Fifth International 'Conference on Narrative

                         SELF AND OTHER

           The Fifth International Conference on Narrative

October 18 - 20, 1996
Department of Communication
University of Kentucky

The University of Kentucky Department of Communication invites your
submissions to the Fifth International Conference on Narrative, to be
held Friday, October 18, to Sunday, October 20, in Lexington,
Kentucky.
     The theme of this year's conference, SELF AND OTHER, suggests topics 
addressing the diverse ways in which narrative helps us construe individual, 
social and cultural identities.  As in previous years, we would like to bring 
together scholars from a wide range of disciplines, including education, psychology, 
literatures and languages, communication, linguistics, anthropology, sociology, 
folklore, social work, medicine, art history, history, women's studies and all others 
interested in narrative. Theoretical and methodological contributions of all 
persuasions are as welcome as studies of narrative in context. The conference 
language is English; data sessions should be conducted in the most appropriate language.
     The International Conference on Narrative is a highly productive 
working event. Five presentation formats are offered; please indicate
your preference on the title page of your submission.
     (1) Research papers will be scheduled for panel sessions; panels
are most suitable for theoretical or programmatic topics that do not
require the sharing of extensive data sets. Presentations will be
limited to 20 minutes. Please mark your submission 'Panel.'
     (2) Posters will be set up and remain on display for the duration
of the conference. This format allows the presentation of larger
amounts of research data and provides a more individual setting for
discussion without time constraints. Please mark your submission
'Poster.'
     (3) Participants who travel with major data sets they intend to
share in a small-group setting may wish to reserve the special meeting
room available for this purpose. The room will be scheduled for no
more than two hours per individual. The number of data sessions is
limited and early submission of your proposal is suggested. Please
mark your submission 'Data session.'
     (4) Following the great success of this format at last year's
conference, three round-table discussions will be organized that focus
respectively on theoretical, methodological, and ethical issues
described by the conference theme.  Up to six programmatic statements
of no more than five minutes will be followed by a round-table
discussion with participation from the audience. Please mark your
submission accordingly.
     (5) Submissions are also invited for contributions to a special
preconference panel discussion on THE USES OF NARRATIVE IN
EDUCATION. Up to ten five-minute statements from on-site and off-site
participants will be followed by discussion. Preconference
participation is responsible for local networking and making their own
subscription arrangements. Call Sprint at 800-669-1235 for more
information. The University of Kentucky site ID is LEUKA; in case you
have any questions, your contact person is Gerald Ginter
(606-257-7797). There is no fee for this special event, but
registration is required. If this presentation format is successful,
its use will be extended in subsequent years. Please mark your
submission 'Preconference.'  Special Events

Lexikon-Sonate for Macintosh

Subject: LEXIKON-SONATE - now available as standalone program for Macintosh

LEXIKON-SONATE (1992-96) - an infinite and interactive realtime composition
environment - is now available as a standalone program.

It only requires an Apple Macintosh computer; an external MIDI-equipment is
not necessary, but can optionally be added. Thanks to QuickTime the musical
output is directly played throuh the loudspeaker of the computer.


System Requirements...
======================

     * Apple Macintosh (8 MB RAM min.), System 7.x
     * QuickTime 2.x
     * optional: MIDI-interface with a MIDI-instrument (piano sound)


Downloading...
==============

     http://www.neoism.org/neoism/squares/lexicon.html


About...
========

LEXIKON-SONATE is a interactive piece for MIDI-controlled player piano
which is composed and performed by computer software in real time. The
underlying program was written by Essl in MAX (Zicarelli and Puckette,
1990-1995 Opcode Systems Inc./ IRCAM), an interactive graphical programming
environment for multimedia, music, and MIDI, running on a Macintosh
computer. It draws from a large library of musical functions, compositional
techniques, and algorithmic strategies which Essl has developed over the
past few years: the "Real Time Composition Library" for MAX.

LEXIKON-SONATE consists of 24 music-generation modules which are related in
a very complex way as a musical HyperText. Each module generates a specific
characteristic musical output as a result of the compositional strategy
that has been applied. A module represents an abstract model of a specific
musical behaviour. It does not contain any pre-organized musical material,
but a formal description of it and the methods how it is being processed.
The idea of autopoiesis - material organizing itself due to certain
constraints - plays an important rule. By using a lot of different random
generators which are controlling each other (which - according to serial
thinking - form a scale between a completely deterministic and a completely
chaotic behaviour), new variants of the same model are generated. Variants
that may differ dramatically from each other, though they are always
perceptable as "inheritances" of the given structural model.

