I arrived in Paris today for a two week visit to Ircam. I have been granted a short term scientific mission (STSM) within The COST IC0601 Action on Sonic Interaction Design (SID), and will be working with the real time musical interactions team at Ircam; Frederic Bevilacqua, Diemo Schwarz and Norbert Schnell.
We kick-started the collaboration with a workshop at BEK in March. The workshop was led by Diemo Schwarz, and offered an introduction to FTM , Gabor, MnM, Suivi and CataRT.
The plan is to investigate how FTM and Jamoma can be integrated, or more specifically, how FTM can be used to develop solutions for advanced control of Jamoma modules.
I have been offered to stay at the Didascalie studios while I’m here, which greatly helps reducing living expenses. I also expect to be spending some time with members of Didascalie catching up on what they are working on, and in particular their work within the Virage plattform.
There is quite a bit of overlap in the aims of development going on within Virage and my own ambitions for the stay at Ircam, and I think there might be benefits from being able to discuss the two in parallel.
The SID project encourage STSM participants to blog on their activities during the visit, and I’ll do my best.
