SuperCollider Workshop

SuperCollider is an environment and programming language for real-time audio synthesis and algorithmic composition. It provides an interpreted object-oriented language which functions as a network client to a state of the art, realtime sound synthesis server.

SuperCollider was written by James McCartney over a period of many years, and is now an Open Source project maintained and developed by various people. It is used by musicians, scientists, and artists working with sound.

The workshop will teach participants how to make synths in SuperCollider, how to use them with Pattern structures and how to use input devices. Using a combination of exercises and teaching tools, workshop participants will build components to be used in a final composition.

The workshop is taught on a Linux system, but SC can also function on OSX and Windows. The version used in the workshop will be the latest stable release, available from Sourceforge. Participants can bring their own computer with SC installed, or use a computer in the Studio XX Lab.
