14:00 – 16:30 Workshop
Using Max/MSP as the basis, the workshop will provide a quick introduction to Jitter and how to control objects from the recently included multichannel class. Patches created in the workshop provide one step towards building small applications for multichannel purposes. Please bring a notebad and pens/pencils for taking notes.
17:00 – 17:40 Concert
The challenge for artists working in the field of spatial audio is finding ways to control a large number of objects in space in a way that can be intuitively understood by the listener. For this performance,systems inspired by natural phenomena are used as forces that exert control over the individual elements of the composition, engulfing the listener in a torrent of sounds using SoundLab’s high-density loudspeaker array.
