This seminar will cover the basics of realtime sound synthesis and introduce participants to SuperCollider. Attendees will be acquainted with basic sound generators and processors (oscillators, noise generators, filters, delays) as well as with synthesis techniques such as additive and substractive synthesis and amplitude or frequency modulation. This knowledge will then be used to build synths able to be controlled programatically, by means of graphical user interfaces or using OpenSoundControl.
Structure:
Session #01
General introduction to the SuperCollider environment and the language.
Getting started with creating sound with SuperCollider.
Understanding Digital Signal Processing and audio synthesis.
Practical exercises.
Session #02
Unit Generators in SuperCollider (oscillators, filters, delays, etc).
Thor Magnusson works in the fields of music and generative art. He teaches at the Faculty of Arts and Media in the University of Brighton, works at the Department of Informatics at the University of Sussex and is also part of the Creative Systems Lab. He is also a co-founder and member of ixi audio and as part of this collective he develops audio software and systems for generative composition.
