Hello everyone!
Here is the serious piece of electronic music. Rather more depressive than I
would have predicted.
First though I have to express my gratitude to Alison Utter for the sweet
vocals, that she has supplied. Thanks! And then we have the links:

And the lyrics:

Or you can access it all from the music page:

Now about that song: technically speaking I used a lot of Midish and Nama.
And for the first time I really came to appreciate Ecasound's LV2-support. So
also a big thanks to Jeremy Salwen, who contributed that feature!
Musically, this is a mixture of different influences. I'm still not sure, if
it should be categorised as pop or electronica. there's some dubstep in this,
as well as some hiphop - in German! :-) - and some basic depressive pop. As to
instruments used: almost everything I have at my disposal. In software I only
used LinuxSampler for the Solina sample. Thanks to the friend, who made a
present of it to me! It's a versatile instrument!
This latest experiment concluded, I will just lean back and relax. As ever:
feedback is very welcome!
Warm regards and enjoy
Julien

Dear LAU,
I'm happy to share this acousmatic piece I have made available online.
On soundcloud:
https://soundcloud.com/lorenzosu/machine-landscape
Direct download of the FLAC file is also available from that soundcloud page
OGG file:
http://lorenzosu.net/music_sound/machine_landscape/machine_landscape.ogg
Machine Landscape presents a sonic experience inspired by 'the machine',
predominant and unavoidable element of our contemporary life.
The piece was entirely composed with Linux.
and was performed at EmuFest 2013 electronic music festival in Rome in
October. For the festival the piece was performed on a 24-speaker 'dome'
system and spatialised live.
For what concerns software Ardour3 and Pure Data had a predominant role.
Lorenzo.
Hi all! It was suggested that I post this to the list. Having created it for my good LAU friend, Julien, it is here because of his hosting it, for your enjoyment. Click the link below, and choose the Bruhns Prelude and Fugue. There is information there about the production. Thanks all. Comments or suggestions are welcome.

Hail citizens!
M'colleague and I are proud to announce the first releases from Julius
Quintus, LAU's least-productive prog supergroup (for which I am entirely
to blame -- the productivity thing, that is, I'm only partially to blame
for the music).
These were recorded at JQ's first recording session (and second ever
meeting) in August 2010, in the UK.
Rough mixes were done three years ago, but they've languished ever
since, basically waiting for me to get my arse into gear. An injury
earlier in the year that rendered me unable to play, together with other
personal circumstances, made it a good opportunity to revisit these two
pieces and finally do them justice.
I'd like to take this opportunity to dedicate these two pieces to
m'colleague, Julien, as a thank you for all the friendship and music
we've shared, and as an apology for being so damn slow with everything.
Those that can, make music: those that can't, make excuses. We have a
good partnership: m'colleague makes the music and I have a batch of
freshly made excuses specially prepared...

Details and other links further below. We hope you enjoy and, as always,
comments are welcomed.
No capes, Persian rugs, curries, knives or ice rinks were harmed during
the making of this music.
Ave,
Julius Quintus

AS A CLOUD PASSES THE SUN, SO MY LIFE TURNS GREY
This main bulk of this short piece was written in the studio in August 2010.
The flute was added later in August, following the main session. The
take was only supposed to be a placeholder until a better one could be
recorded, but so far that hasn't happened. So the flute playing is even
crappier than is usual.
The guitar overdubs were the last to be done, being added in September
2010 following an inspirational break in Orkney.
J: Black Grand piano, Virtual String Machine, M-Tron Pro (three violins,
eight choir), drums
Q: guitars (SA503TVL, Les Paul), fretless bass, flute, percussion
Music: J&Q
Engineering, mixing & mastering: Q

TIME TO GO [6:01]
This was a studio marmalade -- you can't really jam a full prog piece
with two people -- recorded in August 2010.
Piano and guitar were laid down together with the string machine overdub
quickly following (sadly not the real deal, since the studio wasn't
equipped with real string machines until later). The next day, the drums
were improvised/overdubbed, followed by the bass (improvising on a
fretless was not the best of ideas and protestations were made!).
The improvised lead guitar part was overdubbed on the last full day in
the studio, as it was beginning to dawn that it would soon be time to go
and something needed to be laid down. It's the first take.
The other details were added during pre-production, which commenced this
summer.
J: Black Grand piano, Virtual String Machine, drums
Q: guitars (SA503TVL), fretless bass, ChamberTron (female voice, male
voice), M-Tron Pro (boys' choir, female choir, male choir), Little
Phatty SII, Dark Energy, percussion
Music: J&Q
Engineering, mixing & mastering: Q

Hi there,
I'm want to give live-coding a try and am looking for a nice
environment. I came across LuaAV again, didn't find it in any repos and
now I remembered why: the guys who develop it use a rather weird build
system, basically a few scripts specifically written for some version
of ubuntu. However, I guess it's not impossible to build it on other
distros.
Has anyone tried? Is it worth it?
Regards,
Philipp
Hard. Fast. Highly political. Most of the heavy lifting was done in
Ardour. Most of the drum programming was in Hydrogen, with additoinal
programming was done in Ardour MIDI'd to Hydrogen via JACK. Other details
can be found in the SoundCloud description.

Hello all,
A quick message to announce a new set of lv2 plugins: midimsg.lv2.
In a nutshell, these plugins are used to transform midi messages into
usable values.
At the moment, modwheel, controller and channel aftertouch is available.
These are usefull to control parameters of other LV2 plugins via midi.
They can be downloaded here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/midimsglv2/files/midimsg.lv2-0.0.1.tar.gz/d…
I would be really interrested to get any feedback regarding this new project.
