Sound Spatialization w/Hoa Library |
CICM/Paris 8 team
((live via network)) Guillot,Sèdes,Paris |
HoaLibrary allows musicians and composers
to synthesize, transform and render sound fields in a creative and artistic
way. This library facilitates the understanding and the appropriation of
key concepts of Ambisonics. Thanks to original graphical interfaces,
HoaLibrary offers a lot of new signal processing like diffuse sound field
synthesis, perspective distortion or spatial filtering.

New Blankets and Puredata from the top and the roots. |
Rustomji Vania |
Gi Vania, one of the founders of New Blankets, will explore and
discuss perspectives on how New Blankets and Pd synergy has developed since 2008
when Miller joined the founding Board.
The "Suitcase Supercomputer" first built right here in Atkinson Hall out of PSP+cameras+Wifi (with Miller &
many Friends and Friends of Friends), the first ever Fedora-Pd-extended Live Stick which Gi
designed and produced with Hans-Christoph Steiner, the Pd+RPi workshops that he has enabled and participated
in with Miller since the first 100 Pd+RPi kits arrived last year for circulation — and more.
Note: Without bringing a crystal ball to roll but with a new role at Southern Illinois University as Deputy Director for Research Computing and Cyberinfrastructure
Gi will outline (and try to instigatediscussion of) New Blankets' possible best
initiatives forward for 2014. In fact it seems likely that in 2014 the Venn diagrams of community open benevolent activity will show
New Blankets in a much thicker overlap with mainline campus computing and
professional/academic libraries. With his commitment to New Blankets and technical leadership role at SIU Gi is a principal architect of how New Blankets will find a good path forward — with many universities, museums and cultural centers. And "Mr. Gi" is quite a good listener as well. So let the NB discussion roll!

netpd |
Roman Haefeli |
netpd is a CRNMME (Collaborative Realtime Networked Music Making Environment)
built in Pure Data. It allows many users to have a realtime
jam sessions with each other, connected over the net.
Users might contribute their own netpd-ized patches a.k.a. instruments
or use pre-existing ones. The set of patches, as well as the state of
each is synchronized between clients in order to provide identical
experience for every connected user.

High Performance Wireless Innovation — Experience from HPWREN |
Hans-Werner Braun |
HPWREN functions as a collaborative Internet-connected cyberinfrastructure on research, education, and public safety activities. The project supports a wireless data network in San Diego, Riverside, and Imperial counties (topology). The network includes backbone nodes, typically on mountain tops, to connect often hard-to-reach areas in remote environments. |

Pdl2Ork + Saturday workshop Sneak_Peek |
Ico Bukvic |
"At L2Ork we seek to explore new and exciting opportunities that arise from combining the quintessential form of collaboration with centuries of tradition found in the Western orchestra, with affordable and versatile contemporary technology, in this case laptops. Since laptops, unlike traditional instruments can take on many different roles, we believe that there is no single ultimate way to implement a laptop orchestra and we see this as its greatest potential."
