SuperCollider 3 is a software environment for sound synthesis, performance, and live coding.. It has an extensive library of hundreds of unit generators and is well suited to projects that require the dynamic creation of multiple synthesis patches or high level compositional abstractions. Supercollider is "free" software distributed under the Gnu Public License and is available at http://supercollider.sourceforge.net . While SuperCollider is constantly evolving through a particularly active developer and user community a stable version (3.2) is available that serves as the reference version for a book that is forthcoming from MIT press. SuperCollider 3 separates synthesis from control into separate applications: a synthesis server and an object oriented programming language. This creates a very open and adaptable environment. For example, one copy of the language to control multiple servers, providing a simple way to take advantage of the multi-processing capabilities of current computers. It is also possible for multiple performers to share a single server or to play material on one another's machines. The synthesis server can be controlled by any application that supports the OSC protocol, such as Java or Max/MSP (see http://opensoundcontrol.org). Teacher Bio: Dan St. Clair makes sound installations and performances that playfully reconsider our daily listening habits. He has exhibited in public spaces and galleries in Berlin, Vienna, Seoul, Shanghai, and across the USA. His piece Call Notes (2006) uses SuperCollider in conjunction with solar-powered digital circuitry to synthesize the sound of birds singing popular melodies. Dan graduated from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago's Sound Department in 2006, and from Wesleyan University in 2004. He has studied with Nic Collins, Mary Jane Jacob, Ron Kuivila, and Anne Wilson. _______________________________________________________________________ Harvestworks is a nonprofit Digital Media Arts Center that provides resources for artists to learn digital tools and exhibit experimental work created with digital technologies.
