This is a temporary upload of a loop that will be transformed into a train in an upcoming piece entitled locomotion. It is the "tighten up" drum break looped using a granular synthesizer in Jeskola Buzz.

Feel free to use in any way.

Here is a program that is similar to jack, but for windows. http://spider.nrcde.ru/music/software/eng/vac.html

It allows rerouting of sound from one application to another using "virtual audio cables" The trial is free and the full version is 20.

Similary, "http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/waveclone.html"
lets you add multi-client support with any audio port in your system, allowing unlimited number of applications to use them at same time.

Also, for MAC users, http://cycling74.com/products/soundflower is another JACK clone.. I dont think this has as many features as JACK but looks a bit quicker to use.

This summer BAP will be hosting the first in a series of programs entitled the “BAPLab” taking place on July 22nd 2006. Showcasing well known artists side by side with emerging artists, the Lab’s purpose is to expose both audience and artists alike to the vast spectrum of digital culture. Located at 3rd Ward, in the outer edges of Bushwick, the Lab is an experimental event where artists are encouraged to explore new paths and investigate new ideas through a curated program of electronic music, video, sound installations and interactive works.

Part exhibition, part creative R&D program, the BAPLab is a festival of ideas. An environment where artists can explore new approaches to creative expression.

Date: Saturday July 22nd 2006
Time: Doors Open at 4pm, First Performance at 4:30
Location: 3rd Ward, 195 Morgan Ave
Cost: a mere $10

http://drpichon.free.fr/pmpd/ here is a PD external that allows for physical modeling that can then control audio/video. pretty cool stuff.

Hey Guys, My band Nixon vs Panda is playing a show Thursday the 16th at 8pm at Noyes CC. WE are playing first , opening for a "black industrial noise pop" band called Wolf Eyes. The show is put on by fanclub and Should be an interesting show so I hope some of you can make it out.

Hey I just wanted to show you guys some midi devices and some software to drool over:

Here is a demo:
http://www.twelfthroot.com/lemur/

The continuum keyboard from Haken Audio:
http://www.hakenaudio.com/Continuum/
it's a continuous keyboard i guess

and Jazzmutant's Lemur
A multitouch midi controlling tablet thing:
http://www.jazzmutant.com/lemur_overview.php

but in fact if youhave a tablet pc, there is a program written called tablet2midi which does the same thing but without multitouch.

If you run a PC here is an awesome program to slice and resequence live beats etc. its kind of like the cool parts of ableton Live in a VST version.. osx coming soon.. its called liveslice

both tablet2midi and liveslice are here:
http://www.livelab.dk/

Also some crazy synth software called metasynth that does "spectral granular" synthesis that looks cool: http://uisoftware.com/MetaSynth/

Will we be performing the pieces in the studio or in lecture room and can we invite people??

this is a possible direction for my project.

i wrote a long description about it but i accidentally lost it.

so without a description here is an idea for my piece

http://digital.music.cornell.edu/ssa23/ssa23-tempsong.mp3

it's based of the following loop:

http://digital.music.cornell.edu/ssa23/tighten_up.wav

I played it "live" with a mouse only so i made a few mistakes, also be careful of volume levels cuz it probably clips quite a bit.

please leave any suggestions or ideas that come to mind.

if i continue with it. expect a quicker buildup and more drama. and levels to crumble the world.
