The DIY ambisonic dome 2 is a continuation of last years project by Blaž Pavlica, who experimented with spatial sound synthesis and processing. This time Blaž will experiment with synthesis of the 3D sound fields and new sound effects possible in ambisonics format with the SuperCollider programming and livecoding environment. Ambisonics is a spherical surround … Continue reading DIY ambisonic dome part 2: Live coding in ambisonics
Ambisonics is a spherical surround sound format, which in addition to the horizontal level also contains sounds above and below the perceiver. Unlike other formats, its channels do not carry signals for individual speakers, but a representation of a spherical sound field, which is independent from the number of speakers. As a result, it allows … Continue reading Blaž Pavlica: DIY ambisonic dome
Alicia Champlin provided a meditative introduction to Wednesday, inviting the participants to a cymbal sound bath. According to Thomas, who was briefly interviewed before lunch about his experience of the fourth day of PIFcamp, Alicia completely hypnotized the group. Afterwards, the visitors lay down in a meditative state, which our interviewer describes as a wonderful, … Continue reading Synths, lichens and Auto-Tune. Wednesday at PIFcamp //PIFlog, Day 4
Thursday started early for some: before 6am (5:45am!), the bravest participants gathered for coffee and tea and decided to go on a long hike into the unknown with chef Klemn. They studied the map one last time and started the hike. A good hour later, more traditionally oriented PIFcampers went on a shorter hike to … Continue reading 24 Hour PIF People //PIFlog, 5. dan
According to PIFcamp regulars, the workshop schedule on the first day filled up the fastest ever.This is perhaps not so surprising, given rapid response is encoded in the nature of live coders, who are probably the most numerous community at this year’s PIFcamp. Monday was therefore more or less spent live coding: PIFparticipants were invited … Continue reading PIFcamp is in full swing! //PIFlog, Day 2
The last day at PIF started off with preparations for a busy evening full of project presentations, performances and… a farewell Milky Way themed party! Some of the participants were racing to make the most of the day and to wrap up their projects or gather as much research materials as possible to continue their … Continue reading Last but not least…
It’s Friday?! A sultry morning started with the traditional and mandatory PIFcamp hike. Jumping into the pools of the (almost) icy cold Soča was reserved for the bravest and most heated heads. We keep their esteemed names in the editorial office! In the afternoon, the PIF members continued with their work. Rob Canning is developing … Continue reading It’s Friday!
Early in the morning, eleven PIFcampers and Dingo the dog set off on an eight-hour hike along the off-road trails of the surrounding peaks. Bernhard lost both soles in mountaineering zeal, but the brave hikers agreed upon their return that the shoes were worth destroying for the stunning view from Čisti vrh. The second group, … Continue reading Thursday at PIF!
Wednesday finally brought slightly better weather so the morning walk with Dario took place on schedule, and the harvested plants spiced up lunch and dinner. PIFcamp-goers continued to develop their projects and research: Robertina Šebjanič and Miha Godec, who are preparing a lab book for conducting aqua_forensic 2.0 workshops, have assembled a TDS sensor, which … Continue reading …less rain and more fun!
