Seminar: Just-In-Time Programming, Interfaces and Performance with Computers (Alberto de Campo, Barcelona)
25-27.11.2011 JUST-IN-TIME PROGRAMMING, INTERFACES AND PERFORMANCE WITH COMPUTERS, a seminar with Alberto de Campo For musicians and artists, the promise of computers as universal machines has been that one can do anything one can imagine – given the knowledge and time to realise one’s ideas. Many programming environments seem to have steep learning curves when, in fact, there are quick entries and strategies for making fast progress and developing good personal performance instruments quickly.This seminar will explore the possibilities of SuperCollider to create realtime performance systems for computer music. We will work following the methodology of just-in-time programming, which allows the modification of parts of an algorithm while it is executing. Likewise, we will see how to integrate our (JITlib-based) instruments with a wide variety of control devices in a flexible, extensible and reliable manner. After each session, we will evaluate the behaviour of our programs under live performance conditions, in solo or ensemble arrangements. Alberto de Campo studied classical composition, jazz guitar, and electronic music in Austria and in the United States. After working at UC Santa Barbara designing experimental software instruments with Curtis Roads, he taught at Media Arts Academy Cologne, the Institute for Electronic Music in Graz and at the Technical University of Berlin, where he held the Edgard Varèse guest professorship for Electronic Music. He later also held a professorship for Music Informatics at Music University Düsseldorf and, since 2009, he is a Professor for Generative Art/Computational Art at the Institute for Time-based Media, Arts University Berlin (UdK). Alberto plays with powerbooks_unplugged (just in time programming on mostly unamplified laptops) and also improvisation groups with acoustic instruments such as Quiet Noise Quartet, Syntopia Ensemble or with musicians like Elisabeth Harnik, Mario de Vega, Hannes Hoelzl, Joker Nies and others. He makes electronic music with BlippooHazard (four musicians playing the Blippoo Box, a hardware synth by Rob Hordijk). Recent projects include creating software instruments and sound installations with Florian Hecker, e.g. ‘No Night No Day’ at Biennale Venice, and AuditoryObjects (Bordeaux), and collaborating with Marcus Schmickler and Carsten Goertz on Bonner Durchmusterung, a project involving sonification und visualization of astronomical data.
