I’ve been working on a very special track for this release produced by the almighty experimental label Sinewaves.
Sinewaves have been spreading for 10 years now the most interesting music by new and old italian experimental generation of musicians, improvisers and sound designers. And all the music has always been released for free!

---

This album is something quite special. Grab it until 1st May or order one of the 100 limited CD-R copies.

---

Sixteen tracks dedicated to the 10th Sinewaves’ anniversary; sixteen artists worked to a track which was modified and remixed by another artist. Each track is the remix of the previous one.
This process allowed every musician to add or delete sounds, noises and effects, “misreading” or “misinterpreting” the previous track, just like the children’s game “broken telephone”.

---

FREE DOWNLOAD FROM 25TH APRIL TILL 1ST MAY!
THIS ALBUM WILL BE AVAILABLE IN A 100 COPIES CD-R LIMITED EDITION.

I forward a message by Chris McCormick to the Pd list.

“PdDroidParty is, I think, the easiest way to get your patches running on your Android devices. It emulates Pd native user interface elements (only toggle and slider implemented so far) so all you need to do is name your patch droidparty_main.pd and copy it to your SD card.

---

Download and install the apk from here, and then try out the drum machine example by unzipping it to your SD card:

---

This is beta software hot off the compiler, but I think it’s just ready enough for use. As always, patches welcome!

Chris.

In his memory I’m posting this awesome video (originally posted by Hans Christoph Steiner to the Pd list).

I forward this message originally posted by Simon Yuill to the Electron Club list.
I completely agree with his thoughts, and warmly suggest you to spend 3 minutes reading the open letter, to better realize what’s going on.
Thanks.

Digital arts organisations have been especially hit by the cuts in funding with many groups who are internationally recognised as important pioneers having 100% cuts. This includes Access Space in Sheffield, the longest running hacklab space in the UK who have done more than anyone here to encourage the use of Free and Open Source Software and recycled technologies amongst the arts and community media. They helped Electron Club out when we started along with a few other projects in Scotland (such as Radius who did the Glasgow Green Map project).

PERFORMANCE
Francisco López: Hyper-Rainforest
Friday-Saturday, April 28-30, 2011, 8 PM
Concert Hall
$15/10/5

---

---

World premiere of an 80 channel immersive concert based on a decade of natural sounds recorded in the world’s rain forests.

---

Rainforests are inhabited by an incredibly rich variety of sounds—much like a piece of electronic music: the astonishing variety of sounds comes from sources that are concrete yet overwhelmingly invisible.

---

Hyper-Rainforest is a monumental sound piece, both in duration and in how the sounds are projected to the Concert Hall. All music in this performance stems from field recordings—but it does not simulate the natural reality of the original locations. Instead, the work creates a sonic hyper-reality, a virtual world of sound and music that goes beyond a trip to a rainforest. The original materials are observed, analyzed, and composed to create a piece that surrounds the audience, moving deep into the sounds themselves and toward new sounds still rooted in their origins.

---

This world premiere commission was developed in residence at EMPAC.

---

Tickets are required and are available through the EMPAC box office for $15 general admission; $10 for students, seniors, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute faculty and staff; or $5 for Rensselaer students.

---

Evelyn’s Café will open at 7 PM. Parking for this event is available in the Rensselaer parking lot on College Avenue.

http://www.nycresistor.com/2011/04/07/class-pd-as-your-embeddable-audio-engine/

---

“Pd as your embedded audio engine” will teach all about embedding libpd as the sound engine for your app, whether its iPhone, Android, Java, OpenFrameworks, Processing, etc. This workshop provides a broad spectrum of different ways of connecting Pd to other things. Having hardware isn’t a requirement either. The workshop will cover ways of interfacing with Pd from computer to computer. Bring your laptop and devices that you want to install libpd on (Android, iPhone, etc.)

---

HTML and/or programming knowledge will certainly help. The aim of this workshop is to give a broad spectrum of different ways to interface to Pd. So it will be dipping very slightly into Python, C, Java, Javascript, but this is usually “glue code” and all of the code will be fully provided. You do not need to be proficient in these languages at all, the workshop will also cover methods that also just use Pd with no code at all.

---

Here is an outline of topics:

---

* Introduction
* History of Pd as an engine
* Ways to interface with a Pd process
* Midi & OSC
* FUDI
* stdout
* Python + sockets
* pdsend/pdreceive
* Parsing patches in three languages
* libpd on Android and iOS
* PdWebKitDroid
* RjDj and ScenePlayer
* WebPd

expr~ from 0xA is GOSUB10′s fourth release.

---

0xA is a band made not out of people, but objects and patches. Snippets of codes that bleep and blink are added and modified in the online repository, where it all began. As the repository grows, 0xA evolves with it. Aymeric Mansoux, Chun Lee and Olivier Laruelle are the current active contributors. They have performed 0xA across Europe, North America and Asia in galleries, clubs and festivals.

---

expr~ is the first music release of 0xA, consists of retro sounding tracks made almost entirely with the [expr~] object in Pure Data. No tweaking of number boxes and sliders, no clever generative algorithms, just switch the audio on and listen.

---

The source code for this release (implemented in Pure-data) is free software distributable under the terms of the GNU General Public License (version 3 or greater). For repository, see: http://gitorious.org/0xa

== WHATIS GOSUB10 ==

Dedicated to innovative music and audio/visuals, the GOSUB10 label will feature an eclectic group of musicians drawn together by their shared use of Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS).
Freely distributed by stream, download and special DVD releases, and made available through an open license, GOSUB10 is run by the GOTO10 collective – an international group of artists, musicians and programmers, dedicated to FLOSS and digital arts. Brought to life in a intensive four day work sprint but years in the making, the GOSUB10 netlabel is a natural extension of GOTO10′s activities supporting and promoting digital art alongside FLOSS tools through workshops, festivals, exhibitions, writing, and more.
