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.
