*ICAD 2018*
The 24th International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD 2018)
Michigan Technological University, Houghton, MI, USA, June 10-15, 2018
CALL FOR PAPERS, EXTENDED ABSTRACTS, WORKSHOPS/TUTORIALS, SONIFICATIONS,
INSTALLATIONS, AND DEMONSTRATIONS
Please check the conference website for updates: *http://icad2018.icad.org/
<http://icad2018.icad.org/>*
*Theme: Sonification as ADSR*
Auditory researchers are familiar with “ADSR” (Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release),
which are …
[View More]basic components of sound. In ICAD 2018, we want to (1) not only
go back to the basics but also (2) explore and integrate various potentials
of auditory displays and sonification as Art-Design-Science-Research
(ADSR). Under this conference theme, we will value and embrace all types of
submissions, including papers, extended abstracts, multimedia
(videos/audios), concert pieces, demos and installations.
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. It is unique in its singular
focus on auditory displays and the array of perception, technology, and
application areas that this encompasses. Like its predecessors, ICAD 2018
will be a single-track conference, open to all, with no membership or
affiliation requirements.
ICAD 2018, the 24th International Conference on Auditory Display, will be
held at Michigan Tech, June 10 to 15, 2018. The conference venues are the
Colleges of Arts and Architecture and Information Sciences and Technology.
The graduate student ThinkTank (doctoral consortium) will be on Sunday,
June 10, before the main conference.

The International Faust Conference (IFC-18: http://www.ifc18.uni-mainz.de)
will take place at the Johannes Gutenberg University
<http://www.uni-…
[View More]mainz.de/> of Mainz (Germany) on July 17-18, 2018. It aims
at gathering developers and users of the Faust programming language
<http://faust.grame.fr/> to present current projects and discuss future
directions for Faust and its community.
Participants will be able to share their work through paper presentations.
A series of round tables on various topics will serve as a platform to
brainstorm on Faust's features, semantics, tools, applications, etc. to
determine future directions for this language. Open spaces for demos and
workshops will be available for participants to openly share their ongoing
projects with the rest of the community.
As a special event, the winner of GRAME's Faust Open-Source Software
Competition will be announced during IFC-18.
IFC-18 is free and everyone is welcome to attend!
*Call for Papers*
We welcome submissions from academic, professional, independent
programmers, artists, etc. We solicit original papers centered around the Faust
programming language <http://faust.grame.fr/> in the following categories:
- Original research
- Technology tutorial
- Artistic project report (e.g., installation, composition, etc.)
Paper should be up to 14 pages in length, non anonymous, and formatted
according to this template
<http://www.ifc18.uni-mainz.de/misc/IFC-18-templates.zip>. *Submissions
should be carried out via our EasyChair portal
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ifc18>*.
All submissions are subject to peer review. Acceptance may be conditional
upon changes being made to the paper as directed by reviewers.
Accepted papers will be published on-line as well as in the IFC-18
proceedings paper version. They will be presented by their author(s) at
IFC-18 as 15 minutes presentations (+ 5 minutes for questions).
Feel free to contact us if you have any question.
*Important Dates*

*Call for Round Table Topics*
A series of round tables on the following themes will take place both
afternoons of IFC-18:
- Faust Tools (e.g., Architectures, IDE, Faust Code Generator, On-Line
Services, etc.)
- DSP in Faust and Faust Libraries (e.g., New Algorithms, New Libraries,
Missing Functions, etc.)
- Faust Compiler and Semantics
- Other Topics/Open Session
We solicit topic suggestions from the Faust community for each of these
themes. Topics can be submitted by means of this Google form
<https://goo.gl/forms/0fBYxk28jlRdtqRM2>. They will be introduced during

Greetings Musicians!
We challenge each and all of you to join in our musical “tunestorm”
challenge on November 5th in collaboration with the Sonoj Convention. At
the convention participants will be given an audio sample that must be
incorporated into an original musical piece in 1 hour! We are offering this
same challenge worldwide for participating remotely. The sample will also
be posted online and a submission form made available during the same hour
the challenge is issued at the …
[View More]convention. Highlights from the submissions
will be played in the following episode of the Open Source Musician (
http://opensourcemusician.com). Naturally, with the theme of sonoj and OSMP
we require that you use at least 1 piece of open source software in the
production.
See https://sonoj.org/podcast/ for additional information.
Please spread the word and participate!

Hello Linux-Audio fellows,
Noise Repellent is a spectral noise reduction plugin. Version 0.1.3 is now
out . You can read about this release here https://github.com/lucianodato
/noise-repellent/releases
Hope you like it! Cheers!

(Disclaimer: I am an organizer of this event)
In less than a month the "Sonoj Convention" shall happen.
[quote]Admission is free. You will be able to enjoy demonstrations,
talks and workshops about music production through open source software.
Hands-on tutorials and workflow presentations can be expected.
Everything will be recorded and released as online videos afterwards.

Please consider helping us by donating and spreading the word. You will
get some appreciation through the "…
[View More]Reward" system on the website.
For that we are asking for some modest donations here:
https://www.startnext.com/en/sonoj
Currently it looks like that this will not succeed, as you can see from
the link above. This is the usual "all or nothing" platform that only
gives you money if the goal is reached, otherwise donors get their money
back.
However, despite submitting the event announcements and several updates
to nearly one hundred on-topic websites, magazines (including posting it
ourselves on KVR, Reddit etc.) and blogs there is nearly zero response.
That excludes the Linux Audio Scene itself, which was very supportive to
this day (at least the news, not the donations).
I was hoping that Sonoj could be an event that brings in people from the
"outside", that are not already well connected with Linux Audio. It
seems I was wrong.
So here I am in one of the last places I wanted to ask for donations,
because this is the crowd that usually already gives a lot, be it their
own time, development of software or actual donations to well deserving
projects.
Please consider helping us by donating and spreading the word. You will
get some appreciation through the "Reward" system on the website.
