Masterclass: Audio-Visual Software Instruments with Eric Souther

August 15, 2016 @ 2:00 pm4:00 pm EDT

6pm – 8pm
$10 General | Free for members

There is an exciting renaissance of artists and toolmakers sharing and creating tools. The goal of this workshop is pedagogical in nature, to think about process versus effects. An effect is meant as an illusion, a real-time process, however, can be used to articulate new visual and aural metaphors that come out of discovery and a relationship between the artist and their tools. In many ways, this connects real time media production to music. It is not the inherent sound of the instrument that is significant, it is the choices the artist makes that creates the melody.

Attendees will learn how to create audio-visual software instruments in Max 7 (i.e. MAX/MSP & Jitter), MIDI/OSC integration, custom UI interfaces, and build stand-alone applications. For reference of what to expect and see what is possible please take a look at the Signal Culture App Club (http://signalculture.org/appclub.html#.V4lLVpMrIUE), where Jason Bernagozzi and Souther work together to develop audio-visual applications.
