SUMMARY:Natural Machines with Dan Tepfer - LIVESTREAM
DESCRIPTION:Date & Time: Thursday 17th June 2021 6pm UK / 7pm Berlin / 10am LA / 1pm NYC \nIn this live stream we’ll talk with Dan Tepfer and hear more about his project Natural Machines. \nIn an age of unprecedented technological advancement\, Dan Tepfer is changing the definition of what a musical instrument can be. Featured in an NPR documentary viewed by 1.5 million people\, Dan Tepfer shows his pioneering skill in this concert by programming a Yamaha Disklavier to respond in real time to the music he improvises at the piano while another computer program turns the music into stunning animated visual art. Called “fascinating and ingenious” by Rolling Stone\, the Natural Machines performance lives at a deeply unique intersection of mechanical and organic processes\, making it “more than a solo piano album… a multimedia piece of contemporary art so well made in its process and components and expressed by such a thoughtful\, talented\, evocative pianist… that it becomes a complete experience” (NextBop). \nMusic Hackspace YouTube  \n \nOverview of speaker \nDan Tepfer is a French-American jazz pianist and composer. \nOne of his generation’s extraordinary talents\, Dan Tepfer has earned an international reputation as a pianist-composer of wide-ranging ambition\, individuality\, and drive—one “who refuses to set himself limits” (France’s Télérama). The New York City-based Tepfer\, born in 1982 in Paris to American parents\, has performed around the world with some of the leading lights in jazz and classical music\, and released ten albums of his own. \nTepfer earned global acclaim for his 2011 release Goldberg Variations / Variations\, a disc that sees him performing J.S. Bach’s masterpiece as well as improvising upon it—to “elegant\, thoughtful and thrilling” effect (New York magazine). Tepfer’s newest album\, Natural Machines\, stands as one of his most ingeniously forward-minded yet\, finding him exploring in real time the intersection between science and art\, coding and improvisation\, digital algorithms and the rhythms of the heart. The New York Times has called him “a deeply rational improviser drawn to the unknown.” \nTepfer’s honors include first prizes at the 2006 Montreux Jazz Festival Solo Piano Competition\, the 2006 East Coast Jazz Festival Competition\, and the 2007 American Pianists Association Jazz Piano Competition\, as well as fellowships from the American Academy of Arts and Letters (2014)\, the MacDowell Colony (2016)\, and the Fondation BNP-Paribas (2018).

SUMMARY:Video Synthesis with Vsynth for Max - LIVE Session
DESCRIPTION:Dates: Thursdays 4th / 11th / 18th / 25th February 2021 6pm GMT \nLevel: Intermediate + \nOverview \nIn this series of 4 workshops\, we’ll look at how to interconnect the different 80 modules that come with Vsynth\, exploring video techniques and practices that can create aesthetics associated with the history of the electronic image but also complex patterns founded in some basic functions of nature. \nVsynth is a high level package of modules for Max/Jitter that together make a modular video synthesizer. Its simplicity made it the perfect tool to introduce yourself to video synthesis and image processing. Since It can be connected to other parts of Max\, other softwares and hardwares it can also become a really powerful and adaptable video tool for any kind of job. \nHere’s what you’ll learn in each workshop: \nWorkshop 1: \nLearn the fundamentals of digital video-synthesis by diving into the different video oscillators\, noise generators\, mixers\, colorizers and keyers. By the end of this session students will be able to build simple custom video-synth patches with presets. \n\nVideo oscillators\, mixers\, colorizers.\n\nWorkshop 2:  \n\n\nModulations (phase\, frequency\, pulse\, hue\, among others). \n\n\nIn this workshop we will focus on the concept of modulation so that students can add another level of complexity to their patches. We’ll see the differences between modulating parameters of an image with simple LFOs or with other images. Some of the modulations we’ll cover are Phase\, Frequency\, Pulse Width\, Brightness & HUE. \nWorkshop 3: \n\n\nFilters/convolutions and video feedback techniques. \n\n\nThis 3rd workshop is divided in two. In the first half\, we’ll go in depth in what actually means low or high frequencies in the image world. We’ll then use Low-pass and High-pass filters/convolutions in different scenarios to see how they affect different images. \n\n\nIn the second\, half we’ll go through a lot of different techniques that uses the process of video-feedback. From simple “trails” effects to more complex reaction-diffusion like patterns! \n\n\nWorkshop 4: \n\n\nWorking with scenes and external controllers (audio\, midi\, arduino). \n\n\nIn this final workshop we’ll see how to bundle in just one file several Vsynth patches/scenes with presets for live situations. We’ll also export a patch as a Max for Live device and go in depth into “external control” in order to successfully control Vsynth parameters with audio\, midi or even an Arduino. \n\n\n\n \nRequirements \n\n\nIntermediate knowledge of Max and Jitter \n\n\nHave latest Max 8 installed \n\n\nBasic knowledge of audio-synthesis and/or computer graphics would be useful \n\n\nAbout the workshop leader \nKevin Kripper (Buenos Aires\, 1991) is a visual artist and indie software developer. He’s worked on projects that link art\, technology\, education and toolmaking\, which have been exhibited and awarded in different art and science festivals. Since 2012 he’s been dedicated to creating digital tools that extend the creative possibilities of visual artists and musicians from all over the world.

SUMMARY:Video synthesis with Vsynth workshop
DESCRIPTION:Level: Intermediate \nIn this series of 4 2-hours workshop\, Kevin Kripper\, the author of Vsynth\, explains  how to interconnect the different 80 modules that come with Vsynth\, exploring video techniques and practices that can create aesthetics associated with the history of the electronic image but also complex patterns founded in some basic functions of nature. \nHere’s what you’ll learn in each workshop: \nLesson 1: video oscillators\, mixers\, colorizers. \nLesson 2: modulations (pm\, fm\, pwm\, hue\, among others). \nLesson 3: filters/convolutions and video feedback techniques. \nLesson 4: working with presets\, scenes\, audio and midi. \nVsynth is a high level package of modules for Max/Jitter that together make a modular video synthesizer. Its simplicity made it the perfect tool to introduce yourself to video synthesis and image processing. Since It can be connected to other parts of Max\, other softwares and hardwares it can also become a really powerful and adaptable video tool for any kind of job. \n\n \nRequirements \n\nBasic knowledge of Max and Jitter\nHave Max 8 installed\nFamiliarity with audio-synthesis or computer graphics would be useful.\n\nAbout the workshop leader \nKevin Kripper (Buenos Aires\, 1991) is a visual artist and indie software developer. He’s worked on several projects that link art\, technology\, education and toolmaking which has exhibited in festivals such as +CODE\, Innovar\, Wrong Biennale\, MUTEK\, among others. In 2016 he won first place at the Itaú Visual Arts Award with his work Deconstrucento. In addition\, since 2012 he’s been dedicated to create digital tools that extend the creative possibilities of visual artists and musicians from all over the world. During 2017\, he participated in the Toolmaker residency at Signal Culture (Owego\, NY) and in 2018 received a mention in the Technology applied to Art category from the ArCiTec Award for the development of Vsynth. \nhttps://www.instagram.com/vsynth74/ \nhttps://cycling74.com/articles/an-interview-with-kevin-kripper
