<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Live Media and FLOSS*
Extended Production Seminary</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">with Marco Donnarumma
</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">@Venue TBC</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">£80 pp</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br>
</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">*Free/Libre Open Source
Software<br>In-depth Theoretical and practical audiovisual live
performance seminary using FLOSS.<br>Pure Data audiovisual real-time
processing, tricks and tips to create your own performance tool.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br>
</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Description</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">The seminary consists
of four parts. During the introduction the participants acquire a
basic theoretical knowledge about Live Media. The introduction is
extended through a review of selected audiovisual works in order to
explore and analyse the potential of the audiovisual research.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Therefore participants
are introduced to the concept of FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source
Software), they familiarize with few FLOSS software as they
understand its practical and theoretical keystones.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">In the second part
participants learn the meaning of “real-time audio-video data
processing” reviewing the most common production tools. Eventually
they deal with the process of an audiovisual performance
pre-production using FLOSS: from brainstorming and concept design,
through planning of the audiovisual format, to the collection of
support materials – such as texts, tutorials – and the drawing of
sketches representing the logic structure of data processing.
</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">The third part focus on
Pure Data graphical programming environment. Participants learn to
communicate with Pd and how to surf through the audio and visual
processing libraries. They build basic processing structures and
discover tricks and tips to create their own performance tool.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">For the last part the
work group is split in smaller groups. Through practical individual
exercises participants acquire the technical know-how about the
creation/collection of moving images and sonic events within the Pure
Data graphical programming environment, thus they develop an original
software, following the standard realisation steps: beta-testing,
debug – analysis of errors and its correction – and final testing
during a collective jam performance.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br>
</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Aim</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">The seminary seeks to
give the participants who don’t have previous experience in
programming and Live Media practice the needed theoretical and
practical knowledge and skills to feel comfortable within the FLOSS
creation environment. The classes’ aim is to make the participants
able to understand and assimilate the diverse passages of the
creation process of software ad-hoc in order to be independent during
the planning and development of a FLOSS project (musical,
audiovisual, multi-media or theater pieces) using the audiovisual
language.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br>
</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Who’s it for</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Musicians, producers,
live visualists, film-makers, programmers, sound designers or
passionates of digital arts or electronic music and experimentation
who want to enhance and extend their skills and tools will find this
seminary inspirational and fundamental for the further development of
their works and creative ideas, free from the limitations of
user-friendly and proprietary software.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">No previous programming
experience is needed.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br>
</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">What to bring</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Participants are
invited to bring their laptops and encouraged to bring musical
instruments, cameras, photo cameras, webcam, microphones, sensors,
MIDI devices and fresh, unusual ideas!
</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br>
