This 5 week workshop will take you through the process of building an interactive game with generative sound.  Working composer and games designer Simon Katan teaches you SuperCollider, a free and open source program for synthesizing all sorts of sounds, and then bending them to your will (or your games). Over 5 weeks, we introduce you to the SuperCollider program, techniques for generating sound, techniques for making sound interactive, and then we take you through the process of adding generative sounds to an open source video game that you will modify to your own ends.
