NIME 2011, one of the major annual international conferences on music technology, will be taking place in Oslo, hosted by the fourMs lab at The University of Oslo, Norwegian Academy of Music is Norway, NOTAM, BEK, Simula Research Laboratory, The Music Technology section at NTNU and COST Action IC0601 on Sonic Interaction Design.
Boom…stroke…aaaaeeeehhhh…swing…crash…push…beeep! We struggle to put sonic interactions into words – and that is why an exhibition with real examples of sonic interaction design is the best way to experience this new field of research. It allows you to get your hands – and ears – on interactive works that showcase how sound can facilitate interaction in product design, mobile media, communicating scientific data, interactive art, and more.
Oslo University College (OUC) has taken the initiative to establish a Nordic journal for research on and in the arts. Work on the magazine kicks off with a two-day seminar where the journal profile will be discussed. Trond Lossius at BEK will join the editorial board.
The call for NIME 2011, 11th International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical, is out. The call is also asking for contributions towards an exhibition on sonic interaction design that will be curated in collaboration with the EU COST IC0601 Action on Sonic Interaction Design (SID). The exhibition, produced by BEK, will take place at the Norwegian Museum of Science, Technology and Medicine.
A paper on Jamoma Audio Graph, a framework for audio processing, by Tim Place (74 Objects LLC, US), Trond Lossius (BEK) and Nils Peters (McGill University, CIRMMT, Ca) is presented at DAFx-10 13th International Conference on Digital Audio Effects.
Trond Lossius participates at a GDIF SpatDIF meeting at Ircam. The goal of the meeting is to advance on the GDIF-Gesture Description Interchange Format and SpatDIF-Spatial sound Description Interchange Format, discussing current issues and choices made by the different research groups working with gesture or spatialization data, and decide on further collaborative actions.
The paper A Flexible and Dynamic C++ Framework and Library for Digital Audio Signal Processing by Tim Place (74 Objects LLC, US), Trond Lossius (BEK, No) and Nils Peters (McGill University, CIRMMT, Ca) is presented at the International Computer Music Conference ICMC 2010 in New York.
The paper can be downloaded here.
September 2-5 2007 composers and researchers from Norway, France and Canada gather for a workshop on spatialisation, development and implementation of SpatDIF, and development of support for spatialisation in the Jamoma environment.
Marìa Andueza Olmedo is writhing a PhD thesis about Sound Art called “Urban Site-Specific Sound Installations”. Thanks to a grant of the NILS mobility project for researchers and artists, she will move from Madrid to Bergen for 3 months, to continue her research at BEK and at the National Academy of the Arts.
The 6th Call for Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) within COST-IC0601 Action on Sonic Interaction Design is now out. STSMs are aimed at strengthening the existing networks by allowing scientists to go to an institution or laboratory in another COST member state to foster collaboration and exchange.
Anyone interested in applying for a mission from/to BEK, please contact Trond Lossius.
