Course contents:

„Live Signal Processing“ a lecture and workshop with visiting New York sound artist, composer and programmer Dafna Naphtali on the use of Live Signal Processing as a musical element in performance.

Description: Drawing on audio and programming examples from my own work in a variety of musical projects ( improvised music projects with avant- jazz musicians, contemporary classical piano work with Disklavier, a vocal sextet with live electronics, and What is it Like to be a Bat? a „digital punk trio“), as well as those of artists whom I have worked with as facilitator / programmer, we will discuss a wide range of approaches to working with sound processing as a musical element and also as a control source. The afternoon will also touch upon use of multi-channel point-source audio and working with video as a control source and output in projects. If we can have time I would be interested in looking at students Max/MSP patches and can touch on using Jitter.
