Python 2.6 is required for running athenaCL. http://www.flexatone.net/concert.html#untold Fri, 30 Oct 2009 00:00:01 GMT This composition sets Walt Whitman's text, "Carol of Words," for solo voice and eight-channel live electronics. Versions of this text were published in 1856 and later under the titles "Poem of The Sayers of the Words of The Earth," "To the Sayers of Words," and "A Song of the Rolling Earth." This composition is the first setting of the complete text. The text is deployed as improvisatory spoken word, composed rhythmitized speech, and song. The signal of the voice, captured by a microphone, is used to trigger, process, and transform the sounds of the voice and synthetic timbres. This electronic accompaniment, dynamically allocated to eight channels, supports, contrasts, and overwhelms the voice. Performance and interpretation by Gerald Philips. http://www.flexatone.net/portico.html#news Fri, 26 Jun 2009 00:00:01 GMT My new article, "Interrogator as Critic: The Turing Test and the Evaluation of Generative Music Systems," is now available in the Computer Music Journal. http://www.flexatone.net/consumable.html#telequalia Fri, 27 Mar 2009 00:00:01 GMT The telequalia offers digital word-paintings of computer-rendered readings. Employing excerpts from classic, public-domain texts from the Project Gutenberg, environmental sounds from The Freesound Project, and ambient and algorithmic textures created with athenaCL, telequalia is an experimental, algorithmic, computer-generated podcast.

This project employs processed (creatively transformed) sounds drawn from The Freesound Project. These sounds are used under the terms of the Creative Commons Sampling Plus 1.0 license, where the following links serve as attribution for the original source sounds.

All electronic sounds are derived from the real-time signal of the bass clarinet. The signal, captured by a microphone and divided into three frequency bands, is treated by fourteen processors under dynamic algorithmic control. Each processor creates transformed signals based on the source signal, source signal events, and source signal amplitude contours. Output of these processors is dynamically allocated to eight outputs. The title of this composition is taken from Allen Ginsberg's 1958 poem "Europe! Europe!" In the context of this piece, the notion of endless ladders refers to both the pitch material and the real-time signal processing system. The pitch material makes use of sieves, a generative technique developed by Iannis Xenakis for creating ladder-like pitch space structures. The signal processing makes extensive of use of dynamic delays and feedback processors, creating ladder-like temporal structures. http://www.flexatone.net/portico.html#news Mon, 04 Aug 2008 00:00:01 GMT My new article, "Python at the Control Rate: athenaCL Generators as Csound Signals," is now available from the Csound Journal. http://www.flexatone.net/portico.html#news Wed, 30 Jul 2008 00:00:01 GMT KIOKU's premier CD, Both Far and Near, has received some a number of reviews.
