Dear Ann,
Great to hear all the news – many thanks.
Very curious about LOLA (Claudio, please do let me know /when
you might need alpha/beta testers) – and congrats to Brian for the
pending release of EchoDamp! I am looking forward to the Windows version!! J
One small correction – the ConferenceXP masterclass in
Brazil was between USP and Barcelona. We did test extensively between Brazil
and TCU previous to this, but on the day of the event I was actually in São
Paulo and did the masterclass from there. It was great to meet Tereza Cristina
and the rest of her team and to work with our Spanish colleagues.
All best and regards to all,
José

Hello all -- Here is my best attempt to capture
our meeting last week. Please feel free to reply with
additions/corrections. Also, those cc'd I believe are not in the
Performing Arts Advisory email group. Let me know if you would like to be
added (it's fairly low traffic). It was great to be with so many of
you in person, and I am particularly pleased with the increasing interest in
international collaborations! All best. -- Ann

Brian Shepard announced the pending release of his year-long project,
EchoDamp!! www.echodamp.com By
clicking on the mixing board diagram, an online tour of EchoDamp features is
available. This will greatly benefit our community by providing a
user-friendly way to in manage echo in live performing arts events over
advanced networks. University of Southern California's Stevens Institute
for Innovation will license the software and has agreed to release it at no
charge to educational institutions. Thank you Brian for this great
contribution to our community!!
Paul Bauer met with us remotely and served as a case study for setting up an
institution to work with multiple collaborators with varying
technologies. Paul has successfully wired two performance halls at
Northern Illinois University's School of Music with HD cameras, webcast
capabilities, DVTS, ConferenceXP, and an HD Polycom unit.
Congratulations to NIU School of Music and feel free to contact Paul if you are
interested in collaborating with NIU. "Paul Bauer"

Claudio Allocchio presented a status report on development efforts for LOLA -
the low latency A/V communication tool for networked musical performance. The
codec latency of this software is a remarkable 5 milliseconds. Notably,
this application currently requires a dedicated circuit to reduce network
latency. Claudio will keep us posted when developers are ready for
testing locations.
Lloyd Shorter joined us remotely to discuss an upcoming event with Philip
Glass, 8:00 p.m. 6 March 2010. This will be a first-ever
performance of Persephone" with the Philadelphia Singers.
Plans are underway to netcast the performance from the Annenberg Center on the
University of Pennsylvania campus. Lloyd also updated us on plans
for Philadelphia's 2011 Festival with Paris and new music group Relache's plans
to compose and perform live music during a showing of a silent film in
Paris.
We welcomed Gary Haggerty from Berklee College of Music, Internet2's newest
member in the performing arts realm. Among many initiatives requiring
Internet2 and partners, Berklee has plans to open a campus in Valencia Spain
and will plan to work simultaneously with students on both
campuses.
Kirsty Guster updated us on Australia's 17 regional conservatories and their
project plans with Manhattan School of Music. Kirsty just spent two
weeks working with Christianne Orto at Manhattan School of Music to set project
goals and learn the production environment. Australia National University'
primary platform for this project will be Polycom HD.
Tereza Carvalho just successfully completed her the first master class between
the University of Sao Paulo and Texas Christian University, working with José
Feghali. They used Conference XP and had a successful experience.
Congratulations Tereza, and note, we now have a collaborator in Brazil!
Tim Boundy spoke of his plans to connect the Royal Shakespeare company.
He was very inspired by the Philadelphia Orchestra's Global Concert Series and
would like to model some of RSC's work after this. The initial goal
is to enable RSC to work between London and Stratford.
