linux sound Summer Workshops 2001

Linux Sound: Open Source Music Synthesis, Composition, and Audio Programming Course Description The Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) has been using the Linux operating system for music composition, synthesis, and audio DSP research since 1996. This workshop will focus on currently available open source tools and environments for computer music research and composition using Linux. The workshop will include an overview of some of the most popular linux distributions and a brief installation clinic with specific focus on audio, midi and real-time performance (dealing with both hardware and software). Low level sound and midi drivers reviewed will include oss, oss-free, alsa and others. Environments for sound synthesis and composition will include the common lisp based clm system, STK (c++), pd (c) and jmax (java/c). Many other interesting tools like the snd sound editor (and its close ties to clm) will also be covered. Due to the very dynamic nature of the open source community and software base more programs will probably be included by the time the workshop starts. The workshop will also include a brief tour of sound processing and synthesis techniques. Familiarity with computers and programming languages is helpful.
