Had you not been told?

It has been discovered that Kyma is highly addictive and ranks higher than any drugs found on the open or the black market.

As a result, all the governments of the world have agreed and out ruled it's use, hence the silence of the forums.

This happened 15 days ago if you can work out what day that was.

if so, let's join our mouses, ipads, tablets, keyboards and continuums,
and fight them back!

Kyma to the people!

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....

imagine ... a display with a pen... where you could paint you sound in "reel-time" with pressure sensitivity of 2048 levels... create your own programs in Processing or Quartz Composer and have Kyma controlled via OSC in the Background with optical feedback ... creating the most amazing precise eye to hand to ear co-ordination available INTER-face of today..

just kidding.. thought it would be nice to find a "compromise" to make it even better,faster,easy and comfortable ...;-)

Have a nice day!
Cheers
Chris

and imagine*
instead of surveillance cameras
there are Kyma sensors on the buildings
and

it is spring (about now)
it is early morning
and
you are siting in a cafe on the small town square
drinking cappuccino
listening

everybody - everything
all that passes by
makes a sound
playing on a
harp with no strings
which is Kyma

a small dog chases pigeons
the flock fly off
a couple walks by
hand in hand
an old man with a cane
a nun murmuring prayers
a delivery truck
unloading

and then
church bells joins in harmony
you check your watch
it is 8 o'clock and
you have to go

walking across the square you stir sensors
and waves of sound
in your wake
bounce off walls and windows and doors
people in cafe nods
in recognition-admiration
of your performance
(movement of their heads and hands makes a chorus to your lead and
it all fades out as you walk away)

imagine
a small square in the spring
and
people hearing their presence
became aware of their presence

playing on a
harp with no strings
which is Kyma

*please, o you native speakers, give us a word for the process of “soundening”,
so we don’t have to use words from the world of vision to describe sound

Strangely (or significantly?) there does not seem to be an auditory equivalent for words like "envision" or "imagine".

We should invent some and start using them. If we say them enough and if there is a need for the words, they might catch on. Maybe "in your mind's ear", enaudition, aurify, animi-auris, paraudiate, cognisonate?
