Digital Arts Resource Centre

In this three-part online workshop, participants learn to create rhythms, melodies, and compositions with the programming language ORCA.

Take a deep dive as we ebb and flow through creating abstract rhythms, melodies, and musical compositions through procedural sequencing – in one of the most innovative coding languages ever created, ORCA.In this powerful, esoteric, abstract, limitless, real-time live coding environment, we control audio software and instruments to manifest our sonic landscapes and explore. Simple enough for anyone to dive in. Deep enough to satisfy any level of creative exploration and obsession.“Orca is an esoteric programming language, designed to create procedural sequencers in which each letter of the alphabet is an operation, where lowercase letters operate on bang, uppercase letters operate each frame. The application is not a synthesizer, but a flexible livecoding environment capable of sending MIDI, OSC &amp; UDP to your audio interface, like Ableton, Renoise, VCV Rack or SuperCollider.” – HundredrabbitsParticipants will need access to: <ul><li>Mac or PC with headphones or speakers</li><li>Zoom account (Register <a href="https://zoom.us/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>)</li><li>Any additional materials needed for this workshop will be sent in advance via email</li></ul>RegistrationSession 1: Thursday, February 10th, 6pm-8pmSession 2: Thursday, February 17th, 6pm-8pmSession 3: Thursday, February 24th, 6pm-8pmThis workshop is PWYC by donation (with a minimum donation of $40 to register).

InstructorAshford Sabastien Callender is an Ottawa-based experimental digital artist, as well as a community educator and organizer. Inspired by psychedelic futurism, he uses his background in audio and video post-production within creative mediums such as web, film, and video to explore and create thoughtful, immersive, cross-cultural audio/visual experiences - one of his primary goals is to encourage people to see art, primarily, as a participatory space where we all have the power to alter our capacity for connection and understanding... and also encouraging people to peer into the technology side of art, to help inspire and create new visions.
