I'm working on them this week. I have a monster self-modulator using
LADPSAs and [plugin~] which appears to be Linux-only now, so I'll take
it apart a bit and use more universal (but not anti-aliased)
oscillators, filters, send~/receive~, etc etc. Since there's only a day
to do the workshop, I'm aiming for immediate results. So what will
probably happen is that I'll have some ready-made abstractions. Those
that are into it can dive into their structures, and those that are
scared can (hopefully) just start patching. I'll post examples later,
probably after the workshop. Flights to Berlin are still cheap, you
know ;-)

I would love to see any example patches you are planning for this - do
you have anything that sort of represents what you have in mind for
the workshop?

x workshop_7_x Berlin
17th March: Oscillation Overthruster--Pure Data (PD) Synthesis,
Feedback and Noise
with Derek Holzer (http://www.umatic.nl/info_derek.html).
Pure Data is a powerful, free and open source environment for
producing and manipulating sound, image and data in real time. This
hands-on workshop will concentrate on using oscillators, filters,
feedback and noise to create your own self-modulating/generative sound
systems. Go for that classic analog sound, do the digital
clicks-n-cuts thing, or indulge in a noise orgy freakout... Since we
will cover quite a bit of Pure Data and DSP (Digital Signal
Processing) basics, this workshop is ideal for PD beginners as well as
experienced users who want to come and make some noise
together. External inputs and controllers such as MIDI
keyboards/faderboxes, USB joysticks, sensors or microphones could be
useful, but not required.
---What to bring:
* Essential:
1) Laptop running Linux, OS X or Windows
2) Pure Data Extended installed from:
http://at.or.at/hans/pd/installers.html
3) Soundcard (internal or external, quality a non-issue)
4) Headphones
5) EUR 10 participation fee
* Recommended/Suggested:
1) MIDI controller/keyboard
2) Microphone
3) USB Joystick
4) Your own PD audio projects for feedback/show-and-tell
---About the Teacher
Derek Holzer [USA 1972] began working with Pure Data in 2001. Since
then, he has taught and performed with the program across Europe,
North America, Brazil and New Zealand. His work focuses on field
recording, networked collaboration strategies, experiments in
improvisational sound and the use of free software such as
Pure-Data. Holzer has released tracks under the Nexsound, Sirr,
and/OAR and Gruenrekorder labels, and has co-initiated several
internet projects for field recording and collaborative soundscapes
including Soundtransit.nl. He is currently writing a beginner's manual
for Pure Data.

Background:
A weekly series of constructivist workshops emphasising making and
connection within the field of the existent.
Workshops led by field-expert practitioners extend over realms of code
and embedded code, environmental code, noise, transmission and
reception, and electromysticism. Workshops solely utilise free
software and GNU toolbase.
Practitioners include Julian Oliver (http://selectparks.net/), Derek
Holzer (http://soundtransit.nl), Jeff Mann (http://jeffmann.com),
Martin Howse (http://1010.co.uk), Fredrik Olofsson
(http://www.fredrikolofsson.com/), superfactory (http://superfactory.biz)
Further planned workshops will cover Pd connectivity and hardware, the
Arduino platform, ATmega8 microcontrollers, UNIX process, free
software documentation, VLF reception, radio antenna design, analogue
TV transmission, FPGA design... full details tbc.
