Subject: INTErnet GEnerated Radio From: integer@iber-online.de Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2001 23:39 +0100 (english version below) INTErnet GEnerated Radio konzertante installation f?r radio und internet URAUFF?HRUNG am 23.01.2001 um 20:30h im Abendkonzert auf SWR2 (auch ?ber das Berliner Kablenetz, Satellit und RealAudio zu empfangen!) In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Freiburger Experimentalstudio der Heinrich-Strobel-Stiftung des S?dwestrundfunks e.V. und der Berliner Firma Chemie.DE Information Service GmbH wird der S?dwestrundfunk am 23. Januar 2001 um 20:30h erstmals eine Installation des Berliner Pianisten und Komponisten Michael Iber auff?hren, die die spezifischen M?glichkeiten der beiden Medien miteinander verkn?pft: das Radio zur Klang?bertragung und das Internet zur Steuerung derselben. Je nach Teilnehmerverhalten - eine Fernsteuerung liegt unter www.integer-control.com bereit - wird zwischen 16 St?cken aus den Bereichen Barock bis Moderne hin- und hergeschaltet oder der Klangverarbeitungsmodus aktiviert. Dieser routet Klangmaterial aus den 16 St?cken durch Effekte wie Filter, Delays, Harmonizer, Combfilter. Er samplet Ausschnitte unterschiedlicher L?nge aus dem Material und spielt sie als verfremdete Loops wieder ab. Die Parameter f?r diese Aktionen werden aus den eingehenden Klicks und deren Dauer berechnet, so da? bei reger Internet-Beteiligung aus dem "klassischen Material" ein ambient-orientiertes neues St?ck generiert wird. Programmiert wurde INTEGER von Michael Iber im Experimentalstudio der Heinrich-Strobel-Stiftung mit den Softwares MAX/MSP von cycling74 und REAKTOR von Native Instruments f?r 2 Macintosh-Rechner mit ProTools-Hardware und den studioeigenen Matrixmixer. Ein eigens f?r dieses Projekt von Chemie.DE, respektive Hans Benedict und Barbara Wess programmierter Server wertet die mit Hilfe von JavaScript ermittelten Klicks aus und wandelt sie in Midi-Daten um, die dann die Freiburger Rechner steuern. Der Ausgang des Matrixmixers wird direkt in das Radionetz eingespeist, so da? zwischen den Klicks und der zu h?renden Reaktion ein minimales Zeitintervall liegt. Zus?tzlich wird das St?ck im Internet zu empfangen sein.

To get a better understanding of what is happening, the image of one tv-set controlled by several remote-controls might serve as a parable. For a further explanation of the piece see below. INTEGER was composed and programmed in 2000 by Michael Iber at the Experimentalstudio der Heinrich-Strobel-Stiftung, the electronic music studio Karlheinz Stockhausen and Luigi Nono developed major works at. Beside the specific hardware of the studio, major software programmes involved are MAX/MPS by cycling74 und REAKTOR by Native Instruments running on 2 G3-Macintosh-Computers with ProTools hardware. A new (more portable) version is currently being programmed on two Pentium-Computers running on LINUX an WINDOWS platforms, using IRCAM's jMAX, REAKTOR, and creamware's PULSAR. The internet interface was programmed by Hans Benedict and Barbara Wess using C- and java languages as well as cgi-scripts. The PIECE At the beginning of the live radio broadcast, the listener will be guided to the INTEGER homepage, where he will find a remote-control-unit with 16 programs (of classical music pieces of representative genres) to choose from and to change from the introductory Beethoven String Quartett to his favorite piece. The following rules appear: Is there only 1 program selection (click) during 10 seconds, INTEGER will switch to the selected piece. Is there only 1 click during 4 seconds, INTEGER will switch to the most selected (favorite) piece. This piece will be shown at the internet page to allow the participant to influence the poll by frequent clicking Is there more than 1 click during 4 seconds, INTEGER will switch to the sound processing modus (see below). The frequency of the clicks and their duration (holding the mouse button down) deliver the parameters of this modus. Both, frequency of all clicks and the duration of the personal clicks will be shown to the participant to enable him to learn how to control the music. A dramaturgic outline has been programmed into the piece, so certain effects can only appear at certain times. Aren't there any clicks for 4 seconds, INTEGER will switch back to the most selected piece in its original form. Assuming there are no internet participants, the radio broadcast would consist of the performance of the Beethoven String Quartett only. The central module of INTEGER is the sound processing modus. The 16 pieces will be routed through effects like filter, delays, harmonizer, comb filter. The sound processing modus samples selections of variable length and plays them back as manipulated loops. All parameters result from the clicks of the internet, which at the outmost case can lead to the mutation of classical music to an ambient oriented piece. http://www.integer-control.com http://www.swr2.de/integer http://www.michael-iber.de ------Syndicate mailinglist-------------------- Syndicate network for media culture and media art information and archive: http://www.v2.nl/syndicate to unsubscribe, write to <syndicate-request@aec.at> in the body of the msg: unsubscribe your@email.adress
