Introduction to live coding with Super Collider - LIVE Session / 5th October
Learn how to live code sound in SuperCollider
Course Instructor: Alexandra Cardenas
Course level
SuperCollider is a platform for audio synthesis and algorithmic composition, used by musicians, artists, and researchers working with sound. Live coding is the practice of creating and/or manipulating algorithms in real time to change an ongoing artistic process, like music or visuals. In this workshop you’ll discover the universe of live coding music and the powerful software that started this practice, while discovering the world wide community that makes all this possible.
