I wanted to update everyone with links to RSVP for the Pd Weekend events coming up in L.A. next month.
These events are being sponsored by New Blankets (many thanks to Joe Deken) and CRASH Space. We are very excited about the line up - there are four great workshops, plus a concert and a patching circle. All these events are good for any experience level. So if you're in the Los Angeles area that weekend, please take a look at the CRASH Space blog ( http://blog.crashspace.org/2013/10/pd-weekend-2013/) or the Eventbrite links below.
Saturday, November 16th
Pure Data + Raspberry Pi: The Adventure Continues - Miller Puckette will show how to get Pd up and running on the Raspberry Pi, and show what you can do with it. For those without a Raspberry Pi, there is a separate ticket for a RPi kit. https://www.eventbrite.com/event/8812276757
DIY Live Sampling Microphone Build & Slice//Jockey - Katja Vetter will show how to build an inexpensive but quality DIY microphone suitable for use as part of a live sampling setup, and will show how to use it with Slice//Jockey (and of course other Pd patches, Max/MSP, or whatever). https://www.eventbrite.com/event/8812423195
Laptop Orchestrating With Your Friends - Ico Bukvic will teach an introduction to Pd, plus Pd-L2ork and it's K-12 education module. He will cover alternative input devices, laptop scoring and performance strategies and we will have a collaborative performance. https://www.eventbrite.com/event/8812515471
Your Computer, Your Creativity - Jonathan Wilkes will cover how to use your computer in new and creative ways using Pure Data. https://www.eventbrite.com/event/8812597717
Then, Saturday night, we have a FREE concert (a $5 donation at the door is suggested to cover the costs of putting on Pd Weekend) with our special guest instructors, plus local musicians covering a wide range of musical styles, from live sampling to circuit bending to chiptunes to who-knows-what:
- Joe Newlin
- Jim Bumgardner
- Andy Ben
- Jeff Boynton
- Timon Marmex
- Raymond Weitekamp
We do request that you RSVP for this event if possible, though it is FREE: https://www.eventbrite.com/event/8812708047
Finally, on Sunday, November 17th, we will be having a very special patching circle with Miller and our special guests, plus others. We're still planning, but Miller will show what's new with Pd 0.45. This is also FREE and open to everyone. We do request you RVSP for the patching circle if possible, though (again) it is FREE: https://www.eventbrite.com/event/8812748167
All these events will be taking place at the STAR Prep Academy at 10101 Jefferson Blvd. in Culver City. They are graciously providing accommodations so that these events can be larger than what we could hold at CRASH Space.
If you have any questions, feel free to post to the list, or e-mail me ( theron.trowbridge@gmail.com) or Joe (newblankets@newblankets.org) directly.
Thanks,
-Theron ^
