lloopp is a software written in max/msp, designed for live-improvising, interactive
installations etc.
lloopp is freeware, open source, please note its copyleft.
lloopp is written by artists who use this very software for their performances.

Introduction
MaxMSP/Jitter is a programming environment specialized for digital media
performing or installation. It covers audio, video, sensors, data-management and
like most programming-languages, it can help realizing any artistic concepts in
this field.
lloopp, built in MaxMspJitter, is a ready-made interface, facing artists who
don't want to learn how to program but want more from a software, than usually
offered by commercial releases.
It is written by artists that use it for their own performances carried by the
idea, that sharing helps to increase the quality of artistic outputs and saves a
lot of time.
lloopp is under permanent developement, used by many performers all over the
world, who push the tool with new needs and create a network of artists working
in different domains. it runs under Mac-OSX or WindowsXP, and is free to
download and use.
When speaking of various artists, lloopp is used by christian fennesz, keiko U.
(o.blaat), taku unami, christof kuzmann, paulo raposo, alessandro fogar and many
others.
Lecture/Workshop (several options)
- A lecture, presenting the tool to potential users, giving a brief overview
about the software‘s concept, followed by a discussion of individual needs.
(2-6 hours)
- A hands-on workshop, dedicated to people who bring their own laptop, with the
aim that everybody makes the software sing on his own laptop.
(3-20 hours)
- A workshop directed to programmers with some MaxMSP experience. we will dig in
the basic programming structures of lloopp, providing the source to interact to
and from any max-patch, offering an introduction in integrating own max patches
into the lloopp-environment.
(6-8 hours)
- A performance of the workshop participants.
the workshop will be held by klaus filip & noid.
Technical needs for the workshop
- video-projector (VGA-input)
- sound-system (a 4 loudspeaker-setup would be perfect), audio mixer
- 2 microphones (depending on room size)
- tables & power supply for all participants

lloopp details
history
lloopp started as a sample-based loop-machine with plugins in 1998 (MacOS9), as
a shared performance-patch of klaus filip. the open architecture of the patch
invited other programmers to join in and
lloopp grew to a modular instrument with a lot of functionalities on generating
and manipulating sounds, and at least a basic open door to video. keywords:
loop, samples, synthezisers, recording, vst, midi, OSC, controling, granular
synthesis, spatialization, plugins, modulation, etc.
„open source“
spatial model of lloopp at the exibition „sounds & files“, wien 2001.
logically lloopp was ported to OSX in around 2003. since fall 2005 the
totally revised hybrid version for OSX and WindowsXP is available.
besides of the availabilty on XP, the aim of this new version was to make it
very easy to integrate new modules into lloopp.
main developers of the current version is again klaus filip together with noid
(arnold haberl).

modular architecture
one of the most powerful features of lloopp is its networking structur. every
parameter can be controled from any module and audio-routing similarily goes in
any direction.
some 50 different modules (so called acts), can interact.
http://lloopp.klingt.org
each user can create his personal setup consisting of
available modules and save this as a so called environment.
any
combination

this environment is an additive synth example.
the circle-shaped central patch is used to route modulating signals to the sinewaves.

screenshot of „homemade“ by visualartproyektil
this setup was used to project pixel animations on 4 screens. the pictures were
sensor-controlled by the dancers.

besides that every module has an own customizeable preset-handling as well as
the possibility to create individual layouts.
3 different layouts of the same module.
programming support
as mentioned earlier, it is fairly easy to communicate with, or integrate own
max-patches. an object called „actmaker“ turns a max-patch instantly into a
lloopp-act and there are templates for common tasks, like audio in-out, video
in-out and presets.

noid aka arnold haberl
cello | electronics | improvisation | composition
*6.7.1970, lives in Vienna
With his music he tries to understand the reality of sound we live in. Of course
this reality is including imaginations, wishes, dreams and acoustical
halluzinations as well as the sound of the fan of his laptop or the wolf-tone of
his cello.
His sensual approach, once in a while assisted by structural concepts, can have
a wide range of contradictory outcome, that is always to be understood as a
concentrate (essence), leaving out irrelevant points. It's up to the listener to
extract a digestable dose.
solo works:
"monodigmen", "ausflug ins gruene" "speakersaver" "you're not here"
ensemble pieces:
"multidigmen"-series, ensemble resonance, laptop-conduction (w/ klaus
filip), "rahmenbedingung" (w/ klaus filip, dieb13, nicolaj kirisits)
installations:
"die selbstschenkerin", "wann kommt musik?" (w/ erik hable)

klaus filip
computer | programmer
*24.2.1963 vienna
Almost all of Klaus Filip's art projects have been driven by technological
possibilities and the social need to change structures. Among them subVoice (an
underground tapemagazine), Sigis Bruder (early electronic songs together with
singer Sigi Ecker), Christof Kurzmann's Orchester 33 1/3, Zentrifuge, music for
short films, theatre, dance, sound-installations. He is the musical and electromechanic father of BigBaby, an outstanding intermedial project around a
sculpture build by Red White and brought to life by the movements of Cynthia
Schwertsik.
Filip is the inventor and never sleeping developer of the open-source software
lloopp (http://lloopp.klingt.org), a musical instrument on the computer to
provide open structures for live-improvisation, used by many well-known
electronic musicians.
He is teaching MaxMSP/Jitter/lloopp at the Vienna university for applied arts.
While he used to play on the edge of a computers abilities in the past years, he
is now reducing the processes to mere sinus-waves, overlapping with themselves
and the ever sounding surroundment of a place; searching for the individual
limits of perception, in loudness and movement. Colaborations with Radu
Malfatti, Werner Dafeldecker, Dieb13, Christof Kurzmann, Boris Hauf, Christian
Fennesz, Jason Kahn, John Butcher, Sabine Marte, Gilles Aubry, noid, Cordula
Bösze, Silvia Faessler, Taku Unami, Taku Sugimoto, Toshimaru Nakamura, Arnold
"noid" Haberl, Ivan Palacky.
