A not-real-time cmdline modular audio synth, sampler, sequencer. Reads plain text files in wcnts near-english-synth-def-language to output 16 bit stereo M$ WAV format audio files. This release has focused upon making life easier for the wcnt .wc file composer. It is now possible to group together modules and then copy the group to a new group which has the same input/output relationships between the modules as the originals. Also, but not quite as helpful, you can instruct the sequencer to repeat the riff across a number of bars instead of messing about cutting and pasting. There is also a handful of new modules been added to wcnt-1.25, aswell as some bugfixes etc. wcnt - Wav Composer Not Toilet http://wcnt.sourceforge.net From dave at codeson.net Mon Oct 9 23:55:24 2006 From: dave at codeson.net (Dave Robillard) Date: Thu Oct 12 14:20:15 2006 Subject: [linux-audio-announce] LASH 0.5.2 Released Message-ID: <1160452524.7779.12.camel@localhost.localdomain> LASH is the LASH Audio Session Handler, which allow you to save and restore complex audio setups involving multiple interconnected JACK/Alsa quickly as a unit. This release fixes several bugs, upgrading is recommended. * Support for building without ALSA (OSX?

Website: http://aqualung.sf.net Without further ado, the ChangeLog is attached below. Enjoy, Tom 2006-10-03 Tom Szilagyi Aqualung 0.9beta6 http://aqualung.sf.net This release introduces a fair number of substantial improvements: * Music Store builder: automatically build a Music Store by scanning the files on disk. Perform CDDB lookups & extract metadata on the fly. * MPEG decoder enhancements: robust file recognition, VBR and UBR file support, frame-accurate seeking, true gapless playback via eliminating encoder padding+delay read from LAME headers. * Fully revamped metadata support using TagLib. The result is a more complete implementation also supporting APE tags in Musepack files. * Automatic output driver detection: ability to startup without command line arguments (using default driver parameters). * Systray (a.k.a. Notification Area) support. * Handling of compressed MOD files (.gz and .bz2). * Resolved issue with JACK memory locking (which previously resulted in runaway memory consumption when running with realtime JACK output). * Aqualung compiles & runs under FreeBSD and Cygwin. NEW LIBRARY DEPENDENCIES: * TagLib >= 1.4 is now required for metadata support. http://developer.kde.org/~wheeler/taglib.html * GTK+ >= 2.10 is needed for the (optional) Systray support. DROPPED DEPENDENCIES: * libid3tag library is not required anymore (succeeded by TagLib).

Now with experimental MIDI support! Download at: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jackit/jack-audio- connection-kit-0.102.20.tar.gz?download -- changes/fixes * Make "alsa" the default backend when both it and "freebob" are present. * JACK MIDI patch -- Experimental! * allow use of h/w devices that only support big-endian formats, without using ALSA plughw layer. * jack_lsp now has a -L flag to show "total latency" values reflecting port connections * ALSA driver no longer requires access to a control device (Lee Revell) * jack_lsp -t shows port type * jackd will exit if -R is used but realtime is unavailable * minor change in freebob backend command line options the -d option now takes a 'hw:port[,node]' string as argument instead of a single number. More flexible and consistent with the alsa backend. * good old fix about jack_watchdog killing the whole process group instead of the nearest offending client, which is by far a much more reasonable approach IMNSHO. Without this one, and while using QjackCtl under KDE as it seems, jack_watchdog will most likely tear the X server down, not just jackd and some of its clients as originally intended. * halve JACK_THREAD_STACK_TOUCH to 500000 * increase default --port-max option from 128 to 256 * This patch checks the specified client timeout so that it is enforced that it's smaller than the jack watchdog timeout. * Many bug fixes * Many documentation updates From rncbc at rncbc.org Fri Oct 6 19:24:31 2006 From: rncbc at rncbc.org (Rui Nuno Capela) Date: Thu Oct 12 14:20:25 2006 Subject: [linux-audio-announce] [ANN] QjackCtl 0.2.21 is out! Message-ID: <4526E5AF.8080101@rncbc.org> Greetings, In the wake of the JACK 0.102.20 release, here goes the respective friendly GUI: QjackCtl 0.2.21 is out. As usual, the change-log says it all: - GPL address update. - All window captions can now be set smaller as tool-widgets. This option takes effect when child windows are kept always on top. - For the brave of heart, specially the ones brave enough to try with Stephane Letz's jackdmp, a win32 build should be now possible. - The main window button text labels are now optional (after a kind suggestion by Geoff Beasley, thanks). - Increse default maximum number of ports setting from 128 to 256. - Initial freebob backend driver support. Also changed the coreaudio backend driver command line device name/id parameter (EXPERIMENTAL). - Closing the main window while not as an active JACK client, nor under a server running state, will just quit the whole application, even though the system-tray icon option is in effect. - The most relevant transport commands (Rewind, Play and Pause) are now made available on the main window context popup menu. - The post-shutdown script is now also being called when using the Stop button, whether the jackd server has been started internally or not. The initial hard-coded default is now on and set to `killall jackd` (as a workaround to an old request from Stephane Letz). - The main window buttons display are now optional. One can choose whether the left, right and/or transport buttons are hidden, making it for a total of six different modes for the main window presentation (after a much simpler suggestion from Paul Davis and Stephane Letz). - Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED). Nuff this time. Hope you enjoy. -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela From jaromil at dyne.org Sun Oct 8 04:20:08 2006 From: jaromil at dyne.org (jaromil) Date: Thu Oct 12 14:20:26 2006 Subject: [linux-audio-announce] dyne:bolic 2.2 codename DHORUBA released Message-ID: <20061008082008.GA3676@dyne.org> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 annunciazio'! annunciazio'! dyne.org foundation proudly present: 8 8 8 o 8 8 8 .oPYo8 o o odYo. .oPYo. 88 8oPYo. .oPYo. 8 o8 .oPYo. 8 8 8 8 8' `8 8oooo8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 ' 8 8 8 8 8 8 8. 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 . `YooP' `YooP8 8 8 `Yooo' 88 `YooP' `YooP' 8 8 `YooP' :.....::....8 ..::..:.....:..::.....::.....:..:..:.....: :::::::::ooP'.:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::...::::::: version 2.2 :: codename DHORUBA :::: 100% FREE MULTIMEDIA GNU/LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM FOR THE FREEDOM OF CREATION the complete system is free to download and copy, go on ____ _ http://dynebolic.org _ _____ ___ __ http://dynebolic.org __ ____ __ ___ http://dynebolic.org ___ ___ _ ____ http://dynebolic.org ____ __ ISO CD image of 620 Mbytes :: WHAT IS DYNE:BOLIC ? Dyne:bolic GNU/Linux is a live bootable cd, containing a whole operating system that works straight from boot, without the need to install or change anything on the hard disk. If you like and want to have it on harddisk you can simply copy the /dyne directory on your computer: the simpliest installation ever! Your older system is untouched and comes back booting without CD. Dyne:bolic is user-friendly: recognizes your hardware devices (sound, video, firewire, modem, network and USB) and offers a vast range of software for multimedia production: audio and video manipulation, sound composition and synthesis, 3D modeling, photography, peer2peer filesharing, web browsing, veejaying, desktop publishing, word processing, cd burning, email, encryption, anonymity tools and more. All software is free and there is no market operation behind dyne:bolic, just a communal effort to widen access to modern technology and let people be Free to Create. Dyne:bolic is being developed since more than 5 years and optimized to run also on older machines commonly found in Africa America Asia Europe and Oceania. It includes code from hundreds of programmers all around the world, with a lively community of artists, teachers and developers who use, distribute and adapt this platform according to their needs and desires. This operating system is a grassroot effort to share independent knowledge, it keeps away from commercial speculations and capitalist corporations, because CREATIONS WANT TO BE FREE. :: WHAT'S NEW IN THIS RELEASE? DHORUBA is a complete rebuild and modular rewrite of the whole system, enhanced for full usability and open for developers to join maintenance. Recent versions of audio and video tools provide a fully featured multimedia studio out of the box, ready for being employed at home, in classrooms and in media centers. See it like a Nomad Distribution attached to no hardware. You carry your live cd/dvd/usb key loaded. you boot on it on any machine, you do your stuff (from a user AND/OR developer point of view), you create a new live cd, you remove all your traces and you leave the camp... === updates and fixes in 2.2 - - dyne:II can now run all the system from USB storage - - supports docking and nesting on SATA, SCSI and USB - - Xorg has been upgraded to the latest 7.1 release - - new VOIP phone applications Iaxcomm and Kiax with pre-configured Blasterisk public account - - new AddUser and Wifi configuration tools - - grubconfig script for easy bootloader installation - - updates to the user's manual - - fixes to dhcp discovery at startup - - updates and fixes to Cinelerra ... and more fixes and enhancements to the core system === new dyne:II core features: - - it is a multiuser system, user interaction can be secured - - it includes all compiler and development tools needed to build dyne - - you can