Wednesday June 8 * 7-10pm * MASKS, VAX REQUIRED * REGISTER

An introductory course to using the SuperCollider programming language to make sound and explore generative composition. Look forward to a fun and hands-on environment, as we journey through: instrument design, sound synthesis, and algorithmic composition. Participants will leave the workshop with a foundation of skills related to using SuperCollider for creative projects and resources for further development.

Skill level: Beginner

About SuperCollider:
SuperCollider is a platform for audio synthesis and algorithmic composition, used by musicians, artists, and researchers working with sound. It is a powerful and diverse tool that can be used in a variety of ways: real time performance, interactive music, art installation, music composition, live coding, and more! It is open source and totally free of charge. SuperCollider works on Mac, Windows, and Linux .

Participants will need a laptop with SuperCollider installed. https://supercollider.github.io/download

About the instructor:
Michael Masaru Flora is a multidisciplinary artist currently living and working in California. Working within the intersections of art, science, music, and mathematics, he is interested in the emergent phenomena that occurs through non-deterministic and autopoietic processes. Informed by architecture, systems, perceptual psychology, visual art, and computer music, his works often take the form of large scale installation and performance. His work has been presented in School of Design Nanjing University of Arts (China), Shanxi University School of Fine Arts (China), Stanford University’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA), Luggage Store Gallery (San Francisco), Orange County Center for Contemporary Art (CA), St Cloud State University (MN), Alfred University (NY) as well as clubs, galleries, theaters, warehouses, and universities internationally.
