                  Radio Randio is an algorithmic in-real-time internet radio. All the music is generated in real-time by algorithms developed using
                  <a href="http://puredata.info/" target="_blank">Pure Data</a>. We are not associated in any way with Pure Data, but we love it.
                  We also love open-source software and use it to make the stream possible.
                  The streaming server is self-maintained by us and at the moment could be not 100%
                  reliable. We are open to collaboration and we hope to attract artists whishing to share
                  their patches with us and our listeners.

                  Randio consists of an <a href="http://www.icecast.org/" class="barra" target="_blank">Icecast</a>
                  server providing an online audio stream and of Pure Data
                  patches, one for each piece, generating the audio stream. These patches are called by a
                  scheduler, which is also a patch. Each piece has a minimum streaming time and an additional variable one defined a-priori.
                  When the patch is called by the scheduler, the total streaming time is computed.
                  The scheduler calls all the patches one after the other, and at the end of this playlist
                  it starts over and over again. We prefer to use non-deterministic patches, but determistic ones are also used.
                  Occasionally, we also stream soundscapes. We share all patches included in our playlist with our contributors.

                  In Randio each patch is opened and then closed each time it is performed. This process has the side effect that, for each performance, the random numbers generated by Pd's [random] object are always the same. This behavior could be sometimes desirable, as instance when an artist wants to use randomness during the process of composition, but also wants to be sure that its piece will eventually sound as expected.
                  In other cases different random numbers for each performance are desired, in order to have a slightly different sound for each execution. In the latter case Pd's [random] object alone is not sufficient, it is necessary to change the seed of the random number generator at each boot of the patch.
                  For this purpose, we here provide two objects to be used when composing a randio piece. The first one is [urandom], which uses [binfile], which in turn is a component of <a href="http://puredata.info/downloads/mrpeach" class="barra" target="_blank">mrpeach</a>
                  library. Here [binfile] is used to read 1 byte of data from /dev/urandom, a special file capable to supply pseudo-random data in Unix-like operating systems. Another approach is exploited by [trandom], which generates a random seed by using current system time.
                  Here system time is provided by the [time] object from <a href="https://puredata.info/downloads/zexy" class="barra" target="_blank">zexy</a> library. Both these objects works just like [random] and can be used instead of the traditional [random] object. [urandom] can be downloaded
                  <a href="randiom/urandom.pd" class="barra" target="_blank">here</a>, while
                  [trandom] can be downloaded <a href="randiom/trandom.pd" class="barra" target="_blank">here</a>,
                  feel free to download and use them for your next patch. We tend to do not stream patches without some randomness inside, and contributions without randomness are discouraged.

                  We welcome new artists that whishes to stream their patches through Randio. We encourage the creation and stream of non-deterministic patches, but determistic ones
                  are also appreciated. If you would like to send us a patch, please do. Send us an
                  <a href="mailto:randio@autoproduzioni.net" class="barra" target="_blank">email</a>
                  following these guidelines:
                  <ul>
                    <li>The patch must auto-start. Be sure to activate it with [loadbang] objects.</li>
                    <li>DSP must auto-start. Be sure to activate it with a [;pd dsp 1] message bound
                        to a [loadbang].</li>
                    <li>Audio output must flow through a [dac~] object.</li>
                    <li>Each patch must be contained in its own directory, even if only one .pd
                        file is involved.</li>
                    <li>If a patch needs custom objects or samples these must be stored in their own
                        sub-directory, inside the directory of the patch. These sub-directories must be
                        declared inside the patch by using a [declare] object. Always use relative and
                        never absolute paths. Example: [declare -path ./samples]</li>
                    <li>Add an info.txt file to your patch. An info.txt file is a text file containing
                        information about the piece and the artist. It should be written following simple
                        rules as described inside <a href="txt/info.txt" class="barra" target="_blank">info.txt</a>
                        sample file. In this file you can also write the name of the license of your patch and
                        citations about samples or other things used that require a citation. Example: a sample file
                        released under a Creative Commons Attribution license.</li>
                    <li>Specify the time that your composition takes inside info.txt file. This time is composed by a fixed duration,
                        (as to say the minimum amount of time the composition should take), and a variable duration (an additional number of minutes
                        that can be added to the fixed duration).
                        If your piece needs a fixed duration only, these values will be something like: Fixed_duration: 4, Variable_duration: 0.
                        If your piece has a variable duration, add a reasonable amount of minutes to the variable duration camp inside info.txt.
                    <li>Add a license file. It is a text file containing the license of your choice for your patch. Example:
                        <a href="txt/license.txt" class="barra" target="_blank">license.txt</a>.</li>
                    <li>Compress all these files in an .tar.gz or .zip archive. The content of the
                        archive should have the following structure:
                      <ol>
                        <li>piece_name</li>
                        <li>info.txt</li>
                        <li>license.txt</li>
                        <li>piece_name.pd</li>

                      </ol>
                    </li>
                    <li>Send the archive to us by writing an <a href="mailto:randio@autoproduzioni.net" class="barra" target="_blank">email</a> with the subject: "New Randio patch!".</li>
                    <li>All patches sent in a different way as described, with a not properly designed archive or patch, or sent to a different address, or sent with a different subject will be ignored.</li>

                  Radio Randio developers are free to stream Radio Randio and its contents in any way, with any means and for any purpose. People who wish to contribute to Radio Randio must understand and accept that. If an artist decide to share his work with us and our listeners, we will cite him as the original
                  author of his work, but in order to make our collaboration possible it is important that:
                  <ul>
                    <li> The code must be released under the terms of some open source license that grant us the right to use and share the code.</li>
                    <li> The music generated and the data used to generate it (for example samples) must be released using licenses
                    that grant to us the possibility to stream freely without restrictions.</li>
                  </ul>
                  <p>

                    If you use samples or other data that is released under the terms of a license that require citation of the original author, remember to do that and write all required references inside the info.txt file and the patch. It is forbidden the use of samples, compositions or anything that is protected by any form of copyright that does not grant
                    the possibility to share the work freely and without payment and/or belonging to any kind of copyright collection society. The verification of the copyright status of each part of a patch is a duty of the author of the patch itself, and must be
                    done before sending the patch to Randio. Either if the author of a patch is member of any kind of copyright collection society or not, Randio and its developers
                    can not be held responsible for issues regarding the author of a patch and any copyright collection society. When we receive a patch and its complementary files from an author we trust that the sender has the rights to send us that
                    patch and its complementary files. The author of the patch, will be cited during the stream of its music by writing his name and the name of the piece
                    as Icecast metadata. The correct operation of this citation process is not 100% guaranteed but it should work. We like and accept the following licenses:
                  </p>
                  <ul>
                    <li> Creative Commons licenses that also allow commercial use of the work. </li>
