We are in the process of finalizing our plans for the pd-LAunch
week (4/25-4/30) in Los Angeles and are pleased to announce that on
Thursday, April 28th at 7:30 pm, Hans-Christoph Steiner will be
teaching a workshop at CRASHspace on using Pure Data for
interactive audio creation.

Starting with Realtime Audio/Video Interaction

Pd provides a wide range of tools for tracking and extracting
information from audio in realtime. Once in Pd, we can use the
audio to control sound generation, effect, video, camera
processing, etc. The combination of audio processing and digital
media provide myriad opportunities for creating interactions. This
workshop will introduce how to create real-time interaction in the
physical world with sound and light. Pd (aka Pure Data) will be
introduced as a simple programming environment for real-time
interaction. This workshop will be a combination of short
lectures, hands-on instruction, and unstructured time to work on
learning and exploring with support of the instructor. While Pd is
fairly easy to learn and designed for artists, familiarity with
basic computer programming will be very beneficial. You will be
able to apply the concepts learned in this course to a wide range
of programming environments that can receive data via OSC messages
or a network socket, such as Arduino, Flash, Processing, etc.

Students are also encouraged to bring additional hardware and/or
tools they are interested in working with, as long as they are
technically self-sufficient with them. Bring MIDI equipment,
projectors, etc. to experiment with realtime control. Bring an
Arduino with Firmata plus servos or motor controllers to experiment
with motion. Or accelerometers, rotary sensors; flex sensors, etc.
to experiment with sensing motion.

Students will need a laptop with Pd-extended installed and working
(download for free from http://puredata.info) - it is available for
Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. The laptop needs to have a
microphone and speakers.

Space is limited. Cost is $60. Sign up in the CRASHspace store: http://store.crashspacela.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&a...

CRASHspace is located at 10526 Venice Blvd, Culver City CA 90232.
