Andre Abrahamian, come by earlier in the day and we can arrange to setup your piece.

Please see attached.

Below you will find materials for our Thursday meeting session.  Download the attached .ZIP archive and "Extract" it to the Desktop or somewhere else convenient.  In addition to  our use of these materials together in class, you may wish to examine them on your own in the studio.

Class materials dowload

Note: One of the sample libraries included here ("glass") comes from freesound.org, an online sound archive that you can both download from and upload to; I encourage both.  The borrowed samples, in this case, require attribution for use.  See "details and attribution" within the "glass" subirectory contained in the archive.

For those who missed the end of class or left after the studio session, the details of your first assignment are online.  Assignment #1 is due by class time next Thursday.

Door access should also be active in beginning tomorrow afternoon.  Plan on starting your work over the weekend.  Studio signup will also be ready tomorrow.  See the site FAQ if you can't remember how to log in.  f you have password questions, please write to Eric directly.

Greetings everyone-

My office hours for this semester will be Mondays 10am-Noon. If you cannot make this time, I may be able to meet briefly by appointment, as well.

I'd like to join the discussion, and toss out a couple of albums I've been listening to recently...

Coldplay - Viva la Vida (we should all strive for this level of studio engineering, like 'em or not)

Mew - Frengers, And the Glass Handed Kites (great songwriting, like prom night in the eighties)

Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago (simple and nice for the drive home)

Slayer - Reign in Blood (scary and aggressive for the drive away from home)

Radiohead - In Rainbows (no words can describe how talented these guys are)

I'm interested in any and all of your suggestions. I'm always looking for new music!

-Chris

This site is a resource for students to interact beyond the lectures and labs.  Students are encouraged to post their ideas in progress to be commented upon attaching sounds, tracks, patches, or software-specific files for others to listen to, look at, and learn from.  If attachment/upload is not feasible (because of file size or other constraints) feel free to tell us where we can listen (machine, folder, etc) or where else the work might be available.

Please direct any questions about studio functionality troubles (software, hardware, etc) as well as formal assingments to the forums.  This space is intended to be an informal outlet where musical ideas and experiences can be discussed.

If you wish, you can "subscribe" to this page via RSS and track changes and additions by other students.  In Firefox of Safari jus click the RSS feed button (orange radio button on Firefox, Blue "RSS" button in address bar in Safari).  There are many other ways to view and manage RSS subscriptions.  If you are unfamiliar with RSS ("RDF Site Summary", formerly "Rich Site Summary", sometimes called "Really Simple Syndication") please read this explanation:

PIZZA!!! (roughly 6 - 6:30)

As we discussed tody in lecture, the OSC protocol allows for complex communication to and from any device on the network and, by it address (/1-a/3, etc) and to any object within the device or application receiving it. The complete specification can be found here:

OpenSoundControl Spec 1.0

The most important section on the page tells us about address wild cards and groupings. Today we did things like:

/*/3 55

...which would send the message "55" to every "3" within every object. I mentioned that I was unclear about other methods of specifying the address so here are the answers.

* means all members

[1234] or [abc], "brackets" mean a match on each character

{23,45,56,456,1,2} comma separated groups are in curly brackets

Other methods are listed on the above-linked Spec page.

Also, I wanted to link you to some potential uses, others who are already using OSC to organize themselves and their material plus several technologies that have sprung up around it.

Some areas of use: http://opensoundcontrol.org/osc-application-areas

Hard/Soft implementations: http://opensoundcontrol.org/implementations

FLOSC: http://www.benchun.net/flosc (Flash to OSC for web interactive pieces)

Occam: http://www.mat.ucsb.edu/%7Ec.ramakr/illposed/occam.html (OSC to MIDI app)

There are hundreds of other tools floating around on the web and many implementations for commercial applications such as Live!, Max/MSP, Reaktor, and others.

Of course don't miss the monome.
