“Invention comes to the prepared mind.”
— Stanford Ovshinsky
An advanced exploration of real time sound synthesis in SuperCollider, including the processing of realtime input from acoustic instruments, the Disklavier and OSC-capable programs. The course will be run as a structured laboratory; the aim of the course will be to produce a final concert of full-scale compositions that were realized over the course of the semeseter. Topics covered in the course include:
Prior experience with computer composition and digital sound synthesis is assumed (presumably 404A II or a computer music course that involved actual coding). Grading is based on class participation, homework assignments and a major composition project.
Most of the lesson material for this course is written in html. These .html file can be read in a browser but they are really meant to be opened in SuperCollider so that the "inline" code examples in the documents can be evaluated inside the running SuperCollider app. Interactive examples are clearly delimited in fixed width font.
