A paper on Jamoma Audio Graph, a framework for audio processing, by Tim Place (74 Objects LLC, US), Trond Lossius (BEK) and Nils Peters (McGill University, CIRMMT, Ca) is presented at DAFx-10 13th International Conference on Digital Audio Effects.

Jamoma is a platform for interactive art-based research and performance. It consists of several parallell development efforts.

Thuesday 28. September – Friday 1. Octobre BEK invites musicians, programmers and composers to a four-days workshop focusing on the software MODALITY. It’s free to attend, but you have to cover your own travel and stay.

Later in September and Octobre Jeff will be back for more composing, more software writing, and in charge of Dipole, two main workshops at BEK this fall.

The paper A Flexible and Dynamic C++ Framework and Library for Digital Audio Signal Processing by Tim Place (74 Objects LLC, US), Trond Lossius (BEK, No) and Nils Peters (McGill University, CIRMMT, Ca) is presented at the International Computer Music Conference ICMC 2010 in New York.

ComputerMusic4Kids is an interactive installation for kids, inviting them to explore the history and sound of gaming consoles. The installation is included in the Bajazz Festival, Saturday the 17th and Sunday the 18th of April

Moviestar is an interactive installation by Marieke Verbiesen & Neeltje Sprengers. The installation moulds old and new media together in order to create a reallife moving filmset. Classic 16mm film, animation, robotics, sound and motiontracking are used to simulate a real life filmset where visitors play the mainrole.

The SOUND AND SPACE workshop, tailored to sound and media artists, sound designers, musicians and composers, will investigate the expressive potential offered by spatialisation (virtual positioning of sound in space) and will allow participants to gain practical and artistic experience with state of the art solutions for work on spatial sound in artistic contexts.

ComputerMusic4Kids is an interactive installation for kids, inviting them to explore the history and sound of gaming consoles. The installation is included in the “Avgarde special” Saturday 5. of December.
