Course overview
This online course is designed to introduce you to the Fluid Corpus Manipulation (FluCoMa) project, a free Max Package. FluCoMa is focused on finding new and innovative ways for musicians to use large banks of digital sounds and gestures in their compositions, using advanced signal composition and machine learning techniques.
Throughout the course, you will explore the creative possibilities available with FluCoMa's Max Package, including composition techniques, sound processing and manipulation, and live performance. You will also have the opportunity to get hands-on experience with the various tools and features of the Max Package, as well as learn tips and best practices for using FluCoMa effectively.
We will also cover real-world examples of musicians and artists using FluCoMa in their work. By the end of the course, you will have a solid understanding of FluCoMa and its capabilities, and be well-equipped to start incorporating it into your own compositions.
What you'll learn

Meet your instructor
Ted Moore (he / him) is a composer, improviser, and intermedia artist. He holds a PhD in Music Composition from the University of Chicago and recently served as a Research Fellow in Creative Coding at the University of Huddersfield, investigating the creative affordances of machine learning and data science algorithms as part of the FluCoMa project. His work focuses on fusing the sonic, visual, physical, and acoustic aspects of performance and sound, often through the integration of technology.
