LIVE CODING WITH IMAGES AND SOUND INTENSIVE IN PERSON
Sunday, September 11, 18, 25 & October 2 & 9
No previous knowledge of programming is required. This intensive consists of 5 sessions: the first two covering how to live code with sound using Supercollider (https://supercollider.github.io/); the other two sessions will introduce live coding visuals with Hydra (https://hydra.ojack.xyz/). Culminates in the 5th session of Live Coding with Images and Sound with a collective jam session where you will be implementing the learned skills.
Be introduced to sound and synthesis with Supercollider, which is an open-source environment for algorithmic composition and a programming language. You will be taught how to make your first synth with no previous knowledge of programming and/or synthesis required. Then you will write a program for generating patterns with Supercollider to perform with live-coding sounds and interact with visuals. Master how to live code colours and animated shapes on the fly in a web-based live coding environment called Hydra. Learn how to directly connect audio as a live source to manipulate your visual compositions while adding and exploring them creatively through the code. Draw on all the skills learnt in previous classes culminating in small cross-collaborative audio-visual jam sessions in the last session.
YOU WILL NEED TO BRING:
1. Your own laptop (windows, mac, linux) and a charger;
2. Headphones;
3. Download the Supercollider link, which you can find here: https://supercollider.github.io/downloads.html;
4. No need to download Hydra, but you can get familiar with some of its functionality here:
