[microsound-announce] Vector Synthesis Pure Data Workshop Berlin

[Derek Holzer]

VECTOR SYNTHESIS

The Vector Synthesis workshop investigates the direct relationship 
between sound+image. It draws inspiration from media archaeology and 
obsolete technologies such as the Cathode Ray Tube monitor, combined 
with contemporary laser display techniques. Participants will learn how 
to draw Lissajous figures, render simple two- and three-dimensional 
shapes, and process photographs and video into vector artwork which can 
be displayed on oscilloscopes, Vectrex consoles, and ILDA laser displays 
using audio signals which can also be heard. These vector shapes can 
also be further modified in real time using external audio sources such 
as voice, amplified instruments, or electronic synthesizers provided by 
the participants.

You can see examples of what you might do here:

The core of the workshop will be examples written in the Pure Data 
programming language. Detailed instructions on how to install and set up 
Pure Data, as well as a software oscilloscope emulator so you can see 
your work without special hardware, will be sent to registered participants.

The language of this workshop is English. Participants are required to 
bring their own laptops with software installed according to pre-event 
instructions sent by email.
