Exploring gesture control with Gliss & Glover – Live Session
Date & Time: Tuesday 9th March 6pm GMT / 7pm CET
Level: Beginner with some music software experience
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.
