hi everyone!
for those who have not heard it yet, the second international Linux Audio
Conference is taking place at the ZKM Karlsruhe/Germany from 29.4. to
2.5.2004. see http://www.zkm.de/lad/ for details.
we have a number of very interesting presentations, all of which
will be streamed out live, for the unlucky folks who can't be here in
person. additionally, you will be able to download the presentation slides
in advance should you wish to follow a lecture.
there will be feedback channels on IRC, operated by folks who are in the
lecture rooms. they will relay questions from you to the live audience.
if all goes well, webcams will upload still images every 30 seconds to
give you an idea of the ambience and of which slide is currently up.
all important information on streaming relays, downloadable material, irc
channels etc. will be dumped to
http://linuxaudiodev.org/eventszkm2004.php3 .
this page will be updated very frequently during the next days.
the streams won't be up until tomorrow morning, but the chat rooms are
already there.
please forward this mail to any interested people. and no, we do not
fear the slashdot effect :)
enjoy,
joern

Hi all,
I've just been virtually attending the conference and I'd just like to praise
up Joern once more. It was great to be able to experience the lectures and
hang out on IRC with everyone. This was an indispensable service and an
enjoyable, even exciting experience. Thankyou.

The areas for improvement are probably obvious and the advances in Linux
Multimedia will more things possible in future. It's a great way of
showcasing what Linux is capable of Multimedia-wise. A few specific comments
just for information. The Kubus camers was positioned too far back to be able
to recognise the speakers and the screens are not viewable as useful
information despite the improved resolution from the Salem server. I wonder
if it is not possible to stream the screenshots in future? - some
presentations don't rely on pre-prepared slides and it's nice to see the
software in action at the hands of its developers. Obviously video streaming
would be fun, in practise I found that what I wanted was to be able to see
the screen and the presenter clearly, everything else was ambience. Where
people had pre-prepared presentations they were available on the Web. Frank
Barknecht, Steve Harris and Joern Nettingsmeier have to be praised for the
quality of information here.
It would be nice to have more human 'anchors' for the virtual attendees, the
IRC presence was great, it would have been nice to extend this to audio too,
it would help the whole thing hang together as a webcast better IMO.
At risk of horribly inflating his ego, I want to praise Joern again for his
presentation about sound engineering. It's a rare talent to be able to
explain complex technical information in a way that can be readily
understood. In the hour that I caught I learned more about soundprocessing
than I have for a long time and found my questions about compressors &
limiters, which I've never properly understood, being answered one after
another in rapid succession. (I think that's why no-one asked any questions,
Joern ;-) I think I'll be making better sounding music from now on.
The whole has made me curious as to the possibilities of using musical
programming languages. Particularly, hearing Frank and Fernando Pablo
Lopez-Lezcano producing recognisable music using these techniques was
particularly revealing. The concerts were maginficent, I'd like pointers to
these other composers' websites for more info, downloadable music, hell, I'd
even pay for CDs :-) If anyone knows.
For the virtual attendees it would be nice to know what music was being
played in between lectures also. Little personal opinion: I'd like it if it
was all 'Made with Linux' music too :-0 Here, the proof of the pudding is
very much in the listening.
All in all, fantastic Conference, many thanks to all who made it possible. I'm
very inspired by what I've just experienced.
cheers

I'll second that. Great work done by all, and a great conference.

I missed a few of the presentations. When might the audio recordings be
posted to the Web site?

Thank you. I'd really like to point out Victor Lazzarinis papers as
well. I missed his talk and now will wait for the audio version to
follow the slides, but from a short look they seem to be a really
extensive and well made introduction to FFT and spectral processing.
Add to that his ~40 page PDF written very clearly: wonderful.

Some concerts were streamed? I didn't know that. If someone has
wget-recorded mine (beginning of Linux Sound Night, about 16 minutes),
I actually would be interested in hearing at what I actually did on
stage. It was my debut there with a laptop and so I was in a tizzy and
forgot to set up Pd for recording the things I did live, which I
intended to do... ;-(

I don't think the linux sound night was streamed.
Regarding composers websites:
There is a list on Dave's site that links to some of them, as well as
others who were not at the conference:
http://sound.condorow.net/music.html
Ivica Ico Bukvic has more on his site than the one piece linked to by dave:
http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/~ico/index2nf.html
There are some really interesting things there.
Anyone have links for any of the others?

Excellent, thanks Eric.
And there also is this recorded jam session Torben Hohn and Frank van
de Pol did on Sunday afternoon in the seminar room, probably inspired
by the set of DJ Lego the night before:
http://www.linuxdj.com/audio/lad/contrib/zkm_meeting_2004/misc/
Hard techno done with Galan, recorded with Ardour. Created drug free
AFAIK, but surely they - like we all - were obviously really
overtired. ;)

New subject: [linux-audio-user] Back home from Linux Audio Conference #2 (brief note)
Greetings:
I just wanted to echo the kind words expressed here regarding the
great work performed by Joern and the others who made possible the audio
streaming for LAD2004 (or whatever it's actually named). Thanks, guys !
Next year (yes, there will be a LAD2005 at ZKM): video streams !
Also, re: the concerts: I understand that the concerts were not
streamed due to license/royalty concerns. Too bad, there was some
excellent music this year, a most welcome addition to the conference.
I have to write a couple articles on the conference for the Linux
Journal and for the Computer Music Journal, so I'll simply say here:
Vast thanks to everyone who particpated this year, either on-line or "in
vivo" ! The people at ZKM deserve especial praise for their support and
indulgence at having a lot of very strange people wandering their
hallowed halls: they extended every kindness to the participants and the
audience, and I was pleased to learn that ZKM is quite willing to host
next year's conference. Frank Neumann, Dr. Matthias Nagorni, Goetz
Dipper, and the staff at ZKM deserve great thanks, for without their
assistance this conference simply would not have succeeded so wonderfully.
A fantastic time was had by all, and I'm already looking forward to
LAD2005. It was great to see old friends again and to meet so many new
ones, and I look forward to seeing you all next year !
Best regards,
Dave Phillips
PS: Oh yes, very special thanks to Frank Neumann for bringing my
attention to Staplerfahrer Klaus - Der Erste Arbeitstag. I've already
placed my order... ;-)
