[OT] Competition Sound Installation in Hannover

by joachim heintz

english text below, sorry for cross-posting - joachim Konzept- und Kompositionswettbewerb Concept and Composition Competition My Daily Experiences Auf dem neu gestalteten Platz der Weltausstellung, Kreuzung Karmarsch- und Osterstraße, stehen im regelmäßigen Abstand von 11,5 m zueinander sechzehn Beleuchtungs-Säulen, die ein 34,5 x 34,5 m großes quadratisches Feld bilden. Auf Ohrenhöhe sind Lautsprecher in die Säulen eingelassen, die von einer in der Nähe eingerichteten Rechnerzentrale dergestalt angesteuert werden, dass sich auf dem Platz ein Klangfeld aufbaut. Zu festgelegten Zeiten treten körperlose Klänge in das Alltagsleben des Platzes mit seiner Klangwelt: täglich, regelmäßig und doch immer einmalig. Das Kulturbüro der Landeshauptstadt Hannover und Musik 21 Niedersachsen suchen Musiker, Künstler und Komponisten aus der ganzen Welt, die für dieses einzigartige Klangfeld Konzepte und/oder Kompositionen einreichen. Diese sollen auf ihre Weise mit der außergewöhnlichen Situation einer „Musik im öffentlichen Raum“ umgehen und zu dem vorhandenen akustischen Geschehen des Platzes in Beziehung treten: zu ihm kontrastieren, es integrieren, bewusst machen oder negieren. Und sie sollen die bereits vorhandenen Erfahrungen berücksichtigen, die die Sixteen Daily Experiences geliefert haben (www.musik21niedersachsen.de). Zur technischen Ausstattung: Es gibt sechzehn einzeln ansteuerbare Kanäle. Die Anlage ist zunächst auf das Abspielen von Mehrkanal-Audiodateien ausgerichtet; live-elektronische Konzeptionen sind im Voraus mit der technischen Leitung (Joachim Heintz, Leiter des Elektronischen Studios der HMTM Hannover) abzusprechen. Klänge in Extremlagen, vor allem im Bassbereich, sollten vermieden werden. Der Grundriss sowie Bildmaterial des Platzes stehen unter www.musik21niedersachsen.de/353.html zur Verfügung. Konzepte und/oder Kompositionen können mit aussagekräftigen Unterlagen einschließlich zuverlässiger Kostenindikation, Lebenslauf und Kontaktdaten bis zum 15.09.2011 eingereicht werden an: Musik 21 – NGNM e.V. Alte Grammophonfabrik Stichwort: My Daily Experiences Edwin-Oppler-Weg 5 30167 Hannover Deutschland On the recently redesigned ‘Platz der Weltausstellung’ at the intersection of Karmarschstraße and Osterstraße in Hannover stand sixteen street lighting pillars, 11.5 metres apart, forming a 34.5-metre square. Loudspeakers are set into the pillars at head height, connected to a computer in the vicinity so that a soundspace can be created on the square. At predetermined intervals, disembodied sounds impinge on the everyday life of the square with its soundscape: daily, regularly, but uniquely. The City of Hannover Arts Bureau and Musik 21 Niedersachsen invite musicians, artists and composers from all over the world to submit concepts and/or compositions for this unique soundspace. Their works should address, in an inimitable manner, the exceptional situation of ‘music in public space’ and relate to the existing acoustic events of the square: contrasting with them, integrating them, enhancing awareness of them or negating them. And they should also take into account the experiences already proffered by the ‘Sixteen Daily Experiences’ (www.musik21niedersachsen.de). Concerning the technical facilities: there are sixteen individually controllable channels. The system is primarily designed to play multi-channel audio data; live electronic compositions should be discussed in advance with the technical director, Joachim Heintz, head of the Electronic Studio at Hannover University of Music, Drama and Media (HMTM Hannover). Sounds on the margins of human hearing, especially in the bass, should be avoided. The plan and visual images of the square are available on www.musik21niedersachsen.de/353.html. Concepts and/or compositions with coherent and informative documentation, CV and contact details may be submitted until 15 September 2011 to: Musik 21 – NGNM e.V. Alte Grammophonfabrik Ref.: My Daily Experiences Edwin-Oppler-Weg 5 30167 Hannover Deutschland Jury: Kuratorium Musik 21 Niedersachsen, chaired by / Vorsitz Johannes Schöllhorn Up to 5.000 € has been allotted as prize money for the winning submissions, which will be implemented from 2012. Es stehen Preisgelder und Mittel zur Realisierung in Höhe von bis zu 5.000 Euro zur Verfügung. Die ausgewählten Projekte werden ab 2012 realisiert.

