Electronic musician and dance artist NSDOS hosts this introductory workshop focused on making beats and electronic music with Orca, a flexible live coding environment designed to quickly create music sequencers.

This workshop is open to all levels, with no prior skills in programming required. Participants are required to bring a laptop with Orca installed on it, a pair of headphones and a DAW / audio software of choice installed like Ableton, Renoise, VCV Rack or SuperCollider.

Orca is a free software and you can download it here.

We will be in touch with registered participants for further workshop details and links to the online meeting room -by registering to this workshop you agree to receive emails in relation to this event-. Please email contact@mutantpromise.net if you have any questions.

Paris-based NSDOS - aka Kirikoo Des – is a hybrid artist who works simultaneously on music, dance, digital art, and builds his own instruments. After studying dance, Des felt the need to create his own sound in order to explore movement. Unrestrained by existing technological tools and softwares, he prefers creating his own mediums: futurist instruments made of old audio converters (carte son), Gameboy emulators, pieces of metal dismantled and weld together giving form to surreal machines.

As part of Mutant Promise's digital programme with Somerset House Studios. Mutant Promise is a programming, producing and artist booking platform supporting the work of musicians who combine a DIY and workshop practice with their performance, composition and release work.
