Dear Friends and fellow L2Ork and Pd enthusiasts,
I would greatly appreciate it if you would please distribute the following announcement.
The spring is in the air, which means it is time for the spring DISIS (http://disis.music.vt.edu) and L2Ork (http://l2ork.music.vt.edu) events. To start the season right, this past Friday L2Ork had a sneak preview performance at Roanoke College. More so, this coming weekend we are having a truly special series of events with the return of the Boys & Girls Club laptop orchestra whom we've been working with this semester. In addition, the spring DISIS event will also include guest artists and scholars Ron Coulter, Brad Garton, Peter Kirn, and Dave Phillips. The upcoming events include:
Thursday April 7 @ 3:30-4:45pm in DISIS presentation by Brad Garton
Friday 10am-1pm lectures in the Arts Armory by Brad Garton, Peter Kirn, and Dave Phillips (free admission)
Friday April 8 @ 7pm in Dumas Center (Roanoke, VA) children's concert featuring Boys & Girls Club laptop orchestra and L2Ork
Saturday April 9 @ 7pm in Squires Recital Salon children's benefit concert (an Arts Fusion event) featuring Boys & Girls Club laptop orchestra and L2Ork followed by a hands-on laptop orchestra demo session for kids and families ($5 general, $3 children/students/seniors, with all proceeds benefiting Boys & Girls Club)
Saturday April 9 @ 8pm in Squires Recital Salon benefit concert (an Arts Fusion event) featuring Ron Coulter, Brad Garton, Peter Kirn, Dave Phillips, and L2Ork ($5 general, $3 children/students/seniors, with all proceeds benefiting Boys & Girls Club)
This year we've also partnered up with the Virginia Tech Kids' Tech University program to expand our outreach to young audiences.

Audio-graphic Modeling and Interaction
Workshop @ NIME 2011, Oslo, Norway
Sunday, May 29: 1PM-4PM.
This workshop focuses on recent advances and future prospects in
audio-graphic scenes modeling and rendering. The convergence of
the audio and graphic communities is fostered by the increase in
computational resources, by cognitive studies on cross-modal
perception, and by the industrial needs for realistic audio scenes.
Audio-graphic research is spreading in areas such as games,
architecture, urbanism, information visualization, or interactive
artistic digital media. We will focus on the representation, the
interaction, the rendering, and the perception of scenes in which
the audio and graphical components are clearly identified and
combined (in contrast to standard multimedia video streams).
Accepted abstracts will invited to submit an extended version
to a special issue of the Springer Journal on Multimodal User
Interfaces (JMUI)
Detailed information about the workshop can be found here:

Topics in detail
----------------
Beyond the question traditionally addressed in multimedia,
the workshop will cover recent advances in audio-graphic
scene modeling such as:
* - joint representation of sound and graphic spaces and objects,
* - rendering optimization for audio-graphic scenes: level of details,
o . occlusion,
o . masking,
o . beam and ray tracing,
o . shadowing,
o . space subdivision,
o . collisions...
* - audio-graphic interface design,
* - audio-graphic for virtual humans:
o . audio-visual speech,
o . cloth animation and sound rendering,
o . steps,
o . paralinguistic communication...
* - sound and graphic spatialization,
* - audio-graphic object rendering, and physically and geometrically driven
sound rendering,
* - cross- and bi-modal perceptual evaluations,
* - audio-graphic information visualization:
o . distortion,
o . zooming and panning,
o . filtering,
o . immersive rendering,
o . visual data sonification,
o . interaction devices...
* - interactive audio-graphic arts,
* - industrial audio-graphic data:
o . architectural acoustics,
o . sound maps,
o . urban soundscapes...
* - platforms and tools for audio-graphic scene modeling and rendering,
These areas are interdisciplinary in nature and inter-related.
New advancements in each area will benefit the others. This workshop
should attract young and senior researchers, artists, and corporates
in the related fields together to exchange the latest developments
and to point out current challenges and new directions.

It is :)
For completeness (and to close a 3yrs old ToDo item); i've just added
jack-stdin; fixed a few typos on the way, and added 8+32 bit integer
support. I've re-named the project to JACK-stdio.
JACK-stdio version 1.1 is out!
http://rg42.org/oss/jackstdio/git://rg42.org/jack-stdout
If you ever felt like you need to use 'sox' as effect-rack for JACK,
here's your chance:
jack-stdout system:capture_1 system:capture_2 \
| sox -t raw -r 48k -e signed -b 16 -c 2 - \
-t raw -r 48k -e signed -b 16 -c 2 - \
tremolo 5 100 \
| jack-stdin system:playback_1 system:playback_2
have fun,
robin

Announcing the _*Linux Audio Musicians Best of 2010 mix*_
Download and view the full playlist of 116 tracks here:
http://djcj.org/audio/lam/
Listen to the continuous radio stream here:
http://radio.linuxaudio.org/lam2010.ogg.m3u
****************************************************************************
Congratulations!!! to the Artists and Bands that made 2010 a bumper year
for well produced and unique music from the Linux Audio Community. This
mix is the biggest yet with over 100 tracks included and over 12 hours
of music to listen to. A hefty selection of guitar music and rock
productions are included in this years mix to complement the large range
of electronica. The variation of styles and genres is superb and as
expected there was lots of off the wall and challenging music produced
during the 2010 period also.
The playlist has been ordered in terms of Genre/Style to make it easier
to separate the tracks out for those with specific tastes and to ensure
the radio stream flows nicely.
If you feel that there is a track missing please feel free to contact me
with details. This is a snapshot of the year so lets make it as complete
as possible.
Enjoy!

