 +"...one about creating/composing/producing a song with GNU/Linux (which will actually be a presentation of my workflow with practical examples)..."
 +
 +> Abstract sent:
 +>> The GNU/Linux audio environment is very much based on modularity as opposed to the monolithic approach on other platforms. As a result the GNU/Linux audio environment is very flexible and can be considered more an extension of an analogue set up with its intrinsic pros and cons. This is a totally different paradigm than used on other platforms so musicians coming from those other platforms can have a hard time adapting to the GNU/Linux modular approach. The aim of this workshop is to show by the use of a musician's workflow how you can benefit from the countless possibilities such a modular environment has to offer.  --- //[[jeremy@autostatic.com|Jeremy Jongepier]] 2011/02/21 14:14//

 +He offered a second workshop on Jan 19th on "configuring your system for low-latency real-time audio processing". Abstract to be sent.
 +
 +> Abstract sent:
 +>> Just installing GNU/Linux and a real-time kernel doesn't turn your system in a real-time low latency environment at once. A properly configured system demands some more modifications to what most distributions set up by default. And in a lot of cases a real-time kernel isn't even necessary. So besides going through some of the most important ways to improve the performance of your system this workshop may also debunk some tenacious myths.  --- //[[jeremy@autostatic.com|Jeremy Jongepier]] 2011/02/21 14:12//

 +==== Airtime ====
  
 +Daniel James offers a workshop on 'DIY Radio Station Storage, Scheduling and Streaming with Airtime', see the [[http://www.sourcefabric.org/en/products/airtime_overview/|Airtime homepage]] for background.

 +
 +==== din ====
 +
 +din is a free software musical instrument that uses Bezier curves for waveforms, gating, fm & am, delays and fx.  Originally designed to play Indian classical music using the computer mouse like a bow it is now moving steadily towards a general purpose sound composition environment (live visual sound editing + Tcl scripting, IRC bot control etc).  I (S Jagannathan, jagernot@gmail.com) have been developing this project for the last 4 years and hope to conduct a workshop and present if possible along with Pure Data / CSound / Super Collider presenters at LAC 2011:

 +==== Transmittance ====
 +
 +We (Wanda & Nova deViator / Maja Delak & Luka Princic) are offering to present (in a form of presentation with some practical demonstration - max 1 hour) our latest research and development of multimedia and performance work, all based on FLOSS. Here's an abstract about project "Transmittance":
 +
 +>Transmittance explores artistic and scientific collaboration which is local, global, networked and broadcasted. It aims to research performative possibilities of streaming, broadcasting and telepresence forging new types of performance and audience with focus on critical and socially aware artistic languages.
 +
 +>A Transmittance context: Free streaming technology and telepresence software opened a possibility for new affordable spaces for performance. In late capitalism we are bombarded with images of body. We are manipulated with the notions of freedom and pleasure through the visual. It's an environment that increasingly segregates people by way of ethically questionable free market logic principles. Free software and open standards encourage innovation, cooperation and solidarity in developed and developing world.
 +
 +>Processing of the audio/visual and the corporeal on a stage is an important strategy to subvert the numbing and blinding effects of contemporary life. Let's invent our own ways how to position our perceptions of self in relation to freedom, pleasure and society of (promised) wealth. Let's open new spaces of visibility for performance and new media art. We need to actively bypass power structures that have a hold on physical spaces of artistic representation. Let's forge connections to new online audiences and collide different specifics of various artistic media.
 +
 +The project's page is not up, so mainly these for now: \\

 +[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWczaBwUqbE|youtube.com/watch?v=JWczaBwUqbE]]
 +
 +This will not include a scientific paper, so it should be regarded similar to a workshop.
