[microsound-announce] BodyControlled #03 - Workshop Fredrik Olofsson 31st March

[João Pais]

The edition of BC#3 marks the start of the BodyControlled WORKSHOPS, with
the SuperCollider workshop “Good looking sounds” by Fredrik Olofsson,
taking place March 31st.

Saturday, 31.03.2012, 11.00 - 19.00 (with break) @ LEAP

A one day workshop by Fredrik Olofsson about generating strange graphics
in the audio programming language SuperCollider. The idea is to not care
much about how the code we write actually sounds or works, but rather that
it looks cool graphically. We will deliberately perform odd math
operations to mess up the audio signals and explore and abuse the scope,
plot and post windows as well as draw custom waveforms and spectrograms.

The level of the workshop will not be too advanced and there is no need to
be a fluent SuperCollider programmer to make interesting visuals. Bring
your own headphones and a laptop with SuperCollider (3.4 or 3.5,
http://supercollider.sourceforge.net/) installed. If you have trouble
installing this software please come half an hour early and we will help.
Workshop language is english.

REGISTRATION Workshop:
Please send an email until 27.03.2012 with subject "Good Looking sounds"

e-mail registration you will receive an email with payment information.

8pm (Performances from 9pm)
4 €

The third edition of the BodyControlled series presents a group of
performing artists using diverse feedback procedures as a motor for their
performance work.
Known mostly as the result of an audio loop between a microphone and a
speaker, feedback can be a powerful and dynamic creative tool in both
visual and sound performances. Each of the artists in BodyControlled #3
uses feedback in a personal way (and at a different level in the
processing chain) to either shape their sounds and images, or to create a
– relatively – controlled dialogue between them and their instruments.

All performances will be available from 20h CET via livestream on