About This Issue

This is the 20th anniversary issue of "Computer Music Journal" and it covers
a broad range of activity within the field. The editor's note is a "mission
statement" for the Journal; reader comment is invited.

In the opening article, Joshua Cody speaks with Paul Lansky, who is widely
respected as a composer of instrumental and electroacoustic music, and also
as a software developer for his cmix language. They discuss a number of
interesting musical and technical topics. The accompanying CD begins with Mr.
Lansky's recent composition "Word Color."

The history of computer music and a "snapshot" of the current state of the
art, science, and engineering discipline is given F. Richard Moore, long a
contributor to "Computer Music Journal" and active member of its editorial
advisory board. The article, "Dreams of Computer Music-Then and Now," is
presented in terms of several generations of dreams and realities for the
practitioners of computer music.

Over the four issues of Volume 20, "Computer Music Journal" will publish a
series of survey or overview articles under the title of "The State of the
Art." The first installment includes five short contributions by noted
authorities writing on their respective areas of expertise. Under the title
"That was Then-This is Now" Laurie Spiegel--arguably the grande dame of computer
music--presents several interesting premises about the new philosophy of
electroacoustic music production and presentation. Johannes Goebel discusses
our level of success in meeting the promise of digital music in his note on
"Freedom and Precision of Control." John R. Pierce--one of the founders of the
field--also addresses the original promise and potential of new instruments. A
more technical "Perspective on Computer Music" is given by Roger B. Dannenberg,
and Xavier Rodet has written up his assesment of "Recent Developments in
Computer Sound Analysis and Synthesis."

One of the most exciting areas of computer application in music is real-time
performance interaction and "interactive composition." In their in-depth
article, Jean-Claude Risset and Scott Van Duyne introduce and evaluate their
work using Max with a computer-controlled acoustic piano in Risset's work
"Duet for 1 Pianist."

The KTH rule system for singing synthesis is a new system of performance
rules for life-like computer interpretation of musical scores using a
custom-designed speech synthesizer. The system is based on work at the KTH in
Stockholm over the last 20 years. Gunilla Berndtsson describes the hardware
and software used in several generations of the system, and presents the new
singing rules and their use in musical contexts.

The topic of synthesis and transformation is addressed by Larry Polansky and
Tom Erbe in their article on "Spectral Mutation in Soundhack." They describe
extensions to Erbe's popular Soundhack program that implement various modes
of cross-synthesis and spectral morphing.

The reviews include several events, publications, recordings, and products.
Frequent Journal reviewer Robert J. Owens writes up the 1995 ACM SIGGRAPH
conference and Anna Sofie Christiansen discusses the CCRMA 1995 summer
concert. Under the publications, T. X. Monda and Miller Puckette present two
different views on Trevor Wishart's important new work "Audible Design."
There are also five (!) recording reviews.

A wide range of hardware and software new product announcements closes the
main text of the issue.

This is followed by the extensive program notes for "Computer Music Journal's"
20th Anniversary compact disc, which includes compositions and extended
musical examples that tie in to the articles in this issue. The CD are Paul
Lansky, Lejaren Hiller and Leonard Isaacson, Jean-Claude Risset, Emmanuel
Ghent, Laurie Spiegel, John Chowning, Jean-Claude Risset, Larry Polansky and
Tom Erbe, Gunilla Berndtsson, and Gerald Bennett.

Front cover. The front cover bears the title "The Dance Around the Golden
Calf" and was composed by the Swedish visual artist Anders Ribbung based on
photographic sources from photographer Annika von Hausswolff and with
post-processing by Stephen Travis Pope. This image also appeared on the cover
of the classic CD Welcome to LuckPeople Center by LPC on the MNW label.

Back cover: The images on the back cover are 3-D spectral plots from the
work When Timbre Comes Apart (1992-95) by Jeran Rudi (music) and Roger O. 
Nordby (graphics). The work was realized at the University of Oslo in Norway
under the auspices of the Norwegian  Network for Technology, Acoustics and
Music (NoTAM). The sounds were realized using Apple Macintosh and Silicon
Graphics Inc., Indy computers, and the Symbolic Sound, Inc. Kyma system. The
visual idea was based on using a sonogram as the data set for rendering. 4-D
curves were drawn manually to describe the camera placement relative to the
spectrum, and its movement along the time axis. The notation included camera
angle, focus and which characteristics the material in the rendering model
should have. The camera choreography chosen with the intention of augmenting
the musical development, either by focusing on the strong sounding parts of
the spectrum, or by showing connecting elements. More complete program notes,
as well as additional images, can be found on the world-wide web at the URL
http://www.notam.uio.no/~joranru. A video tape of the entire piece can be
purchased from the composer by sending electronic mail to joranru@notam.uio.no.
