Exploring Code as Music/Instrument in SuperCollider

Join artist Matt Nish-Lapidus to explore the SuperCollider music programming language. We'll play with building synthesizers, sequencing, and the generative possibilities of working with code-as-music.

Here’s what you should bring to participate: some kind of laptop with a physical keyboard (not a tablet or touchscreen). Headphones are optional. To save some time, before attending the workshop you can download and install Supercollider on your laptop—it is free to download! 

What to expect during the workshop: 

Matt will talk about the basics of coding: how to type your code, run it, and make simple sounds. During the first part of the workshop you will follow along with Matt and replicate coding building blocks in order to create and sequence an interesting synthesized sound.

The workshop will conclude with self directed time for participants to play with their code, test out ideas, and ask Matt for input.  

This workshop is tailored for beginners, but can also give experienced SuperCollider users some insights into the fundamentals of the language, and an opportunity to gather with like-minded artists and community members.
