We've been invited to bring our particular brand of dor kiness and geekdom and show it off. This will be much like our usual mee tings (so bring your toys!) but we'll also be giving folks the opportuni ty to make a lot of noise and get up on the stage. \;\n \;\nThe fu n begins at 9PM and among the activities will be: \;\n \;\n * Don\ , performing on the computer-enhanced bass guitar \;\n * Jason and Ja red\, aka CRM114 Discriminator\, performing an avant/noise piece origina lly premiered at ToorCamp \;\n * Simran\, with the feedback organ \;\n * Peter\, with his suitcase of mystery \;\n * You! \;\n \; \nSeriously\, if you have something you'd like to show off\, let us know and we'll get you some time on the mic. Preferrably\, ping Jason\, Don or me beforehand so we have some idea of what to expect\, but don't worr y if it's all last minute. We'll be setting up at 8\, so feel free to co me down early and to help out or just hang out and keep us company. \ ;\n \;\nHere's a map if you don't know where it is -- but if you've b een to one of the Monday night meetups\, it's just around the corner: 3\;\n \;\nhttp://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&\;source=s_q&\;hl=en& amp\;geocode=&\;q=125+NW+5th+Avenue\,+Portland\,+OR+97209&\;sll=45 .429522\,-122.705794&\;sspn=0.00771\,0.01929&\;ie=UTF8&\;ll=45. 524901\,-122.675765&\;spn=0.007697\,0.01929&\;z=16&\;iwloc=A\n\ nTags: dorkbot\, dorkbotpdx\, sound\, geek\, noise\, technology\n\nImpor ted from: http://calagator.org/events/1250457443 URL:http://www.somedaylounge.com/ SUMMARY:DorkbotPDX friday nite dorkout LOCATION:Someday Lounge: 125 NW 5th\, Portland Oregon 97209 SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110225T195650Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110529T170000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110529T130000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110225T195650Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110511T065625Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250459849 DESCRIPTION:__s_o_u_n_d_____s_y_n_t_h_e_s_i_s__f e a t u r i n g __ P d.. .....dorkbotpdx is proud to announce....... \;\n \;\nA unique\, fr ee workshop geared at teaching sound synthesis fundamentals as explored and demonstrated through Pure Data. \;\n \;\nFascinated by orgies of towering analog synthesizes from the 60s?

It is a room that listens to the notes in your voice and uses them to compose music and change the color of the room. As the project progr essed\, further opportunities for control were implemented. An interacti ve kiosk gives users the ability to choose instruments and control sensi tivity and reactivity parameters. The next step was to insert audio from other times and places by playing field recordings (e.g.\, baby yaks in Tibet\, the 8-line in San Francisco)\, allowing the Haunted Garden to a ctively respond to the augmented sonic environments. \;\n \;\nSim ran will discuss the challenges of designing with sound\, and how he dev eloped “listening agents” who react and comment on sound in the environm ent. He will relate experiences—both as software developer and sound art ist—and explore sound as a medium. Topics will include what is sound scu lpture\, what challenges were uncovered in creating it\, whether the exp erience worked according to plan\, the challenges in developing applicat ions for these sorts of interactions\, the unforeseen consequences resul ting from initial forays into these kinds of devices\, and how an interf ace based on sound might change how we relate to sound and sonic devices . \;\n \;\nAbout the Speaker \;\n Simran Gleason is an artist a nd professional nerd. He started drawing the day after getting a master’ s degree in computer science (symbolic and heuristic computation) from S tanford and drifted through many media before arriving at his current fo cus: making algorithms that make music. Among his more successful instal lations is Haunted Garden\, a room that listens to you\, finds the notes in your conversation\, and uses them to compose an ambient sound and li ghtscape. He also did the generative music and light algorithms for SWAR M\, a gaggle of open source someday-autonomous spherical robots. His wor k has been shown in galleries in San Francisco and Palo Alto\, as well a s installations at Maker Fair\, Yuri’s Night\, Coachella\, and the speci al olympics of art: Burning Man. Kepler’s Orrery is his first iPhone app . \;\n \n\nTags: music\, art\, ux\, sound\, tech\n\nImported from: ht tp://calagator.org/events/1250461779 URL:http://www.chifoo.org SUMMARY:CHIFOO January Meeting/Speaker LOCATION:CMD Agency: 1631 NW Thurman Street\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140203T071505Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140223T170000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140223T130000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140203T071505Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140203T072254Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250465626 DESCRIPTION:An Introduction to Pure Data \;\nDorkbotPDX is happy to of fer a free workshop as an introduction to Pure Data (Pd). \;\n \;\ nWhen: February 23rd\, 2014. 1-5pm \;\n \;\nWhere: Flux 412 NW Cou ch Street\, #222 (map) \;\n \;\nInstructors: Jesse Mejia\, Alex No rman\, Jason Plumb\, Edward Sharp \;\n \;\nDetails: \;\nPure Da ta (Pd) is a free\, open-source\, community supported data flow language and coding environment with an emphasis on sound\, music\, and multimed ia.
