An Evening with Max and RNBO in Brooklyn

cycling74-musichackspace-partnership-feature.jpg

Music Hackspace and Cycling '74 team up to deliver a monthly series of 4 workshops to help people learn the fundamentals of music programming with Max, and 4 monthly meetups where participants can share their work and learn from one another.

The course and meetups are free for all. Cycling '74 offers a free trial of the software (download 

), making this accessible to anyone who is curious about programming. There is no obligation to buy the software to participate in a workshop.

David Zicarelli, CEO of Cycling '74, says “We’re excited to partner with Music Hackspace to allow anyone to learn programming and music technology with Max for free. From our experience, it can have a big impact for beginners to learn with real time guidance and be able to ask questions. Music Hackspace has built a great online learning framework that our users will benefit from.”

All events are led by a certified trainer who has years of experience teaching music technologies.

JB Thiebaut, CEO of Music Hackspace, adds “Max is one of the best tools to learn music technology. Being able to access free courses is a fantastic opportunity for thousands to acquire new skills. The new influx of participants will also help our ongoing research to improve online learning. ”

The first of the free course series will start on January 6th and will be replicated each month throughout 2021. Timings are adapted on a bi-monthly basis, so that attendees from all over the globe can find a time that suits them. There will be limited places on each course so sign up is essential.

The monthly workshops will have 4 sessions of 2 hours each. Participants will learn how to get started with interactive audio and MIDI, and discover the possibilities of the Max environment. They will learn how to manipulate audio, MIDI, virtual instruments, and program their own interactive canvas, and will learn from guided examples and live interactions with teachers and other participants.

Online Max meetups are an open forum where the community can share ideas and learn from other artists, coders and performers. All are invited to showcase their patches, pair with others to learn together, get help for a school assignment, or discover new things.

Participants can sign up and propose a presentation topic, which are accepted on a first come, first served basis. Max meetups offer breakout rooms for specific topics such as music, interactive installations or MIDI. More categories will be created at each meetup. See 

 when the next online meetups are taking place.

Music Hackspace’s mission is to develop the largest online learning platform for music technologies. It was founded in 2011 by Jean-Baptiste Thiebaut in London, as a collective of artists and engineers. Starting with weekly meetups and seminars, Music Hackspace now curates over 20 live and online workshops every month on music programming, instrument design, and DIY electronics, for a growing number of artists and hobbyists.

Cycling ’74 creates software for the specialized needs of artists, educators, and researchers working with audio, visual media, and physical computing. Our visual programming tool Max serves as the creative engine behind thousands of innovative projects. Its iPad app Mira allows the user to expand beyond the Max environment for increased flexibility.

Exhibiting at the science fair was a fun way to collaborate with a friend while experimenting with the discipline of bioacoustics in a low-stakes environment. It gave me a chance to talk about my work with people from a variety of backgrounds and acted as a starter-kit for what has grown into a fully-funded research project. -- Jill Munger, Expo '74 2019 Science Fair Exhibitor

The Science Fair at the Expo 74 was, for me, a unique opportunity to present my work to a broader audience and to receive such valuable feedback. It was nice to interact with people from different backgrounds and to view their perspectives and interaction with my project. For me, it was also a wonderful experience to show my work and get to know some of the artists and developers that I deeply admire. Besides that, it was also nice to chat and explore other presenter's work, which was really interesting and inspiring. -- Andrej Kobal, Expo '74 2019 Science Fair Exhibitor

Cycling '74 and Georgia Tech are co-hosting a music, art, and technology fair in Atlanta on Saturday, March 7th.
