File under "Wha???"In an apparent attempt to appeal to the "You-Tube" generation, Stanford commissioned a series of "promotional" clips to be shown during football game televised broadcasts focusing on the technological achievements made by Stanford persons... unfortunately, CCRMA founder John Chowning's discovery of FM synthesis was one of the achievements selected.

q3osc: fully-featured osc output for ioquake3 A heavily-modded ioquake3-based performance environment with a full Open Sound Control implementation (oscpack) compiled within. q3osc tracks not only individual game-client xyz data but also tracks individual projectiles as they move through the environment. Modded features like homing projectiles and bouncing projectiles allow for more compositional choices in using the environment. q3osc Wiki page: q3osc development page on CCRMA's wiki Source code (coming soon): q3osc @ Sourceforge.net ICMC 2007 - Copenhagen, Denmark International Computer Music Conference (www.icmc2007.net) is history. Copenhagen was great but very busy:
iPaq with Java-based OSC client Using the Mysaifu JVM on an HP iPaq rx1950, with a hacked-up version of the illposed.com JavaOSC classes and demo app, I put together this little mixer interface to play with. It comes in handy for mixing 8-channel Max/MSP or Supercollider patches from the center of the hall. This is more in the light-client-as-controller use of mobile devices (especially since this iPaq is a bit slow). download .jar v0.9: ipaqOSCcontrolv0.9.jar (source to follow) download Max/MSP txt file test patch: ipaqOSCcontrolv0.9-Max_Client download PD txt file test patch (requires zexy): ipaqOSCcontrolv0.9.pd
Sea Songs by Dexter Morrill - a software recreation Dexter Morrill's classic interactive work for Soprano and Radio Baton-controlled Digitech TSR-24 real-time effects processor re-purposed as a Max/MSP-based software emulation was performed by Maureen Chowning (Soprano/Radio Baton) at CCRMA's 2007 celebration of Max Mathews' 80th Birthday on April 29, 2007. For more information: ccrma concerts page Sea Songs will also be performed Friday, June 8 by Maureen Chowning at the Institut International de Musique Electroacoustique de Bourges as part of the Bourges Festival 2007's Friday evening concert honoring Max Mathew's 50 years of computer music [link en Francais].
Maps and Legends: an FPS-based interface for Composition and Improvisation An interactive multi-channel multi-user networked system for real-time composition and improvisation built using a modified version of the Quake III gaming engine. By tracking user's positional and action data within a virtual space, and by streaming that data over UDP using OSC messages to a multi-channel Pure Data (PD) patch, users' actions in virtual space are correlated to sonic actions in a physical space. Virtual environments designed as abstract compositional maps or representative models of the user's actual physical space are investigated as means to guide and shape compositional and performance choices.

Bioinformatic Response Data as a Compositional Driver A software system using bioinformatic data recorded from a performer in real-time as a probabilistic driver for the composition and subsequent real-time generation of traditionally notated musical scores. To facilitate the generation and presentation of musical scores to a performer, the system makes use of a custom LilyPond output parser, a set of Java classes running within Cycling '74's MAX environment for data analysis and score generation, and an Atmel AT-Mega16 micro-processor capable of converting analog bioinformatic sensor data into Open Sound Control (OSC) messages.[ project link... ] ICMC 2006 Presentation (.html, formatted for Opera full-screen mode)
Triages for flute, clarinet, violin, cello, piano, electric guitar and computer Commissioned by Stanford University's CCRMA for the 2006 NewStage:CCRMA Festival. The piece was premiered on April 28th at CCRMA's Stage at the evening concert featuring works by John Chowning, Dexter Morrill and a number of CCRMA Alumni and friends. The performance was conducted by Christopher Jones and performed by Nicholas Ong (piano), Graeme Jennings (violin), Stephen Harrison (cello), Sam Williams (electric guitar), Matt Ingals (clarinet) and Emma Moon (flute).
