Pure Data is an open source audio engineering platform that enables musicians, visual artists, and developers to create electronic and experimental music software graphically without writing lines of code. It is an integral part of multimedia performances, motion capture systems for new music, audiovisual works, and can be used to control virtually anything: motor systems, lights, electronic music, sensors. Being a program for interactive music performance differentiates it from digital audio workstations (DAW, e.g. Reaper and Audacity) in which real time interaction is not possible. Being a visual programming language differentiates it from text-based programming languages like c-sound and supercollider. It is literally a white canvas that can be fulfilled with your most inventive ideas. Participants will get an impression of what Pure Data can do and how to use its potential in creating interactive music solutions.

No previous experience is required. Participants need to bring their laptop.
