Their work is based around the bbcut system in the SuperCollider language, developed for realtime algorithmic audio cutting in laptop performance. By a message protocol to video applications like Max/MSP's nato and jitter, the audio cut-up algorithms become immediately available to video processing. The presentation will introduce the use of live video that gets scratched and cut up exactly in sync with the audio cutters running in the music. Stutters in sound translate into stutters in video, with both fixed buffers and continuous streaming possible. As well as the performers themselves dancing frantically for the cameras, the audience can be involved through the video capture and audio capture. Of course, more subtle and abstract mappings are also used, and aside from live video, some fantastic demonstrations of the techniques come with the control of generative 3D graphics. As well as giving demonstrations, this presentation will describe the technology itself, and discuss some of the performance quirks such as the use of live programming as a control interface, algorithmic cutting simulations of such artists as Squarepusher, and simultaneous use of nato and jitter for video and OpenGL VJing. http://www.klippav.org Date: Tuesday, December 9th Time: 20.30h Venue: STEIM, Utrechtsedwarsstraat 134 Amsterdam Entrance: Free ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- and a ONE-DAY-SPECIAL ! Practical Introduction Workshop to the new SuperCollider3 music language on Wednesday 10 December 10-17h: This one day course is an introduction to the new SuperCollider Server (SC3) language and application on Mac OS X. The workshop will be practical, with an emphasis on getting individual projects underway. Material will cover the SuperCollider language, the Server implementation, and specific features like sound synthesis and processing, scheduling, soundfile manipulation, interaction via GUI and live coding techniques. The workshop should be suitable for computer music practitioners starting out with SuperCollider, SC2 users who want to update to SC3, or SC3 starters wanting an overview of SC3 with an emphasis on live electronica performance. A number ofB learning templates will be provided to help quickstart projects. This workshop is a condensation of a longer annual course in London, and was also presented recently as part of the International Computer Music Conference in Singapore. SuperCollider is a lot to get through in one day, but hopefully this workshop will give a comfortable environment to try out the software and get some insight into its use and potential. Advance versions of the tutorial files are available at: http://www.sicklincoln.org/code.htm/icmc.tar.gz Lecturer:B Nick Collins & Frederik Olofsson Place: STEIM, Achtergracht 19, Amsterdam Course cost:B 40 euro It will be a 1 day, hands-on workshop and participants should bring their own laptops. Registration is required for this workshop. Places are limited to 8 participants. Registration can only be done through the STEIM website. For more information you can email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please let others interested know about this workshop. Biographies: The musical architect of Klipp av is Nick Collins, an experienced laptop performer and author of the bbcut extension set for SuperCollider. He has been a computer music researcher and composer in London for the last five years but has now escaped to Cambridge to do a PhD on bbcut. The VJ is Fredrik Olofsson, an installation artist, and a prominent MAX/MSP user and author of the nato/jitter bridge objects. Originally trained as a musician, his interests extend across the electronic arts, and he was co tutor with Nick at the Interactive Dance Music 2002 & 2003 courses in SuperCollider run in London.
