Chris Chafe – Internet Musician

Chris Chafe, pictured left, has an office at the Banff Centre and I was completely impressed with his musicianship and improvising talent. I have been informed by Pauline Oliveros that:
Chris Chafe is the director of CCRMA at Stanford University. He is on sabbatical leave and is in residence at Banff Centre until September 2009.
While I was in Banff, he was involved in several Telematic concerts that involved Pauline Oliveros and Ione in the “Chris Chafe, Pauline Oliveros, Ione Trio”.
I was thrilled to find a Ubuntu Linux user and he told me that he was using an application called jacktrip, based on jackd to patch the Telematic communication over the internet.
I will talk more about this later, but I witnessed some very low latency musical interaction between Chris (in Toronto) and Pauline Oliveros and Ione in Banff. This concert could also be experienced live in Second Life, a virtual reality, on-line world. These mixed reality concerts, where avatars are watching concerts that the real person is playing in are a new experience for me.
After he returned to Banff, a rehearsal with Jonas, who I met in WA, and another musician I did not know, both in NY state; joined Chris and Pauline in Banff through the internet connection facilitated by jacktrip. They recorded in Banff using Ardour on Ubuntu Linux.
This is a really interesting area to explore in Linux and he will be an invaluable resource to help me develop my move into Open Source music. “The Chris Chafe Trio”, including Chris, Pauline and Ione, also performed live in the Walter Philips Gallery in Banff and I produced the film that accompanied their musical performance. I will devote a post to this concert, and write much more about all of the exciting work that I was involved in supporting Fleck Fellow, Pauline Oliveros. While I was in Banff, I was too busy doing the work to write about my experiences. I did take photos and will be posting them as soon as I can.
Right now I am at an internet cafe in Calgary and I plan to start my journey home to Vancouver with stops in Banff, and Summerland. More photos and posts as soon as I have reliable internet. Thanks to Pauline Oliveros for the corrections.

Martyn Brown: Pipeline polls are for fake news trolls

Former premier Gordon Campbell's long-time chief of staff delves into the details of public opinion research—and how it's being used to flog Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion project.#nopipelines Kinder-Morgan and other pipelines shipping #dilbit are for export only. In British Columbia we have a small refinery that can only process conventional oil. Despite decades of efforts by unions to have oil refined in Canada, the majority is shipped out on pipelines. #jobs are shipped out with this non-renewable resource. Then Canadians buy the #gasoline back at higher prices. Yes, it is a system that only benefits the #fossilfuel companies. "Contrary to what many consumers assume, Canada doesn't produce and refine much of the gasoline consumed in the country, so prices here are heavily dependent on refiners in the U.S. And gasoline demand is rising just about everywhere in the world right now, so Canada has to pay more for its share.
"Prices in Canada aren't established in Canada; they're made in the U.S.," says Roger McKnight, chief petroleum analyst with En-Pro. "So whatever happens to the wholesale price in the U.S. automatically hiccups into Canada."http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/gas-prices-analysis-1.4626692Pipelines, politics and petrodollars: Here's why Canadian gas prices are spiking | CBC News

Doing a double take over how much it costs to fill up a tank of gas is a classic Canadian irritation. But a confluence of factors are teaming up at the moment to make that process even more gobsmacking than usual. Here's a look at five big reasons why gas prices are soaring.#nopipelines

Justin Trudeau wants to hand billions of taxpayer dollars to Texas oil execs – so they can force a pipeline to the B.C. coast. Many government MPs and cabinet ministers are secretly horrified, but they need Canadians backing them up. Send your message.
