Hi all,
exactly 150 years ago the first sound recording was made, written in ink.
In exactly one month the Linux Audio Conference 2010 will take place.
These two events gave rise to
"The 150-Years-of-Music-Technology Composition Competition"
There are nice prizes to be won and of course the honour and fame associated
with the winning composition. The winning composition will also be played
at the Linux Sound Night on May 3rd.
All the info you need for participating in the competition is here:

Have fun !

Nice idea but the deadline for not giving it personally was already crossed on 26th of
march.
Also it would be nice to know if the composition is anonymous or not. Normally those
competitions are anonymous.

Hi Nils,

personally was already crossed on 26th of march.
That should have said 26th of April
! Sorry I overlooked this and thanks for mentioning.
Also it would be nice to know if the composition is
anonymous or not.
Anonymous ? Why would you want it to ?
Cheers,
Marc

Normally Composition Contests are anonymous to keep them free of personal thoughts and
impressions. It is sad but a Jury cannot be objective, even a small picture or the name or
e-mail address can be too much.

Either it's this - ensuring the jury isn't influenced
by personal likes and dislikes - or it's to enable the
jury to claim there were no such effects.

Good point,
I'll ask Than to make the material anonymous when he forwards it
to the other jury members. I'm pretty sure that was his intention anyway.
Looking forward to hear your composition (although I won't know it's yours... ;-)
)

New subject: The LAC Times Edition #2
Hi everyone,
got nothing to do during the Easter holidays ? I don't think so...
The second edition of ____The LAC Times____ is online:
http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2010/LAC_Times_2010_04_02.pdf
Subjects in this edition:
* A first glimpse of the LAC 2010 programme
* The 150-Years-of-Music-Technology Composition Competition
* A short history of recording sound [part 2]
No longer do you need to worry what to do at Easter. Now you'll worry what to do
first:
study the programme to decide which day(s) you're gonna visit the Linux Audio
Conference,
work on your composition or read Than's second history lesson.
Enjoy !
Marc
I'll put a printer-friendly version under the News tab of the LAC site soon.

New subject: LAC 2010 program is online !
Hello everyone,
this won't be a surprise to most of you, as you're all checking the
LAC website twice a day for updates, but for the others: the program
is now available and can be viewed in various ways: list, abstracts,
printable holistic view and there's even an iCal export !
A big thumbs-up to Robin Gareus for making this very slick web frontend for my database
to make all this possible.
http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2010/?page=program
As you can see it's very well filled with activities throughout every
day and on three evenings in several locations and with a wide variety
of subjects.
It's been a less than trivial operation to piece it all together but the
conference promises to be very interesting.
In case last-minute changes occur, the website will be updated immediately
so always check the site for the latest information.
Let's hope the cloud of volcanic ash gets blown away soon.
We're looking forward to seeing you in Utrecht !
Kind regards,
Marc, Robin, Frank and the rest of the team
