Chaos Communication Congress 23th (23C3) 2006 Abstract: Todays music industry has created a system that is unfair for both the musicians and the music lover. Combined with an agressive prosecution of downloaders, this causes a very strong polarisation between the industry on one hand and music lovers on the other. Nobody wins. We at dying giraffe recordings are trying to break this impasse and create a system where musicans are rewarded for their work and talent, and where music lovers can enjoy music in a fair way. The key element in this is a breakaway from traditional copyright laws and the use of the creative commons license. This combined with new technologies in the field of internet, audio recording and compression gives us the potency to change te system. Thus building a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude we believe that we can beat the system. Todays music market is a sick place. Consider this: Musicians often do not get paid for cd sales, only for tours and merchandise. They have to pay the labels for promotion and recording, and often go bankrupt in spite of selling millions. Their music is checked by software for their hitpotential, and if it's potential is limited, the will not be signed. Music that is produced, is compressed to death, so dynamics are effectively eliminated. Money that is earned by copy levy only goed to the big labels, if at all. Consumers are getting sued for using p2p, even when they do not own a computer, are dead, or both. IF they buy cd's, the cd's are subject to price fixing, making them ridiculously expensive. Those CD's are protected by DRM or copy protection which makes them unable to be played on a computer, a dvd player, car audio or an mp3 player. So why buy cd's at all? Now we have p2p, with which the music lover can download music for free, but illegally. There are other legal download means, like itunesMS but they have DRM. So what do we do now? We started a label, dying giraffe recordings. Where we try to keep our overhad low, where we do the cherry picking, give tips for homerecording, use the creative commons license, and use pdocasts and streaming for promotion, and have connections to cd distribution companies and concert halls. Of course we encounter a lot of problems, like limited recording facilities, getting money for airplay and form the ocpy levy, cd manufacturing, the traditional industry and organisation fighting us, shady distributors, psychotic musicians and promotion. For some of these problems we do not have a solution yet, for some we do have some suggestions. We would like to invite other people to think with us, and to build with us a network of netlabels to beat the system.

Chaos Communication Congress 24th (24C3) 2007 Abstract: A talk (with examples) by monochrom, presented by Johannes Grenzfurthner Bourgeois culture was paralyzed and finally overrun by modern technologies which broke through the traditional class barriers. It went into a panic and produced these very stupid technophobic manifestos and images e.g. of “the computer”. Pop music discovered and explored the computer not only as a musical instrument but also as something to sing and reflect about in a less aversive way. In doing so it influenced the conception people had of computers. The public image of computers was shaped by groups such as Kraftwerk as well as through obscure Schlager songs such as France Gall's “Computer No. 3”. Not only was that image influenced by high culture computer panic but also by naïve technomania, and so it delivered the very dialectics of the computer as a means of cultural technology in capitalist society.

Chaos Communication Congress 25th (25C3) 2008 Abstract: Small devices like microcontrollers, coupled to a few buttons, knobs, encoders and LEDs, allow for a host of interesting and creative musical applications. Solder a few bits together, program a few lines, and you can build a deep device to support your musical exploration. This lecture will show you quickly how the hardware and code works, and then focus on a few interesting applications: controllers, sequencers, sound generators. The workshop will allow you to build your own crazy ideas.

Chaos Communication Congress 27th (27C3) 2010 Abstract: Corey Cerovsek and Julien Quentin, accomplished musicians known worldwide for their classical recital performances, and media artist Alex Antener present something that's not quite an ordinary concert, to draw attention to the importance of the public domain in centuries of classical music tradition. It's both more — and less — than what you might expect to see and hear at a classical concert. Mixing live and recorded music with visuals with a message, Julien Quentin, Corey Cerovsek and Alex Antener imagine the heavy curtain of a non-free culture falling on four hundred years of classical music. Ripping and mixing have been going on for longer than you might imagine, and without the Public Domain, much of our classical heritage would be replaced with silence. From Lennon to Bernstein, Bernstein to Mozart, Liszt to Paganini, Sarasate to Bizet, Mendelssohn to Bach, classical music has been a culture of ceaseless sharing in which individuals have nonetheless been able to project indelible voices across the centuries. Had music always been controlled as some would like it to be controlled now, would we have this rich tradition to transmit to you?

