Dear all,
Just a reminder about the workshops we're putting on below ahead of
the symposium. If you're interested in attending, would be great if
you registered soon, to help us settle numbers.
best,
Nick

SUPERCOLLIDER WORKSHOPS APRIL 2009
All details and sign-up at:

SuperCollider workshops will be offered at Harvestworks in New York
in early April, in the run up to the 2009 SuperCollider Symposium to
be held at Wesleyan (http://supercollider.wesleyan.edu/). This is a
rare opportunity to learn from some of the SuperCollider developers
themselves. SuperCollider is an incredible environment and
programming language for music and audio. It provides an interpreted
object-oriented language which functions as a network client to a
state of the art, realtime sound synthesis server. SuperCollider was
written by James McCartney over a period of many years, and is now an
actively maintained and developed open source project. It is used by
musicians, scientists, and artists working with sound and audiovisuals.
All workshops require attendees to bring their own laptops; tutors
will assist with installation on OS X (10.4 or later recommended) and
Windows as necessary (SC also runs on Linux but it's assumed you'd
have compiled and installed it yourself in advance of the workshop if
you're using that platform).
The workshops being offered are:
1) Saturday 4th April: Beginners day (11am-6pm). A friendly
introduction to SuperCollider for absolute beginners, aimed at
artists and musicians. Aside from a little familiarity with the
digital arts, no prerequisites, though some prior exposure to
computer music (perhaps through Max/MSP or Csound) may be helpful.
(led by Nick Collins, Dan Stowell, Jan Trützschler) $100
2) Sunday 5th April: Intermediate workshop day (11am-6pm). For those
with some experience, but wanting to refresh and broaden their SC
skills. Topics will include sound synthesis and analysis, interaction
via GUI and controllers, generative and network music, SC programming
tips and tricks and SC architecture. We will also be adaptable to
participants needs, can take requests for topics, and have some
general question and answer sessions. (led by Nick Collins, Dan
Stowell, Jan Trützschler) $100
3) Monday 6th April evening (7-10pm). Beginner's evening session. A
friendly introduction to SuperCollider for absolute beginners, aimed
at artists and musicians. Aside from a little familiarity with the
digital arts, no prerequisites, though some prior exposure to
computer music (perhaps through Max/MSP or Csound) may be helpful.
(led by Nick Collins, Dan Stowell, Jan Trützschler)
4) Tuesday 7th April daytime (11-6). Abstract pressure cookers and
virtual steam machines: Just in time programming in networks.
Not tweaking machines, but writing letters: Programs that program
programs, machines that recombine structures. Replacing their parts,
in effect writing their user manual at runtime. Instead of giving in
to pressure to become virtuosos, we listen how the machines take the
pressure - from spooky action at a distance to new exploring logics
of distributed noise music. A collective workshop for live coding,
sound synthesis, randomness in order. (led by Powerbooks Unplugged:
Alberto de Campo, Echo Ho, Hannes Hölzl, Jan-Kees van Kampen, Julian
Rohrhuber, Renate Wieser) $100
5) Tuesday 7th April evening (7-10pm). Compact version of Tuesday
daytime session (led by Powerbooks Unplugged) $50
6) Wednesday 8th April daytime (11-6) SuperCollider Clinic. Flexible
topic sessions, following participant needs, adaptable to all
intermediate levels (beginners would find Saturday or Mon night
helpful before this workshop). Developers will be on hand to answer
questions, to present on special topics, and to demonstrate projects
and works built with SC. (led by an all star cast of developers) $100
workshops at:
Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center
596 Broadway, #602
New York, NY 10012
