[PD-announce] FW: [ STEIM ] Lecture - Developing a live interaction model for celloand computer with Pure Data

[Anton Woldhek]

STEIM presents on Wednesday June 15 at 20:00h:


Florian Grote, Andreas Otto (Pingipung, Germany) - Developing a live
interaction model for cello and computer (Pure Data)


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.

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.
