June 27th, 28th, 29th 2007
***
10am – 4pm*
*St Martins College, Lancaster*
This year's Summer School of Sound will be led by
internationally-acclaimed sound artist collective goto10
<http://goto10.org/>.
Marloes de Valk and Aymeric Mansoux will lead a three-day course,
exploring free open-source software available for home-studio purposes,
such as audio and midi sequencers, sound editors and virtual
effect-racks, as well as the creative possibilities of puredata in an
audio-workstation setup.
The Summer School of Sound will also include an evening performance on
Thursday 28 June by goto10 artists de Valk and Mansoux, as well as Dave
Griffiths and Chun Lee.
The three-day summer school is aimed at musicians, designers, artists
and those with an interest in multimedia technologies who want to
explore how new digital technologies can help and inspire us when
working with music and sound.
Participants do not need a high level of technological or programming
skills, although these would be beneficial. A strong interest in one or
more of the following areas is essential: sound art, music, technology,
open source software.

artists in their field!
