[PD] pd-con 2011: CARILLON
Dear carillon crew, It took some time that you got the last live sign from us... sorry for that! We wanted to remind you that the deadline for your submissions for the carillon is at the end of july. As we promised we contacted the manufacturer of the carillon to ask him about the maximum repeat rate of the striking mechanism. Unfortunatelly they can't give us some useful information. Additionally we are a little concerned about the health of the carillon: Since the porcelain bells are more delicate than the usual metal or brass bells we wanted to have written specifications of the manufacturer what we can do and what we can't with the carillon – just as a liability insurance for the worst case. The worst case is certainly a bell cracking because of our music. If that happens and parts of the bell falls it will also destroy the ones under it. To be replaced a few bells over and under in the scale from the missing bell need to go to the factory in order for the one bell to be tuned correctly. All in all the costs will exceed 10.000 Euros very quickly. However the manufacturer doesn't want to give us such a specification and we now have two contrary statements: the manufacturer says that it is possible o destroy a bell through the system, the carilloneur of the city hall says it isn't. We will continue to try to get hands on a reliable specification but wanted you to know about the situation. If we can't get anything specific we must reserve the possibility to reject proposals which repeatedly strike the same bell in a short time. while “short” is for now defined by faster than the average person can do on a piano. We are really sorry, but at the moment we can't provide you more information as mentioned. We'll let you know as soon as we get new information and we'll update the Wiki-page...: http://www.uni-weimar.de/medien/wiki/PDCON:Porcelain_carillon Looking forwad to your ideas and patches, best regards moritz, frederic and max Moritz Schell MKG, Master Trierer Straße 42 99423 Weimar 0170 - 851 08 87 moritz.sch...@uni-weimar.de moritzsch...@gmx.de ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
