Hey everyone!
It has been a while since I've finished and published new music. But, as
LAC is rapidly approaching, and I'd really love to use whatever inspiration
I get there making brand new stuff, I decided to pull my act together and
finish a 5-track EP I've been working on for quite a while. The EP
features, among others, community celebrity Glen MacArthur, and in contrast
to my previous releases has vocals in various forms on more than half of
the tracks.
You'll find the EP in various formats at:
http://www.zthmusic.com/lost-time/, or you can visit Soundcloud
directly at:
https://soundcloud.com/zthmusic/sets/lost-time-ep
The music is, as usually, completely recorded, mixed and mastered with
Ardour 3. I'm also going to write a more exhaustive post about the
technicalities involved in making the EP in a few days. Keep an eye out for
that on my blog, if you're interested :).
I'm really happy with finally being finished with this project, and getting
it out there. Please let me know what you think, I really hope you like and
enjoy it! :-) Also, for those of you who are going to LAC, see you in a few
days :-D
Best wishes from Sweden,
Gabriel/zth
Apologies for x-posting, I would greatly appreciate it if you would please
disseminate the following.
I am pleased to announce immediate availability of a competitive 12-month
iPhD research assistantship in Human-Centered Design program for the Fall
2014.
Virginia Tech's new individualized Human-Centered Design (HCD) iPhD
transdisciplinary degree is closely aligned with the newfound Institute for
Creativity, Arts, and Technology (ICAT). iPhD is a degree designed primarily
to support individually tailored PhD experiences, allowing students to
actively participate in shaping their plan of study. The GAship in question
seeks candidates with a solid research background, and a strong sense of
independence and self-sufficiency. We are particularly seeking students
interested in sonification, sound spatialization, and interactive
technologies (e.g. mind-body technologies, laptop/mobile orchestras,
hyperinstruments, installations, mobile/wearable computing, etc.).
Candidates must possess a strong knowledge of Max and Pd/Pd-L2Ork
programming environments. C/C++ programming (or equivalent) is also
preferred, as well as skills in other domains (e.g. interactive multimedia,
K-12 education, 3D animation, etc.).
This is a 12-month renewable assistantship with a full tuition waiver and
one of the highest paying stipends at Virginia Tech. To be eligible
candidates need to apply, be accepted, and enroll in the new HCD iPhD
program with primary focus in the computer music domain focusing on one or
more of the aforesaid areas of interest.
The successful candidate will be given an opportunity to participate in
shaping the cutting edge 130+ speaker system and consequently its innovative
spatialization, sonification, and immersion approaches in the new $100M Moss
Arts Center and more specifically Institute for Creativity, Arts, and
Technology's three-story Cube space and its smaller counterpart, the
immersive Perform Studio. They will also work closely with ICAT faculty and
students on a number of collaborative projects, including Tech or Treat,
MAKEr camps, as well as ICAT IMPACT studio initiatives.
For questions and application information please contact Dr. Ivica Ico
Bukvic <ico(a)vt.edu>

Hey there.
I was regularly checking the website for the recordings during the last
few weeks. Are they not up yet or did I miss something?

Yeah this is probably not exactly a linux audio problem
Just thought someone here may have a clue...
I have a couple of linuxes on my box:
/dev/sda6 (LABEL=DebOld) is 32 bit debian
/dev/sda7 (LABEL=Deb64) is a recently installed 64 bit debian
Both these work ok. Both use xfce. Now I want to share the home and I am
having issues...
On DebOld home is separately mounted from /dev/sda3
On Deb64 home is part of the root fs and I want to move to using the old
separately mounted home where all my stuff is
The problem is that the numerical id of the (my) username is different in
the two systems. In DebOld the id is 1001 in Deb64 it is 1000.
So I did:
In new (Deb64) change 1000 to 1001 in /etc/passwd and /etc/group against my
username. Knock off the password in /etc/shadow and regenerate.
To some extent this has worked. However now I am beginning to see problems
suggesting this was not such a neat hack!
So parole - the xfce media player - is refusing to play sound files from
the old (and renamed) home but is playing it from the new.
I am guessing this is a user perms and not really a parole issue since
parole plays ok if started as root
So I have basically one specific and one general question:
Specific: Any ideas about how to make parole (gstreamer) work?
General: There may be more such issues in other (sub)systems/apps.
Whats the general way to solve it?
Thanks

I have an older GeneralMusic RealPiano Expander rack-mount (1 rack space
high, half-rack space wide) MIDI-triggered tone generator that rarely
gets used now that I have several other MIDI tone generators I prefer.
So I'm willing to give this RealPiano MIDI module away for the cost of
shipping.
The front LCD display of this GeneralMusic RealPiano Expander module no
longer works well, but if one can learn to use the unit almost "blind,"
using the front panel buttons instead of the LCD screen, this unit
produces some very fine sounds from the digital samples and acoustic
modeling, of piano, Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer electric piano and several
other types of keyboard or percussive (like vibraphone) sound.
United States only, unless I am persuaded to try to arrange
international shipping.
If you are interested in the unit, please write to me directly (don't
pollute the linux-audio-user email list), and please explain why you
would like this MIDI tone generator, in case more than one person is
interested and I need to make a decision about which person to give it to.
I'm sure that there is information on the Internet about the
GeneralMusic Real Piano Expander for anyone interested enough to do a
search.
Best wishes,

M-Audio Delta 1010 FREE for shipping charge, United States
Hello all-- I have an older M-Audio Delta 1010 audio/MIDI interface
(rack-mountable breakout box and PCI card combo) that I've used for
years, but I recently upgraded to a new computer and the Delta 1010 PCI
card uses an older PCI specification.
So I bought a new audio/MIDI interface and am willing to give away my
trusty older Delta 1010 for free to someone in the United States who
would like it and uses a computer with an older motherboard designed for
an older PCI standard.
Manual, cords and everything included.
Hey guys, I having a strange issue with jack, when I start Qjackctl with

these days and this started to happening out of nothing, it used to work
fine with any frames/period. Here are some information:

Hey fellas!
It's been a while, but finally I am getting back on track with the
"droning" project. Here is a new batch for you, tunes 233-240.
Get 'em here: http://www.louigiverona.ru/?page=projects&s=music&t=droning
Description.
droning233 - calm waves of sound, pretty relaxing tune
droning234 - some pads and bell-like sounds
droning235 - a curious experiment with choirs and even a little structure
droning236 - nice classical drone, calm, thoughtful and very much in style
of the first hundred
droning237 - dark tune, rich in timbre, soundtrackish, a little structure
droning238 - some arpeggiation action
droning239 - loop shifting, I believe a successful take on it
droning240 - epic sounding tune, mysterious
Enjoy!
