Live Performance System - Jonathan Reus

This workshop explores the possibilities of just-in-time programming with SuperCollider to create real-time performances of computer music. We will study flexible, extensible and reliable integration of JITLib-based instruments with a wide variety of controllers. Each day's coding session is followed by a practice session to evaluate the our work in live performance conditions, in solo or ensemble arrangements.

Dates: October 20 - 23
Times: 10:00 - 17:00 each day
Cost: € 150 ( € 130 limited offer for registered students )
Location: STEIM, Achtergracht 19, Amsterdam

Workshop Schedule //

Day 1: Continuous sounds with JITLib - NodeProxy, ProxySpace, Ndef

  • quasi analog synthesis
  • exploring UGens and combinations
  • using effects chains
  • storing results as code and sound
  • Play !

Day 2: Tasks and patterns with JITLib - Tdef, Pdef, SynthDefs

  • writing event based sounds (SynthDefs)
  • playing structures in time with controllable parameters
  • using patterns as sound sources that can be processed
  • storing results as code and sound
  • Play !

Day 3: Performances interfaces with JITLib in hard- and software - GUIs, MIDI, HID devices, GamePads, Manta etc.

  • attaching controllers to sound processes, tasks, and patterns
  • Extension Libraries (Quarks): JITLibExtensions, MIDIKtl, GamePad, Manta,
  • BRING YOUR OWN FAVORITE CONTROLLERS!
  • - or anything that sends OSC, HID, or MIDI -
  • Play !

Day 4: Performance setups - Putting it all together:

  • finetune sounds/instruments;
  • adapt scalings, ranges, fixed params for playing with controllers;
  • ways to switch between different uses of the same controller;
  • integrating instruments and controllers into one easy to use and extend setup.
  • Play !