Hya,
I've just brought jack-stdout up to scratch.
jack-stdout captures audio from one or more JACK audio-ports and writes
raw data to standard-output.
It can write signed/unsigned 16/24bit integer and 32bit floating-point
data, both big/little endian.
* http://rg42.org/oss/jackstdout/
* git://rg42.org/jack-stdout
example usage - live stream from JACK:
jack-stdout system:capture_1 system:capture_2 \
| oggenc -r -R 48000 -B 16 -C 2 - \
| tee /tmp/recording.ogg \
| oggfwd -p -n "my live stream" localhost 5900 hackme live.ogg
have fun,
robin
In this release:
* Fixes and improvements that improve interoperability with these
plugins:
* The Composite Sampler
* EQ10Q
* Calf
* Support the new dynamic manifest extension and thus NASPRO 0.2.90
* It is now possible to supply on commandline a regular expression
instead of URI. The regexp must match only one URI.
* Plugin GUI windows now have WM_WINDOW_ROLE set to "plugin_ui" (for
WM kludges etc)
* Various improvements in lv2 turtle rdf parsing
* A commandline parsing bug that prevented use of state file is fixed
* Better reporting and handling of ttl syntax errors
* The plugin scanner got some speed an memory optimizations
* It is now possible to build and use zynjacku on MacOSX
* Windows of the generic GUIs are now smaller when the plugin is not
dynparam one
* The Author column is now named Maintainer to better match
doap:maintainer semantics
* Change installation layout to better suit Debian and hopefully
other distros as well
* In single plugin mode, exit if UI show failed
* Properly handle scan when there are no lv2 plugins installed (patch
by Orcan Ogetbil)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551480
* Fix syntax error exception. #15558
* When rack was being cleared, some plugin UI windows were not being
closed. This bug was fixed.
zynjacku is JACK based, GTK (2.x) host for LV2 synths. It has one JACK
MIDI input port (routed to all hosted synths) and one (two for stereo
synths) JACK audio output port per plugin. Such design provides
multi-timbral sound by running several synth plugins.
zynjacku is a nunchaku weapon for JACK audio synthesis. You have solid
parts for synthesis itself and you have flexible part that allows
synthesis to suit your needs.
lv2rack is a host for LV2 effect plugins.

The C* Audio Plugin Suite reaches version 0.4.5.
http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.htmlhttp://quitte.de/dsp/caps_0.4.5.tar.gz
CAPS is a collection of refined LADSPA units covering a wide range of
applications, from stompbox classics to experimental oscillators.
CAPS is distributed as open source under the terms of the GNU Public
License.
-*-
This release brings a new plugin, "Narrower", which reduces the
perceived width of a stereophonic image. Frequent users of headphones
will appreciate the increased subtlety of the listening experience as
well as the reduced fatigue caused by "superstereo" recordings.
Other than that, some minor bugs have been fixed and the accompanying
PDF data sheet has been improved (frequency response plots now use log
scale: http://quitte.de/dsp/caps-0.4.5.pdf ).
The build configuration tool "configure.py" has been modified to
handle python3's errant ways in graceful manner.
Upgrading is recommended unless you have no need for the new plugin
and the current version is working fine for you.
-*-
Enjoy, and thank you for using CAPS,
Tim
Hi all,
I'm glad to announce the release of NASPRO 0.2.90.
NASPRO (http://naspro.atheme.org/) is meant to be a cross-platform
sound processing software architecture built around the LV2 plugin
standard (http://lv2plug.in/).
The goal of the project is to develop a series of tools to make it
easy and convenient to use LV2 for sound processing on any (relevant)
platform and for everybody: end users, host developers, plugin
developers, distributors and scientists/researchers.
This release is a total redesign/rewrite that more or less
reimplements the features of the previous release, but in a much
cleaner and maintainable way.
It includes:
* NASPRO core: the portable runtime library at the bottom of the architecture;
* NASPRO Bridge it: a little helper library to develop
insert-your-API-here to LV2 bridges;
* NASPRO bridges: a collection of bridges to LV2 which, once
installed, allow you to use plugins developed for other plugin
standards in LV2 hosts.
In particular, the NASPRO bridges collection includes two bridges: a
LADSPA (http://www.ladspa.org/) 1.1 and a DSSI
(http://dssi.sourceforge.net/) 1.0.0/1.1.0 bridge.
All of the code is released under the LGPL 2.1
(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-2.1.html) license.
More information is available on the project's website.
Enjoy!
Stefano D'Angelo