write modifications in the /usr system and save them - - it has advanced thin client functionality, booting from usb and net - - it's modular, so you can easily add and combine different software - - it's slick and snappy like the preceeding dyne:bolic, even better ;) === upgrading from version 1 To upgrade from version 1 to 2 just replace the dyne/ directory with the new one, or run the CD and answer yes when prompted. Before upgrading you have to manually backup the personal contents of your old nest and import them to a new one. Please note that: - - version 2 is not running on XBOX game consoles - - version 2 does not include the OpenMosix clustering system === dyne:II development history The dyne:II core has been compiled from scratch by Jaromil and Smilzo in 2005. During 2006 Jaromil completed a full rewrite of startup, nesting, docking, configuration and sdk scripts, aided by the experienced testing of Aymeric Antonios and Chun of Goto10. The new foundation of the dyne:II core opens up the development to more people, providing a modular packaging system for software collections and the possibility to customize the liveCD with your favourite applications. So it is born Pure:dyne, as the first dyne:II customization focusing on real time audio/video processing with pure data. visit the Developers Lounge -> http://dev.dynebolic.org === roadmap We salute and support all development done outside the capitalist empire, to produce and distribute low power and affordable computers. We look forward to support chinese dragons and simputers, solid state workstations and all kind of 100$ laptops. In fact, we are there already, the next step in this development will be adoption of a cross-platform build environment to cover all kinds of hardware around. :: FOR ACTIVISM IN CRISIS AREAS http://streamtime.org We imagine improvised expressive devices like a CD that turns your PC into an on line streaming studio. Imagine a mob that creates a traffic jam. Think of the religious policeman in London, the konfused kollege kid and the jealous dentist in Baghdad and the jailed blogger blogging on in Cairo. Building autonomous networks in extreme conditions. Streamtime uses old and new media for the production of content and networks in the fields of media, arts, culture and activism in crisis areas, like Iraq. Streamtime offers a diffuse environment for developing do-it-yourself media. We focus on a cultural sense of finding your own way in the quagmire that is Iraq, and its representation in the global media. We should not try to change politics in order to foster cultural change; we should support cultural manifestation in order to force political change. :: THIS IS RASTA SOFTWARE Jah Rastafari Livity bless our Freedom! This is free software, share it for the good of yourself and your people, respect others and let them express, be free and let others be free. Live long and prosper in Peace! But, no Peace without Justice. This software is about Resistence inna Babylon world which tries to control more and more the way we communicate and share information and knowledge. This software is for all those who cannot afford to have the latest expensive hardware to speak out their words of consciousness and good will. This software has a full range of applications for production and not only consumption of information, it's a full multimedia studio, you don't need to buy anything to express yourself. Freedom and sharing of knowledge are solid principles for evolution and that's where this software comes from. Inna babylon, money is the main requirement to make a voice possible to be heard by others. Capitalist and fundamentalist governments all around the world rule with huge TV monopolies spreading their propaganda, silencing all criticism. This is a struggle for Redemption from existing operating systems which always require new expensive hardware for doing the same as ever: give us free players but make us pay for producing our own voices. And the one who protects you rips you off, as the Arabs say. Dyne:bolic is a tool to produce and publish yourself, freely. There is nothing to consume here, there is all you need to create. :: ON THE PRESS Since the first release of the dyne:II series our efforts received a lot of attention, version 2.0 and 2.1 have been already redistributed on several publications worldwide.... online you can read // dyne:II reviewed on LinuxJournal http://www.linuxjournal.com/node/1000096 // DHORUBA RELEASE - read about it on METAMUTE http://www.metamute.org/?q=en/Dyne:bolic-2-download-new-exclusive-release // and the interview to Dhoruba Bin Wahad of the Black Panthers Party http://mediafilter.org/MFF/S36/S36.DBW.html MAX respect! :: BIG UP \o/ to DEVELOPERS & FRIENDS First of all salutes and great respect to the many developers who have written software included in dyne:bolic: a long list of names that is impossible to include here, you'll find information about them inside the CD and in the documentation of each software.

