Pyo: DSP and synthesis software for Python

This presentation will introduce "pyo", a C-level library with Python
bindings that is designed for musical/audio synthesis, and my own software
"microcsound", which is a score-generation front-end to Csound, a well-know
audio synthesis programming language. In particular, microcsound was
designed to allow a richer vocabulary of musical pitch (alt-tuned scales,
microtones, N-pitches per octave, etc.) than the one available via standard
12-notes per octave tuning of typical Western music. So, there will be some
explanation of the historical background that drove the creation of this
software, but it should be a fascinating topic for all. I will give brief
demonstrations of the kind of out-of-the-box fun one can have with sound
using Pyo, and snippets of the kind of work I've done with both it, and
with microcsound. Anyone interested in the possibilities presented by
Python software for electronic music, and/or electronic music in general,
should find this talk interesting, informative, and entertaining.
