[linux-audio-user] Fw: [MMM] fwd: Call for Sound Works

by RTaylor

Begin forwarded message: Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2003 14:40:41 EDT From: czhang23(a)aol.com To: MakeMicroMusic(a)yahoogroups.com Subject: [MMM] fwd: Call for Sound Works http://www.mediascot.org/drift/call/sound.html Resonant Cities: Call for Sound Works New Media Scotland seeks sound works for Drift, an exploration of sound art and experimental music which comprises live events, radio broadcasts, moving image and publications. We are seeking sound works for 'Resonant Cities': Internet radio streaming that explore the sonic identity of our surrounding space and that engage with the fragmented 'noise' of the city soundscape: people, traffic, communication intrusions, mobile phones, radio traffic, city wildlife, buildings... We are particularly interested in audio works which involve one or several of the following ideas or processes: - Acoustic Ecology - Acousmatics - Phonography - Sonic research - Radio art, Internet radio - Microsound - Lowercase sound - Internet communication media and audio streaming - Electronic communities - Artists' software for sound and music - Sound work developed using open source processes and principles - Generative sound - Sound archives - Spoken word / oral history - Field recordings - The re-purposing / representing of existing analogue sound recordings, such as amateur recordings, scientific recordings, and accidental, lost or abandoned recordings The works selected by the Drift team will then be curated into themed streams that will be available via this web site. Our intention is to expand the audience for the work, encourage appreciation of sound art, and broaden access to a genre which is too often labelled as esoteric and inaccessible. We cannot pay a fee for this opportunity, but we will facilitate the broadcast of your work. Eligibility - Open to artists, musicians, producers in the UK and across the globe. DEADLINE: 31 OCTOBER 2003 --- Hanuman Zhang, musical mad scientist "Welcome and explore and inquire into everything, new or old, that comes your way, and then build your own music on whatever your inner life has been able to take in and offer you back again." - Henry Cowell "Music is by no means like the other arts, namely a copy of the Ideas, but a copy of the will itself, the objectivity of which are the Ideas. For this reason, the effect of music is so very much more powerful and penetrating than is that of the other arts, for these others speak only of the shadow, but music of the essence." - Schopenhauer, _The World as Will and Representation_ "His music, far from being in the background of my life, was in the foreground. It was he as a musician who accomplished what I dreamed of, and I followed as well as I could with the inferior power of words. The ear is purer than the eye, which reads only relative meaning into words. Whereas the distillation of experience into pure sound, a state of music, is timeless and absolute." -Anais Nin on her brother Joaquin Nin-Culmell "...improvisation is about change, about flux rather than stasis. ... improvisation is about a constant change." - Steve Beresford improvisation: "a process of liberation, a working around the assumptions that define our civilization, and the results are open-ended." - John Berndt Improvisation resists documentation - it celebrates the ephemeral, it perversely reminds us every second that everything dies. Much of the "modern Westernized world" isn't ready for this kind of news. > >"Any sufficiently advanced music is indistinguishable from noise" > >(after Arthur C.

[linux-audio-user] re : emi 26

by nick phillips

hi there, i'm using debian sid, kernel 2.4.22 (just grabbed it yesterday). i was running the stock debian 2.4.18bf.24 kernel, perhaps i'll try to go back to compile against that one. but i figured the emi 2|6 loading was handled by the kernel itself after 2.4.19 so i would be able to get it work without alsa (which i've never had much luck installing) on a 2.4.22 kernel. any help is always appreciated! best, nick > On 08/26/03 18:06:00, nick phillips wrote: > > so everything looks like it's working great, but i can't get any > sound > > output from anything - xmms, pd, audacity, etc. xmms complains of > > 'permission denied', but i tried 'chmod 666 /dev/dsp' to no avail. i > > also disabled all sound servers (eds, artsd) to make sure no program > was > > claiming the soundcard, and did an 'fuser /dev/dsp', nothing shows > up. > > most other programs complain that "/dev/dsp: no such device exists." > am > > i missing a step? should the emi be outputting through /dev/dsp or > some > > other device? > > What distro and what kernel? > We are currently experiencing the same problem with ALL sound cards on > Mandrake Cooker.

