Sonic Pointillism - a hands-on seminar on Granular Synthesis with SuperCollider (taught by Fredrik Olofsson)
Granular synthesis is a synthesis technique based on the same principles as sampling. It utilizes tiny fragments of sound to construct a sound structure consisting of hundreds or thousands of these sonic particles or "grains". During this hands-on seminar we will learn how to buld different kinds of grains and the systems to generate, shape and control groups or "clouds" of these units in real time. We will also add interactive control to our granulator programs in order to be able to use them live as instruments. We will be using the free and open-source programming environment SuperCollider. The first session will include a lightning-fast introduction to this synthesis environment. 8, 9 and 10 october 2010 at Hangar, Barcelona. +info: [ http://lullcec.org/?p=1264 ] ------------------------------------------------ This activity is organized by l’ull cec with the collaboration of Consell Nacional de la Cultura i les Arts and the support of Hangar. ______________________________________________ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://post.in-mind.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre
