Workshop
Luigi Tamagnini: Modular Livecoding. Algorithmic control of modular synthesizers w/ Supercollider

Two-day afternoon workshop for public

Wednesday, 20. 11. 2024: 16:30 – 20:30
Thursday, 21. 11. 2024 – 16: 30 – 18:30

Vasulka Kitchen Brno is honoured to host a two-day afternoon workshop by Argentinian composer and computer artist, who will focus on live coding and the use of the Supercollider language.

The workshop will show you how to write simple code in Supercollider and to control a small analogue synthesizer called eurorack. You will learn how to implement algorithms in this very powerful open-source language. Such generated signals may then be used to write code for real-time performance, and thus so-called "live coding".

Sound design with modular analog systems dates back to the 60's and the experimental processes that motivated the origin of the synthesizer industry. At the same time, the development of computers and algorithmic thinking itself gave rise to a whole series of languages and techniques that we know today as part of what we call "computer music".

How to prepare and what to bring?

Address: Vašulka Kitchen Brno, Dům pánů z Kunštátu, Dominikánska 9, 602 00 Brno, Czech Republic

LUIGI TAMAGNINI is a composer and computer artist from Argentina. He uses programming languages to develop and build hybrid performance systems that combine live coded algorithms with analog devices and computer-generated graphics. His audiovisual pieces push the viewer into a deep abstract volumetric aural and visual experience. He has performed in festivals and concerts in Argentina, Spain, Germany, France and Netherlands.
