class=Apple-style-span face=Arial>Florian Grote and Andreas Otto from the German
Pingipung label have been working at STEIM to develop a software instrument
which is solely controlled by the sound of a cello. The tool, constructed in
Pure Data, 'listens' to what the cellist plays and converts the rich amount of
timbral and dynamic information to control data utilizing methods of pitch
detection, volume-, and time-analysis. In this manner a duet of the mechanical
and the digital instrument is evolving, capable of a variety of expressions;
generating sounds that reach from a bleepy unisono voice to ambient pads and
stumbling feedback-cascades. The digital instrument turns the cellist into a
listener as well, thus human and computer logic as musical means control one
another.</FONT></FONT><FONT class=Apple-style-span color=#000000><FONT

class=Apple-style-span face=Arial>Working with Pure Data as an upcoming open
source utility, the lecture of the two musicians will be discussing the
programming methods transparently, including a multichannel live demonstration.
The target of the project is to use the instrument for different kinds of
compositions and to make it available to other musicians, on practically all
instruments, on all platforms.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
