SUMMARY:Andrew Leggo: Designing Instruments
DESCRIPTION:You can learn the basics of building a musical instrument at a Summer camp. Just Google “straw flute” and you’ll build a flute in 5 minutes. But designing an instrument that others want to play\, now\, this is hard. Most musicians are not looking for a new instrument\, and it’s a difficult task to convince them otherwise. After spending 10\,000 hours practicing\, professional musicians are not necessarily looking to start all over again. \nAndrew Leggo started designing instruments shortly after graduating in the early 1980s. He was one of the designers behind the Roland AX-1 Keytar and has also designed studio equipment\, mixing consoles\, digital pianos and percussion controllers. \n \nIn this talk\, Andrew shares his lifelong learnings as a creative designer\, and the multiple parameters that one has to consider when designing an instrument. \nJoin Andrew live on 7th September\, and ask questions on the chat! \n \n

SUMMARY:Audio chips\, e-textiles\, touch interfaces: 40 years of computer music research
DESCRIPTION:Adrian Freed is the former Research Director of UC Berkeley’s CNMAT\, the historical Californian research centre led for over two decades by the late David Wessel. At CNMAT\, Adrian led a number of influential projects on computer music\, including the widely used Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol\, developed with Matt Wright. \nAdrian published his first paper in 1975\, at a time where computers were out of reach\, and he started hacking with digital and analog chips. As technology progressed\, he worked on the Fairlight CMI and powerful processors for the time\, that would cost less than $10 today. He dedicated his research to the new field of computer music\, and went on to build systems ranging from analog designs to e-textiles. \nIn this talk\, we’ll hear from Adrian’s long career\, and the exciting new project he is working on\, the FingerPhone. \n

SUMMARY:SWAM: software instruments that sound real
DESCRIPTION: \nSound designer and musician Stefano Lucato started creating solo string libraries in 2003\, and has been on a quest ever since to create the most accurate reproduction of acoustic instrument sounds\, to be available in plug-in format. He teamed up with software developer Emanuele Parravicini to build a technology that they used together to release software versions of nearly all orchestral instruments. \n \nStefano and Emanuele created Audio Modeling in 2017\, and run the business from a small village in Lombardy\, Italy\, between Milan and Lake Como. Their software instruments are used all over the world by composers and producers in the studio\, as well as live. \nOn the 18th June\, I will interview Emanuele Parravicini about Audio Modeling’s journey and projects\, and we’ll hear demonstrations of the instruments live. Tune in on Facebook and YouTube. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Georgina Brett: live looping vocals
DESCRIPTION:In this online session Georgina will talk about the conception and actualisation of each piece she performs\, the various methods of composition she uses. With a very simple set up she creates complex rolling matrices of vocalisations and lyrics.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGeorgina Brett’s music is created using her voice and effects pedals\, creating instant choirs of sound\, often in an hypnotic style. The point of this music is not only to captivate with extraordinary timing and melodic style but also to help the listener to relax\, in our ever-increasingly distracted world. Her double album Nonsense A and Nonsense B is of purely vocal works with no ‘deliberate’ words or lyrics. The albums show the voice as an instrument\, and as a vehicle for emotional expression. “So much music is made in order to make us feel something so as to manipulate us to buy or to follow.. this album let’s your thoughts be whatever they want to be.” The albums also play with the idea that we like to interpret\, constantly listening for meaning instead of just listening.

SUMMARY:David Zicarelli: Fun with Complexity using MC in Max
DESCRIPTION:The patches demonstrated in this video are available here\n\nMaking and controlling complex sounds on a computer where hundreds of events are happening simultaneously can be hard work. Aren’t computers supposed to make doing complex things easier? Max has a new feature called MC that can make it fun and easy to work with large numbers of simultaneous events and audio channels. You don’t need a multichannel audio system to play with MC. All the examples shown work in mono or stereo.\n\n\nWhat is MC?\n\n\nMC stands for Multi-Channel and is a way to encapsulate many audio channels\, and manipulate them together. This is a very useful replacement for projects that have multiple channels of audio and require unique representations and flows for each of them. Check out below David’s presentation of MC at Loop in 2019.\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nAbout David Zicarelli\nDavid is the founder and CEO of Cycling’74\, makers of Max. David founded Cycling’74 in 1997 to commercialise Max\, a programming language that had been invented at IRCAM in 1985\, and licensed to Opcode for commercialisation in 1989. David worked then at Opcode and acquired the publishing rights to the software in 1997. Max grew an audience in more than 3 decades\, in education and as a tool for artists. In 2007\, Ableton and Cycling’74 announced Max for Live\, the integration of Max into Live\, allowing Ableton Live users to use Max patches in their workflow.  Cycling’74 was then acquired by Ableton in 2017\, and Max for Live is seeing a lot of improvements since\, opening up possibilities for long time Max users to find new audiences among the Live user base.

