Bridges between Violin Acoustics and Violin Making

Invited speakers: Joseph Curtin, Jim Woodhouse and George Bissinger.

One internationally recognized violin maker and two distinguished professors in the areas of physics, acoustics and structural dynamics present their views on how violin making and science can learn from each other.

The presentations include demonstrations and interactions with the audience.

SObs - Sounding Objects

Speakers: Davide Rocchesso, Federico Avanzini, Roberto Bresin, Sofia Dahl, Federico Fontana, Bruno Giordano, Kjetil Falkenberg Hansen, Mathias Rath.

Sounding Objects is a recently finished European project aiming at developing sound models that are responsive to physical interactions and are easily matched to physical objects. A presentation of "The Sounding Object" book will be followed by live and interactive demonstrations of sound and control models.

Demonstrations: Vodhran (the virtual bodhran), scratching, the invisiball (rolling sounds), friction sounds, the SOb-enhanced book "Happy Birthday Maisy"

A more in depth introduction into the JACK audio server system, the Ardour Harddisk Recording, and the PD realtime syntesis language will be given. At the end of the workshop the participants will have the basic knowledge that is necessarry to use the GNU/Linux system for creating music.
