Lesson 1 - Introduction to the workshop
Course overview
SuperCollider is an amazing open-source audio synthesis and composition tool.
Learning outcomes
Understand SuperCollider UGens for audio synthesis and mixing
Design your own drone which you can run from SuperCollider
Add SuperCollider code into a norns script
Who is this course for?
- • In this workshop we will gain understanding of SuperCollider while making a musical drone - a minimal sustained sound with dynamic harmonic variations, in the vein of Sunn O))) or La Monte Young. We will also learn how to add drones to the monome norns in your own drone script.
Requirements
- • A computer and internet connection
- • A norns device
