Hello, everyone, I just returned from the Seattle Improvised Music Festival, where I met and played music with many fine musicians. I've posted 3 of my performances at my site: two duets with Paul Hoskin (contrabass clarinet) and a solo. I used csound controlled by a wiimote and nunchuk controller. Many, many thanks to Dr. Boulanger for giving me these controllers as a gift a couple of years ago. They have helped make my playing much more responsive and expressive than my previous approach. For the duets I played in mono, for the solo I was in stereo. I hope you enjoy these. Go to: http://jolc.net/musicsite/improvs.html and look for the Seattle links. best, Lou Cohen Send bugs reports to the Sourceforge bug tracker https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=81968&atid=564599 Discussions of bugs and features can be posted here To unsubscribe, send email sympa@lists.bath.ac.uk with body "unsubscribe csound" |

Can't wait to hear these, Lou! However, the links are messed up on the page, they have HTML code embedded in them. - Dave On 2/19/2011 11:04 AM, Louis Cohen wrote: > > Hello, everyone, > > I just returned from the Seattle Improvised Music Festival, where I met > and played music with many fine musicians.

Dave, The links look fine from here, but others are complaining. From here I can't tell what's going on. Could you please go to http://jolc.net/musicsite/improvs.html and get a dump of the html on that page and send it to me? ...or maybe just refresh the page. I wonder if there's some intermediate version of the page on certain servers, and they are slowly being updated to the final version of my html. I just got a note from Enrico, who couldn't read the page earlier, but it's now fine. I haven't touched the page. Thanks for any help you can give me. -Lou On Feb 19, 2011, at 5:07 PM, Dave Seidel wrote: > Can't wait to hear these, Lou!

Hello Lou After an initial failure of the link, now I can upload mp3's fine. I would have some questions on the pieces: • What is the wiimote? • You can have some more explanation on the functioning of the live (bass clarinet and wiimote)? thanks e -- View this message in context: http://csound.1045644.n5.nabble.com/OT-live-performance-using-csound-and-wiimote-tp3392419p3392984.html Sent from the Csound - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

ENRICO, I'm glad that you can listen to the mp3s. Today I'm working on redesigning the site so that it will work with all browsers. To answer your questions: The wiimote is a Nintendo game controller. The controller is a bluetooth device which sends messages regarding the physical orientation of the wiimote. The wiimote looks like a TV remote control and can be rotated side-to-side ("roll"), or tilted up and down ("pitch"), or pointed side-to-side ("yaw"). These orientations are sent as bluetooth messages at a very high rate, and a computer with built-in bluetooth capability can receive them. In my case they are received by a utility called OSCulator, which then sends OSC messages about these positions to my csound csd. Actually the messages arrive so rapidly that my csd only uses a fraction of the incoming messages. The csd uses the position data to make sound, much like a csd might use MIDI data to make sound. The wiimote also has several buttons which the csd sees as a 1 or a 0 (button pressed or button not pressed.) My csd uses these for many purposes, including the changing of the type of sound to be produced. One button is shaped like a trigger, and I sometimes use that to start a sound when the trigger is pressed, and to stop the sound when the trigger is released. Therefore with the wiimote I can play sounds in real time and in response to other musicians. So in the duos I was making sound in real time in response to Paul Hoskin, who was playing the contrabass clarinet. We had never met and never played music together before. I think you can see that I was able to be very responsive to the clarinet player. Sometimes it might be hard to tell which is the clarinet and which is the computer, since the clarinet sounds were as unconventional as the computer sounds (multiphonics, clicks, etc.) In the solo, I was again using the wiimote and improvising in real time. There were no other instruments. But the sound might suggest that several instruments were playing at once, because my csd was able to start various processes which continued independently. I hope this answers your questions. -Lou On Feb 20, 2011, at 4:49 AM, Enrico Francioni wrote: > > > > Hello Lou > > After an initial failure of the link, now I can upload mp3's fine. > > I would have some questions on the pieces: > • What is the wiimote? > • You can have some more explanation on the functioning of the live > (bass > clarinet and wiimote)? > > thanks > > e > -- > View this message in context: http://csound.1045644.n5.nabble.com/OT-live-performance-using-csound-and-wiimote-tp3392419p3392984.html > Sent from the Csound - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > > Send bugs reports to the Sourceforge bug tracker > https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=81968&atid=564599 > Discussions of bugs and features can be posted here > To unsubscribe, send email sympa@lists.bath.ac.uk with body > "unsubscribe csound" > Send bugs reports to the Sourceforge bug tracker https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=81968&atid=564599 Discussions of bugs and features can be posted here To unsubscribe, send email sympa@lists.bath.ac.uk with body "unsubscribe csound" |

Thanks Lou! I'd like to go into even greater detail, if you can reveal them. For example: what is the code of the csd; or what is the general structure of the code csd... e |

Enrico, I'm happy to share my work. Some time ago I uploaded my project for a student of Dr. Boulanger's. That upload is still available at: http://www.jolc.net/lcpublic/berklee/ I have updated my csd in minor ways since then but I think the csd that's there is representative of how it works. I am currently using this csd with MacCsound, but it might be possible to use QuteCsound. I haven't tried that in quite awhile. It is LARGE because it includes several samples that the csd can play. The csd is rather big also, but if you have difficulty dealing with it I will be happy to explain the structure. The most important instruments are: instr 1 which reads OSC messages related to buttons instr 3 which reads OSC messages related to the orientation of the wiimote (and another device called NUNCHK, an optional Nintendo accessory). I refer to this data as "accels" because the raw data is acceleration data. However, the wiimote converts that data to positional data. instr 900 which invokes and turns off various "patches". Each patch responds somewhat differently to the wiimote, but you can see that (I hope) by reading the code. I hope you enjoy looking at and enjoying the csd. -Lou PS: I'm still working on finding a way to make the site more robust. I don't know when I'll succeed.
