I see that Stanford Univerity's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA)is having its winter concert this Friday. I've not been to any of their performances before, but plan to go, if anyone wants to meetup. Here are some interesting tecnical tidbits (more at http://www-ccrma.stanford.edu/events/concerts/20010316/#S-Trance-S) "Crossings" looks like the most immediately loop-related performance. stephen - Oranged - ...This piece was composed using Frequency Modulation and only Common Lisp Music on Linux at CCRMA.... - Fabrication for trumpet and electronics - Music for Hi-Hat and Computer Technically, the computer tracks parameters of the hi-hat, such as pitch, amplitude, spectrum, density, rests, articulation, tempi, etc, and uses this information to trigger specific electronic events, and to continuously control all the computer sound output by directly controlling the digital synthesis algorithms - Crossings for solo guitar and live electronics Crossings also uses a live sampling technique -- in which a series of patterns are captured into a recorded loop and repeated back -- allowing the soloist to play an additional melodic layer while the sampled pattern continues. S-Trance-S for metasaxophone S-Trance-S (2001) explores instrumental transduction between "real" and physically modelled instruments. The metasaxophone controls the transformation between three instruments: the acoustic saxophone, a string physical model created by Stefania Serafin and here played by the metasaxophone controllers, and acoustic bowed string timbres played by the computer UNI for Radio Drum and tactex pad UNI is a new piece created by the performers that integrates realtime performance of both sound and images in a structured improvisation. It has only recently become possible to "play" images in realtime...Sound material is gathered from these clips and other sources, and processed using Max/MSP. ===== Stephen __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
