Simple playback of audio files within the iPhone environment has always been relatively straightforward. But what if you want to do something more sophisticated with audio in iOS? In the past, the Apple frameworks for doing this have been relatively inaccessible. This workshop will focus on how to use Pd (Pure Data) patches as an […]

Atau Tanaka (eavi.goldsmithsdigital.com) will present twenty years of work in corporeal interaction with computer music systems, with a focus on electro-myogram based muscle interfaces. He will talk us through his artistic practise and academic research as well as his work in the music technology industry. In addition, the event will feature a demo, and samples […]

During the six weeks you will build The Ultimate Headbutting Machine – 10 step sequencer with drums and cymbals. You will learn principles of electronics starting from simple circuits to more complex ones. Each class (4h per week) will be focused on building different modules of the UHM, exploring CMOS technology in depth. Participants will […]

Becky Stewart will share her work combining music with textiles and will bring along samples to demonstrate. She will show Solo Disco Scarf and Sound Direction, both developed as tools to teach simple analogue audio signal processing through sewing and crocheting circuits. She will also show her current work using textile interfaces as capacitive touch control surfaces for […]

Ross Flight is and sound and interactive system designer working in designing for theatre for the last ten years. Ross will present a short musical performance followed by an explanation of the processes involved in the data translation and the importance of mapping when it comes to interactive sound design. Ross' work has increasingly begun […]

In this workshop percussionist and composer Dom Aversano will demonstrate how church bells ringing patterns can be used to generate a vast array of rhythms. Once demonstrated participants will then be invited to explored how these patterns might be hacked, and encouraged to discover new creative possibilities. Dom Aversano used church bell algorithms to create […]

Artist Talk by Leipzig-based artist Victor Mazon Gardoqui (Santander, 1982). "The Invisible revealed_ About presence, perception, control & noise." Víctor Mazón Gardoqui's work questions perception, altered state and vulnerability through un/stable arrangements. His work materializes in three main fields: actions or site-specific performances through experimental processes, exhibitions as consequences of previous actions and collective work […]

In this workshop participants will build and take home their own Signum device, which is designed to experiment with hidden signals and usually un-hearable sounds. The device includes a transducer, optical, coil, germanium diode and small loop antenna that will allow you to both to listen to and record the sounds hidden in the electromagnetic […]

Following the strong interest shown in the first iOS (iPhone/iPad) audio synthesis workshop, the Music Hackspace will be offering a follow-up workshop with Ron Herrema. Having learned the basics of implementing Pd in iOS using libpd, we will work on incorporating gesture recognition and motion sensors, as well as microphone input and more sophisticated Pd […]
