+++ AGNULA @ FOSDEM 2004
The AGNULA-IST project will be at FOSDEM [0] (Bruxelles, 21-22
February 2004) to hold a lightning talk and discuss about the project
with all interested parties.
+++
The AGNULA-IST project will be at FOSDEM (Free and Open source
Software Developers' European Meeting, 21-22 February 2004).
We will hold a lightning talk about the past, the present and the
future of the AGNULA project on Sun 22 February, from 12:45 a.m to
01:00 pm. Please notice that the actual scheduling of lightning talks
is subject to changes at the last moment - although *all* talks should
take place on Sunday morning.
Nicola Bernardini (AGNULA-IST Coordinator), Andrea Glorioso
(AGNULA-IST Technical Manager) and Damien Cirotteau (AGNULA/DeMuDi
tester and scientific advisor) will be at FOSDEM for the entire
duration of the event.
We hope to meet all interested parties - developers, documentation
writer, musicians, users, whatever you do if you have an interest in
AGNULA, in Libre Software and Audio/Video - in Bruxelles and be able
to discuss with you what's good, what's bad and what could be better
inside AGNULA.
+++
About AGNULA: Agnula (acronym for A GNU/Linux Audio distribution,
pronounced with a strong g) is the name of a project funded by the
European Commission (number of contract: IST-2001-34879; key action
IV.3.3, Free Software: towards the critical mass). The project aims
to spread Free Software in the professional audio/video arena.
About FOSDEM: the Free and Open Source Software Developers' European
Meeting is a 2 days event, organized by volunteers, to promote the
widespread use of Free and Open Source software. Taking place in the
beautiful city of Brussels, Belgium FOSDEM meetings are recognised as
the best Free and Open Source events in Europe.

Call for Papers
2nd International Symposium on Computer Music Modeling and Retrieval
CMMR 2004
Esbjerg, Denmark, May 26-29, 2004
http://www.cs.aue.auc.dk/cmmr2004

BACKGROUND
The use of computers in music is well established. CMMR 2004 provides
an opportunity to meet and interact with peers concerned with the
cross-influence of the technological and creative in computer music.
The field of computer music is interdisciplinary by nature and closely
related to a number of computer science and engineering areas such as
information retrieval, programming, human computer interaction,
digital libraries, hypermedia, artificial intelligence, acoustics,
signal processing, etc.
CMMR 2004 invites researchers, educators, composers, performers, and
others with an interest in important aspects of computer music
(including modeling, retrieval, analysis, and synthesis) to come join
us for a unique event.
TOPICS
Original contributions on the following (and other relevant) topics
are encouraged:
infrastructures for music
- music digital libraries modeling
- representation and language modeling
- distributed system infrastructures
indexing and retrieval of music
- metadata
- standards
- protocols
- query languages
- advanced information retrieval
structuring of music data
- hypermedia
- structural computing
collaboration on music
- computer supported cooperative work
analysis, recognition, comparison, classification, and modeling of music
- pattern recognition
- signal processing
- algoritmics
- parsing
mining and visualizing music
- data mining
- visualization
synthesis (composition) of music
- models for synthesis
- automated composition
user interfaces for music
- human computer interaction
FORMAT
The symposium will be structured in a traditional manner with paper
presentations. However, there will also be scheduled time for
presentation of computer musical compositions.
SUBMISSIONS
Submissions may have any of the following forms:
Full paper (7 - 10 pages)
Short paper (3 - 5 pages)
Computer musical compositions
All papers will be reviewed by the program committee and accepted
papers will be published after the symposium as post-event proceedings
in the Springer Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)
Series.
IMPORTANT DATES
Full papers due March 1, 2004
Short papers due March 1, 2004
Musical pieces due March 1, 2004
Acceptance notification April 1, 2004

liblrdf is a lightweight RDF metadata handling library with extensions for
manipulating LADSPA Schema-specific data.
http://plugin.org.uk/lrdf/
This version adds:
* MacOSX compatibility, courtesy of Taybin Rutkin
* A convienient method for reading control scale points
* A convienient method for writing preset information
An example showing how to use the two new methods can be found in
examples/scale_test.c and examples/setting_test.c
Scales are a way of mapping the semantics of port values to labels, eg.
that an oscilator wave control has known behaviours for 0, 1 and 2 mapping
to "sine", "square" and "saw".
An RDF scale description of his plugins is included with Tom's Audio
Plugins (http://www.hszk.bme.hu/~st444/tap/tap.html) and an RDF
description of the scales for mine is on the website
(http://plugin.org.uk/src/metadata/swh-scales.rdf, you can install it in
/usr/local/(share/)ladspa/rdf/) and will be included in the next release.

Hi all,
TAP (Tom's Audio Plugins) 0.1-0 is released.
Currently four LADSPA plugins are available.
You can check them out at:
http://www.hszk.bme.hu/~st444/tap/tap.html
Key features:
* TAP Equalizer
8 channel equalizer with adjustable band center
frequencies.
* TAP Reverberator
Actually no less than 38 reverberator effects,
ranging from Afterburn to Warehouse, including
small/medium/large rooms, halls, plates...
and more!
* TAP Stereo Echo
Supports conventional mono and stereo delays,
ping-pong (cross) delays and the Haas effect.
* TAP Tremolo
The newest incarnation of an ancient effect.
The plugins have been developed and tested
primarily with Ardour as a host in mind, but
should be functional with any LADSPA-capable
host.
A thorough manual is provided in HTML format,
including detailed information, CPU usage metrics,
usage tips & more about each plugin.
Enjoy!
Tom Szilagyi
This is the first release of a voice controlled, resonator based instrument
for the jack-audio-connection-kit. Playing it the first time it reminded me
to the sound and playing technique of a didgeridoo. Thats the reason for its
name.
Requirements:
- A microphone with near fields characteristics for instrument control.
- A headphone to avoid feedback.
- The jack-audio-connection-kit.
- A i586 compatible system running Linux.
Its available at http://www.linux-sound.org/rtsynth/
Your feedback is welcome.
- Stefan
