synthesis, computation, and music technology. These contributions should explore aesthetic positions that offer alternative perspectives to standardized ways of thinking and creating. The symposium aims to unite speculative approaches that make computational processes perceptible and address the tension between contingency and control in artistic practice.
Contribution Formats
We welcome proposals that use a variety of formats, such as (but not limited to) live-performance, lecture-performance, paper presentation, fixed-media, installation, workshop, exhibition of objects/sounds etc.
For more information on how to submit your contribution, please visit:
https://speculative.iem.at/symposium/docs/call_for_contributions/
Updated important dates:
- Deadline for submissions: 2024-05-12
- Notification of acceptance: 2024-05-31
- Registration closes: 2024-06-16
- Camera-ready submissions: 2024-06-30
- Symposium starts: 2024-09-26
- Symposium ends: 2024-09-28
The symposium will take place in Graz as part of the artistic research project Speculative Sound Synthesis, funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) within the program for Arts-based research PEEK (AR 713-G). It is hosted by the Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM) at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz (KUG).
Best regards,
The Speculative Sound Synthesis Symposium Organizing Committee
