Applicants will be considered at the level of Assistant Professor. The School seeks a scholar in music technology whose interdisciplinary research spans both technical research and creative practice, transforming the ways in which we create, experience, and understand music. The candidate will be expected to teach graduate and undergraduate courses in music technology and to lead a research lab at the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology. The primary emphasis area can be drawn from any area of music technology; examples include research that addresses Virtual/Augmented Audio, Game Audio, Musical Acoustics, Computational Musicology broadly defined, or Musical Interfaces and Hardware. Candidates are expected to demonstrate an exceptional commitment to the teaching and mentoring of students. The School of Music offers B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in music technology, along with a music minor, that develop students' musical, technical, and theoretical skills. In collaboration with the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology, the School's faculty and students conduct cutting edge research in areas such as music cognition, music information retrieval, data sonification, robotic musicianship, and education. In addition, the School houses a variety of performing ensembles that attract the participation of over 800 Georgia Tech students per semester. Georgia Tech is a top-ranked public research university situated in the heart of Atlanta, a diverse and vibrant city with great economic and cultural strengths. The Institute is a member of the University System of Georgia, the Georgia Research Alliance, and the Association of American Universities.

Double Release: Patroneo v1.0 and Fluajho v1.0

by Laborejo Software Suite

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, hereby the two new programs Patroneo and Fluajho are published in version 1.0 each in the hope to enrich your musical toolbox. Patroneo (Esperanto: /Pattern/) is an easy to use pattern based midi sequencer. It is ideal for beginners or for composers who want to work under constraints to explore new creative paths. Fluajho (Esperanto: /Fluid/) is a simple sampler for sf2 soundfonts. This is a legacy file format for making MIDI signals audible through virtual instruments. There are many soundfont samplers for Linux, most of them based on Fluidsynth; Fluajho was written for a clearly defined use case: Load an .sf2 in the Non Session Manager. You can find both releases on their Github pages. Hopefully distributions will create packages soon. https://github.com/diovudau/Patroneo or https://github.com/diovudau/Patroneo/releases https://github.com/diovudau/Fluajho or https://github.com/diovudau/Fluajho/releases Manuals both in English and German are provided and accompanied by quickstart videos (which can be found in the manuals) https://www.laborejo.org/documentation/patroneo/ https://www.laborejo.org/documentation/fluajho/ Greetings, Nils for the Laborejo Software Suite https://www.laborejo.org/

spectmorph-0.4.1

by Stefan Westerfeld

spectmorph-0.4.1 has been released. Overview of Changes in spectmorph-0.4.1: ---------------------------------------- * macOS is now supported: provide VST plugin for macOS >= 10.9 * Include instruments in source tarball and packages * Install instruments to system-wide location * New Instruments: Claudia Ah / Ih / Oh (female version of human voice) * Improved tools for instrument building - support displaying tuning in sminspector - implement "smooth-tune" command for reducing vibrato from recordings - minor encoder fixes/cleanups - smlive now supports enable/disable noise * VST plugin: fix automation in Cubase (define "effCanBeAutomated") * UI: use Source A / Source B instead of Left Source / Right Source * UI: update db label properly on grid instrument selection change * Avoid exporting symbols that don't belong to the SpectMorph namespace * Fix some LV2 ttl problems * Fix locale related problems when using atof() * Minor fixes and cleanups What is SpectMorph? ------------------- SpectMorph is a free software project which allows to analyze samples of musical instruments, and to combine them (morphing). It can be used to construct hybrid sounds, for instance a sound between a trumpet and a flute; or smooth transitions, for instance a sound that starts as a trumpet and then gradually changes to a flute. SpectMorph ships with many ready-to-use instruments which can be combined using morphing. SpectMorph is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 3 Integrating SpectMorph into your Work ------------------------------------- SpectMorph is currently available for Linux and Windows users. Here is a quick overview of how you can make music using SpectMorph. - VST Plugin, especially for proprietary solutions that don't support LV2. (Available on Linux and 64-bit Windows) - LV2 Plugin, for any sequencer that supports it. - JACK Client. - BEAST Module, integrating into BEASTs modular environment. Note that at this point, we may still change the way sound synthesis works, so newer versions of SpectMorph may sound (slightly) different than the current version. Links: ------ Website: http://www.spectmorph.org Download: http://www.spectmorph.org/downloads There are many audio demos on the website, which demonstrate morphing between instruments. -- Stefan Westerfeld, Hamburg/Germany, http://space.twc.de/~stefan
