Experiment and explore the world of SuperCollider audio and music programming in this hands-on exploratory workshop.

In this intermediate experimental workshop we will work with sound, synthesis, and code using SuperCollider, a programming language and synthesis engine for digital and algorithmic audio. SuperCollider is used for music composition, sound art, live performance, live coding, building embedded audio systems, and more. Together we will explore the ways in which programming techniques and computational processes let us play with time, rhythm, timbre, recorded sound, and more. We will learn the fundamentals of the SuperCollider system while also digging into how digital audio works and how we can use common (and not-so-common) approaches to programming sound and music. To get the most from this workshop some familiarity with the basic concepts of programming is recommended. No previous experience with SuperCollider is required.Participants should bring:<ul><li>Laptop</li><li>Headphones</li><li><a href="https://supercollider.github.io" title="https://supercollider.github.io" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">SuperCollider</a> – Install the latest release for your operating system (available for MacOS, Windows and Linux)</li></ul>Interested participants without access to this equipment may email education@interaccess.org to inquire about renting equipment provided by InterAccess.
