Hi all,
This is somewhat relevant to Pd since the workshop during the day will feature it -- I'll show some recent progress in Pd during the workshop...

August 17@UCSC August 17, 2002 - Santa Cruz
An annual event since 1998, Woodstockhausen (WSH) features both local and visiting artists in a night of free sound and visual experimentation. Fueled by the ELectron SAlon concert series and the volunteer effort of enthusiastic individuals, WSH2002 invades UCSC's quarry and opens with a 1-day workshop investigating new tools for music composition and interpretation. Scientists, composers, musicians and home-brew software developers will gather during the day at the G.U.I Workshop ("Gesturing the UPIC Interface") to exchange ideas and brainstorm on UPIX, a freeware application that "makes sounds out of drawings" (and much more...). This workshop will be hosted by Peter Elsea, head of UCSC's Electronic Music Studios. At sunset, the crowd is invited to move to the open-air concert in the quarry. Bring your blanket and food to relax and enjoy video animations synchronized to live and recorded quadraphonic music by selected artists from all over the States and all over the world. Genres range from gamelan to computer compositions with a common theme: unusual, experimental, and innovative. Thanks to our sponsors: UCSC for the venue, BBI for the sound system, Cycling'74 for its support for bringing Gilbert Nouno to Santa Cruz for this performance, the Rio Theatre for the video projector, and La Kitchen (Paris) for generating and supporting the GUI workshop.
