General Discussion: Online technical lecture about the Eigenharp's design by John Lambert

Agreed, the hangouts happen well before I can watch them live. A recording or transcript would work for me. I would very much like to learn more about the internals however. The wiki doesn't explain it at all.

Hi everyone,

Following yesterday's Eigenharp Clubhouse and the participant's interested in the actual internal design of the Eigenharp, I talked to John today about him doing the lecture he gave at the Audio Engineering Society in London last June. This would happen online using Google+ Hangouts as a special guest speaker during one of the clubhouse dates. As a reminder, it takes place on Mondayss at 4pm CEST.

The talk will introduce the instrument before exploring the engineering challenges that were encountered and solved as part of its eight year development process. The sensor design, physical layout and communications system will be described along with a discussion on the importance of different types of software instruments, the emerging Open Sound Control standard and the use and limitations of MIDI in expressive environments.

Before setting this up, we'd like to know who would be interested in such a lecture which will include some highly technical engineering topics, but also fascinating details about how our wonderful instrument came to life.

Take care,

Geert

Would definitely watch that (presumably as a recording as I am usually at work at 4 pm). Not sure whether I would understand every "highly technical engineering topic" (especially if non-basic electrical engineering, mechanical engineering or in deepth physical prerequisites are necessary). Would nonetheless be interesting :)

Would be interested for sure.

I think I'm not alone here, and it's always a pleasure to listen to John, even more talking about the Eigenharps...
Even If I'm most curious and passioned about the Eigenharps, I can leave one "chair" free, ( for more adequate and avid interested people) and of course watch it later recorded...
Thumbs up for Geert's idea!

Me too, but you might want to wait until either we can get >10 people on or they have a broadcast capabiity?

I'd interested in hearing that.

If the number of people is too great for live. I'd be happy to watch the recording later.

I can't make the targeted time, but would love to watch it later.

Absolutely interested in hearing this lecture but I will have to watch it after the fact online.

Yes ! I am very interested. Would even get up in the middle of the night to hear about it. Thanks for asking John about this.

I am definitely interested, though may not be able to watch at the designated time.

Really interested to see this, though indeed the recording may be most interesting to me because of the time.

Likewise. Would love to look at the recording, but I can't make the hangouts as I'm working.
