Independently by his preferred technology, 3D-EST, Ambisonics, 3D Surround, spatialization or wave field synthesis, the modern sound designer needs a reliable and practical solution for his installations. An easy to use and ergonomic solution, also suitable for the end-user or the not-so-skilled operator. A solution that does not require a personal computer: X-spat player.

Creating a Remix w/ D.Satori (2/16/18)
Presented by D. Satori | www.dannysatori.com
Hosted by Mmmmaven | http://mmmmaven.com/
Have you ever heard a track, and wanted to give it a twist with a fresh, unique sound? If so, please join us on Friday, the 16th of November, as D.Satori shares his global approach to creating the ultimate remix. From conceptualization to execution, D will deconstruct the different levels of building harmonic/melodic motifs, quick tips for Ableton Live workflow, and deconstructing select reference tracks. Open to all levels from Beginner to Advanced, with a Q&A session to follow.
Whether it be performing live electronica at the Ableton Loop Conference in Funkhaus Berlin or hybrid DJ sets for ToUch Performance Art’s AcousticaElectronica, D.Satori is no stranger to artistic expression. Having been a featured artist on imprints such as Teknofonic Recordings (NYC) & Krafted Digital (London), D loves to share his passion for musicianship and advocates for the transcendent power of musical education. For more information, please visit www.dannysatori.com.
Level: Beginner - Advanced
Music, and all of its subtleties, is also data. From the small-time artists recording at home to the server farms powering your streaming services, tech evolution has reshaped the way artists produce songs and how you consume them. Music is art, just as it always was. It’s also ones and zeroes.
Adaptive podcasting is a dynamic approach to storytelling through audio productions that are tailored to the preferences and needs of audiences. It is a powerful way to connect with your audience on a deeper level by telling experiential stories adapted to their situation at the moment of listening, using mobile sensory data. Moreover, adaptive podcasting can make podcasts more accessible, as they can be adjusted to the needs of the listener, for instance by adjusting to their level of hearing all without sharing personal data.

Adaptive podcasting - the future of personalised podcast experiences
Imagine if the stories you listen to could adapt to your surroundings. To the time of day you’re listening to them, whether it’s light or dark outside; or if they could stretch or contract in length to fit with how long you’ve got to listen. That’s exactly what podcast listeners can experience with adaptive podcasting, a new podcast format that enables producers to make parts of their audio flexible - personalised to each listener, using data from listeners’ devices.

What is the Living room of the future for #mydata2019Ian Forrester
https://mydata2019.org/programme-page/public-spaces-private-data/
More and more people live their lives online, and we are encouraged to view the internet as a public space. However the personal data we bring to this space can be used in many inappropriate ways: Instagram stories are scraped to target advertisement; faces in family photographs are used to train the ML systems that will scan crowds for suspects; the devices we thought we owned end up owning us; and our browsing histories are stored and scanned by governments and private companies. This creates a tension for public service organisations as they try to deliver value to audiences and users online.
In this session experts from the BBC Research & Development, Finnish Broadcasting Company YLE, and PublicSpaces will consider how to resolve these tensions, and look at some specific interventions aimed at providing value to audiences and communities through the responsible use of private data in online public spaces.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
