March 8th 2PM: Switch-from-Max!  ... (and other patch cable based systems)

A one-day workshop focusing on the free software SuperCollider and why
programming with syntax can be both easier and far superior to the
graphical ditto (aka. patching). It is unfortunate that code or syntax
often scares artists and musicians at first sight. We will try to cure
this fear by showing fairly simple examples of how SuperCollider can
be used to produce music and sound much more dynamically than using
the static and deceitfully easy patching paradigm.  More particularly
we will do granular synthesis, randomly generated synthesis networks
and networked music - all the things that are a real pain to do in
systems like Max/MSP.  

Intermediate level - knowledge of basic computer music concepts like
filters and envelopes is required, knowledge of some patching system
(Max/PD) is a plus.

--What to bring:

1) Laptop running Linux, OS X or Windows

2) SuperCollider 3 installed (version 3.2 recommended): http://supercollider.sourceforge.net/

3) Headphones

4) 10 Euros participation fee

--About the Teacher:

Fredrik Olofsson, aka. redFrik, is a musician and developer who also
sometimes performs tricks with visuals and electronics.
