Dear all,

Pd-L2Ork version 20241111 is now available for download. Apart from the usual bug-fixes, the new version also integrates select Purr-Data editor and vanilla 0.55 improvements, as well as latest 3rd-party externals directly from their github repositories, starting with cross-platform HID external hidraw, and speech synthesis external flite. In addition, L2Ork Tweeter has received a version bump to 0.85.

As usual, you will find installers for all major platforms (Linux (Arch, Ubuntu, plus Flatpak, and aarch64 or RPi), MacOS, and Windows) at https://bit.ly/pd-l2ork

WebPdL2Ork continues to be developed in parallel. For more info, visit https://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/pd-l2ork-invades-the-web/

Lastly, on October 19th, L2Ork International Ensemble it premiered its sixth work commissioned by the City of Alexandria (VA) Office of the Arts, featuring performers over 5,000 miles apart. The performance integrates projection mapping (by a collaborating artist Thomas Tucker) on a physical art installation Interstellar Influencer (Make an Impact) by StudioKCA that was on display in Alexandria's Waterfront park. Event recording can be seen on L2Ork's YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1O-3g2tkoQ

As L2Ork International Ensemble continues to grow, we invite anyone interested in collaborative musicking to contact us, and we will gladly add you to our Google Group and invite you to participate in future rehearsals and performances.

Looking forward, stay tuned for a multi-site L2Ork Tweeter Hackathon scheduled for spring 2025. To learn more about the inaugural Hackathon that took place last spring, visit https://l2ork.music.vt.edu/static-pages/2024.4-hackathon.html