Kernel 2.6.39.1

by Ralf Mardorf

Hi, I guess this should be a new thread. I also tried to figure out myself what I'm missing and I asked on Debian users mailing list first. Sorry, but I've to asked again. $ uname -a Linux debian 2.6.39.1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jun 7 01:40:05 CEST 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux I started with my current kernel-rt's config and run make oldconfig. PREEMPT? Before I build and installed the kernel I removed all ALSA packages excepted of libasound2 1.0.23-4, a dependency for the Debian audio packages. I didn't replace it by a dummy package. This seems not to be the correct way to use Kernel's ALSA? I can run $ jackd --sync -Xalsarawmidi -dalsa -r48000 -p1024 without getting an error message, it's the same for $ jackd --sync -dalsa -r48000 -p1024 but if I run qjackctl I get 03:11:54.885 Patchbay deactivated. 03:11:54.887 Statistics reset. 03:11:54.913 Could not open ALSA sequencer as a client. ALSA MIDI patchbay will be not available. ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: Permission denied Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory Cannot connect to server socket jack server is not running or cannot be started E.g. no alsaconf. The "Xilinx RME Hammerfall DSP MADI" is the RME HDSPe AIO, shouldn't the name be correct for the new driver/firmware? When running Jack, instead of showing the name DSP MADI and two MIDI devices for the DSP MADI, there's no name and only one MIDI device for the first card, hence the driver/firmware was switched? # a a2j alias apt-sortpkgs atobm a2j_control alsa_in ar atop a2jmidi_bridge alsa_out arch atopsar a2jmidid amsynth ardour2 atq a2p anacron ardour2-session_exchange.py atrm a2x analyseplugin arp aubiocut ac3dec apm_available arpd aubionotes accept applyplugin artscat aubioonset accessdb appres artsd aubiopitch aclocal apropos artsdsp aubiotrack aclocal-1.11 apt-add-repository artsmessage audacity aconnectgui apt-cache artsplay autoconf acpi apt-cdrom artsrec autoheader acpi_available apt-config artsshell autom4te acpid apt-extracttemplates artswrapper automake acpi_listen apt-ftparchive as automake-1.11 add-apt-repository apt-get as10k1 autoreconf addgroup aptitude asciidoc autoscan addpart aptitude-create-state-bundle aspell autoupdate addr2line aptitude-curses aspell-autobuildhash awk add-shell aptitude-run-state-bundle aspell-import axi-cache adduser apt-key asunder aeolus apt-listchanges at agetty apt-mark atd # h h2ph halt hd head helpztags history horgand hostid html2text hwclock hydrogen h2xs hash hdparm help hexdump hmac256 host hostname htop hwinfo # hwinfo --sound > hal.1: read hal dataprocess 2654: arguments to dbus_move_error() were incorrect, assertion "(dest) == NULL || !dbus_error_is_set ((dest))" failed in file dbus-errors.c line 280.

Re: [LAU] Some new* music

by Julien Claassen

Hello Q! As always this is a superb piece of composition and production. I especially like the drumming. It's magnificent. When first listening to it, I thought it was good, but after a few relistens, I had to revise my opinion. :-) I really do like the fact, that you have so much Tron in there, but hide it or use it in untypical ways. It creates a very specific sound. Good to hear someone to perform punctuated playing and calcualted pauses to impressive effect. You create some very dense clouds of sounds without muddying it, which is sublime, something I have trouble, when tracks get out of hand. :-) Only one small criticism: The drums in the last part are a bit too distored for my liking. From what I've read, that's intentional. Still my aural taste buds disagree, if only slightly. Yet, that is nought but a luxury problem. :-) And I suppose it is expected of me, to find something to criticise on drums. :-) Very well done, already looking forward to the next section! No pressure. :-) Oddly metred yours Julien -------- Music was my first love and it will be my last (John Miles) ======== FIND MY WEB-PROJECT AT: ======== http://ltsb.sourceforge.net the Linux TextBased Studio guide ======= AND MY PERSONAL PAGES AT: ======= http://www.juliencoder.de

Amsterdam stay

by Julien Claassen

Hello everyone! I will probably travel to Amsterdam at the end of June (26-28) to meet a friend, whom I know through music. Unfortunately I can't stay, where he will be since, it's a small private place. So can anyone suggest a cheap hostel or something like that or put me up? My friend will be somewhere near the Grensstraat exit of wilbautstraat station, if that's any help. but I think anything not too far from that area, which is close to another station will do. Thanks a lot! Warm regards Julien -------- Music was my first love and it will be my last (John Miles) ======== FIND MY WEB-PROJECT AT: ======== http://ltsb.sourceforge.net the Linux TextBased Studio guide ======= AND MY PERSONAL PAGES AT: ======= http://www.juliencoder.de

Using logical ALSA device names with qjackctl

by Fons Adriaensen

Hello all, Is there any way to use logical device nammes instead of 'hw:a.b' when setting up Qjackctl ? It seems like the easiest way to deal with hw device numbers changing on each boot, but I haven't found a way to do it. Editing ~/.jackdrc doesn't work, it just gets overwritten with the (wrong) hw device names (and I wonder why this is done). Ciao, -- FA

Csound, more than 25 years after its creation, has changed in many ways during the years, and so has the situation of computer music in general. What is the role of Csound in current electronic music practice, teaching and learning? What are the challenges, potentials, and perspectives of the ways ahead? This meeting looks to provide discussion between developers and users, and to show aspects of the Csound Language in papers, workshops, installations, and a concert. CALL FOR PAPERS As this conference is mainly focused on the present situation and further development of Csound, papers which discuss this topic in regard to the technology, the community, the documentation or the ways of learning, are mostly welcome. But you are also encouraged to send any paper which deals with any Csound related content. Papers should be about 4-8 pages. Please use the templates found here: http://www.incontri.hmtm-hannover.de/uploads/media/CsoundConfTemplates.zip Please upload your paper at www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=csndc2011 . If you have no easychair account, you will be asked to create one first. Paper draft submission: June 15 Notification of acceptance: July 15 Final Paper submission: September 1 CALL FOR WORKSHOPS Please describe the topic on which you like to hold a workshop, and what you need (time frame, technics, optimal number of participants, etc). Please upload your description in html format at www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=csndc2011 . If you have no easychair account, you will be asked to create one first. Workshop draft submission: June 15 Notification of acceptance: July 15 CALL FOR MUSIC There will be a concert on october 1st with pieces which were made mainly with Csound, either fixed media or with live electronics (maximum eight speakers).
