- Introduction to SuperCollider - from the very beginning.
Saturday 17th & Sunday 18th of September 2011 13:00-18:00


SuperCollider is an environment and programming language for real time audio
synthesis and algorithmic composition. But what does that mean?

"Programming" is the act of giving a computer instructions to follow. Using
SuperCollider involves typing commands into a text window and getting some
sounds in return. So why would anybody want to do that?

       - for musicians: to have greater control over synthesis and create
sounds not possible through other means.
       - for sound engineers or scientists: to have a better understanding
of the nature of sound and digital audio.
       - for composers: to explore the world of algorithmic composition, an
area in which SuperCollider excels.

       -for the curious: to investigate something new and different, and
make some cool sounds.

Instructor: This course will be taught by Chris Jeffs an advanced
SuperCollider user who has been working with this software since the last
ten years.

- Field Effect with Martin Howse
Oct 21, 22, 23 2011/ 12:00-19:00 daily

A three day workshop actively exploring the effects of electromagnetic
fields on living systems; on the human body and the human psyche.

The effects of complex field interactions with such systems, particularly
with the psyche, are largely unknown and open to debate. Field Effect
proposes to obtain first-hand, experimental knowledge of these relations,
using DIY technologies. Experiments already suggest links between low
frequency electromagnetic emissions and experiences of hauntings and UFO
sightings.

- Noise As Input, Noise As Filter/ A Compositional Approach by Kasper
Toeplitz
October 26, 27, and 28  2011

Not so much, or not only, a software workshop, but rather a composition
course in electronic music which takes as its starting point the use of
noise, similar to the (white) canvas of a painter or rather to the block of
stone of a sculptor.