This is a wee small bugfix release of Simple Sysexxer. It now should build without needing Qt debug libs installed. As I didn't get any feedback since the first release (neither success stories nor complaints), I'd like to encourage anyone to send feedback or bug reports. Simple Sysexxer is a tool to exchange sysex data with MIDI devices, e.g. to do backups of the device's memory contents or to send presets loaded from the web. Advantages: * (Hopefully) easy to use graphical user interface * True ALSA sequencer support * Built using Qt, no KDE dependency at all * Minor changes to the source should make it run on Mac OS X or even Windows Disadvantages: * Requires Qt4 and will *not* build against Qt3 * No JACK MIDI support :) * No OSS support * No prebuilt binaries available Information and source download: http://www.christeck.de Enjoy, ce From nescivi at gmail.com Thu Oct 19 08:27:12 2006 From: nescivi at gmail.com (nescivi) Date: Fri Oct 20 19:05:17 2006 Subject: [linux-audio-announce] Linux Audio Conference #5 (LAC2007): Call for Papers, Music, etc In-Reply-To: <4534FC3A.6020903@schampijer.de> References: <4534FC3A.6020903@schampijer.de> Message-ID: <888384e60610190527h7161e141n601f512881a63a2e@mail.gmail.com> Dear all, we are happy to announce the call for papers for the 5th Linux Audio Developers Conference (LAC2007). The conference is organized by the TU-Berlin in cooperation with people of the Linux Audio Developers mailing list, the music festival Inventionen 2007 and the Humboldt University of Berlin. The LAC2007 is taking place at the TU-Berlin, Germany from the 22nd - 25th of March 2007. We have introduced some new tracks. Besides the category for papers, demos and workshops, calls for tutorials and hands on demos have been added. The tutorials aim is to give new (potential) users an overview of the possibilities of Linux Audio Software and how to get started. The LAC2007 provides a computer pool (LA Pool) where developers can give an introduction to their software and where participants can try out Linux Audio Software during the conference. This has been combined in the call hands on demos. Since the TU-Berlin is installing a new Wave Field Synthesis (WFS) system the call for music has been extended by a call for compositions for this system. Music that can be used for radio airplay can be submitted, and will after acceptance by the Campusradio of the TU Berlin, be played during the conference. More detailed Information can be found in the 'Call for Papers' attached to this email or on the website at: http://www.kgw.tu-berlin.de/~lac2007/ We are looking forward to many interesting submissions for the Linux Audio Conference 2007 and hope to see you in Berlin in 2007! Please feel free to forward this email to anybody who is interested. On behalf of the LAC2007 organisation team, Simon Schampijer and Marije Baalman Call for the Linux Audio Conference 2007 - 22nd - 25th of March 2007 taking place at the Technische Universit?t Berlin in cooperation with Inventionen 2007 and the Humboldt University of Berlin This call includes: Call for Papers Call for Demos Call for Hands On Demos Call for Workshops Call for Tutorials Call for Music (categories: Concert, Club, Radio and Wave Field Synthesis) ----------------------------- Call for Papers We invite submissions of papers addressing all areas of audio processing based on Linux and open source software. Papers can focus on technical, artistic or scientific issues and can target developers or users. This includes (but is not limited to) the following categories: Computer Music Music Production Instruments Drivers and Sound Architecture Audio Distributions Generic (Usage, Documentation etc.) The conference is held in English. Length of a paper is 4-8 pages. Papers have to include an abstract (50-100 words). The abstract will be published separately on the conference website once the paper has been accepted. Also, papers should include up to 5 keywords. In general talks should take 20-30 minutes followed by 5 minutes discussion. Please notify us if you need a special technical setup. The technical standard setup will be: microphone (head set) projector with XVGA input (resolution 1024x768) stereo speaker setup with mini jack input a PC with a pdf viewer How to submit File format is PDF, formatted for A4 paper. Make use of the templates for paper formatting available at: http://www.kgw.tu-berlin.de/~lac2007/download/templates-lac2007.tar.gz See our check list to ensure that you do not forget to enclose all necessary information. Send your paper and all necessary information by 8 Jan 2007 via email to this address: lac2007 AT robin.kgw.tu-berlin.de You will be notified by 05 Feb 2007 whether your paper has been accepted. The reviewers may ask you to modify your paper in order to be accepted. The deadline for the final version is March 1, 2007. Important Dates 08 Jan 2007: Paper submission deadline 05 Feb 2007: Notification of acceptance 01 Mar 2007: Final version deadline 22 - 25 March 2007: Conference ----------------------------- Call for Demos You do not need to write a whole paper, but rather a short abstract only (50-100 words). This category is mainly thought for software demos. Be aware though that in case of too many submissions papers take priority over demos... See section "Call for Papers" for info on the duration of talks and the technical setup. ----------------------------- Call for Hands On Demos A new item of the LAC 2007 is LA Pool: a pool with Linux audio computers, on which programs can be demonstrated. To give a "hands on" demo you can reserve LA Pool for 1 hour, of which ca. 20 minutes can be used as a general introduction and the rest should be free for participants to try out the program and ask questions. A Hands On demo can be held in addition to a Paper Presentation or as the presentation for the Demo, so you need to either submit a paper or an abstract as mentioned above. Additionally, you need to give us a version of your software, with clear installation instructions and requirements, so that we can install the software on the Pool before the conference. How to submit See our check list to ensure that you do not forget to enclose all necessary information. Send your abstract and all necessary information by 8 Jan 2007 via email to this address: lac2007 AT robin.kgw.tu-berlin.de Deadline for submissions is 08 Jan 2007. You will be notified by 05 Feb 2007 whether your submission has been accepted. ----------------------------- Call for Workshops With respect to their content workshops do not differ from talks: Workshops can have technical focus as well as artistic or scientific focus. Workshops can be targeted to developers as well as users. See section "Call for Papers" for more info on this. The shape of the workshop is completely up to you. E.g. it can be tutorial-like ("how to write an ALSA driver/ a jack application/ a LADSPA plugin/ etc.") or it can be BOFS-like (e.g. a meeting of like-minded users and/or developers to exchange experience and knowledge about a specific topic), or it can be anything in between. Workshops can take place in seminar rooms or in a public space like the TU Lichthof. Depending on the location, attendance might be limited to ca 10 people. We strongly encourage you to submit early. It will be more likely to get a free slot and it will be easier for attendants to know about the workshop if it is published on the conference website. If you expect the attendants to prepare their laptops for your workshop ( e.g. by installing some software) or if there are other requirements, please note so in your abstract. How to submit: See our check list to ensure that you do not forget to enclose all necessary information. Send an abstract (ca. 50-100 words) and all necessary information via email to this address: lac2007 AT robin.kgw.tu-berlin.de The abstract will be published on the conference website once the workshop has been accepted (not before 01 March 2007 though). Submission deadline is 05 Feb 2007. You will be notified by 01 March 2007 whether your submission has been accepted. ----------------------------- Call for Tutorials New in this edition of the Linux Audio Conference will be a Tutorial track for new users. This Tutorial track will be hosted by the Media Science Department of the Humboldt University of Berlin. Proposals for additions to this Tutorial program are welcome. The aim of this Tutorial track is to give new (potential) users an overview of the possibilities of Linux Audio Software and how to get started. The difference to workshops is that the tutorials are given in a lecture environment and should focus on how to make music with Linux, more than going into specifics of certain programs. The tutorial track is supported by the LA Pool facility as attendants can try out the software themselves with hands on support. Send a short description of your proposed Tutorial topic (ca. 50-100 words), via email to this address: lac2007 AT robin.kgw.tu-berlin.de Submission deadline is 08 Jan 2007. You will be notified by 05 Feb 2007 whether your submission has been accepted. Criteria will be based upon creating a full fledged Tutorial program for Linux Audio. ----------------------------- Call for Music The conference will include several concerts. We are looking for music that has been produced completely or mostly under Linux and/or with open source software: Serious compositions, Electronica, Chill-Out, Ambient etc. Indicate whether you want to have your piece played in a concert like environment or a club like environment. Additionally you can submit Radio music (see below) and Wave Field Synthesis music (see also below). Additionally you are welcome to give a talk about your piece. We encourage you especially to show how you made the piece using open source software. Please send a short abstract (ca. 50-100 words) if you want to give a talk. If you want to participate, send your composition(s) to this address: LAC2007 - Call for Music Institute of Communications Research Sekretariat EN 8 Einsteinufer 17 D-10587 Berlin