Dear List,
Although "Lost Highway", a contemporary opera by composer Olga Neuwirth, had it's world premiere in 2003, i want to point your attention to the UK premiere tonight and it's following six shows at the Young Vic Theatre in London during the next days. The piece itself is an impressive mixture of onstage acting, orchestral music, surround sound, audio samples and live-processed signals. The last being entirely done in Pd of course. Having a strong tradition of working with Olga Neuwirth, the IEM in Graz took it's ambisonic approach to the road, installing almost 30 loudspeakers in the venue. All Pd processing currently runs on a linux machine and is being operated following the orchestral score and stageplay. The show's sound design was done by Markus Noisternig, all Pd programming by Thomas Musil. http://mona.mur.at/youngvic/dsc01082.jpg As this is a fairly large project i would take the opportunity to thank the pd comunity for their work and support.
regards,
Peter Plessas
