The LAM-lib is available on GitHub! This Max/MSP library contains useful bits of patch and abstractions for digital music instrument making. This development is brought to you thanks to the PANAM project funded by ANR.
It is free, open-source, and forkable… Enjoy!
La cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie organise une exposition sur la voix du 10 décembre 2014 au 28 septembre 2014.
Vous pourrez notamment y faire votre propre “phonétogramme”, grâce à un dispositif que j’ai développé en collaboration avec Boris Doval de l’équipe Lutherie Acoustique Musique de l’institut Jean Le Rond d’Alembert.
ONE jouera les 1er, 2 et 3 avril à l’église St Merri (Paris) dans le cadre du festival organisé par Puce Muse.

The digital lutherie toolkit you need.
LAM-lib is a toolkit for Max/MSP providing all kind of useful goodies you need when building digital music instrument with Max. I started it during my work at the Lutherie Acoustique Musique lab. It is distributed under LGPL licence so that you can check it, fork it, buy it, sell it, use it, break it, fix it, trash it…etc. Just credit it.

John, the semi-conductor.
John is an application meant for collective free improvisation, which was born out of the needs encountered in free improvisation practice with the Orchestre National Electroacoustique.
Namely, John was invented as a virtual companion to find stimulating answers for issues encountered in collective free improvisation, like precise timings for transitions between contrasting parts, articulations of large movements, or the proposal of unusual scores taking us off the beaten path.
It is made of two parts :
Its name refers to both John Cage and John Doe.
The original development was made with Max, then later reworked to a reactive web app.
ONE (aka l’Orchestre National Electroacoustique) jouera “Les Tribulations” les 24 et 25 janvier 2014 à 20h00 au Triton (Les Lilas).
Le phonétogramme is an interactive audio-visual booth created and developed for the “Cité des Sciences” museeum in Paris. It consists in a graph showing the pitch versus the loudness of a voice. It shows various characteristics of one’s voice, including the ambitus, the change of amplitude at vocal register shifts, and possible voice disorders.
The installation involved a multitouch screen to control the multilingual app for the Cité des Sciences audience. A distance sensor was also used to ensure the distance between the user and the microphone was correct. All the graphics and sound interaction design was made with Cycling’74 Max.
It was a challenging thing to design the UI with Max/jitter, but a good opportunity to test the limits of what could be achieved there. This project triggered the development of the MP.TUI package.
Computer graphics and multimedia production for the exhibition “La voix, l’expo qui vous parle”.

OrJo (for “Joysticks Orchestra”) is a research and development project on virtual instruments orchestra practices. This project involves several partners : Puce Muse (project coordinator), LAM, the LIMSI and the company 3Dlized.
I worked with the LAM-team on the development of “Dynamic intermediate Models” for digital lutherie which involve physical, topological and statistical interactions.
