/mode +v noise is an intense 3 day workshop for up to 10 participants,
looking at how to build an Internet chat based music platform.

The workshop will give you the opportunity to create your own software
sound synthesiser and different chat bots that will be used to
manipulate and turn your chat into a music score. To achieve this, we
will use free software such as Python, Supercollider, Puredyne, Emacs
and more!

The workshop is aimed at participants with basic experience in
programming, scripting, or markup languages, even if it's just
(X)HTML/CSS. You do not have to be an experienced programmer, but if
you are, that's good too. As long as you are not afraid to work in a
terminal, you'll be fine! In general, we are looking for people who
have already experienced the "culture shock" of using plain text to
describe a process and want to take this further or discover creative
programming using free software.

The workshop will be adapted to the participants' experience and
profiles, but do not hesitate to contact us for extra details or if
you are not sure you will fit. You will go home with the software and
code you wrote during the workshop, and encouraged to share it and
develop it further!
