Make music with code in this intro to SuperCollider with composer and music technologist Tom Mudd.

Custom House Leith

SuperCollider is a free software that allows you to create real-time audio synthesis and algorithmic composition, used by musicians, artists, and researchers working with sound.In this introduction to SuperCollider with musician and sound artist Dr Tom Mudd we will look at how to get up and running in the very exciting, but sometimes slightly cryptic world of SuperCollider. We will look at generating the basics of audio in SuperCollider: generating simple synthesis sounds. We will also look at generating patterns to generate melodies and structures. Finally, we will look at how these aspects can be brought together and coded live as is often done in Live Coding and Algorave performances.The workshop will involve text-based coding in SuperCollider, but no prior knowledge of coding or of SuperCollider will be assumed as the workshop is suitable for total beginners, or those looking for a refresher. The workshop is intended to be a friendly introduction to SuperCollider, giving you the groundwork so that you can continue to learn yourself with online resources. If you are a musician (computer musician or not) or artist interested in sound, or interested in a fun entry to text-based programming, then this workshop is for you!
