blog email address changed

Hi all,

Related to the latest spam messages, I changed the email address tag
that we use to send messages to AULO blog and through that to AULO
members. Here it is the new post address,
. I changed the settings, so now members can send messages to AULO
again. If we get further spam messages, sorry for that in advance
first of all, I will change the email and blog name.

cheers,

Koray.

sorry for the latest spam messages

Hi all,

I tried to filter spam messages but seems like we are really in
trouble, sorry for the latest spam messages blocking your emails. Now
I changed the settings so that only I can send message to AULO, lets
see if this will stop the spam msg, later we have to find a way to
solve this issue.

spam/banned

Hi all,

Recently AULO received two spam messages, now I banned them for any
future attempts, seems like somebody tries to attach AULO members, I
will try to take care about that :)

cheers,

Koray

Rehearsal / Meeting -- 15.12 (Tomorrow) klo 16:00 Mlab, TaiK

hi all,

It seems like Tuesday 15.12 (tomorrow) is good for all of us to meet
once before our December performances. I will try to be there a bit
before 16:00 to put things together.

see you all tomorrow.

Rehearsal / Meeting -- 09.12 klo 16:00 Mlab, Taik

We will mainly rehearse with both Demo Day and Ptarmigan performance
structures. I sent an email to Jon, requesting 2 time slots in the
demo day, 5 min each, one for the performance and one for the
presentation of AULO in general. I cannot access to Onni anymore, Jon
might be busy organizing demo day activities, If anybody will be at
Mlab today, can you please talk to Jon in person about our AULO demo
day request so that we can discuss about our technical requirements on
Wednesday?

Seems like we are running out of time a bit, I would suggest to use
the whole 3 hours (16:00-19:00) this Wednesday!!

see you all on Wednesday!!

Koray

Rehearsal / Meeting -- 02.12 klo 16:00 Mlab, TaiK

Yesterday, I sent the updated AULO toolkit version to all of you, now
it is time to practice with our conducting tool in a continuous
performance task. Tomorrow, we will rehearse three approximately 20
min. improvisation sessions ( 3 X ~20 min. ).

see you tomorrow,

7th Rehearsal

Hi all,

It was a great experience when we finally began practicing with our
AULO conducting toolkit properly. Here I uploaded our rehearsal
recording. I combined them all in a one wav file. We had some
recording technical difficulties in our first two sessions, but the
rest of them are in 5 min. range. http://soundcloud.com/aulo/aulo-25112009

Rehearsal / Meeting -- 25.11 klo 16:00 @ Mlab, TaiK

Hi all,

I just sent AULO conducting toolkit zip file to each AULO performer.
If you didn't receive it, please send me an email. It will be good if
you can practice a bit with this interface before our next Wednesday
rehearsal session. It might be also good to work on the control layers
of your instruments. We will practice using the conducting toolkit,
and we will take turn in conducting as well.

see you on Wednesday,

Koray

6th Rehearsal

AULO conducting tool requires more update, but seems like beginning
from next session (next Wednesday) we will be able to practice with
our toolkit properly. Recording of our 6th rehearsal is now @ http://soundcloud.com/aulo/aulo-18112009

Rehearsal / Meeting -- 18.11 klo 16:00 @Mlab, TaiK

Hi all,

Beginning from this week we will have AULO rehearsal/meeting sessions
every Wednesday till our December gigs 17-18.12. So next rehearsal
will be this Wednesday, 18.11 @ 16:00, Media Lab 3rd floor meeting
room. Last session we had some problems with the available audio
cables, please remember to bring your own audio cables/adapters
together with you.

see you on Wednesday,

Koray

5th Rehearsal

Last Wednesday, we began rehearsing/practicing with the AULO
conducting toolkit for the first time and immediately this practice
resulted in lots of demands and comments about how this toolkit should
work. I will try to make the updates ready for our next session, which
will be this Wednesday, 18 November. There was something wrong with
the last session recording, here I uploaded a 1.49min of recording @ http://soundcloud.com/aulo/aulo-11112009
.

Rehearsal / Meeting -- 11.11 klo 16:00 @ Mlab, TaiK

We will meet tomorrow, Wednesday 11.11, @ 16:00, Media Lab 3rd floor
meeting room for our next rehearsal. During this session we will
practice our new AULO conducting tool-kit. Set up for each laptop
might take time, it might be good if you can be there a bit before
16:00. The recording of our last session is @ http://soundcloud.com/aulo/aulo-28102009
and the assignment, @ http://aulaptoporchestra.blogspot.com/2009/10/4th-rehearsal-and-assignment-due-11.html
.

see you tomorrow,

4th rehearsal recording now up on SoundCloud

Julian uploaded the rehearsal recording , @http://soundcloud.com/aulo/aulo-28102009
, very nice improvised noise!!! Intro developed into a dynamic noise
structure around 2.19 min. and nice noise attacks at 6.03 min and
onwards.

any comments?!!

Koray

4th Rehearsal and Assignment due 11 November 2009

Segmented Noise structures resulted in interesting pattern creation in
our improvisation. Earlier we practiced with different noise attacks
through Jari's conducting. The guidance in this conducting practice
brought up new ideas for our performances as well. I already sent a
message to Jon about dmx lighting possibilities, but seems like we
will use light to support our conducting model. Hopefully, in our next
rehearsal, we will begin to practice with AULO conducting model.
Julian, can you send email to AULO when you upload the rehearsal
recording to soundcloud?

001_Control layers in AULO instruments

Each AULO member will develop/improve current control interfaces of
the instruments that have been used in AULO rehearsals. This layer
will make it possible to have full control on START/STOP/DURATION/
AMPLITUDE modules on our instruments.

cheers,

Koray

Rehearsal / Meeting -- 28.10 klo 16:00 @ Mlab, TaiK

Hi all,

see you on Wednesday,

 

Koray

 

Assignment due 28 October 2009

001_Noise and Controlled Segments

AULO members will build an instrument that will process and manipulate
the sound to output noise. Output should have the dynamic
characteristics of white noise. Control parameters will manipulate the
dynamics ( the amount of happenings/information/differences in the
structure of that particular sound) and control the amplitude level.
The instrument should output loud and rich full sounds.

Instrument should also make it possible to control segments of
performance duration during live practice. It should be easily stopped/
activated/ , producing immediate sound output.

see you next Wednesday,

Koray

3rd Rehearsal and AULO performances in December

these dates in your calendar and we will talk more during our next
meetings.

I will send another post later for the next assignment!!

001_ Low Frequencies ONLY - 100 Hz
Each AULO member will create an instrument that will output only low
frequencies. Audio outcome of the instruments will be lower than 100
