Our warmest congratulations to Stein Olav Henrichsen, Artistic Director of Bit20 Ensemble. Stein has just been nominated Director of the New Munch Museum in Oslo.
This week we were delighted to host another coding spring at our lab in Birmingham Conservatoire. In attendance were Kjetil Matheussen (Notam), Krzysztof Trzewiczek (Muzyka Centrum), Thomas Musil (IEM), Henrik Frisk (Malmö Academy of Music) and Leighton Hargreaves (Birmingham Conservatoire). It was an intense and enjoyable week with significant gains in development momentum.
The focus of the sprint was to prepare the software for our upcoming beta release, now available for download via the Integra site. We instigated a feature freeze in the main application at the beginning of the week, and focused on bug fixes, stability and improvements to module usability. Work will now continue at individual research centres with regular updates and documentation to be released in the coming weeks.
