SuperCollider workshop in Bergen
Tuesday 28. September – Friday 1. October, Bergen, Norway
BEK, the Bergen center for electronic arts, invites musicians, programmers and composers to a four-days workshop focusing on the software MODALITY. It’s free to attend, but you have to cover your own travel and stay.
Modality is a tool for building electro-instruments in SuperCollider under construction by Jeff Carey og Bjørnar Habbestad. The workshop will elucidate this development through presentations, discussions and open code-sessions.
Invited participants are Jeff Carey, Alberto di Campo, Wouter Snoei and Marije Baalman, Trond Lossius and Bjørnar Habbestad. themes to be covered are: Modal Control strategies, sensor input, DBAP spatialisation, Proxy Space, Quark, Mapping strategies etc.
The workshop is open for participants skilled in working with SuperCollider.

ChucK
Ni känner säkert till de flesta ljudprogrammeringsspråk som finns: Max/MSP, SuperCollider, Csound, Pd, Faust … Men ChucK är kanske en ny bekantskap, i alla fall för mig. Språket har utvecklats vid Princeton University och har använts i utbildning, särskilt i samband med PLOrk – the Princeton Laptop Orchestra, som det finns två artiklar om i senaste CMJ (en av dem kan laddas ner gratis).
