The workshop begins with a brief overview of Ableton and Logic, two powerful tools for music production, focusing on their commonalities and differences — and then dives into Pure Data, an open-source programming language for real-time multimedia creation. You will learn how to copy community-shared patches using samples and other tricks to create spontaneous, fun and quick forms of music and sound.
At the end of the session, there will be a chance for participants to share what they have created, discuss future possibilities, and come together for a live laptop ensemble performance!
