Max is a computer toolkit that connects sound, video, inputs and outputs, and enables you to mess around with them to create audio/visual instruments, tools and interactive environments. It offers the power of a high-end programming language with the ease of Lego. It’s the go-to computer programme for experimenting with sound. Learn everything you need to know about how to use Max in 3 hours.

The workshop will be led by Matthew Olden who is a Bristol based computer artist who makes interesting things by programming his computer. He makes a wide range of computer programmes that make music, do visuals and manipulate data. Matthew then more often than not uses these programmes in live performance. Matthew has been using the Max for almost 20 years. He uses it every day to earn a living, compose, to experiment and to have fun.

Participants will be required to bring their own laptop/computer with the newest demonstration version of Max running on it : click here
