[Nettime-nl] [ STEIM ] Super Collider Interfaces workshop

[robert van heumen <robert@steim.nl>]

Super Collider Interfaces workshop

Goal of this workshop is to explore various functionality and  
applications of the SuperCollider 3 (SC3) programming language for  
sound synthesis and musical composition, with a focus on external  
controllers like HID's (Human Interface Devices like joysticks and  
gamepads), MIDI controllers, the configurable MKeys virtual interface  
developed by Jeff and STEIM's new USB sensor interface (unofficially  
referred to as the 'junXion box').

Through lecture, demonstration, discussion, in-class assignments and  
open lab sessions participants will gain a working knowledge of SC3  
fundamentals to apply to personal musical and creative goals.  
Participants should be familiar with Mac OSX, basic digital audio  
concepts such as sound files and MIDI and comfortable using computers  
to edit sound files. No programming experience is required.

Participants will be orientated to the programming environment, learn  
the syntax of the language, apply interaction and construct graphical  
user interfaces, all geared towards external control using various  
physical controllers, both MIDI and HID.

This course is designed for a diverse audience and is relevant for  
you if you are:
* an instumentalist interested in using a computer to do sysntheis or  
processing of your instrument.
* an artist interested in incorporating sound into your work.
* a composer interested in using a computer to do algorithmic  
composition.
* a computer musician interested in exploring another language.

STEIM will supply a number of MIDI and HID controllers (but also  
bring your own if you have one!), and for people without their own  
laptop there is a possibility to use a STEIM mac (in this case please  
contact workshops@steim.nl so we can arrange a computer for you).

Jeff Carey is computer music composer and performer studied in Audio  
Technology at American University and Sonology at the Institute for  
Sonology of the Koninklijk Conservatorium in the Netherlands. His  
work has always centered around system oriented approaches to sound  
production and composition. His graduate studies was spent  
researching electronic music, algorithmic composition and real-time  
applications, mainly using SuperCollider. His undergraduate studies  
include physics, mathematics, computer programming, acoustics,  
electronics, digital audio, sound synthesis and recording studio  
techniques.

The workshop will be held on 6 evenings, from 19:00h - 22:30h, at  
STEIM, Amsterdam. There will be a possibility to join a performance  
on STEIM's local-stop concert night on November 23.
Dates: November 7, 10, 14, 17, 21, 22.
Fee: €75 (to be payed on the first evening)

Registration can be done only through the STEIM website: www.steim.nl.
