Earlier we practiced with different noise attacks <br>through Jari's conducting. The guidance in this conducting practice <br>brought up new ideas for our performances as well. I already sent a <br>message to Jon about dmx lighting possibilities, but seems like we <br>will use light to support our conducting model. Hopefully, in our next <br>rehearsal, we will begin to practice with AULO conducting model. <br>Julian, can you send email to AULO when you upload the rehearsal <br>recording to soundcloud?<p><p><br>001_Control layers in AULO instruments<p>Each AULO member will develop/improve current control interfaces of <br>the instruments that have been used in AULO rehearsals.

In our last session, Reha introduced her <br>instrument, impromptu (<a href="http://impromptu.moso.com.au/">http://impromptu.moso.com.au/</a>), an audio <br>programing environment which has s code/syntax based structure. I am <br>not totally sure whether it is open source or not, but it is at least <br>free distributed and Reha processed interesting sounds with it.

Based on the assignment Jari introduced his emulator ported <br>megasound instrument. It was quite impressive when he began to apply <br>different filters on the sample channels. Julian introduced his <br>Supercollider instrument with feedback+reverb manipulation pitch <br>changes. That sounded interesting and gave a frequency modulation <br>sound effect when he was changing the pitch values. I did introduce <br>Pure Data instrument with sinusoidal wave synth instrument where you <br>can manipulate both the sample index and the center frequency of the <br>effected voltage controlled bandpass filter. After that, we did 20 min <br>free jam session.