Chaos Communication Congress 28th (28C3) 2011 Abstract: Tracking is so 1990s. Nowadays MP3 and other similar formats are overwhelmingly more popular. But is this really a step forward? A (very) brief history of computer music, where we are at now, and why I think people are headed in the wrong direction. And what we can do about it. Distributing music as recordings is terribly limiting to hackers and tinkerers. Music as source code makes dissection, modification and reuse easier. I will introduce a prototype next-generation tracker for the web, with the ultimate aim of being a way to not just create but also distribute music, and to collaborate on music creation: Github for music, if you will. As a music creation tool, trackers have been displaced in popularity because they are: Balky (arcane command+parameter syntax, steep learning curve, have slowly grown by accretion without regard to comprehensibility) Underpowered (many useful DSP effects are unavailable) As a music distribution tool, tracked formats have been displaced in popularity because they are: Not ubiquitous (people may not have playback software) Underspecified (hence behaviour differs across implementations) I believe all of these problems are soluble, and I'm going to talk about how. "modplayjs" (a working title which may well change by December) is a tracker written in javascript. While capable of playing existing module formats, it is primarily a playground for experimenting with shedding two decades of accumulated baggage, and is currently under heavy development.

[Andrew] sent us a video of his home made oscilloscope wall, which he uses to visualize different audio tracks he has created. The wall is made up of nine old broadcast monitors he wired together in his studio. At first it appears that the monitors are split into two sets of four, with the center [...]

We get a lot of tips about old hardware playing recognizable tunes. But once in a while one of these projects goes above and beyond the others and this is a shining example of great hardware music. [FunToTheHead] put together a music video (embedded after the break) that shows his custom MIDI device playing Bach’s [...]

[Andrew] built himself a stoplight that flashes along with the music. Unlike the traffic signal we checked in on a year ago, this one’s not a reused municipal fixture. [Andrew] imported a 3D model into Sketchup, printed out the results, and traced them onto Bristol board to make his templates. He cut out the parts, [...]

This is a second generation Manta, a touch-based controller with visual feedback made to use with Max/MSP. The hexagonal size and the patterns seen in the video after the break remind us of the arm-based computers the Predators sport in the movies. Like the previous generation, this controller can tell not only which of the [...]

[Emmanuel Roussel] is coding a version of Tetris for the IM-ME. Before you get too excited, he hasn’t actually written the game yet, but instead started with the familiar theme music. The IM-ME has a piezo speak on board so it’s just a question of frequency and duration. [Emmanuel] developed an Open Office spread sheet [...]

Here’s a look at the TRRS cable that Android phones use. [Rich Kappmeier] want to control the music player on his Nexus One while driving. It’s not necessarily a safe endeavor if you’re staring at the screen and poking away with one hand while trying to stay in your lane. A little bit of research [...]

Sadly, this pocket mp3 wav player doesn’t come close to the capabilities of even an iPod generation 1 yet, but you have to give [Owen] props for making it in less than 24 hours. The system consists of a Propeller MCU (cleverly wired to be swappable with “shields” similar to Arduino systems), SD card for [...]

This beautiful music syncronized double helix was made by Syyn labs. Last time we saw them, they had created that amazing rube goldberg style music video for OK Go. This 100 foot long LED DNA strand took over 1000 combined man hours to build. It took 512 LEDs, 32 LED controllers, 4 Arduinos, 4 computers, [...]

This thrift shop organ gets a new life as an 8-bit music maker. Called the Chipophone, it relies on an ATmega88 to produce sounds that you might associate with classic video gaming. [Linus Akesson] takes us through all of the different sound settings in the video after the break, including performances of your theme music [...]

[Taichi Inoue] put together this beautiful visualization system called Yukikaze, japanese for “snow wind”. Basically a spectrum analyzer, Yukikaze is delightful to watch. We would love to see what kind of response he gets, as most of the footage shows very slowly changing smooth jazz. While we don’t think he gets crisp EQ visualizations out [...]

This is (video above) perhaps the most abstract way of playing sounds…ever. Yes, we’ve heard Hard Drive music and Obsolete technology bands, but [DJ Sures] brings us the first ever, spark plug instrument. Much like Velcro and Teflon, the musical spark plug is claimed to be an accident. After testing energy use vs. spark power with [...]

In the ongoing quest to make the Force Trainer useful [Hunter Scott] developed a music composition platform for your mind (channel Jack Black’s voice for the last half of that sentence). Using the Force Trainer’s serial port [Hunter] feeds the data stream into a computer via an FTDI cable and uses Processing to make the [...]

This is an interesting take on a music box. [Blair Neal] is using an overhead projector with a roll of transparency to make a synthesized music box. A camera watches the projected image and feeds data to Max/MSP to produce the sounds. Customization merely requires creative image analysis. In this case, different colored pens or [...]

[Aaron] calls this project “Stochasticity”. It uses two sponges as a musical interface. The performer wears a wrist strap and then draws on the table with water from the sponge to play different notes. You really need to watch the video to fully understand what’s going on here.
We’re guessing that this is Arduino based since [...]

This looks like a home entertainment center of yore but something’s not quite right. Where is the turntable used to play the music? It turns out that this Danforth Standard Digitrola is digital and doesn’t rely upon wax for an input. [Jonathan Danforth] built it as a show piece and it exhibits fine craftsmanship. A [...]