SUMMARY:Amy Dickens: Inclusive Design for Digital Musical Instruments
DESCRIPTION:The 21st May 2020 is Global Accessibility Awareness Day. To celebrate this\, we are exploring in our live-stream today the design practices to help make musical instruments (hardware and software) more accessible. To find out more about GAAD\, please check their website. \nShould we make instruments easier to play? This is a question that might divide professional musicians\, who have acquired their skills through hardship. But for everyone else\, there is little doubt that the fun should start as soon as we engage with an instrument. Making instruments easier to play is also a critical issue for people with disabilities ranging from limited mobility to visual impairment. So\, if you’re thinking of making an instrument\, why not consider lowering the barriers of playing them? \nIn this talk\, Amy Dickens will shed light on the inclusive design practices for Digital Musical Instruments\,  and how to make music accessible to everyone. Amy will walk us through some of the standards and best practices for accessibility\, as well as design considerations for music technology of all kinds. For those wanting to take part at the end of the session there will be an activity in designing some digital musical instruments for different levels of ability. \nAbout Amy Dickens:\nAmy Dickens is an accessibility ambassador\, Developer Advocate\, and researcher at The Mixed Reality Laboratory\, UK. As well as being an audio engineer and musician\, over the past five years Amy has been conducting research into accessible music technologies. Currently living in London with partner and Jack Russell (Moo Bean)\, Amy is working on producing a framework for accessible musical experiences and finishing their all important PhD Thesis. \nOn the subject of accessibility and music\, check out also the great work of charity organisation Drake Music.

SUMMARY:Tweakable: a online programming environment for music and video
DESCRIPTION:We cover Max/MSP and Jitter a lot\, as it is the most popular visual programming environment\, especially if you want to hack audio and video in your own way. But it isn’t the only visual programming language out there. We found out recently about Tweakable\, and it turns out to be quite remarkable. \nFirst\, it is entirely online. No downloads\, no sign-up\, the URL above takes you directly to a web page\, where Tweakable runs. You might think that you are launching a video when you click on the usual triangle\, but in fact you’re turning the engine on\, and everything turns out to be editable. And you can build a user interface\, too! \nI’ve managed to extract an example with Julian’s help\, see below. The original patch is available here. \n[Update] Julian has added a share option that exports the code of a patch for easy embed. Wow. \n\nTweakable has a collection of simple examples to get you started\, such as the one above\, and it can get pretty complex. It’s made for musical applications so it has examples of algorithmic compositions\, canon\, fugue\, jazz etc. \nIt gets better. It also supports video\, through a similar patching system. The possibilities are super interesting. You can design your own audio/video project and encapsulate it onto your webpage\, and visitors can also experiment with it. \n\nThe author of this software is Julian Woodward.

SUMMARY:Kate Stone: interactive surfaces for music
DESCRIPTION:Kate Stone is the founder and CEO of Novalia\, a UK-based company whose mission is to create “magical” interactions. Magical is the word Kate uses to explain that she aims to hide the technology away\, and augment our analog interaction with the world with subtle and meaningful improvements. Imagine a musical instrument\, a clarinet\, say\, equipped with invisible sensors and bluetooth chip\, capturing the musician’s gestures to control video\, or audio effects. Or a printed piece of paper with conductive ink that triggers sound. \nKate imagines a world that is more like Harry Potter than Minority Report. And although she claims she’s not a musician\, most of her work revolves around music. From the McTrax she built for McDonalds to DJ Qbert’s album cover\, music interactions seem to be the perfect home for her technologies. And for the past year\, she’s been chair of the board of the MIDI Manufacturers Association. \nKate will be live-streaming on May 14th at 6:30pm UK time on our channel on YouTube and Facebook. \n \n

SUMMARY:Ocean: a new online & collaborative sequencer
DESCRIPTION:In this 8th live-stream\, we hosted Robin Hunter who has recently launched a collaborative\, online sequencer running in the browser: Ocean. \n \nOnline collaboration for music makers has fuelled many dreams over the past 20 years\, but many of them have turned into nightmares. From Rocket Networks (acquired by AVID in 2003) to LL Cool J’s Boomdizzle or Ohm Force’s ambitious Ohm Studio\, many have tried to make it easy to collaborate online. Bandlab and Soundtrap seem to be doing quite well however and betting on growing large audiences\, in particular by targeting education. \nOcean is following on those footsteps with a very simple interface exempt of the jargon and complexity that we see in audio workstations. It’s designed to get people started immediately\, and features a fun collaboration approach that makes it a good experience. There are much more features that will be needed before anyone can make a song with Ocean\, but it’s a great first step. For those of you in education\, or in lockdown with kids\, have a try\, it’s free! \n
