We incorporate diverse methodologies and aim to create an open playground and exchange of ideas and sounds that embraces new and old technologies. Newly available open source platforms, both hardware and software, are granting far wider accessibility to new interactions with music and audio than has not been possible before. It’s with these technologies that we base our programme of workshops, artist talks and meetups, and hope to encourage people of all backgrounds to create and engage with music in previously unrealised ways.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 12px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class="">Over the first few months of the programme we’ll be exploring numerous intersections between music and technology, covering algorithmic music with TidalCycles, SuperCollider and C++, modular synthesis in the Eurorack format and hacking brain wave data. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 12px; line-height: normal; color: rgb(4, 46, 238); -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(4, 46, 238); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;" class=""><span style="text-decoration: underline ; font-kerning: none" class=""><a href="https://www.somersethouse.org.uk/whats-on/music-hackspace-2017-programme" class=""><b class="">SOMERSET HOUSE STUDIOS</b></a></span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 12px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class="">We’re incredibly excited to start this new programme at Somerset House Studios, a new experimental workspace that intends to promote collaboration between artists, makers and their audiences.
