Survey and workshop on NIME archiving -- Call for Participation

by Ico Bukvic

Please pardon the cross-posting. My COMPEL project collaborators and I would appreciate it if you would please distribute this email widely among various communities whose work is rooted in computer music, starting with composers, performers, and instrument and installation designers. Dear all, As part of the preparations for the Workshop on NIME Archiving <https://nime.pubpub.org/pub/oyi0po4b> to be held on 28 June, we look for volunteers to fill out one or more records of *artifact*s (defined broadly) in this survey: *https://forms.gle/A8zNrFVxs9N4aBcp9 <https://forms.gle/A8zNrFVxs9N4aBcp9>* The idea is to check whether categories developed for the COMPEL archive make sense from the community's perspective. We ask that you please consider filling out the survey *before 24 June* so that we have a couple of days to look at results before the workshop. Feel free to make entries also if you cannot make it to the workshop! Given that this effort may benefit the broader computer music community, please note that *both the survey and the workshop are open to any person who is interested in participating*, regardless whether they are registered for the conference. Since this year NIME is an online-only conference, *the zoom link will be forthcoming and will be shared with all survey contributors and conference participants soon*. The workshop will continue discussions in the community on how to best preserve information from the NIME conferences, the NIME community, and the computer music community at large. The workshop will follow up on threads from the NIME publication ecosystem workshop <https://nime2020.bcu.ac.uk/nime-publication-ecosystem-workshop/> (NIME 2020, Birmingham), ICMC 2018 paper <https://dblp.org/rec/conf/icmc/BukvicO18.html>, SEAMUS 2018 conference presentation, and the NIMEhub workshop <https://www.duo.uio.no/handle/10852/50604> (NIME 2016, Brisbane). As we rebuild the COMPEL platform to sidestep technological limitations of the old infrastructure, the main task is to find a solution for an open, future-oriented, engaging, and institutionally recognized archiving solution for the activities of the community that ensures *reproducibility *of archived artifacts. While NIME publications are archived according to the FAIR principles <https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/>, currently no solutions exist for archiving information about instruments/interfaces and other hardware/software-based artifacts produced in the community. Neither do we have a system for describing and preserving compositions/pieces, installations, performances, and workshops. We believe that this challenge affects the computer music community at large. The goal of this workshop and forum discussions <https://forum.nime.org/t/survey-and-workshop-on-nime-archiving/306> is to propel the project forward and expand the community engagement. Thank you for your consideration and participation. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact one of the workshop organizers <https://nime.pubpub.org/pub/oyi0po4b>. Best, Ico -- Ivica Ico Bukvic, D.M.A. Director, Creativity + Innovation Director, Human-Centered Design iPhD Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology Virginia Tech Creative Technologies in Music School of Performing Arts – 0141 Blacksburg, VA 24061 (540) 231-6139 ico(a)vt.edu ci.icat.vt.edu l2ork.icat.vt.edu ico.bukvic.net

ICAD 2022 Registration is Open <https://reg.pwd.aa.ufl.edu/portal/events/reg/participantTypeSelection.do?me…> 27th International Conference on Auditory Display Registration is Open <https://reg.pwd.aa.ufl.edu/portal/events/reg/participantTypeSelection.do?me…> Virtual Conference 24-27 June 2022 https://icad2022.icad.org THEME: SAFE AND SOUND Sound is used in a wide variety of applications to alert listeners to the status of a person or environment. At ICAD 2022, we want to highlight sonification work that can be used to maintain awareness in some capacity (outside navigation, hospitals, air traffic control, etc). Papers are not limited to this theme, as we will value and embrace all types of submissions, including papers, posters, multimedia (videos/audios), demos, and concert pieces Why ICAD 2022? ICAD is a highly interdisciplinary academic conference with relevance to researchers, practitioners, musicians, and students interested in the design of sounds to support tasks, improve performance, guide decisions, augment awareness, and enhance experiences. The conference is unique in its singular focus on auditory displays and the array of perception, technology, and application areas that this research area encompasses. Like its predecessors, ICAD 2022 will be a single-track conference, open to all, with no membership or affiliation requirements.

Hi all, I am happy to announce that Orastron (https://www.orastron.com/), the company of which I am founder and CEO, has released a new and experimental audio DSP programming language called Ciaramella and its source-to-source compiler called Zampogna under the ISC license. You can check out the official website (https://ciaramella.dev/) - which also contains a web playground for trying it out directly in the browser - and read about its history and motivation here: https://www.orastron.com/blog/ciaramella-smc. The compiler source code is available at https://github.com/paolomarrone/Zampogna. We'll also present a scientific paper that describes it in the detail on Friday 10th June 2022 at the Sound and Music Computing conference in Saint-Etienne, France (https://smc22.grame.fr/). Best regards, Stefano

Drumstick Multiplatform MIDI File Player 1.6.0 Released

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

Drumstick (https://drumstick.sourceforge.io/docs/index.html) is a set of GPLv3 licensed C++/Qt libraries for MIDI applications. The project includes several tools as examples, and among them is the drumstick-guiplayer utility that leverages the Drumstick::ALSA library, so it is available only for Linux (because the ALSA sequencer is a linux only technology). Some people have requested a program with the same functionalities also on Windows and macOS, so here it is. But this project is much more ... Some key features: * MIDI Output to hardware MIDI ports, or any other Drumstick backends, like soft synths * Transpose song tonality between -12 and +12 semitones * Change MIDI volume level (using MIDI CC7) * Scale song speed between half and double tempo * Supports MID/KAR/RMI (Standard MIDI Files) and WRK (Cakewalk) file formats This release is dedicated to the Galician Literature Day (May 17th). Changes in v1.6.0: * Czech translation updated. Thanks to Pavel Fric. * New Galician translation and help page. * New Galician song: Negra Sombra. * New temporary Splash screen for Galician language users. * Frameless CSD tool windows (channels, player piano, lyrics, help). * Better compatibility with Qt6. * Fixed the wrong icon shown in KDE+Wayland. * Load translations earlier, for command line options. * Avoid trying to load translations for English. * Requires: drumstick-2.6. Build requirements: * C++11 compiler * Qt5 >= 5.15 or Qt6 >= 6.2 * Drumstick libraries v2.6 * Uchardet v0.0.7 * CMake 3.14 * Pandoc (when BUILD_DOCS=on) Copyright (C) 2021-2022 Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas License: GPL v3 or later Project and Source Repositories https://sourceforge.net/p/dmidiplayer https://github.com/pedrolcl/dmidiplayer Downloads https://sourceforge.net/projects/dmidiplayer/files/v1.6.0/ https://flathub.org/apps/details/net.sourceforge.dmidiplayer
