DorkbotPDX friday nite dorkout
Someday Lounge

Come join us Friday evening at Someday Lounge (http://www.somedaylounge.com). We've been invited to bring our particular brand of dorkiness and geekdom and show it off. This will be much like our usual meetings (so bring your toys!) but we'll also be giving folks the opportunity to make a lot of noise and get up on the stage.

The fun begins at 9PM and among the activities will be:

  • Don, performing on the computer-enhanced bass guitar
  • Jason and Jared, aka CRM114 Discriminator, performing an avant/noise piece originally premiered at ToorCamp
  • Simran, with the feedback organ
  • Peter, with his suitcase of mystery
  • You!

Seriously, 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 worry if it's all last minute. We'll be setting up at 8, so feel free to come down early and to help out or just hang out and keep us company.

Here's a map if you don't know where it is -- but if you've been to one of the Monday night meetups, it's just around the corner:

Dorkbot PDX meeting
Backspace

Part hackathon, part geek social, these biweekly meetings are a time for you to come join others for insight, inspiration or just insanity. Bring your toys for others to see, or come see what others have been painstakingly chipping away at in their spare time. Whether it's code or chips, hacking of all sorts is encouraged. But we also like to hear your crazy ideas, so please come join us and bring your willingness to share your brilliance. We'll be the kids with all the coolest stuff on the table. Hope to see you there.

Introduction to Pure Data (Pd)
Flux - Plastic Fantastics

An Introduction to Pure Data DorkbotPDX is happy to offer a free workshop as an introduction to Pure Data (Pd).

When: February 23rd, 2014. 1-5pm

Where: Flux 412 NW Couch Street, #222 (map)

Instructors: Jesse Mejia, Alex Norman, Jason Plumb, Edward Sharp

Details: Pure Data (Pd) is a free, open-source, community supported data flow language and coding environment with an emphasis on sound, music, and multimedia. It was originally written by Miller Puckette (also the original author of Max/Max MSP) and runs on Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows.

Pd has been used widely in the creation of art -- such as music, sound art, visual art, generative, new-media, and interactive art. Pd interfaces readily with MIDI equipment and many popular microcontrollers.

In this 4-hour course, students will learn the basics of Pd and will have fun developing foundational Pd patching skills.

A link to the curriculum will be posted here very soon.

Beginners are welcome. No prior computer programming or sound programming experience is required!

Notes: Students should attempt to install Pd prior to the workshop...but if not, no biggie. We can help with that!

Seating is limited to 20 participants. Please RSVP to [email protected] to reserve a spot.

Attendees will respect Flux's code of conduct and will be asked to donate.

World Listening Day lunchtime soundwalk
FlightStats (Yeon bldg, 2nd floor, 522 SW 5th Ave)

Sorry for the last minute notice! In appreciation of World Listening Day (today, Friday July 18th), I'll be guiding a soundwalk during the lunch hour.

Even if you haven't participated in active listening or other sound observation related activities before, I think you can enjoy a soundwalk. It's as simple as it sounds -- walking around (in our case an urban space) with the specific intention of hearing with our ears and contextualizing the sound content (mostly with respect to our physical surroundings).

For more info about World Listening Day: http://www.worldlisteningproject.org/2014/05/2014-world-listening-day-listen-to-you/

When: 12:01pm

Where: FlightStats cafeteria, 522 SW 5th Ave, 2nd floor

Be prepared to walk outdoors at a mild/moderate pace for about 45 minutes. We won't be stopping for food, so be prepared to lunch before noon or after 1pm. I will also take a binaural recording of the trek and archive it publicly.

See you then!!
