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:Livestream: Nestup - A Language for Musical Rhythms
DESCRIPTION:Date & Time: Monday 10th May 6pm UK / 7pm Berlin / 10am LA / 1pm NYC \nIn this livestreamed interview\, we will speak with Sam Tarakajian and Alex Van Gils\, who’ve built a fantastic live-coding environment that works within an Ableton Live device called Nestup.  \nThe programs we use to make music have a lot of implicit decisions baked into them\, especially in their graphical interfaces. Nestup began as a thought experiment\, trying to see if embedding a text editor inside Live could open up new creative possibilities. We think the answer is that yes\, text can work well alongside a piano roll and a traditional musical score\, as a concise and expressive way to define complex rhythms. \nWith Nestup\, you define for yourself any size of rhythmic unit\, any sort of rhythmic subdivision\, and with any scaling factor. These language features open your rhythm programming up to musical ideas such as metric modulation\, nested tuplets\, complex polyrhythm\, and more. Rhythms from musical styles which would have been prohibitively difficult to program in a DAW can therefore be rendered in MIDI\, such as rhythms from Armenian folk musics or “new complexity” compositions. \nOverview of speakers \nSam is a Brooklyn based developer and creative coder. Sam works for Cycling ‘74 and develops independent projects at Cutelab NYC. Alex is a composer\, performer\, and generative video artist based in Brooklyn.  \nSam and Alex have been making art with music and code together for over 10 years\, beginning with a composition for double bass and Nintendo Wiimote while undergraduates and continuing to include electroacoustic compositions\, live AR performance art\, installation art\, Max4Live devices\, and now Nestup\, the domain-specific language for musical rhythms. \nWhere to watch? \nYouTube – \n \n
