[Miller Puckette]

Hi all,

This is somewhat relevant to Pd since the workshop during the day will
feature it -- I'll show some recent progress in Pd during the workshop...

August 17 at UCSC
August 17, 2002 - Santa Cruz
  
An annual event since 1998, Woodstockhausen (WSH) features both local
and visiting artists in a night of free sound and visual
experimentation. Fueled by the ELectron SAlon concert series and the
volunteer effort of enthusiastic individuals, WSH2002 invades UCSC's
quarry and opens with a 1-day workshop investigating new tools for music
composition and interpretation. Scientists, composers, musicians and
home-brew software developers will gather during the day at the G.U.I
Workshop ("Gesturing the UPIC   
Interface") to exchange ideas and brainstorm on UPIX, a freeware
application that "makes sounds out of drawings" (and much more...). This
workshop will be hosted by Peter Elsea, head of UCSC's Electronic Music  
Studios. At sunset, the crowd is invited to move to the open-air concert
in the quarry. Bring your blanket and food to relax and enjoy video
animations synchronized to live and recorded quadraphonic music by
selected artists from all over the States and all over the world. Genres
range from gamelan to computer compositions with a common theme:
unusual, experimental, and innovative. Thanks to our sponsors: UCSC for
the venue, BBI for the sound system, Cycling'74 for its support for
bringing Gilbert Nouno to Santa Cruz for this performance, the Rio 
Theatre for the video projector, and La Kitchen (Paris) for generating
and supporting the GUI workshop.
