View Larger Map

Dates and Times: 4 Mondays (13/2, 20/2, 27/2, 5/3) in 2012

Over 4 nights you will learn enough to put together a spectacular sound and light performance.  Composer and interactive designer Simon Katan will teach you how to track an LED light with your computer and a webcam using Processing and then turn that data into music using SuperCollider.

If you’ve never heard of Processing or SuperCollider, don’t worry ! This is an introductory course.  However, you should be comfortable using lots of different computer software and not afraid to learn some computer programming techniques. On the other hand, if you’re a hard-core coder but don’t know SuperCollider or have no musical experience then this workshop also has plenty to offer you.

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.
