A look back at some items in our archives.
A quick way to store and recall slots. Basically a drop in replacement for the preset object, with some enhancements.
Use this is an object prototype for quick access in building and/or testing the functionality of a patch.
This helpful abstraction takes an input list of beat durations and converts it to the appropriate amount of spaces for n-beats. The first beat in the list is the event, then the next (n-1) beats (if applicable), are non events, or resets. Consequentially, the output list's length is equivalent to the summed amount of beat durations...
Send stereo signals into this abstraction for LR output. This patch is meant to be used as a bpatcher that you copy (from the help file) and paste into your patch.
It contains two gain~ sliders which scale the incoming signals exponentially.
You can also add it as a bpatcher prototype so that you don't have to re-patch your audio outputs every time you create a new patcher file.
This abstraction takes a single integer (base 10) and randomly selects one of its digits for output.
harmonics is a utility that generates n harmonics above a given fundamental, as a list.
The arguments are and .
Computes the standard deviation of a list of elements.

Alone in a Crowded Room
a situation for solo alto flute and live electronics
(2005)
Michael Ferriell Zbyszynski
My musical interests in Alone in a Crowded Room are twofold. Electronically, I am exploring macroscopic and microscopic processes in the time domain. At the same time, I am engaged with the physical reality of the alto flute and by extension, the flautist.

"The most consistent influence," Richard Felciano has written about his life, "is that of my childhood in a small northern California community with substantial Japanese and Portuguese populations. From these groups I learned a sense of ritual, of structure, of awe, and of music as a social function....The reality of the world to me is East and West, stasis and dynamism, meditation and dialectic. It is also what California is - the edge where the two meet."

Orchestral Music:
Camp Songs for chamber orchestra
Concerto for Organ and Orchestra
Galactic Rounds for orchestra
Mutations for Orchestra
Overture Concertante for clarinet and orchestra
Symphony for string orchestra
My work in electronic music began in the early sixties, as a part of
the San Francisco Tape Music Center with Morton Subotnick, Ramon Sender
and Pauline Oliveros. Possibly the most formative experience came in 1967-8
as the composer-member of a resident five-artist group at the National Center
for Experiments in Television, established by the Rockefeller Foundation

Also, an exact list of all equipment leaving the house needs to be emailed to mzed@cnmat.berkeley.edu. Even if I am there and help you pick out the gear, I need *you* to make this list. Also included in this list is an estimate of when you plan to return the gear.
Dense Linear Algebra:
- Filter-banks (e.g. compressor / expander); in hearing aids, EQ.
- Basic linear operations for massively-multi-channel arrays (many-channel arrays)
- Dimensionality reduction for control paradigms (e.g. PCA)
- Sensor integration
- SVD
Sparse Linear Algebra:
- Spectral pruning
- Pitch extraction
- Concatenative synthesis?
I. Introduction
Software running on PCs has largely replaced the electronic and
electro-mechanical equipment previously used in audio and video
production.
For example, Apple's Final Cut Pro is a software video editor that has
largely replaced hardware video editors for movie trailer and
television news production. In audio recording studios, analog tape

Audio and video render farms to individually watermark large media databases.

Increased channel count in typical musical performances from 4-8 to 100's of speakers.
