Nicolas Bouillot, Michal Seta, Emmanuel Durand, Zack Settle, Alexandre Quessy » Location: IEM CUBE
Waterfall Music, commissioned by the Society for Arts and Technology [SAT],
is a logical follow-up to Handel's Water Music. However, instead of being
performed on a barge navigating Thames River, Waterfall Music flows along
fiberoptics and other similarly suitable materials, between the [SAT] in
Montreal and IEM. In the performance, waterfall is also designating the
particular technique employed for synchronization of musical events,
providing performers an opportunity to merge voices, dance, improvised
music, digital signal processing, virtual worlds and digital video effects
in a collective creation from which synchronicity may emerge once in a
while.

Day 3 - Saturday, May/11 16:10 Building distributed graph of live audio/video/data streaming with switcher/shmdata, puredata and your application - Workshop
(80 min) Michal Seta, Nicolas Bouillot » Location: IEM CUBE
Switcher is a new modular streaming engine for telepresence applications. It relies heavily on shmdata, a library enabling real time sharing of data flows between applications. shmdata, is able to share audio, video and any standard or custom buffer of data. Switcher and shmdata are based on the GStreamer framework and has already been used for 3D telepresence installation where remote participants were captured in real-time as point clouds with lip-synchronized audio.
The workshop will introduce switcher/shmdata and the Puredata shmsrc~ and shmsink~ externals. Participants will learn how to build a networked graph involving multichannel audio (with synchronized video and data) where each node in the graph can process audio with Puredata.
Switcher and shmdata library are developed by Nicolas Bouillot at the Society for Arts and Technology [SAT] in Montreal, Canada, and is supported by funds from the Ministère du Développement Economique, de l'Innovation et de l'Exportation du Québec.
