[linux-audio-announce] Reminder: Piksel05 - Call for entries

by 220hex

+++ only 3 days left... +++ ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| -- Piksel05 - october 16-23. 2005 -- call for participation -- deadline 15. august 2005 ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Piksel[1] is an annual event for artists and developers working with open source audiovisual software tools. Part workshop, part festival, it is organised in Bergen, Norway, by the Bergen Centre for Electronic Arts (BEK) [2] and involves participants from more than a dozen countries exchanging ideas, coding, presenting art and software projects, doing workshops, performances and discussions on the aesthetics and politics of open source. Piksel05 will take place in Bergen october 16. - 23. 2005. The development, and therefore use, of digital technology today is mainly controlled by multinational corporations. Despite the prospects of technology expanding the means of artistic expression, the commercial demands of the software industries severely limit them instead. Piksel is focusing on the open source movement as a strategy for regaining artistic control of the technology, but also a means to bring attention to the close connections between art, politics, technology and economy. One of the results of the past Piksel events is the initiation of the Piksel Video Framework for 'interoperability between various free software applications dealing with video manipulation techniques'[3]. Piksel05 will also feature the release of the Piksel LiveCD[4], a Linux distribution containing the software used and developed at Piksel. The package contains a suite of innovative audiovisual and artistic software, free video plugins, and documentation from the past Piksel events. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| open CALL for PARTICIPATION The last two Piksel events has focused on live art/audiovisual performance, but for Piksel05 the main focus will be an exhibition in collaboration with Hordaland Kunstsenter[5]. For the exhibition and other parts of the program we are interested in submissions in the following categories: 1. Installations and interactive work Audiovisual installations created and run solely using open source software. The theme for the exhibition will be loosely related to 'games' and the gaming experience. 2. Audiovisual performance Live art realised by the use of open source software. 3. Software Innovative artistic tools or software art released under an open licence. Please send documentation material - preferably as a URL to online documentation with images/video to piksel05(a)bek.no Deadline - august 15. 2005 Use this form for submitting (or go to the online form at http://www.piksel.no/piksel05/subform.html): |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 1.

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] liboscqs 0.0.3 - An OSC Query System

by Martin Habets

liboscqs is a library to provide a Query System and Service Discovery for applications using the Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol [1]. The initial proposal for the OSC Query System was provided by Andrew W. Schmeder and Matthew Wright in July 2004 [2]. The next paragraph has their abstract: A Query System is proposed for inter-application control scenarios. The queries enable namespace exploration, documentation, type-signature, return-type-signature and parameter constraint specification, current-value polling, identification of common interpretation maps via osc-schema, and error reporting. See [2] for the full paper describing their proposal. This project is the result [3] of the various discussions that followed, but remains very close to the original proposal. Besides a Query System, this library provides Service Discovery. This allows applications to annouce their presence locally and on a whole computer network. For more information, source tarballs, RPM packages, and Debian packages please see the homepage at: http://liboscqs.sourceforge.net/ - Martin Factfile: - liboscqs uses liblo [4] as an OSC server. Thanks Steve! - The liboscqs source uses the scons [5] build tool - liboscqs supports Service Discovery using either Howl or Spread - liboscqs has only tested on Linux so far, but the intent is to support all POSIX systems. - liboscqs is FSH 2.3 compliant.

[linux-audio-announce] Rivendell Radio Automation System

by Fred Gleason

Salem Radio Labs is pleased to announce the release of v0.9.48 of Rivendell, available at: http://www.salemradiolabs.com/rivendell/ Rivendell is a full-featured, copylefted broadcast automation system targeted for use in professional radio broadcast environments. It includes tools for acquisition, management and playout of audio content. >From Rivendell's 'NEWS' file: *** snip snip *** Changes: Upload Events in RDCatch. It's now possible to schedule the automatic export and upload of audio files in RDCatch. The following upload protocols are supported: FILE FTP SMB Database Support Cleanups. Added directives to rd.conf(5) to make it possible for Rivendell to work with RDBMS back-ends other than mySQL. This feature has not been at all well tested as of yet. Import Filter for AirForce 'Wings' System. The filter can be used to import the entire audio archive of an AirForce 'Wings' system *in situ*, without requiring reencoding of audio and while preserving much of the library meta-data from the original system. See the 'WINGS_FILTER.txt' file in the documentation directory for more information. New Switcher Device Support. Added support for the BroadcastTools SS16.4 switcher. MPEG Cleanups. Many bugfixes regarding the use and handling of MPEG audio. RDLogEdit Fixes. Fixed all known outstanding issues with RDLogEdit. Miscellaneous Bugfixes. See the ChangeLog for details. Library Versions: This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.93.2 and librhpi-94.1 be installed. If installing from RPM, the version of the currently installed libraries can be determined by doing: rpm -q libradio rpm -q librhpi Database Update: As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied. *** snip snip *** Cheers! |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] JAPA Jack/Alsa Perceptual Analyser

by fons adriaensen

The first (alpha) release of JAPA is now available at <http://users.skynet.be/solaris/linuxaudio> >From the README: JAPA is a 'perceptual' or 'psychoacoustic' audio spectrum analyser. This means that the filters that are used to analyse the spectrum have bandwidths that are neither constant (as in JAAA), nor proportional to the center frequency (as in a 1/3 octave band analyser), but tuned to human perception. With the default settings, JAPA uses a filter set that closely follows the Bark scale. In contrast to JAAA, this is more an acoustical or musical tool than a purely technical one. Possible uses include spectrum monitoring while mixing or mastering, evaluation of ambient noise, and (using pink noise), equalisation of PA systems. JAPA allows you to measure two inputs at the same time, compare them, store them to memory and compare them to stored traces. It offers a number of resolutions, speeds, and various display options. The dual inputs and memories will find their way into future JAAA versions as well. This is a source release. You will also need libclalsadrv, libclthreads (from the same place), and libfftw3f. Enjoy ! -- FA
