<nettime-ann> xxxxx workshop_7_x Berlin |
. xxxxx workshop_7_x Berlin A (more-or-less) weekly series of constructivist workshops emphasising making and connection within the field of the existent. 17th March: Oscillation Overthruster. Pure Data (PD), synthesis and noise with Derek Holzer (http://www.umatic.nl/info_derek.html). Details below. 24th March. Break for LAC [Linux Audio Conference] or project discuss tbc. April projected: GNU Emacs, noise_produce part three, television transmission, the C programming language? Please RSVP m@1010.co.uk with interest as places are limited. ...or contact if you're interested in leading a related workshop. ________________________________________________________________ 17th March: Oscillation Overthruster--Pure Data (PD) Synthesis, Feedback and Noise with Derek Holzer (http://www.umatic.nl/info_derek.html). Pure Data is a powerful, free and open source environment for producing and manipulating sound, image and data in real time. This hands-on workshop will concentrate on using oscillators, filters, feedback and noise to create your own self-modulating/generative sound systems. Go for that classic analog sound, do the digital clicks-n-cuts thing, or indulge in a noise orgy freakout... Since we will cover quite a bit of Pure Data and DSP (Digital Signal Processing) basics, this workshop is ideal for PD beginners as well as experienced users who want to come and make some noise together. External inputs and controllers such as MIDI keyboards/faderboxes, USB joysticks, sensors or microphones could be useful, but not required. ---What to bring: * Essential: 1) Laptop running Linux, OS X or Windows 2) Pure Data Extended installed from: http://at.or.at/hans/pd/installers.html 3) Soundcard (internal or external, quality a non-issue) 4) Headphones 5) EUR 10 participation fee * Recommended/Suggested: 1) MIDI controller/keyboard 2) Microphone 3) USB Joystick 4) Your own PD audio projects for feedback/show-and-tell ---About the Teacher Derek Holzer [USA 1972] began working with Pure Data in 2001. Since then, he has taught and performed with the program across Europe, North America, Brazil and New Zealand. His work focuses on field recording, networked collaboration strategies, experiments in improvisational sound and the use of free software such as Pure-Data. Holzer has released tracks under the Nexsound, Sirr, and/OAR and Gruenrekorder labels, and has co-initiated several internet projects for field recording and collaborative soundscapes including Soundtransit.nl. He is currently writing a beginner's manual for Pure Data. http://www.umatic.nl/info_derek.html http://www.umatic.nl/workshops.html ________________________________________________________________ Background: A weekly series of constructivist workshops emphasising making and connection within the field of the existent. Workshops led by field-expert practitioners extend over realms of code and embedded code, environmental code, noise, transmission and reception, and electromysticism. Workshops solely utilise free software and GNU toolbase. Practitioners include Julian Oliver (http://selectparks.net/), Derek Holzer (http://soundtransit.nl), Jeff Mann (http://jeffmann.com), Martin Howse (http://1010.co.uk), Fredrik Olofsson (http://www.fredrikolofsson.com/), superfactory (http://superfactory.biz) Further planned workshops will cover Pd connectivity and hardware, the Arduino platform, ATmega8 microcontrollers, UNIX process, free software documentation, VLF reception, radio antenna design, analogue TV transmission, FPGA design... full details tbc. Please RSVP m@1010.co.uk to reserve any places or register interest. Please forward. xxxxx, pickledfeet, Linienstrasse 54, Berlin 10119 U2, Rosa-Luxemburg-Pl. U8, Rosenthaler Pl.
