Anne Sèdes - University of Paris 8 CICM

This introduction and welcome served mainly to help us understand who was at the conference and to reaffirm Anne's ambitions for
a higher visibility of the electric guitar as a valuable object of study for the humanities.

Benoît Navarret - University of Paris 8 CICM

Benoît's wisely chose to focus on the history of the electric guitar with just enough organology to put everyone on the same page

Benoiît Courribet University of Paris 8 CICM

A second and (very different) Benoiît showed us his work exploring implementations of the classic analog effects using digital implementations in Max/MSP.

Adrian Freed, CNMAT UC Berkeley

During the first half of my talk I illustrated my view of the primary identity of the electric guitar as a vehicle for sonic, and stylistic imitation. I lead the talk with a sound example from Hendrix's Live in Berkeley concert where he introduces himself as performing on the "public saxophone". I concluded this half by showing

"Haunted for Augmented Guitar" Otso Lahdeoja

I particularly appreciated how Otso smoothly integrated the augmented features of his guitar into his playing.

Here's the solution:

The electric guitar has accompanied the major musical and cultural revolutions of the 20th century.
It is intimitely related to technological modernity and cultural industries, tracking these in its own evolution.

The goal of this two day conference is to support multidiscplinary reflections on the electric guitar.

The G5 seems unhappy when the DVI connection is the only monitor. I've had to go find an ADC monitor and plug it in to get the DVI port to work properly. Then, you can ditch the ADC monitor.

I remember this being a problem the first time the G5 got on the KVM switch, but don't remember the solution.

This computer is also flaky about recognizing the USB for the mouse and keyboard on startup. Unplugging and plugging back in takes care of it.

Aaron Einbond presents a lecture/workshop that introduces students to CNMAT software tools and techniques for music composition and performance.

CNMAT celebrates twenty years.

Aaron Einbond présentera des séances d’initiation aux outils de traitement informatique du son avec Max/MSP proposés par le CNMAT - en direction notamment des étudiants intéressés par l’interaction instrument/machine.

##Sujets :
- Introduction ultra-rapide à Max/MSP 5
+ Outils spectraux d'analyse et de (re)synthèse du CNMAT
- la synthèse additive et soustractive

Max/MSP/Jitter is a graphical environment for music, audio, and multimedia that runs on both Macintosh (OSX) and Windows XP platforms. In use worldwide for over fifteen years by performers, composers, artists, teachers, and students, Max/MSP/Jitter is the way to make your computer do things that reflect your individual ideas and dreams.

##Topics:

- Navigating the user interface

# What we have provided
- "percussion-buffers", a small patch which reads nine percussion sound files into nine buffers.
- "simple-sampler~", a straightforward sample-playback synthesis patch based on play~. There is also a help patch that shows how to use simple-sampler~.
- "simple-draw.maxhelp" draws triangles, squares, and circles into an LCD object.
