11:30 Linux as a Low-Latency, Rock-Stable Live Performance System - Poster Presentation(60 min) Matthieu Amiguet, Barbara Minder » Location: ZKM_Foyer
At Les Chemins de Traverse we've been using Linux on stage for live looping and live sound processing in dozens of gigs for the last four years.
Although most audio-oriented Linux distributions focus more on studio setups than live performance, our experience shows that it is possible to build reliable, very low-latency, highly customized live music systems - even using ridiculously old computers that are generally thought to be completely inadequate for any kind of audio processing.
We will present our live music system - based on existing software (jack, SooperLooper, rakarrack, ...), custom software (made with ChucK, python/pyo, ...) and a bunch of "glue" scripts (bash, python, ...). We will also discuss our experience about the strengths and weaknesses of the Linux audio ecosystem for live use on stage.

The schedule is a major guideline. There is no guarantee events will take place at the announced timeslot.
