[sc-users] "DSP Off-summer School 2003"

[Takeko Kawamura <tn800@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

DSP Summer School presents 
"DSP Off-summer School 2003" 
A sound and art exhibition "Robotic Music and Max/MSP/Jitter"
 

Best wishes for the New Year ! 
 

DSP Summer School offers workshops, lectures, and public presentations 
demonstrating the application of Max/MSP/Jitter in a concert and sound 
installation environment.  The 5th DSP Off-summer School will be held in 
the spring of 2003, in place of the regular summer 
course. 
 
 
In past years, the summer school has focused on software applications for 
such  things as:  sound synthesis,  video processing and  algorithmic 
composition.  The intention, this year, is to concentrate on new uses of 
hardware.  Max/MSP/Jitter will be used in conjunction with a robotics 
system.  During the workshop, a robot will be assembled using a Robot Kit.  
As an exercise, participants will be given models to build in order to 
extend their understanding of both, programming in Max/MSP and  the 
functionality of robotics systems. 

Presentations by prominent researchers and developers will be given, in 
particular with a focus on musical application.  The participant's robot 
designs and their programming with Max/MSP will be shown in public on the 
final day.  There will also be a concert featuring our own unique robot 
design on the last day.  Our new robot design is currently under 
development.

Important note: 
We are only accepting applications for the DSP Off-summer School 2003 that 
arrive on or after January 15, 2003.

DSP Off-summer School invites you to send a detailed proposal of your 
presentation.  In particular, we are interested in receiving proposals that 
incorporate robots;  robot kits; LEGO (MindStorm);  music 
machines;  sound installations;  original artistic works with humanoid 
robots.
We are looking for subjects which are related to robots and 
Max/MSP/Jitter and that demonstrate the application of robotics technology 
in the field of music.   In addition, we invite participants to give 
examples of their work, including patches  developed uniquely for managing 
image and sound through digital signal processing, 
original objects and VST plug-in, etc..
