Once again, the SUSE band is coming together to make music and we're planning a party this time round!!!
We have a band name :-)
We are
SUSE LOUD !!!
Watch us on Thursday night at the HackWeek Party in Nürnberg. We've got a treat for you all then.
This is one of the few HackWeek projects, which actually continues in between HackWeeks, where a group of dedicated musicians give up several hours of their free time every fortnight to learn new songs and practice them.
Here is an example of what we do. Check out this video from last year's OSC16: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OdoL1uhi20
Do you play an instrument or are interested in music in general and would like to meet others with the same interest? We are always looking out to recruit new people and HackWeek gives us the perfect opportunity to meet the new musicians who will be playing with us at the next HackWeek event.
To get involved you can join this project and also the SUSE musicians mailing list (musicians@suse.de). Let's meet up and share some ideas.
Now that our main Hackweek event is over, I imagine that there will be several musicians meeting up during the week for a jam session. If you're interested in joining, then join our mailing list.
Oh, and by the way, we won the most fun, most liked and most participated HackWeek13 project. Let's see if we can achieve this again.
Have a lot of fun(k)!

Unfortunately I'll be "remote" during hackweek. But I'm definitely I'm interested in the subject. Specially in music production (jack, ardour, lv2 plugins, etc.). In the previous hackweek my plan was writing a Yast module to control jackd and make it live gracefully with pulseaudio. I didn't make it and for this hackweek my focus has changed, but I'd still be interested in sharing views about the subject, of course.

I am interested but my musical equipment is back in my home in Greece. I play electric guitar and synth. For example, I use mostly Line6 products such as POD HD 500 which doesn't works on Linux :( and I usually edit stuff in several programs. However, I am still searching for the linux version of Guitar Pro.

Seems like we will have an electric drum set, I can bring my Korg KROME 88, which at least can be an ultimate hammer-weight full-blown MIDI keyboard anyway, although its internal sounds are still better than most software available. :-) To make James learn something new per this hackweek, I will bring my 5-string fretless bass for him to see what happens. :-D

I will try to bring my POD HD300 and my guitar. I am also particularly interested in "Want to give your family/friends an easy way of accessing and adding to your music collection - using Linux/OpenSource tools". The thing is that more and more people are into Youtube or Soundcloud (includign myself) and they are "forced" to NOT use Linux (e.g. drivers).
Next to that, what I would like do in this hackweek is to create a --"let's say"-- youtuber's guide for Linux musicians including the: 1) Editing software (if there's video sequence) and some settings for the trascoded output 2) Recording Software + Mastering audio 3) Driver list for the supported products 4) Cables or monitor speakers or other stuff that might be required for the full experience

Needless to mention: adding Ardour package to openSUSE would move things better! (http://ardour.org/) Right now it is available only as a source and build it on our distro could be a nice add-on to the pool of the software. :-)

It seems, there is an old package in https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/multimedia:apps/ardour but it has compilation errors

For any shareable noises we could create a geeko-group group on soundcloud.com

I'm almost completely unmusical, but I want to hack on Sonic Pi (http://sonic-pi.net/), removing raspbian hardcoded hacks, packaging it for openSUSE and maybe making some sound.

Anyone aware of a chord recognition program for Linux or Android? There is chordec for iphone, but I'm using Android/Linux. For Android there is Anysong, no longer updated since 2012, which no longer works with recent Android version ("File format unsupported"), apparently due to a permission problem according to 'adb logcat'.
