Computers these days give us the power to create almost any sound imaginable, so now we have to question ourselves - how do we interact with our computers physically? In this workshop you will explore what it’s like to control those sounds and effects with your movement by learning about Glover - a mapping application for converting movement to MIDI or OSC.

Instructors
Chagall van den Berg
Chagall is Dutch singer, performer and electronic music producer who creates audio-visual live pop music performances that reimagine the world of live electronica, visuals arts and choreography, supported by sensor technology that that allows her to use the movement of her body to control all electronic sounds and visuals in real-time. Without any technical education at all, Chagall joined the London music tech startup MiMU in 2014 which kicked off her fascination for movement controllers in electronic music performance and stimulated her to learn more about computer programming. In her artistic work she aims to humanise the digital and to create experiences that have a deep emotional impact as well as being sonically, visually and technically breathtaking.
