Workshop : Del Sonare Digitale
When : 15-19 November 2021
The Workshop :
The Music Informatics Workshop offers a training on new technologies for interactive and multimedia mixed music composition, with the integration of various software for contemporary artistic creation, in particular those developed and used at the IRCAM (Institute for Acoustic-Musical Research and Coordination) - Center Pompidou in Paris.
Mastery of interaction tools in real time allows you to design multiple interactions by mixing the different forms of sound, visual and multimedia language.
By the end of the workshop, the participants will acquire the knowledge necessary to advance in their artistic, compositional and technological work. They will also be able to discover/improve the tools available today in terms of computer devices for real-time interaction between interpreter-computer and interactive systems for the realization of concerts, installations, performances, theatrical performances, dance and stage arts.
A professional training on Max/MSP will be provided in the first edition of the workshop, with the purpose of integrating, implementing and designing applications created with the software.
The main topics covered during the workshop are, among others:
- Construction of a concert patch (treatments and sound synthesis in real time)
- Use of a centralized electronic score
- the integration of the Antescofo programming language which, in addition to the possibility of being used as a score following system, allows the writing, control and synchronization of different parameters, treatments, processes (multitemporal, multimodal ...), spatialization and other temporal media (video, lights, etc.)
By the end of the course training, participants will gain a basic notion of programming with Max and the Antescofo language and will be able to develop a compositional project of mixed or interactive/multimedia music.
The workshop will be held by composer, researcher and computer music designer at Ircam José Miguel Fernandez. Saxophonist Claude Delangle will also participate in this first edition of the workshop.
During the masterclass on 18 and 19 November 2021, all participants (from the workshop and performers interested) will have the opportunity to deepen works from the contemporary repertoire, mixed music, instrumental techniques and to discuss ideas and musical aspects related to interpretation, performance and possibilities of interaction with the electronic devices.
The purpose of the workshop is to analyze and follow the various steps of production and implementation of a mixed music project up to public performance.
An atelier/concert will be held at the end of the workshop, with a mixed and non-mixed music program, including excerpts and works by Marco Stroppa, J.M. Fernandez, Ichiro Nodaira, Pierre Jodlowski, Georgia Spiropoulous, among others.
The workshop and masterclass will be held at the University of Siena in strict compliance with the health regulations that will prevail at the time of the course and according to the evolution of the health crisis linked to COVID 19.
In the event that, due to Covid restrictions, it will not be possible to attend classes in presence, the training will be offered remotely (via Skype or Zoom, to be announced later).
