New ReNoise 2.8 beta…. great new features
Renoise 2.8 - New Features (by LearnRenoise)
transmediale 2012
Transmediale 2012 is an in/compatible being. Incompatibility is the condition that arises when things are not working together. With transmediale 2012, we are investigating the productive and destructive sides of incompatibility as a fundamental condition for cultural production in times of crisis. In this context transmediale 2012 calls for a transversal approach. With our theme in/compatible we are acknowledging that there is equally the need for creative hacks and modifications, as there is a need for a refusal of the quick re-integration into business as usual. Join us here as our programme expands and of course in person at the 25th edition of the transmediale, 31 Jan – 5 Feb 2012!
Resynth v2
A very correct update of the legendary in-tracker synth experience.
No stupid heavy-metal interface to distract your imagination… 4 efficient, layered wavetable oscillators. Sounds like they are aliased at the top to avoid nyquist foldown, and at the bottom end to avoid quantisation errors.
Basically, that means killer bass source, full pressure on every pitch, and in your face leads… plus instant recombinations with RenoiseTracker envelopes, DSP FX, sequencing etc
Thats the spirit!

Thanks x1000 to Pablo Fiasco for upping these clips of a very loud and privelaged position on stage with Melt Banana. Scorpio treat, made my day!

Enter the Void
Infinite Music - Adam Harper
Adam Harper - Infinite Music - Zero Books
Adam Harper finally sees his first book published this month. I think its a very important text for composers today and in the future, and for disillusioned listeners who may feel the need to re-engage with the massive significance of music and music creation in our times.
I think there has been way too much dumbing-down or over simplification of the meaning of music making by a monstrous music industry, driven by commercial motives. There has been way too much emphasis on the aesthetic concerns of art, thereby missing the big point, of how the unhindered exploration of music space, as Adam calls it, is paramount for the continuing enhancement of many aspects of the human ability to imagine, conceive and embody ideas.
As Xenakis put it;
“For me it is always important to go to the limits, to push them, as it were, and to explore these domains which, in a sense, are beyond the aesthetical concerns of art.” Xenakis, Determinancy and Indeterminancy, Organised Sound 1996
I believe too that music creation must never become enslaved again by dancefloors, music charts or the corporate mob. Things are much better now than they were 15 years ago - lets keep it that way!
Adam’s book describes the spirit of an open-ended system of continuous, multidimensional musical complexity, based on intuition and technology, culture and community.
An extended reminder of music and modernity’s capacity to make imagination, human intensity and compassion more abundant through a unique form of sensory information, “infinite music”.
“Fantastic work from Pablo Palacio, Muriel Romero and Daniel Bisig” cv
Stocos is a transdisciplinary project that covers generative dance, stochastic sound synthesis and artificial intelligence via the design of an interactive swarm simulation. In Stocos both sound and light may interact with dance motion.
As a result, the stage becomes a responsive environment whose visual and acoustic properties emerge from the mutual interactions between dancer and simulation.

Curated by Mark Fell and Joe Gilmore. Narrated by Connie Treanor.
The fourth episode in this series introduces the idea of time and its relationship to musical practices. The show opens with thoughts about time drawn from philosophy, science and musicology and shows how these are expressed in musical form, and looks at the origins of sonic action, musical behaviors and notational systems as a way of engaging with the temporal realm. With a specific reference to the emergence of sound recording technologies – both vinyl and tape – the show examines how new technologies have impacted musical vocabularies and changed the relationship between sound, time and music. It closes with a brief look at how computer based editing has extended this paradigm and opened the way for stochastic methods of sound generation.
