A Synchronous Programming in Audio Processing: A Lookup Table Oscillator Case Study KARIM BARKATI and PIERRE JOUVELOT, CRI, Mathématiques et systèmes, MINES ParisTech, France The adequacy of a programming language to a given software project or application domain is often con- sidered a key factor of success in software development and engineering, even though little theoretical or practical information is readily available to help make an informed decision. In this paper, we address a particular version of this issue by comparing the adequacy of general-purpose synchronous programming languages to more domain-specific

  • Chuck: a Strongly Timed Computer Music Language
    Ge Wang,∗ Perry R. Cook,† ChucK: A Strongly Timed and Spencer Salazar∗ ∗Center for Computer Research in Music Computer Music Language and Acoustics (CCRMA) Stanford University 660 Lomita Drive, Stanford, California 94306, USA {ge, spencer}@ccrma.stanford.edu †Department of Computer Science Princeton University 35 Olden Street, Princeton, New Jersey 08540, USA [email protected] Abstract: ChucK is a programming language designed for computer music. It aims to be expressive and straightforward to read and write with respect to time and concurrency, and to provide a platform for precise audio synthesis and analysis and for rapid experimentation in computer music. In particular, ChucK defines the notion of a strongly timed audio programming language, comprising a versatile time-based programming model that allows programmers to flexibly and precisely control the flow of time in code and use the keyword now as a time-aware control construct, and gives programmers the ability to use the timing mechanism to realize sample-accurate concurrent programming. Several case studies are presented that illustrate the workings, properties, and personality of the language. We also discuss applications of ChucK in laptop orchestras, computer music pedagogy, and mobile music instruments. Properties and affordances of the language and its future directions are outlined. What Is ChucK? form the notion of a strongly timed computer music programming language. ChucK (Wang 2008) is a computer music program- ming language.

One impressive campaign is December 18th4: at the motto of FREE THE SHMINISTIM“ young conscious objectors (among them also the daughter of a former deputy head of Mossad) stepped forward and refused to serve the omnipresent militarization of Israel, the country where they are born and that still forces them to serve IDF for 2 to 3 years. Since 20 years now (and finally) we had abolition of coercive military service for youth in Europe: this is definitely one of the most important political standpoints for Israel to work on, if it intends to get closer to Europe.

  • Implementing Stochastic Synthesis for Supercollider and Iphone
    Implementing stochastic synthesis for SuperCollider and iPhone Nick Collins Department of Informatics, University of Sussex, UK N [dot] Collins ]at[ sussex [dot] ac [dot] uk - http://www.cogs.susx.ac.uk/users/nc81/index.html Proceedings of the Xenakis International Symposium Southbank Centre, London, 1-3 April 2011 - www.gold.ac.uk/ccmc/xenakis-international-symposium This article reflects on Xenakis' contribution to sound synthesis, and explores practical tools for music making touched by his ideas on stochastic waveform generation. Implementations of the GENDYN algorithm for the SuperCollider audio programming language and in an iPhone app will be discussed. Some technical specifics will be reported without overburdening the exposition, including original directions in computer music research inspired by his ideas. The mass exposure of the iGendyn iPhone app in particular has provided a chance to reach a wider audience. Stochastic construction in music can apply at many timescales, and Xenakis was intrigued by the possibility of compositional unification through simultaneous engagement at multiple levels. In General Dynamic Stochastic Synthesis Xenakis found a potent way to extend stochastic music to the sample level in digital sound synthesis (Xenakis 1992, Serra 1993, Roads 1996, Hoffmann 2000, Harley 2004, Brown 2005, Luque 2006, Collins 2008, Luque 2009). In the central algorithm, samples are specified as a result of breakpoint interpolation synthesis (Roads 1996), where breakpoint positions in time and amplitude are subject to probabilistic perturbation. Random walks (up to second order) are followed with respect to various probability distributions for perturbation size. Figure 1 illustrates this for a single breakpoint; a full GENDYN implementation would allow a set of breakpoints, with each breakpoint in the set updated by individual perturbations each cycle.

  • The Viability of the Web Browser As a Computer Music Platform
    Lonce Wyse and Srikumar Subramanian The Viability of the Web Communications and New Media Department National University of Singapore Blk AS6, #03-41 Browser as a Computer 11 Computing Drive Singapore 117416 Music Platform [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: The computer music community has historically pushed the boundaries of technologies for music-making, using and developing cutting-edge computing, communication, and interfaces in a wide variety of creative practices to meet exacting standards of quality. Several separate systems and protocols have been developed to serve this community, such as Max/MSP and Pd for synthesis and teaching, JackTrip for networked audio, MIDI/OSC for communication, as well as Max/MSP and TouchOSC for interface design, to name a few. With the still-nascent Web Audio API standard and related technologies, we are now, more than ever, seeing an increase in these capabilities and their integration in a single ubiquitous platform: the Web browser. In this article, we examine the suitability of the Web browser as a computer music platform in critical aspects of audio synthesis, timing, I/O, and communication. We focus on the new Web Audio API and situate it in the context of associated technologies to understand how well they together can be expected to meet the musical, computational, and development needs of the computer music community. We identify timing and extensibility as two key areas that still need work in order to meet those needs. To date, despite the work of a few intrepid musical Why would musicians care about working in explorers, the Web browser platform has not been the browser, a platform not specifically designed widely considered as a viable platform for the de- for computer music? Max/MSP is an example of a velopment of computer music.

Formazione “Hands-On” con Sam Aaron “Imagine if the only allowed use of reading and writing was to make legal documents. Would that be a nice world? Now, today’s programmers are all like that”1. In questa immagine enigmatica e un po’ provocatoria proposta da Sam Aaron nelle prime fasi di una sua recente conferenza è racchiusa un’originale visione della programmazione ricca di implicazioni, e non solo per l’educazione musicale. Ma andiamo con ordine: il 14 febbraio 2020, all’Opificio Golinelli di Bologna, Sam Aaron, ​ ​ creatore del software per live coding musicale Sonic Pi, è stato protagonista di un denso ​ ​ pomeriggio dedicato al pensiero computazionale nella musica intitolato “Rock around Sonic Pi”. L’iniziativa rientrava nell’ambito della “Formazione Hands-On” promossa dal Future Lab dell’Istituto Comprensivo di Ozzano dell’Emilia in collaborazione con il Servizio Marconi TSI ​ dell’USR-ER. Oltre alla menzionata conferenza, aperta a tutti, Sam Aaron ha tenuto un laboratorio di tre ore a numero chiuso per i docenti delle scuole2. ● Presentazione e programma dettagliato della giornata “Rock Around Sonic Pi” (presentazione a cura ​ di Rosa Maria Caffio). ● Ripresa integrale della conferenza di Sam Aaron (20.2.2020) (registrazione a cura dello staff ​ dell’Opificio Golinelli). 1 “Immaginate che l’unico modo consentito di usare la lettura e la scrittura fosse quello di produrre documenti legali. Sarebbe un bel mondo? Ora, i programmatori di oggi sono nella stessa situazione”.