[linux-audio-user] yast newbie question

by Jamie Lutch

slightly off topic, but I am configuring this for audio, so here goes. I installed suse 8.2 to a partiotion that was too small, after I realized it, i expanded the sizer of it using partition magic, and it worked, linux still botts and everything. using the yast partition utility, it shows the new size,(until I try to edit it, it shows the old size) It is incorrect in the lower left-hand corner where it shows the mounted volume space. I also keep getting error messages reporting the old size when I go to install new programs, and if I try to go adjust the size of the partition using yast, it reports the old size. It seems like there would be a really elementary fix for this. thanks, jamie

[linux-audio-user] question re: emi26

by nick phillips

greetings list, i'm attempting to get my emagic usb emi 2|6 card working with a debian linux install on a powerbook g3. i've recompiled the current kernel for emi 2|6 support as a loadable module, and it loads fine -- all the green lights are on to indiciate it's working ok. i also loaded the usb audio module, soundcore, and removed the module for internal soundcard support since i don't really plan on using it. so everything looks like it's working great, but i can't get any sound output from anything - xmms, pd, audacity, etc. xmms complains of 'permission denied', but i tried 'chmod 666 /dev/dsp' to no avail. i also disabled all sound servers (eds, artsd) to make sure no program was claiming the soundcard, and did an 'fuser /dev/dsp', nothing shows up. most other programs complain that "/dev/dsp: no such device exists." am i missing a step? should the emi be outputting through /dev/dsp or some other device? i tried the alsa route, but apparently the alsa modules don't install against the 2.4.22 kernel? i get a bunch of errors about undefined symbols in the usb audio section, everything else seems to compile ok. so i guess i'll try the OSS route if possible.. thanks in advance for any help, best, nick

[linux-audio-user] digital i/o

by luis jure

hello friends, i'm searching for a card with just digital i/o to connect to an external converter. budget is critical. one possibility we've thought of is the dio2448, but i've seen also the edirol UA-1D USB: http://www.edirol.com/products/info/ua1d.html i couldn't find it in the list supported by alsa, but perhaps it's because it's still new. any comments on this? any other suggestion in that price range? thank you. lj --

[linux-audio-user] MusE: Jack or Alsa

by BartonBosch＠aol.com

I have just installed the Planet on my linux partition and have started in to reading the jack and alsa user documentation. I want to do some basic composition and aranging in midi. I was thinking that I would use MusE with Fluidsynth and various soundfonts. At this point I am not trying to input any external signals from guitars, hardware synths, mics, etc. I noticed that MusE gives an option to use Alsa only or to use Jack (which I assume would be in combination with Alsa as a driver). Any opinions whether it is worth going to the trouble of learning to use jack with MusE to import, modify, create and playback midi tracks? Thanks, Barton

[linux-audio-user] alsa-lib high level interface

by Burkhard Ritter

Hello. This is probably a bit off-topic. Anyway, I just wanted to write a simple alsa mixer app (for learning purposes) and wondered if there is some kind of a high level alsa-lib interface, as it seems to me quite 'deep down'. The documentation isn't too good either. As I am completely new to this stuff, I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks. Burkhard

RE: [linux-audio-user] Noise removal, what filter is best?

by Reuben Martin

If it's a high pitch and confined to a relatively small bandwidth like I think you're describing, you could probably remove it with a notch filter pretty easily. You may want to start by looking at Freaqtweak. -Reuben -----Original Message----- From: Tim Beauregard [mailto:helycos@lycos.co.uk] Sent: Monday, August 25, 2003 4:18 PM To: linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu Subject: [linux-audio-user] Noise removal, what filter is best? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm looking for a filter/software to remove noise from a sound file. I'm not an audio expert so will try to describe the noise in a way that you out there might be able to put a name to it and recommend a suitable filter/software to remove it. It is a short sharp blip, fairly high frequency, sounds like a compass point stabbing glass. It occurs as often as every minute or so in the two hour sound file. I obtained this file by recording DAB radio here in the UK. I'm presuming the noise is derived from errors in the transmission or analogue to digital conversion phase of the broadcast. I think it is due to a signal exceeding line volume. I've tried the gramofile filter 'Conditional Median Filter II', which failed to remove the noise. If necessary I could email a sample of the noise. I'm using Debian 3.0r0, 2.4.18 kernel. Thank you in advance :-) Tim Beauregard -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE/Snz3sUUdIDHrdAURAuF/AJ9+QZHf4lZMgDLkAm+wv1Ov3dTgqACghi2f 1q7lXukyBjtYvG0mTFPv+po= =Mu6g -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
