[LAU] Made with Linux

[Stéphane Magnenat]

Hello everybody,

Here are two music pieces that I have composed using Linux:
- Variations d'Automne
	http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/26105
- To Hope
	http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/30718
The lossless FLACs are available on my homepage:

I've used the following programs:
- Jack
- Rosegarden
- Ardour
- LADSPA + various plugins
- Lilypond

In addition, for To Hope, I have recorded each singer separately, and then 
adjusted the pitches using a custom-made Qt4 GUI over Praat 
(http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/). Thanks to this trick, singing is in-tune 
in To Hope, event though the piece was difficult to sing and the singers were 
amateurs. To ensure temporal synchronisation, singers were listening to their 
voices in a headphone while singing. However, I still had to adjust 
synchronisation a lot using Ardour. If anyone is interested in the Qt4 GUI 
over Praat, I'll be happy to release it as open source, but be warned that it 
is currently very custom-tailored to my need, not particularly clean, and not 
commented.

Kind Regards. Have a nice day,

Stéphane
