Two concerts in New York featuring Csounder Tarmo Johannes and friends
are coming up, potentially interesting to Csound people. The first one
conflicts with the upcoming NYCSUG meeting, but you are excused if you
go the concert, although the meeting is still on. The second concert
is Saturday January 7. I quote Tarmo's announcement:

Thu Jan 5 at 8:00 PM
The Firehouse Space  (246 Frost St. Brooklyn, New York)

Program:

Scott Miller “Raba” for violin, cello, percussion and fixed media
electronics (2015)
Kristjan Kõrver “Ludus Triplex V” fro piccolo, cello and celesta/piano (2015)
Tatjana Kozlova-Johannes “Love Song” for flute, violina and insruments
ad libitum (2010/2015)
Helena Tulve “Rimlands” for clarinet, cello and piano. 3rd movement:
“Pathless land”  (2012)
Heather Stebbins “And Drift” for flute, clarinet, violin, cello,
piano, percussion and 4-channel electronic playback (2015)

It is a very nice program of Estonian and American music written for
us. You might know Scott Miller - he is (or was) president of the
Society for Electro-Acoustic Music, teaching at St. Cloud University;
Heather Stebbins is a talanted younger composer based in Boston. Their
pieces involve also electronics, others are acoustical but highly
concentrated on sound.

On Jan 7 we will do our special interactive project "The audience
orchestra"  in the Scandinavian House (58 Park Avenue New York) at
7:30 PM

It is kind of social experiment about democracy in music (and in the
end we will play also some pieces). It seems similar to my sound games
but in its essence it is different -  when my sound games try really
to make music together, here we are a little bit directing the
audience to situation where they should start thinking about concepts
of concert etc. It is fun and I think a strong piece nevertheless.

Tarmo has taken over running the CsoundQt project from Andres Cabrera,
and Tarmo and I have been collaborating on maintaining and improving
CsoundQt, most recently ensuring that the HTML5 features and
JavaScript interface in CsoundQt work more or less the same way that
they do in Csound for Android and csound.node. In particular, you can
now write a Csound piece as an HTML5 page that embeds Csound, uses
WebGL and so on, and be sure that it will run not only in CsoundQt,
but also in csound.node and Csound for Android. I will be posting a
beta release of Csound including this new feature to the GitHub
releases soon.

Best,
Mike
