More recording and more work on developing accompanying visuals in prep for the show on the 26th.
The modern DAW is toured, and we lay down some sounds from the previous weeks' efforts as the start of a record.
Working on improv and jamming with a wide variety of beats, structure, and rules. Unfortunately the recording was clipping most of the night in a weird way, but a few tracks were salvaged below.
Alternative Composition and Notation methods are explored.
Exploring the idea of what music actually is, and where it breaks down into noise. We use "found sounds" as part of our sonic palette.
Touch based DIWO (do it with others) usb-MIDI interfaces are created from scratch in this workshop. Files to program the device are attached below.
The Live Coding practice is explored some more and we extend our application of the live coding language Tidal Cycles.
The wonderful Wekinator is demo'd, along with some Computer Vision and Arduino squeeze bottles. Neural nets are trained, and data is classified, in the pursuit of making music.
The role of visualization in music is discussed, along with the tools to create visuals. Sounds are made and things are projected!
The Live Coding practice is introduced and we make some music together with Haskell inspired live-coding language Tidal Cycles.
The first session of the term. We make some drones and jam a bit. The tape music tradition is introduced to provide some context for the modern exploration of music.
