Modular Livecoding with Luis Tamagnini
Modular Livecoding with Luis Tamagnini
Algorithmic control of modular synthesizers w/ Supercollider: The workshop proposes to explore the encounter between two universes as vast as they are usually isolated each other. Sound design with modular analog systems dates back to the 60's and the experimental processes that motivated the origin of the synthesizer industry. At the same time, the development of computers and algorithmic thinking itself gave rise to a whole series of languages and techniques that we know today as part of what we call "computer music". These ecosystems, with a priori antagonistic principles, can be integrated into an hybrid, homogeneous and effective system. In this course, we will learn to implement algorithms in Supercollider, a very powerful and open source music computing language. We will then use the generated signals to control and extend the functionality of a modular synthesizer to build a powerfull hybrid digital / analog performance instrument.
Summary:
• Voltage and analog signals. CV, trigger/gate.
• Digital Audio and AD/DA conversion.
• Supercollider. Server and audio engine.
• I/O Busses config.
• Language, abstractions and fundamentals.
• Sound synthesis and audio / control signals generation.
• Clocks, patterns and sequencers.
• Dinamic patching techniques and "livecoding".
• Audio signal processing.
• MIDI and controllers.
About the speaker:
LUIS TAMAGNINI
Computer audiovisual composer. Initiated in the late 90's in the composition of electronic and concrete music. His work is deeply intertwined with algorithmic processes and concepts. In the mid-2000's, he began to investigate programming languages and apply algorithmic techniques to computer music and computer graphics. His current work is attached to a number of -not only- computacional concepts such as generativity, noise, machines, fractals and algebraical processes; as well as others meta-structural concepts like modularity and hybridization in complex systems (digital-analog, man-machines, etc) and networks. He is also interested in live-coding and improvisation. His works include musical compositions, electronic audiovisuals performances, videoart and digital draws, among others. He is professor and researcher at Rosario National University - UNR, Argentina.
