Digital Arts Resource Centre

Learn to program rhythms, melodies, and compositions in this three-part, in-person workshop.

Digital Arts Resource Centre (formerly Saw Video)

Take a deep dive as we ebb and flow through the creation of abstract rhythms, melodies, and musical compositions using procedural sequencing in one of the most innovative coding languages ever created, ORCA.ORCA is a powerful, limitless, and real-time live coding environment where we can control audio software and instruments to explore and manifest our own sonic landscapes.This three-part, in-person workshop is open to beginners and experienced artists alike. ORCA is simple enough for anyone to dive in and deep enough to satisfy any level of creative exploration.“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 live coding environment capable of sending MIDI, OSC &amp; UDP to your audio interface, like Ableton, Renoise, VCV Rack or SuperCollider.” – HundredrabbitsRegistrationSession 1: Tuesday, January 17th, 6pm-8pmSession 2: Tuesday, January 24th, 6pm-8pmSession 3: Tuesday, January 31st, 6pm-8pmParticipants will need access to: <ul><li>(Optional) Personal laptop &amp; headphones</li><li>Any additional materials will be sent in advance via email</li></ul>Please Note: Desktop computers and headphones will be provided for everyone to use but feel free to bring your own if you prefer. 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.Workshop PricingThis workshop is $75 for Members and $125 for Non-Members.
