Introduction to Music and Sound Making with Jessica Ekomane
This event is paid - please purchase your ticket here
This workshop will introduce elementary skills for working with sound synthesis in music programming software Max/MSP, in the context of experimental electronic music performances and sound art.
With the goal of demystifying the interface and unlocking the freedom needed for experimentation, we'll cover the very basics of the software interface logic and how to start creating your own sounds.
Max/MSP is a music programming environment that allows the bringing together of sensors, samples, synthesis engines and video. It is used by sound artists throughout the world, but also by visual artists and in installations.
Requirements:
- A laptop with Max installed on it. You can download a 30 day free trial here
- A pair of headphones
If you’ve never heard of Max and want to see how it works, there are a few videos to get started on the Cycling'74 Youtube channel.
This workshop is open to all levels, with no prior skills in programming required. We specially encourage women and non-binary participants to take part in the workshop.
We will be in touch to registered participants for further workshop details and links to the online meeting room. Please email contact@mutantpromise.net if you have any questions.