Germany Make use of one of the following media formats: Media: Audio-CD, DVD, DVD-R or CD-R File formats: aiff or wav Channels: mono, stereo, multi-channel and multi-mono (8 channels is no problem, more than 8 must be discussed). Samplerate: 44.1 or 48 kHz Resolution: 16 or 24 bit Include the following items with your submission (in English): A filled-out and signed printout of the form available here: http://www.kgw.tu-berlin.de/~lac2007/download/musicagreement.pdf For the printed program and to be published online and on the conference CD, in continuous text (no table or list please): A short commentary on the composition(s) (each ca. 150 words) A short Curriculum Vitae (ca. 100 words) Deadline for submissions is 08 Jan 2007. A jury will select the compositions that will be performed/played. Furthermore, the jury will give out three prices to participants to contribute to their travel expenses. Besides artistic criteria and technical reasons, these criteria apply for the selection: Tape pieces or pieces which are performed by the composers themselves will generally have more chances to get included. If we get more pieces than we can include in the program, composers who are attending the conference are preferred. Terms and conditions for participation can be found in the form mentioned above. This form includes among other things: I will receive no fees whether my composition is played or not. GEMA fees (in case of performance) will be paid by the organizer. The material I send to the TU Berlin will not be returned. Additionally to this Call for Music, during the late night concerts there will be an open stage: "Plug & Chill - The Linux Jam Nights" where attendants of the conference are invited to perform their pieces in a more club-like context. There is no deadline for this, so people can decide during the conference if they want to participate. However if you already know that you want to participate do not hesitate to inform us. Send us an email to lac2007 AT robin.kgw.tu-berlin.de and include a description of your equipment and a short characterization of your music (keywords only). During the conference it is possible to register at the info desk. Note that there is a time limit for "Plug & Chill". If we have received too many registrations already you might not get a slot. Contributions to "Plug & Chill" should not exceed 10 min. There will be a room at the TU Berlin where people can meet during the conference and rehearse for "Plug & Chill". ----------------------------- Radio Music A new category in the Music call is the call for music that can be used for radio airplay. In cooperation with the Campusradio (http://www.campusradio-online.de ) of the TU Berlin, who will do a live report on the conference, we invite composers, musicians and producers of Music made or recorded and mastered with Open Source tools, to submit their works. If you want to participate, send an email to: lac2007-radio AT robin.kgw.tu-berlin.de with a link to your audio files. Alternately, send your music to the address above, with the addition: LAC2007 - Call for Music Radio Make use of one of the following media formats: Media: Audio-CD, DVD, DVD-R or CD-R File formats: aiff or wav or ogg Channels: mono or stereo Samplerate: 44.1 or 48 kHz Resolution: 16 or 24 bit Include the following items with your submission (in English): A filled-out and signed printout of the form available here (sent by mail, or by fax to: +49 30 31421143): http://www.kgw.tu-berlin.de/~lac2007/download/musicagreement.pdf Deadline for submissions is 05 Feb 2007. The choice of which pieces are played is in the hands of the Campusradio crew. A program listing will be on their website http://www.campusradio-online.de shortly before the conference. ----------------------------- Wave Field Synthesis Music Shortly before the conference, a new Wave Field Synthesis (WFS) system will be installed in one of the lecture halls of the TU Berlin. We are looking for composers who are interested in creating a composition for this system or who have already written pieces for WFS, which could be played on the system. The WFS system will be based on the sWONDER software ( http://swonder.sourceforge.net), and can be controlled by OSC. For more information, please contact us at lac2007 AT robin.kgw.tu-berlin.de As there is no standard format for WFS material yet, we ask for a elaborate description of the piece and some examples of previous works. To prepare the piece for performance, it will be necessary for the composer to be present a few days before the conference. We will support efforts to get funding for this from external organizations (such as DAAD). Send your material to this address: LAC2007 - Call for WFS Music Institute of Communications Research Sekretariat EN 8 Einsteinufer 17 D-10587 Berlin Germany Make use of one of the following media formats: Media: Audio-CD, DVD, DVD-R or CD-R File formats: aiff or wav Channels: mono, stereo, multi-channel and multi-mono (8 channels is no problem, more than 8 must be discussed).

OpenLab engages in the aesthetics and politics of Free Open Source Software Culture. Free Software Culture seeks to emphasise transparency of the creative process by making all stages of development available to others, enabling them to learn how the creation works and alter it for their own purposes. When this idea is applied to artistic practices, the boundaries between the artistic usage of software tools and their collaborative development become blurred. The workings of the artist's tools are exposed, and the artists are actively engaged in developing media technologies. They can modify them to suit their goals, rather than creating works by using existing tools that impose "their way of doing things" on the artwork. This group exhibition brings together interactive installations, sonic interventions, video works and animations which explore the audio-visual code of this network culture: computers start to paint pictures on their own, expose their internal circuits and "commit suicide"; birds will sing and fly around in multiple realities, the skylines of two cosmopolitan cities merge, language, meaning and time burst into fragments and recombine. The range of the combined works points to the strength of Open Source Culture ? its increasing versatility as artistic playground essential to contemporary debates and its continued importance not just in the invention of new media realities but also in tackling themes of "real" time and space. The two music events feature sound and multimedia performances of artists who use and develop open-source tools such as PD, Supercollider, Processing and Fluxus. They will perform prepared sets and code their music live in various programing languages. Musicians will also experiment with a set of live instrument swapping. By exchanging PD-Patches, they will challenge each other in an uncharted space of sonic manipulation. The performances will span from excursions into the symphonica, experimental noise and soundscapes to electronica and beat-oriented minimal techno-sets. PARTICIPATING ARTISTS: Rob Canning, Chun Lee, Claude Heiland-Allen, Carl Forsell, Sabine Gottfried, Karsten Gebbert, Paul Webb, Rob Munro, Chiharu Kaido, Evan Raskob, U-Sun, Ryan Jordan, Oli Laruelle, Robert Atwood, Luke Jordan, Rene, Monica Subrotova & Daniel Kordik, Michael Woelkner, Andy Farnell, Martin Aaserud, Ryan Jordan & Rachel Horne, Dave Griffiths & Alex McLean For more information please visit http://www.fexia.com/openlab http://openlab.pawfal.org http://www.midnightbluecollective.com or contact Sabine sabine.gottfried@gmail.com From k.s.matheussen at notam02.no Mon Oct 30 09:39:12 2006 From: k.s.matheussen at notam02.no (Kjetil S. Matheussen) Date: Tue Oct 31 19:16:33 2006 Subject: [linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Vmwaredspjack 1.3, Snd-ls 0.9.7.6 and Jack_capture V0.3.8 Message-ID: Vmwaredspjack ============= This is the vmwaredsp program, made by Petr Vandrovec, which makes vmware work with esd or arts. This version adds jack support as well. (Unfortunately, jacklaunch (which is a similar program) doesn't work with vmware, but I think Gunter is working on it... :-) .) The program isn't always working that well, but if used with care (don't trust the output too much) and proper tuning, you can use professional windows audio software in vmware using jack for audio communication. Download from http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/ Snd-ls v0.9.7.6 =============== Snd-ls is a distribution of Bill Schottstaedt's sound editor SND. Its target is people that don't know scheme very well, and don't want to spend too much time configuring Snd. It can also serve as a quick introduction to Snd and how it can be set up. Changes 0.9.7.1 -> 0.9.7.6: --------------------------- -Proper debug output in case startup fails. -Fixed bug in jack audio. -Temporary remove the fft menu because its not working with the 26.9.2006 version of Snd. Bug found by Dragan Noveski. -Check for the existence of the sndfile.h header file before compiling. If it doesn't exist, snd-ls will refuse to run. Problem reported by Krzusztof Gawlas. -Make sure snd starts up even if no file was loaded during startup. Bug found by Dragan Noveski. -Really apply the workaround for the menu problem. Download from http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/snd/ Jack_capture V0.3.8 =================== jack_capture is a small program to capture whatever sound is going out to your speakers into a file. This is the program I always wanted to have for jack, but no one made. So here it is. Changes 0.3.7 -> 0.3.8: ----------------------- *Added the --recording-time option to stop recording after a certain number of seconds. *Quitting with CTRL-C/SIGINT writes remaining buffer to disk before ending program.
