The following message was posted to: dance-tech Greetings, My name is Franck Stofer and I am the owner of the experimental music record label Sonore, from France, which released CDs such as Chris Brown's 'Talking Drum's', Fuzzybunny's 'Fuzzybunny', Carl Stone's 'Nak Won' or Yuko Nexus6's 'Journal de Tokyo' (more info at <http://www.sonore.com>http://www.sonore.com). I am sending this letter to you today because I am representing a small team comprised of Bordeaux-based musicians, sound engineers, programmers. They are interested in expanding the use of Max/MSP. This team is called JazzMutant (Guillaume Largillier, Julien Olivier and Pascal Joguet - more info will be available soon at jazzmutant.com). As with most Max/MSP programmers, their areas of interest are live performances, algorithmic compositions, real-time interactions and sound installations. At the same time, they are contributing to several scientific projects within the SCRIME, an acoustic-music and computer science research laboratory also based in Bordeaux. Regurlarly facing tricky problems with real-time control and being unsatisfied with standard solutions, they decided to conceive a dedicated controller able to answer live performance needs. They have developed a controller which is modular enough to adapt itself to a diversity of instruments. It fully utilizes the tactile skills of the user, and is handy and portable. Briefly, their product can be defined as a handy touchpanel-based controller with all the necessary hardware and software to setup, display and manipulate sophisticated user interfaces. In order to finalize the controller development and to consider manufacturing an evaluation version in short-term, we need to collect from Max/MSP community, informations and suggestions to validate the relevance of our technological choices. Therefore we would be grateful if you could contribute to our initiative by filling in the following questionnaire. <http://www.jazzmutant.com/form.html>http://www.jazzmutant.com/form.html For any comments or questions regarding JazzMutant project or the questionnaire itself, don't hesitate to contact us at <mailto:info@jazzmutant.com>info@jazzmutant.com You can also subscribe to a JazzMutant newsletter which should be created soon. Thanks for your time. Best Regards, Franck Stofer ---------------------------------------- The Dance-Tech mailing list has recently moved to a new address.
