Creative Sound, Image and Technology Summer School

 Creative Sound, Image and Technology Summer School
Summary:Technology Course
Deadline: None
Date Posted: 20 July 2016
Details: Want to find out more about creative work with sound, image and technology? Interested in learning more about programming for sound, image and interactivity?

The Creative Sound, Image and Technology summer school is aimed at anyone wishing to increase their knowledge and experience of working with sound, image and technology in creative ways.

Open to absolute beginners, as well as those with some digital media experience, the course is suitable for composers, performers, visual artists, sound artists, producers, teachers and students, or anyone wanting to experiment, explore and expand their skills. You don’t need any particular musical, visual, technical or artistic background, so if you’ve never used any of these technologies before don’t be put off; the course starts with the basics and progresses from there.

The course is centred on MAX, a highly flexible software tool for sound, graphics, music and interactivity, produced by Cycling '74. Participants will develop their technical understanding and explore the creative potential of MAX in supervised hands-on sessions.

The course will address real time audio processes (including dynamic processes, filters, delays, sampling techniques and audio analysis) and video processes (including fades, colour manipulation, chromakey and segmentation) to enable the use of timelines, generative algorithms, sensors and smart phone apps, and facilitate the development of individual creative environments and instruments. It will also look at the use of DIY hardware based on microcontrollers such as Arduino.
