January & February 2014 activity

The Segment-D course was successfully completed with the presentation of practical SSMN applications by the participants. Their feedback was vital for the continuation of SSMN R&D.

A paper re. SSMN was submitted for publication at the end of the year. It is presently undergoing peer review.

A brief talk updating the state of SSMN activity and its future (SSMN II) was presented at the monthly ICST meetings. We expect to move ahead and improve the prototype to include new functionalities (3D, effects, integration capacities with other software, MusicXML & SpatDif output).

SSMN Spatialization Symbolic Musical Notation

Dozenten: Emile Ellberger / Johannes Schütt

======================================================

This course is intended for composers, musicians, actors, dancers, choreographers, performance artists, sound engineers, motion-analysis researchers, multimedia artists, psychoacousticians, musicologists.

 

In musical thinking the concept of sound in space is a fundamental requirement. In the description of such premises we often lack the terminology to describe and implement them. 

 

The SNF / ICST research project “SSMN” deals precisely with these issues and their challenges, namely how to manage various aspects of sound spatialization within the performance space. Thanks to the developed software tools as well as a taxonomy and graphical symbols, the notation in a musical score and its spatialization in 3D sound space is now possible. Results arising from the SSMN project shall be demonstrated and incorporated within practical exercises. The course will take on  the character of a workshop.

 

 

Hardware Requirements: Macintosh laptop users (OSX 10.7 +) and headphones

======================================================

The dates of the sessions will be determined at an initial meeting which will be announced in early September.

======================================================

Dieser Kurs richtet sich an: Komponisten, Musiker, Schauspieler, Tänzer, Choreographen, Performancekünstler, Tonmeister, Researcher in movement Analysis, Medienkünstler, Psychoakustiker, Musikwissenschaftler.

Im musikalischen Denken ist die Räumlichkeit eine fundamentale Voraussetzung. In der Beschreibung jener Räumlichkeiten fehlt uns oft die Begrifflichkeit, um sie zu beschreiben und umzusetzen.

Das SNF/ICST Forschungsprojekt “SSMN” beschäftigt sich genau mit diesen Fragen und Herausforderungen, d.h. mit dem Versuch der Konkretisierung der Vorstellung im Klangraum. Mit den erarbeiteten Software-Tools, einer Taxonomie und grafischen Symbolen ist die Notation von Gesten und deren Spatialisation im 3D-Klangraum in einer musikalischen Partitur möglich. Es werden Wege und Resultate, die aus dem Forschungsprojekt SSMN resultieren, diskutiert und aufgezeigt. Der Kurs hat Werkstattcharakter.


Voraussetzungen: Macintosh-Laptop (OSX 10.7+), Kopfhörer

Ce cours s’adresse aux compositeurs, musiciens, acteurs, danseurs, chorégraphes, artistes de performance, ingénieurs du son, chercheurs en analyse du mouvement, artistes multimédia, psychoacousticiens, musicologues.

 

La réflexion musicale de l’espace est une exigence fondamentale. Dans la description de l’espace sonore, nous manquons souvent la terminologie pour la décrire et la mettre en œuvre.

 

Le projet de recherche “SSMN” (SNF/ICST) concerne précisément ces enjeux et défis, notamment

comment, entre autre, gérer divers aspects de la spatialisation sonore en salle de spectacle. Grace aux outils développés (des logiciels liés à la taxonomie de l’espace et ses symbole graphiques, la notation des gestes et leur spatialisation dans l’espace sonore 3D dans une partition musicale) est dorénavant possible. Les moyens et résultats découlant du projet SSMN sont démontrés et incorporés à travers des travaux pratiques. Le cours prends le caractère d’atelier.

 

Matériel requis: Macintosh portable (OSX 10.7 +) avec écouteurs

 

======================================================

Info

Les dates des sessions seront définis lors de la première rencontre, laquelle sera annoncé à la rentrée (début Septembre.
