<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>> **Piksel08: code dreams december 4-7 2008 Bergen, Norway How does code dream? What are the dreams of code? Piksel08 examines the other side of code, an alternative side to a hard-coded reality of work and play. Open hardware and free software project a utopic vision, yet exist within economies of capital, the dream factory of mainstream technology. Within the chance meeting of sewing machine and umbrella on the dissecting table, hardware and software are flattened. Piksel08: code dreams explores the dreams of this soft machine; bachelors coding for pleasure, reverse engineering paranoiac constructs of the real, automatic coding practice, soft hardware, and everyday magic. <<<<<<<<>>>>>>>> **open call: 1. Installations Projects related to the code dreams theme including but not restricted to: reverse engineering, soft hardware, code poetry, novel instruction sets, invisible exploration, ghosted computation... programmed by and running on free and open source software and/or open/DIY hardware. 2. Audiovisual performance Live art realised by the use of free and open source software. We specially encourage live coding and DIY hardware projects to apply. 3. Software/Hardware Innovative DIY hardware and audiovisual software tools or software art released under an open licence. <<<<<< Deadline - august 15. 2008 >>>>>> Please use the online submit form at: http://piksel.no/piksel08/subform.html or send documentation material - preferably as a URL to online documentation with images/video to piksel08 [AT] piksel [DOT] no <<<<<<<<>>>>>>>> **subsections: **real code real.co.[de][re] actively explores code which has strong effects on the real, constructing the world through prediction and description. The twelve hour real.co.[de][re] session will attempt the active construction of a working code model (of any form) which addresses a flattening of the distinction between software and hardware, to resolve a new political reference for real core code. **abstract code Abstract code is software whose results can be invisible, a software implementing different layers of action at the same time. Abstract code is a connection to parallel worlds, a poetic formula dealing with outer forces. Code is art, its action is subtile, effective, magic. procedural text maledictions, oracles, iambi, hymn, formula, refrains, hypnotic sentences, prayers, and other. <<<<<<<<>>>>>>>> Piksel is supported by the Municipality of Bergen, Arts Council Norway, Vestnorsk Filmsenter, Hordaland County Council and others.

Sources of Paul "mda" Kellett's plugins have been released

by Frank Neumann

Hi list, not sure if this was mentioned here before (I hardly find the time to read the LA* lists regularly these days), but someone from IRC let me know that the VST/VSTi plugin suite by Paul Kellett has been released by its author as source, see here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=230958 I don't have a Windows-based audio system so I cannot judge about the quality of his plugins, but I am pretty confident (from what I know and read about his work) that these could be pretty fine, perhaps an interesting alternative or addendum to, say, the swh-plugins. Should be a cornucopia for interested LADSPA/LV2 porters, anyway :-). As it seems, there is already a binary of a ported package at http://linux-vst.com/download/mda_linux.tar.gz No idea who managed to convince Paul to do this, but big thanks to both of you for arranging this! This should be a quite valuable resource, for DSP coders and finally also for users. Regards, Frank

[ANN] libsmf-1.1

by Edward Tomasz Napierala

Version 1.1 of libsmf can be downloaded from: http://pin.if.uz.zgora.pl/~trasz/libsmf/libsmf-1.1.tar.gz Libsmf is a library for loading and writing Standard MIDI Files, i.e. files with the ".mid" extension. The only dependancy is glib. It was tested under Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris. Please note that, by default, libsmf is built with lots of asserts, which make it slower; for example, inside smf_save, there is some code that loads the newly saved file and compares it with what it was supposed to save. If some operation takes noticeable amount of time, try to recompile libsmf with -DNDEBUG to disable asserts. http://pin.if.uz.zgora.pl/~trasz/libsmf/ API documentation is here: http://pin.if.uz.zgora.pl/~trasz/libsmf/doc/ -- If you cut off my head, what would I say? Me and my head, or me and my body?

