Workshops

Workshops at the LAC come in different flavours:

• session to make people familiar with your software through a training or hands-on demonstration
• request for assistance for your project: tell a group of people about your project and what kind of assistance you are looking for
• learn from a group of [developers|composers|users] how your application can be improved
• work with a group towards a goal, e.g. combining several pieces of software and hardware into a working system

“using ambisonics as a production format in ardour (regardless of your target format)” (Jorn) Update: I have a CD production coming up in early february, which will be done in HOA. I'd like to try and present a surround mix of that material if a suitable monitoring rig is available (5.1 or better, or, time permitting, maybe the concert system?). I could also make it into a howto-ish paper, but I might miss the paper deadline slightly since the last recording day is feb. 13… — Jörn

I could do one of these subjects: http://www.theover.org/Linuxconf , TV.

I'd like to host a session on the ChucK programming language at this year's Lac. Depending on the time available I'd like to branch out from introducing ChucK as a system to addressing subjects more general to Open Source and programming like how a more intimate familiarity with the workings behind synthesis can increase our options there and how a DIY approach to instruments may force us to think more deeply about what we ourselves want, musically (as opposed to what's offered commercially). I have no hope of covering all of that in extensive depth but I do think it should be possible to show ChucK as an option that's not as inaccessible as code is often held to be and perhaps inspire some people to explore what that route might mean for their own musical practice.

This workshop will explore the Live Coding capabilities of QuteCsound for generating score events for a running instance of Csound, through the use of the Live Event Panel and the QuteSheet python API. It will show how the QuteCsound frontend can serve as a python IDE for the processing of note events to be generated, transformed, sent live, or looped for a running Csound process.

We're seeing what kind of Supercollider at the LAC workshop(s) may be possible, interesting and to whom
