This workshop will provide an introduction to sound synthesis and the creation of autonomous and interactive music systems. The workshop will examine what happens when we return to the sounds of classic subtractive and FM synthesis but subsitute the common MIDI interface (which is structured around traditional Western notions of music) for an alternative system. While there will still be control over the basic parameters of synthesis, this new approach will change the way we create and structure the music and lead us towards new aesthetic outcomes. The workshop will combine the use of the open source software Pure Data with new software created specifically for this workshop.

Concepts:

• Techniques for generative composition and sound synthesis
• New interfaces to structuring sound in reaction to traditional

Western musical notions

• Evaluation and discussion of the interactions between the artist, the

technology used and musical aesthetics

Level: Beginners. Although some familiarity with sound synthesis is welcome, no previous programming experience or knowledge of PureData is required.

Tutor: Theo Burt Theo Burt (b.1979, Falmouth, UK) works with computer sound, video and light, drawing on the perceptual relationships between sound and image and exploring the aesthetic application of technology.
