[Csnd-dev] CsoundMeta - Install the APK - Join me in the MetaVerse

Hello Csounders,


As some of you know, for the past 4 years, I have been working with
my students at Berklee, making music with Rory Walsh’s amazing CsoundUnity
API and inspired by the great work of Giovanni Beditti in CsoundUnity.


At the 2024 ICSC in Vienna, we performed and workshopped our latest
version, developed by the brilliant Hung Vo (Strong Bear), called
“CsoundMeta,” and premiered my latest composition - “Csound Dreams in the
MetaVerse”.


We are planning to feature a new performance of the piece, workshopping the
system, and then ClubJamming with the software at the 50th anniversary of
the International Computer Music Conference in Boston this June 11,12.


I am honored to be one of the three Keynote Speakers for ICMC 2025, and
here are a few links about the event and my plans for CsoundMeta there:


The event: https://icmc2025.sites.northeastern.edu/


My keynote (on June 11):

And, in addition to what is stated in the links above, I am doing a
workshop on Csound in the METAverse on the morning of June 12 (in the Loft
@ Berklee), and, we will be getting together in a local bar/nightclub that
evening with the workshop participants (and my 21 year old students to have
a Csound in the METAverse Jam at “Kings” on the evening of the 12th.


Would you like to try CsoundMeta?

Would you like to join the workshop from your studio, classroom, or home?

Would you, your students, your friends, or your children like to install
CsoundMeta on your Quest2, 3, 3s, or Pro?


Strong Bear and I have been live-streaming this past week and helping
students and colleagues get started with the system so that they could
participate in the FlashMob at the end of my Keynote and Jam in the
workshop and nightclub on June 12


I would love you to join in the fun.
