4th MSP Power User Symposium

Pierre Alexandre Tremblay's icon

Dear all

As part of our electronic music festival, we host our 4th MSP Power User Symposium: a kind of nerd gathering where we talk about the toys (so we can focus on music during the concerts ;-)

Anyway, here is the list of presenters:

• Oli Larkin will talk about some of his latest work, including new effects designs and externals.

• Scott Hewitt will talk about the reasons he has started using ChucK and outline the befits to a Chuck based approach.

• Alex Harker will discuss recent approaches to making complex and dynamic patches in MaxMSP - strategies include the development of reusable and reliable externals for MaxMSP.

• Dave Bessell will talk about convincing physical models for real time performance in Max/msp, with some illustrations from his piece Ophidian, for flute physical model.

• P.A. Tremblay will talk about his use of ftm-based concatenative synthesis (Diemo Schwartz's CataRT) in the design of his new laptop+bass instrument Sandbox#3.

The even is free, it is in our awesome new top-class Creative Arts Building at the University of Huddersfield, at 1pm on Saturday 30th January. As part of the www.GEMdays.co.uk

See you there.
