The audience has no idea what you wanted it to sound like, so they have no way to measure your satisfaction other than looking at how you seem to feel like. when doing a DJ set or an ableton set, it is hard to suck because its all pre-recorded...you can even put on a song and go to the toilet. In the early days of the Pd Montréal users group (or actually, before), there was that joke that the performer could very well be checking his email while his music plays on its own. We were talking about Pd, because one can also use Pd in this manner. We were talking about the lack of proof of the « liveness » of a performance. I love what girl talk does. he covers his laptop in saran wrap to keep drinks from killing it, and he just has everyone around him for the duration of his set. THAT is the future.

Re: [PD] Pd performance at TED
I think it is super nice that Onyx joined the list and explained himself his device. Still in the subject of performance authenticity and validation of performance... and also about audience/performer... Onyx, do you think that perhaps all these questions that were raised about what exactly you were doing would encourage you to perhaps make your performative movements and means more evident? Or do you think this is not important for your goals? The thing is, nobody asks a violin player what he's playing (as somebody mentioned a few messages ago, sorry for the lack of proper quoting here), I believe, because these traditional instruments are already within our culture, so one knows, roughly speaking, how a violin should be played and how it might sound like. However, with gestural controllers/instruments of course it is a different matter... When Onyx mentions playing at audience level, inside the club, I remembered of Dan Deacon and Girl Talk's performances which also often apply this idea, and it is interesting to observe how the audience is also curious to see what they're doing, so I guess it is a common behavior...

Re: [PD] Pd performance at TED
Jumping on the discussion (not a frequent poster, but I do follow), I must say I agree with Marco... but one question (kinda related, but at the same time isn't): what would consist, then, improvisation when using Pd? I mean, if you consider *free* improvisation the only thing I can think of, in five seconds, is live coding. However, if you think of an instrument there are also pre-given structures one must follow, that is, pitch range, playability, timbre and so on. Roughly, with traditional instruments (from western tradition) you can't go that far away from the 12-tone paradigm (of course, a few exceptions here and there with guys like Otomo Yoshihide for the guitar or Coltrane/Evan Parker for Saxophone), but then, again... what is *true *improvisation in the context of Pd, Max, whatever? I'm asking because, like I said, I do agree with Marco - recombining patterns doesn't consist of improvisation for me as well... and if improvisation in that case consists of playing notes over the riffs and patterns, why use a gestural controller?

Re: [PD] Pd performance at TED
Hi Patrice, I think you didn't get my point... I mentioned Coltrane as an example of a musician that extrapolated his own instrument from the 12-tone idea (particularly from *A Love Supreme* on). However, I think that open musical structures are a more complex subject to put it into the improvisation badge. For instance, if you take Terry Riley's In C, to name a well-known piece, its structure is fairly open, although no player improvises. This is also used in many musical pieces and it was discussed even by Umberto Eco as *open works*...* *and correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they differ from improvisation... And again, what whatever he likes mean when you're using Pd? If you're the composer *and* the performer, you're free to put whatever pleases you aesthetically but that doesn't consist of improvisation, as I see. When you design a patch in Pd you don't have *all* possibilities in your hands at any given time, and that is why I think the idea of improvisation is, perhaps, misinterpreted. I'm not postulating an ultimate truth or mentality whatsoever, I'm just.. speculating. :) Cheers!

Re: [PD] Music Made with Pd
since im am always interested in live performance of 'computer music', (all my own music is recorded live with pd+controller in a kind of dub-like way) i would of course like to know what you were doing there. some kind of slowed down samples (granular? phase vocoder?) and kind of resampling (maybe scanned synthesis?) i guess from the recording, but i would really like to know the details. Actually that is my main interest also, and that's one of the reasons why this small project Performance for One was created. But about the technical setup it was my first time ever performing live with Pd, so I kind of created an ensemble of possibilities I could work with, however limiting myself to only four channels... One of the channels deal with, yes, granular synthesis (thanks to the nqpolywrap object) using long samples from the recordings (from 20 to 60 seconds), but what makes them interesting is the range that I allow the grains to be selected from. From the grain synth to the output I have a really really simple decimator effect which I can control the mix btw. dry and wet signals. The second channel has another really simple synth based on two phasors, plus buckets full of reverb and some samphold to add dirt. The third channel is a so-called bass where I generate a random table with six values, and play them with the Monome so everytime I generate new values for the table I get new notes I'm not aware of, therefore I have to think really quick. Last but not least, the fourth channel has only one-shot samples, also taken from the recordings. I divided them into three subgroups: short (no longer than 15 seconds), long (up to 120 seconds) and hammerfluegel which is a recording of the aforementioned instrument during the Opera. Yeah, that's it. I tried to keep it really simple to avoid overwhelming my processor and to be able to control as many parameters I could with the devices. I don't know if it was clever, but it was my own way of solving it...

[PD] Working with lists
Hello all, I'm trying to figure out the best way to deal with lists in Pd but some things are still not clear. I have a table that changes its content on the fly, e.g. taking input from somewhere else and I'm using a select at a determined point to dump the table as a list of values using the [tabdump] object. Then I would like to interfere in some values in this list, either randomly or at a given position, but the fact is that since this list is a bit big (30+ values) it doesn't seem the best way to unpack it (my object would be gigantic, I think) and deal with the single values. Is there a way to change a specific value in a list without unpacking it in the first place?

[PD] Retrieving MIDI Notes out of MIDI Numbers
Hello People, this is my first post in this list so far, even though I've been playing around with Puredata for a couple of months... and I've been only recently on the list and I have to say that I'm learning a lot with you :) I'm sorry if this is somehow a newbie question (I'm forever a newbie), but I searched for it and perhaps found the answer on Pd's forum, which is offline... so here it goes: is there an object, or maybe an abstraction, to retrieve a MIDI Note's name out of its MIDI Value? For instance, a 60 would retrieve me C4 (roughly speaking) and so on? I think that MAX has such object, but maybe I'm missing something in Pd's documentation... thanks in advance! -- Pedro Oliveira www.partidoalto.net soundcloud.com/iburiedpaul ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
