This workshop will provide a hands-on introduction to making music in
the live coding programming environment Extempore
(https://github.com/digego/extempore). The workshop will cover:
- the fundamentals of making sound (starting from "hello sine")
- an overview of Extempore’s built-in DSP libraries (including live
coding with UGens)
- introduction to note-level live coding with Extempore's built-in
synths & samplers
No Extempore or previous live coding experience necessary (although
more experienced practitioners are welcome as well). Just bring a
laptop with macOS, Windows or Ubuntu installed and we'll start from
scratch. All the required software is freely-available, and a
binary release of Extempore will be provided (so there’s no need to
build anything from scratch).
