***THE INTERNATIONAL CSOUND CHOIR EXPECTS NEW SINGERS TO ALL VOICE GROUPS ** Please enroll!
Of course, you have to write your voice in Csound first.
Are you willing to take part in the Csound conference but can't be there? I have prepared an inter-continental interactive sound game where you can perform also sitting at home.
The piece is called "Và, pensiero", it's performance in is planned for Sunday, 27.10, concert beginning at 9:30 am (GMT -4 hrs) in Boston (see http://csound.org/schedule/). In short, one performer plays a well known choir tune on a midi keyboard on spot, the keys trigger the instruments written by the choir, the members are expected to reprogram their voices during performance and send the changes via a TCP server to a computer on spot, to be united in love and harmony in the concert hall :)
To be accepted to the choir (everybody is very welcome!!), please send me your "voice" (well, an instrument, it does not need to resemble voice per se) following some guidelines:
- please name the instrument by you - keep it reasonably simple, light and stable (no indexes out of range etc) - the instrument should receive amplitude as p4 (0..1), frequency as p5 (in Hz) and panning as p6 (0...1) - the output is stereo and the given panning should be used aL, aR pan2 ipan ; or p6 outs aL, aR
- you may use tables or global k variables for redefining values
for example:
gkVibrRate init 8 gkVibrAmp init 1.9 instr tarmo iamp = p4 ifreq = p5 ipan = p6 kenv linenr iamp,0.1,0.5,0.01 a1 poscil kenv, ifreq, -1 a2 poscil kenv*gkVibrAmp,ifreq+gkVibrRate,-1 ; create beatings like vibrato aL,aR pan2 a1+a2, ipan outs aL, aR endin
You may polish and change your instuments later!
Please let me know, which voice you would like to belong to: soprano 1, soprano 2, alto, tenore 1, tenore 2, basso.
If you cannot take part in the performance - you can still contribute your voice to the choir.
You are expected to take part in testing and discussing the project.
I will send further instructions to the choristers off-list.
Thank you! tarmo

Nice idea Tarmo, but I'll have to decline. I'm up to my eyes in preparation for my own participation at the conference. I expect a lot of people are, hence the lack of response? On 16 October 2013 21:21, Tarmo Johannes |

Hi - I completely unsterstand the situation. Indeed, very many active members of the list are very busy getting ready for the conference. And I was pretty late with my announcement, too. Most likely it is best to do this project another time, but I will decideit in the beginning of next week. I like the idea myself too - it was now meant as a small amusing game but in fact it explores the use of csound for interactive web-based co-work. Could have potential, I think. IF not to do it now - I will ask for help in more peaceful time to test, discuss etc in the future. If there is still a bunch of people who would take part and support the idea, please let me know! Let's think. best regards! tarmo On Wednesday 16 October 2013 17:42:06 Christopher Konopka wrote: > On 10/16/13 5:35 PM, Rory Walsh wrote: > > Nice idea Tarmo, but I'll have to decline.
