August 20 th, Hofmann/Rapoport played the piece 15:30 at Eisfabrik Hannover.

Hofmann/Rapoport
15 : 30

oder: Wer möchte für Studiengebühren schon seine Tennisclubmitgliedschaft kündigen müssen?
für Tennis und Live-Elektronik (2005)

Aufführung vom 20.08.2011 in der Eisfabrik Hannover im Rahmen der ‘night of the unexpected’ des Musik21 Festival 2011.

Auf der Suche nach Spielarten gelangt man ohne große Umwege zum Sport: Spielfreude, Kommunikation, Mit- und Gegeneinander, Aktion und Reaktion schaffen eine dynamische Grundlage für das Spiel. Im Stück 15 : 30 beschränken sich die beiden Spieler fast ausschließlich auf die Klangerzeugung von zwei Tennisschlägern als notwendige Maßnahme zur Kulturprävention. Der Raum wird zum Spielfeld der Zuhörer wird zuschauer der schaur wird höer der hrer saur.
Klangfragmente zu untersuchen ach was Bum! Baff! Genaueres Hingucken wird nicht erfordert. Schnelles Erfassen von Sinnzusammenhängengeblieben)

Writing the Csound Floss Manual:

The idea of writing an actual guide on Csound audio-programming came up in 2009 when Joachim Heintz and I discussed way’s about teaching computer-music at HMT-Hannover. A problem to Csound was, that because of it’s long history there are hundreds of manuals, but due to an open-source software they become “out of date” very soon. 

The idea to use “floss – manuals” came up by Rory Walsh because the “booki platform” would give us the possibility of collaborative writing and the ability to update the manual whenever needed.

The process:
In spring 2010 a group of Csounders decided to start this project. The chapter outline was suggested by Joachim Heintz with suggestions and improvements provided by Richard Boulanger, Oeyvind Brandtsegg, Andrés Cabrera, Alex Hofmann, Jacob Joaquin, Iain McCurdy, Rory Walsh and others. Stefano Bonetti, Franois Pinot, Davis Pyon and Steven Yi joined later.

During the period of one year the Csound-floss was used like a “wiki”. That means, some community members were writing chapters, while others already used the content for their programming work. The experiences users made came back into the manual, because everyone can edit the chapters.

Finalisation:
In the spring of 2011 Joachim Heintz, Iain McCurdy and I (Alex Hofmann) met in Berlin for a 5 day ‘book sprint’ to achieve a level of completion to publish this first release. During this time the other team-members were still included but worked from their hometown. Communication was done with the Floss-Chat and via E-mails. Most of the empty chapters were filled with content, we tested and added examples and decided for a layout.

For the last steps we got personal support from Floss Manuals founder Adam Hyde. He helped us with the formular editor and some specific layout questions. With his guidance we were able to complete the project in a short amount of time until the very last step. A printed book!

Last weekend I received the first printed Csound-Floss-Manual, which looks fantastic! We are very proud to present this book on the international Csound conference from September 30 to October 2 2011 at HMTM Hannover.

I’d like to thank everyone, who contributed to the project and made it possible in that way! It was fantastic to work with you together. The project is still open, so if you like to add chapters, correct mistakes or like to contribute in any way feel free to to so!

Since Lyx 2.0.0 it supports writing scores directly in your document with Lilypond (2.13). I think the screenshot below says more than a hundred words.

Lyx can be downloaded and installed from: http://www.lyx.org/
Lilypond: http://lilypond.org/

On Mac OSX 10.6 it needs lilypond-book latex converter to be (installed) placed in the right folder. You find lilypond-book inside the Lilypond-package.

1.- Open a Finder window:
2.- Right-click the Lilipond package under applications and see it’s content(pic2).
3.- Go to Contents/recources/bin/lilypond-book 4. – open the terminal an follow these steps:
type: cd /usr/bin
type: sudo nano lilypond-book
-> the nano texteditor opens up:
5. type: exec (now drag the lilypond-book file from 3. into nano) finish the line with “$@”
(exec /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond-book “$@”) 6. press crtl+X,
7.say: “yes” for saving,
8.press “enter” to keep the name
type: sudo chmod u+x lilypond-book (make an executable file out of it)

Now open Lyx and press “Reconfigure”.
Open lilypond.ly from templates and check if it works now..

Nuria Schönberg-Nono talks about her father Arnold Schönberg, her life and her husband Luigi Nono.

Desire Palmen is exploring the possibilities of a human mimicry in an urban environment: She makes cotton suits and paints them in a way that allows the persons wearing the garments to perfectly match and so blend in with their background – and thus disappear also for the eyes of surveillance cameras.
