Hello! Last month it came to my attention that no music players existed for the Playdate (there is Audition, but it's not made to be a music player). This didn't make sense to me, so I decided to create my own!
AWESOME! Do you have any plans on being able to stream Internet Radio stations that run off Icecast or Shoutcast? Me and my friends run a station called www.8k.nz and I'd love to be able to stream it on my Playdate when it arrives. Here's an example of the stream: :8000/radio8k_a.m3u Also, does the Playboy automatically pause any app when locked or is that possible to get around bc I think it'd be good if you can lock the Playboy while still listening to music so that I dont accidentally press any buttons To answer your .wav question, yes, you will have to downgrade to mp3 for musik to play your music. This is mainly because I'm using Playdate SDK built-in functions to handle the audio, so unless Panic adds .wav support you will have to use mp3s. Could a lock feature in the menu that requires the user to press the same button 3 times in a row to be unlocked be possible? It could also help with the battery consumption if only minutely since it'd reduce the screen updating. Sorry if my suggestions are unwanted, I'm just a big fan of music players and want this to be the best it could be. I'm also useless when it comes to coding so if anything I say is too difficult please just tell me outright. Uptown Musik and Fine Arts is proud to celebrate 11 years in the community!

Under the motto *Tracce *(Traces), the summer festival of the Accademia Musicale Chigiana will dedicate an extensive focus to Gyrgy Ligeti's music in July and August 2024.

"Outstanding": In May, Sarah Wegener performed Sieglinde in Wagner's *Walkre* at the Elbphilharmonie and the Kulturpalast Dresden to rave reviews. The production, which has already been successfully performed in Prague, Cologne and Amsterdam under the direction of Kent Nagano, will be shown for the last time in Lucerne in August. Anssi Karttunen has a special relationship with the piece he will perform at the BBC Proms on 9 August - Kaija Saariaho's *Mirage*, for which he and soprano Silja Aalto will perform together with the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Sakari Oramo. On the occasion of the new recording of Stockhausen's epochal piano work *Mantra*, Gtz Schumacher talks in an interview about the intensive relationship that has connected the GrauSchumacher Piano Duo with the work since its beginnings. In June, the fourth CD with orchestral works by Toshio Hosokawa was released on the Naxos label, including his trumpet concerto *Im Nebel*, which Jeroen Berwaerts recorded together with the Residentie Orkest under Jun Mrkl. For his new opera *Don Juan's Inferno*, which premiered at the Royal Danish Opera in April, Simon Steen-Andersen has been awarded both the Danish National Theatre Prize and the composition prize Carl Prisen. Ondřej Admek tried out a new way of composing for his new music theatre work *Connection Impossible*, which will be premiered at the Bregenz Festival on 27 July with the Ensemble Modern under the direction of the composer. On 3 June, Mariam Batsashvili was once again a guest at the Klavier Festival Ruhr. In a very personal interview with festival director Katrin Zagrosek in the run-up to the festival, she spoke about what composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach and Franz Liszt mean to her. Role debut as Sieglinde: Sarah Wegener will perform Wagner's Walkre under the baton of Kent Nagano in six major European concert halls from March 2024. In the run-up, she talks about her path to the new role and other vocal milestones of recent years. karsten witt musik management is launching a new and practice-oriented range of courses: In our kwmm Academy we provide musicians with the tools for successful self-management.

Luckily, she revolted against this order and now delights audiences with her playing on historical and modern guitars, even outside of sworn guitar circles. At the memorial concert for Kaija Saariaho, who passed away last year, Anssi Karttunen performed the cello concerto *Notes on Light *with the Orchestre de Paris under Esa-Pekka Salonen on 15 February - the concert recording is available as a video on the Philharmonie de Paris website until August. In 2026, the music world will celebrate Friedrich Cerha's 100th birthday. In view of this occasion, we would like to draw your attention to a selection of the most important works by the composer, who died in February 2023 - and to the new website friedrich-cerha.com. In the summer of 2023, Titus Engel conducted Olivier Messiaen's *Saint Franois d'Assise*, an opera that not only goes beyond the usual dimensions of the orchestra, but in Anna-Sophie Mahler's Stuttgart production also incorporated the urban space and nature as a kind of pilgrimage. A documentary about the production is now available online in the ARD media library. Lukas Ligeti is the artistic director of the World New Music Days, which took place in Africa for the first time in its centenary year 2023 - a unique opportunity for creative exchange: both the African audience and the guests from all over the world heard music they had never come into contact with before. World premiere of the year: Vito Žuraj's first full-length opera *Blhen *came to the stage in Frankfurt in early 2023 under the musical direction of Michael Wendeberg and has now been named premiere of the year by Opernwelt magazine. In our interview, Vito Žuraj talks about his collaboration with librettist Hndl Klaus, director Brigitte Fassbaender and the Ensemble Modern. The project is funded by the Crespo Foundation and takes places twice a year in Kronberg im Taunus. Collaborations with the German Music Council, Austrian organisation *Musik der Jugend*, TONALi and with the *Schweizerischer Jugendmusikwettbewerb* enable the event to take place. The works will be selected by the tutors in consultation with Kronberg Academy and sent to participants well in advance of the event. Each participant will play in at least two of the works, meaning that good preparation is essential! German painter Adolf Ziegler was appointed Senator of the Fine Arts at the Reichkulturkammer in 1935 and became the President of the Kunstkammer (Chamber of Art) in 1936. He was tasked with confiscating all degenerate art from museums and exhibitions, including works by Marc Chagall, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh. Works were curated into a display of degenerate art, the *Entartete Kunst* exhibition, in Munich in 1937. This exhibition would bring together works by Jewish artists and modernists disliked by the Nazis to encourage German hatred of these artists and styles, reaffirming Nazi cultural ideology. The exhibition featured more than 650 paintings and sculptures organised incongruently and chaotically to emphasise their offensive and confusing nature, as perceived by the Nazis. Several rooms included displays of works by Jewish artists, anti-Religious works and those that were deemed insulting to the German people. Misinformation accompanied the artworks, and slogans emphasised their degeneracy. Though the focus was on Jewish influence, only six of the 112 artists represented were Jewish. The Nazis ran a concurrent exhibition, the *Grosse deutsche Kunstausstellung* (Great German art exhibition) which displayed art approved by the Nazis, though *Entartete Kunst* was much more popular. The exhibition closed in Munich in November 1937 and toured Germany and Austria. Composers included in the exhibition included Jewish musicians, foreign artists and Modernists including Paul Hindemith, Alban Berg, Ernst Toch, Hans Eisler, Igor Stravinsky, Franz Schreker, Ernst Krenek and Kurt Weill. The exhibition presented a diverse selection of artists and genres of music linked only because they were disliked by the Nazi regime. Composers such as Hindemith and Stravinsky, who had been unsure about their place in Nazi Germany, took their inclusion in *Entartete Musik* as confirmation that they were unwelcome in the Third Reich. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Geb User Mailing List" group.
