<nettime-ann> xxxxx workshop_11_12 Berlin |
. A (more-or-less) weekly series of constructivist workshops emphasising making and connection within the field of the existent. Upcoming: 5th May: Crouching Table, Hidden Pointer [Pure Data for soundfiles and live sampling] with Derek Holzer 12th May: Free projects. Discussion and construction of participant's projects using workshop resources. Details tbc. see: http://www.1010.co.uk/xxxxx_research_institute.html May/June projected: GNU Emacs, television transmission, the C programming language, spectral RF reception and white noise, rapid-prototyping-realtime-3D, ATmega8 microcontrollers a la Arduino ... or contact if you're interested in leading a related workshop. //<------------------------------------------------- 5th May 2PM. Crouching Table, Hidden Pointer [Pure Data for soundfiles and live sampling] with Derek Holzer The Shaolin Temple secret for manipulating recorded sound in Pure Data lies in the arcane arts of the Table. Seekers of enlightenment will be shown how to load soundfiles from the harddrive into tables, or capture live audio from the microphone, so that these sounds can be looped, stretched, pitchshifted, granulated and mangled. The Way is a long and dangerous one, and some basic understanding of PD is recommended, but some of you will triumph! Time will also be set aside for responding to participants' questions about their own PD audio projects. ---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 soundfiles (WAV, AIFF format) 5) Your own PD audio projects for feedback ---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 Pure Data beginner's manual for the FLOSS Manuals project. http://www.umatic.nl/info_derek.html http://www.umatic.nl/workshops.html http://www.flossmanuals.net/puredata (under development, feedback welcome) //<------------------------------------------------- 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, free software documentation, VLF reception, radio antenna design, analogue TV transmission, FPGA design... full details tbc.
