Course cost: €200
Registration is required for this workshop and can only be done through www.steim.nl. Please register early to ensure a place. Places are limited to 12.
The workshop will take place from Monday, April 7 through Thursday, April 10. Included is an afternoon with special STEIM presentations on junXion, LiSa and the junXionboard to place Pd in a STEIM context.
The goal of the workshop is to equip participants with a substantial basis for their own creative explorations. This will be achieved by combining lecture sections with assisted work on individual projects.
The workshop will be open to address individual interests and is generally directed towards:
- composers who want to take a more interactive approach to composition,
- live performers who want to start designing their own instruments, complete with innovative approaches towards user interface design,
- installation artists who want to explore the possibilities of Pd in combination with the GEM extension library.
Participants should ideally have some background in working with digital audio on their computer platform. For the workshop, a computer running Mac OS X, Windows, or Linux is required. If you are unable to bring a computer, please let us know and we will try to accommodate you.
