Next week’s pd-LAunch II events will be held at CRASH Space - 10526 Venice Blvd, Culver City, 90232.
Saturday, May 12 at 8 PM - Handmade Music - not *exactly* a Pure Data event, but there will be Pure Data performances.
Sunday, May 13 from 12-5 PM – Patching Circle
Wednesday, May 16, 8-10 PM – Introduction To Pure Data
The next pd-la patching circle will be on Sunday 13 May 2012 from 12-5 pm, at CRASH Space (10526 Venice Blvd., Culver City, CA 90232).
As part of pd-LAunch II, we are planning on having some special guests. Stay tuned for more details.
The patching circle is an informl gathering of anyone who is interested in patching languages (Pure Data, Max/MSP/Jitter, etc). Beginners and experienced patchers welcome. Open to everyone – work on personal professional projects, school work, or just patch quietly to yourself, in a room full of other people patching patches and helping other people patch.
Open and free to all (donations to support CRASH Space are encouraged) – come and bring your Pd, Max/MSP, and other noisy programming project to work on.
pd-LAunch II will take place May 12-20 at CRASHspace, UCSD, and venues throughout California.
The week of workshops, talks, performances, and patching circles will be bookended by Handmade Music L.A. 3.0 (May 12) and Maker Faire San Mateo (May 19-20).
The schedule is still tentative, and being formulated. There is a pd-LAunch II page where the schedule of events will be updated as they are firmed up.
Peter’s workshops were great. Lots of people showed up and got to see the Processing/Pd library for the first time.
Peter has posted his presentation online:
This month we have two events with Peter Kirn of Create Digital Music.
Peter will be teaching a workshop about using pdlib within Processing, on Thursday Septenber 8th from 7-10 pm. Due to high demand, a second workshop has been added on Saturday September 10th from 6-9 pm.
“Image And Music: Make Your Own Musical Tools, Free, with Processing and Pd”
Limited space, $60. Sign up in the store for Thursday or Saturday.
Make your own instrument, sequencer, or effect, then give it a visual interface – not just fake knobs and buttons, but via any picture you desire. Now you can, with two integrated tools, entirely for free.
Learn how:
Using Processing, the artist-friendly rapid code “sketching” environment, and Pure Data (Pd), the visual patching tool, we’ll discover how to create custom music creations entirely in free software. Starting with simple projects, you’ll learn how to get up and running to create your own tools, see some of the basics of how to make visual interfaces in Processing and construct musical tools with Pd, as well as how to route audio from these into software you already use like Ableton Live.
Via the new free libpd library for Processing, developed by Peter Kirn and Peter Brinkmann, you can use Pd patches right inside Processing. You create your musical creations – sequencers, drum machines, synths, effects, and so on – using the graphical environment Pd, which uses patch cords to represent the flow of signal through your sonic rigs. (A library of useful building blocks means you can construct all kinds of powerful tools even without much Pd knowledge.) Then, in Pd, you can create graphical interfaces via lightweight code, which can even run on your desktop or even mobile phones and tablets powered by Android. We’ll experiment with some simple two-dimensional and three-dimensional generative graphics for visualizing and playing our instruments, and some useful tools (a synth, a drum machine, a pattern maker, an effect you can use with a mic).
See the full description in the store.

On Sunday, September 11th, starting at Noon, Peter will join us for the monthly Pd/Max/MSP patching circle. Bring your project from the workshop, or any other project you’re working on. This is also a good chance to learn more about Pure Data (Pd) or Max/MSP.
The patching circle is open and free to all.
This Sunday, July 24, from 2-5 pm, the July meeting of the pd-la patching circle will be held at CRASHspace (10526 Venice Blvd., Culver City, CA 90232).
We’ll have a Microsoft Kinect and will be making it work with Pd, using OSCeleton.
Open and free to all (donations to support CRASHspace are welcome) – come and bring your Pure Data or Max/MSP project to work on.

This workshop was mentioned at last month’s patching circle because of Miller’s ceramic tile contact mic demo.
CMKT4 is coming to Maker Faire and they’re visiting hackerspaces along the way, showing how to build their awesome bottle-cap contact microphones.
They’ll be at CRASHspace on Saturday, 14 May 2011, from 6-9 PM. Build a contact mic and learn to use it. $15 gets you one mic. Another $10 gets you a second.
While everything is drying, they’ll play some of their crazy music.
After a successful Kickstarter campaign to make it happy, there’s a three-day festival of Monome music starting today in Santa Fe. And they’re live streaming it as well!
There’s sure to be some Pd and Max/MSP going on in New Mexico this weekend.
