00:03 pdurbin sivoais: my kid's music teacher sent me his project in csound. sounds great. syntax seems complicated :)
00:06 pdurbin he recommended this: Introduction to Sound Design in Csound by Richard Boulanger http://www.csounds.com/chapter1/
00:08 * pdurbin looks at http://www.berklee.edu/people/richard-boulanger
00:09 pdurbin oh cool, the new tower is finally open: http://www.berklee.edu/news/new-berklee-tower-opens
00:39 sulky joined #sourcefu
01:10 sivoais pdurbin: aweome! I haven't had an opportunity to play with Csound in quite a while. And that is a great intro. I have the book it is extracted from.
01:12 pdurbin sivoais: I just made a "csound" directory: http://git.greptilian.com/?p=musichacks.git;a=tree;f=csound
01:12 pdurbin of course I can't be bothered to read that chapter... I'm just hacking around :)
01:13 pdurbin the guy I know just added a comment: https://github.com/schmonz/dotfiles/commit/e1062abc7e1634a42ad7a1d182bd2c944258b7b1#commitcomment-5460470
01:13 sivoais hehe, I find experimentation is the best way for me when it comes to music
01:14 pdurbin so now I'm watching his (short) talk about lilypond: http://www.schmonz.com/2014/01/14/codemash-2014-developing-classical-music
01:14 sivoais oh, he's in #ikiwiki, right? :-)
01:14 pdurbin sivoais: yep. you know him?
01:15 sivoais no, but I remember jumping in #ikiwiki and seeing him talk about how he was doing something with IkiWiki
01:15 pdurbin ah. yeah. he's great. and very friendly
01:16 pdurbin he does a lot with ikiwiki. writes plugins. etc.
01:16 sivoais btw, the instrument that Dr. Boulanger has in his picture is a radio baton <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiodrum>
01:17 pdurbin huh. cool
01:17 * pdurbin used to work at Berklee
01:18 sivoais neat!
01:19 sivoais let me see if I can find a snippet of Csound code written for part of one of BT's (an electronic musician) albums
01:20 sivoais BT was a student of Dr. Boulanger <http://www.berklee.edu/berklee-today-28>
01:20 pdurbin cool, yeah, I was just looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BT_%28musician%29
01:21 pdurbin so was my kid's music teacher :)
01:22 pdurbin I wonder if I can convince him to share his csound project publicly :)
01:25 pdurbin heh. "When I was at Berklee, I was by far the geekiest kid there." -- that article sivoais linked
01:27 sivoais Here's the snippet <http://enetdown.org/BT_csound_bells-of-life.zip> and the web pages I extracted it from.
01:32 pdurbin sivoais: looks like you got it from here: BT - Everything that Makes us Human, Continues - New Song Preview - TranceAddict Forums - Music Discussion - http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/showthread/t-350857.html
01:34 sivoais ah, yes... I took it and turned it into a single .csd file :-)
01:34 pdurbin I'm getting syntax errors :( line 36
01:35 sivoais hmm, let me have a try at compiling it again
01:35 pdurbin I removed the trailing comma and it seems happier
01:35 * pdurbin runs `aplay test.wav`
01:35 sivoais they did redo the parser... I was last using Csound when it was Csound 5 and now it's on Csound 6
01:35 pdurbin sivoais: sounds great
01:37 pdurbin I'm using csound-5.19.01-1.fc20.x86_64
01:37 sivoais some more Csound examples <http://iainmccurdy.org/csound.html>, <http://freaknet.org/martin/audio/csound/>
01:38 pdurbin wow. lots
01:47 pdurbin sivoais: I just got the ok to share those files so you can download them from here (for now anyway) if you're interested: http://tmp.greptilian.com/tmp/csound/
01:50 pdurbin sivoais: oh, by the way, I thought this was funny: "It seems like Philip is—or should be—friends with Zaki Mughal [sivoais]." -- Philip Durbin's Open Source Report Card - http://osrc.dfm.io/pdurbin :)
01:52 sivoais haha, but where did they get the idea that I use Emacs Lisp?
01:59 pdurbin no idea
01:59 pdurbin sivoais: were you able to compile that csound project?
02:49 sivoais pdurbin: yes, I did and I listened to it :-)
03:58 pdurbin ok, good

13:41 pdurbin aditsu: yeah, it's because I'm using easyHeadsOn, which is not the default. I figure once my kids and I are better at reading music I'll take them off
13:42 pdurbin http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/note-heads#easy-notation-note-heads
13:45 pdurbin aditsu: patches welcome if you think the songs would sound better if I modified them slightly... I just can't have them be too hard to play... not yet anyway :)