FOMS2009 Call for Participation

by Conrad Parker

Call for Participation ================ Foundations of Open Media Software (FOMS) Developer Workshop Thursday 15 - Friday 16 January 2009 Hobart (Tasmania), Australia http://www.annodex.org/events/foms2009/ Important Dates: Submissions open: 11th June 2008 Submissions close: 15th August 2008 Notification: 30th September 2008 What is FOMS: Foundations of Open Media Software (FOMS) is a developer workshop to widen cooperation and interoperability among open source media projects. Meet and discuss your plans for the next 12 months and forge relationships with other developers to unwind the kinks, making open media kick ever more ass. This is a call for participation in the third FOMS meeting, which will be held in Hobart, Australia over two days in January leading up to linux.conf.au 2009. The FOMS meeting is organised by developers for developers. FOMS caters for developers with topics of interest in and related to: * open audio & video codecs * open audio & media frameworks * audio infrastructure * web video (HTML5 audio/video) and crossover with open source * mobile video * open audio & video applications * open metadata * open media standards The proximity to linux.conf.au allows us also to discuss audio- and video-related issues with the developers of Open Source kernel, networking and desktop systems. How to attend / submit: FOMS attendees will be developers of open media software from the community as well as professional delegates from companies with a background and interest in this space. The attendance fee for professional delegates is A$420 - community participation is free. Attendees are expected to have a background in open media software. If you would like to attend, please contact foms-committee(at)lists.annodex.net and tell us why you should be there. Also mention if you require travel assistance. Coincident Conferences: Since FOMS2009 is happening the week before linux.conf.au, in the same city, you may want to consider submitting a proposal for that conference as well. Travel Funding: FOMS highly values it's developer attendees. FOMS has provided a limited number of sponsorships for travel funding for the best developers since it's beginning. Further travel sponsorship can be achieved by being an accepted speaker to linux.conf.au. The Linux Foundation also has travel sponsorships to important events like FOMS and LCA.

64 Studio 2.1 'A Minha Menina' released!

by Daniel James

64 Studio is a GNU/Linux distribution tailor-made for digital content creation, including audio, video, graphics and publishing tools. A remix of Debian 4.0 'Etch', it comes in both AMD64/Intel64 and 32-bit flavours, to run on nearly all PC hardware. We aim to combine the stability and quality of Etch with a specialised real-time preemption kernel and the latest creative tools demanded by multimedia artists. Our tweaks to Debian include simplified installation and default settings which help get production started quickly. Version 2.1 is the first update to the second stable release of 64 Studio. It is named after a song by Jorge Ben, recorded by Os Mutantes and covered by The Bees. New versions of applications such as Ardour and Rosegarden are the main reason to upgrade, plus general bugfixes and updates from Etch. It's not meant to be a bleeding edge release; it only contains necessary changes. Some distros aim to give you the latest of everything, but we prefer our stable branch to concentrate on long-term usability. In that respect, it's similar to Debian stable or Ubuntu LTS. It's a recommended upgrade for all 64 Studio users, without fear of system breakage. Upgrades from previous 64 Studio releases ----------------------------------------- Full upgrade instructions for the command line or Synaptic are available at: http://www.64studio.com/upgrade A new apt mirror for the stable branch is now available at: deb http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/64studio.com/apt/ 64studio main Thanks to the Computer Science department at the University of Kent in the UK - you guys rock, and roll :-) New 64 Studio installations --------------------------- DVD-R image mirrors are listed here: http://www.64studio.com/download Checking the integrity of your download with md5sum is strongly recommended. Release notes are available in Czech, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish - thanks again to all our translators! For users without a DVD burner, images for the 64 Studio 2.0 Live CD are still available from our download mirrors. We also recommend the live CD for users who want to check out 64 Studio without installing. Contact the 64 Studio project ----------------------------- For more details, to join our mailing lists and forums, or to post bug reports, please visit: http://www.64studio.com/ We hope you enjoy being creative with free software!

QjackCtl 0.3.3 (unstable-qt4) released!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Howdy! I am pleased to announce this new and long due release of QjackCtl, the Qt GUI for the awesome JACK Audio Connection Kit. Release highlights are mainly about final JACK-MIDI support for the "evil" Patchbay, new Messages file logging and the most intriguing application window instance uniqueness which will make X11 desktop life easier for everyone (ie. no more duplicates as JACK server gets auto-started as candy bonus:) You can grab it from the project source as usual: http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/projects/qjackctl In case you need an upstream hug, you're free to visit my own forum: http://www.rncbc.org The change-log doesn't say much but... here it goes: - Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks). - Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance, with user configurable settings in Setup/Options/Logging. - Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its main widget shown up and the server started automatically (Qt/X11 platform only). - Finally, full JACK MIDI support sneaks into the patchbay; socket types now differ in Audio, MIDI and ALSA, following the very same nomenclature as found on the Connections widget tabs. - Sun driver support (by Jacob Meuser). - Delay window positioning at startup option is now being disabled, on the Setup/Misc tab, when Minimize to system tray is enabled. - Cosmetic fix: Setup/Settings tab, 'Input Device' text label was using a slightly smaller font than the rest of the application (bug#1872545, reported by Jouni Rinne). Cheers && Enjoy -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc(a)rncbc.org
